2021 E450 All Terrain Wagon
For the most part, I'm very happy with the 2021. The body cladding is growing on me and the new powertrain is smooth as silk. There's also some nice new tech. The one big problem I have had is a failed 48 volt battery, which has plagued a lot of the 2021 E450's (GLE, sedan, wagon, etc.)

I have to laugh when you guys moan about fuel prices on here. The shortage (it was a shortage of drivers....not a shortage of fuel which caused panic buying triggered by the media) is over now and did not affect me as I had full cars before it started. But at todays exchange rate, normal fuel (not the expensive high test stuff) sets you back $8.43 per UK gallon...which is the same as $7.03 for the smaller US gallon. That's why we drive small engine cars diesels a EVs mostly and why I can drive all day and perhaps see half a dozen V8s....so count your blessing my American friends!!! You still have about the cheapest (and least taxed) fuel in the developed World.

Canada-Northern side of Great Lakes Adventure
We plan to head north from Panhandle, Florida to Duluth, Mn. Then drive along the northern edge of Great Lakes to Buffalo, NY. We have been waiting for the boarder to open. Does anyone have any comments, relative to the weather we can expect over the next 4-6 weeks? We don't want to drive in ice or snow.

Come enjoy our beautiful foliage in Algonquin or the province of Québec but I am sure USA has some nice ones too : )
That being said, it started snowing last year on November 2nd in Toronto (light snow though) not quite sure when it will start snowing in Toronto this year. So if you do plan to come, please come sooner rather than later : )

Yet Rascorp is from Florida and snow can be daunting if you're not used to it. Even here on the North Coast where we get plenty of experience driving in the white stuff, it never ceases to amuse me that when that first snowfall arrives each year, people seem to have forgotten how drive in it.

And you'd love when it snows here in Vancouver. THERE's a time you don't want to be on the roads.
