You should have known it was a v6 before you popped the hood. Drive it normal and you might get 16 mpg.

[@averageguytested]

+I should have. 😒blackericdenice

[@holisticcatalyst]

I have a 2004 Expedition Eddie Bauer with the all aluminum 4.6 with 190k, best car I have ever owned. I average around14 in the city. I run Amsoil, this is mandatory on these big trucks as they should add almost 1mpg when you run amsoil. I have seen the results on dyno tests also, better than mobile one. I only change my oil every 75,000 miles or so with amsoil. When it gets low I just put a lil more amsoil in it. Then you get the 15,000 mile mobile 1 filter and your engine should not show any wear, amsoil has this on their website. Also put the amsoil in the tranny and rear diff. mods: iridium plugs, KN air intake and filter, amsoil, middle seat removed, and the 4.6 is 200 lbs lighter and I have the tow package with 3:73 ratio, so it feels "fast" compared to my old 1998 4.6

I just posted this on Reddit. You really should have more subscribers. Oops I guess my post got removed because their algorithm thinks that I'm you. I must have posted one of your videos there before and they think I am spamming.

+thanks for trying👍🏽Richard Burton

[@slyguyaction]

That interior is definitely dated. Yes minivans suck a$$. Another great review from our favorite average guy. Love it Tony!! Love how that magazine has a Prius next to "most reliable" vehicles on the top right of the cover. Didn't think I'd like mine when I got it but it's the ultimate long distance commuter vehicle. Consistent 50mpg. MPG- 👍🏻 Sex appeal- 👎🏻 Haha.

Ryan's V-Twin Vlogs how is the interior dated dude?

[@jeffreybuse6814]

I bought a new 2014 Flex and recently bought a 2016 Expedition. Both vehicles were judged partially by your reviews. Thanks.Keep it interesting.

[@averageguytested]

+👍🏽 thanks for watching. Enjoy the ride! Jeffrey Buse

[@robbyrob8349]

I have a 2015 Expedition EL. I love it.

[@averageguytested]

Wait till you see the 2018 model.

[@jghall00]

It's improved, but the interior is still covered in hard plastics. And the depreciation is horrendous on these things.

[@drtb69]

None of these have fuel economy , and rather have the reliability and dependability and a place to service it than fancy panties European.suvs with their pretentious interiors, seriously even when I drive a lot I could care less about real wood trim..wth...and the quieter euro crap we can't find parts here or find service dealer ..even if you did .super high priced btw.. and reliability of BMW x5 and Audi q7 both sucked left me stranded... no thanks. Oh and my buddys 2011 rx350 fell apart after 7 years..constant repairs..my 2011 expedition 301k running great...only a leaky oil pressure sensor replaced.

[@averageguytested]

Drive on, my friend 👍🏽

[@nicole0002]

Looking at a used 2017. Thanks for the review! #idratherwalkthandriveaminivan

[@averageguytested]

Sweet ride - good luck!

[@amberdean458]

Me to. I'm scared

[@qx4n9e1xp]

Believe it or not, I actually had my soul set on a 2014+ Toyota 4Runner Limited. I wanted an offroad worthy SUV that was also my daily driver to work. I drove one and it wasn't the vehicle for me. I slept in it on a small camping trip in the wilderness, and hated the space in the back. Low roof, too short for me to lay down straight, and the floor isn't flat, so I was uncomfortable the whole night. Plus, the 4.0L v6 with the 5-speed was pretty slow & lethargic to drive, but with bad fuel economy as well. Shattered my view of the 4Runner. Decided I needed a slightly bigger SUV, so now I'm considering an Expo with the short wheelbase & 3.5L. Even though it has slightly worse mpg, it has way more power, a 6-speed, more cargo & passenger room, & it can tow! (Plus it costs less than the Toyota) Thanks for the review!

[@averageguytested]

Nice. Good luck!

[@tommwarneke396]

Thanks. Loved my 2008 expi, own a 2017 f-150, 3.5 NA poor power, but good MPG! Thinking of getting black into an expi? Thanks for the review. Yep,old MpG 13 on good day.

[@averageguytested]

Thanks for watching! I love the size of the truck. Enjoy!

[@thomastalks3841]

Great video! Just picked one of these up as a rental car for my travels in Florida!

[@averageguytested]

+what do you think of it? Thomas Talks

[@thomastalks3841]

I think its a nice big comfy car! However, the rental is XLT trim and it is pretty basic as it doesn't even have parking sensors. I did a video of it on my channel if you want to see my thoughts on it. It does feel dated and cheap inside too with that hard scratchy plastic around the cabin

[@pedrofernandez3893]

My cougar keeps getting 36 mpg all the time. I just can't see spending all that money for gas.

[@BMan100]

and my Challenger...(which I will soon have again.....I hope...maybe..)got 32mpg...

[@averageguytested]

+agreed! pedro fernandez

[@amberdean458]

I'm looking at a 2017 expedition el. It's got 61k on it. They want 39 for it. I have a 19 explorer. I hate it!

[@averageguytested]

Hmmm - have a mechanic look at it with you.

[@peaceandfood7952]

Really why?

[@randomdar5199]

Where you got these running boards from can you add a link please

[@averageguytested]

Those were a dealer option.

[@chubsbarrera14]

Hey man great video I love it! I was wondering what the difference is between this 2017 expi and the 2018 one? Mainly focused on the size and room inside of it as we are needing it to fit all kids and adults

[@averageguytested]

I’d have to look it up. Was there a redesign on 18?

[@chubsbarrera14]

@@averageguytested Yes there was a redesign for the 2018 one was wondering if it was worth getting over the 2017 one , if the space is worth the extra money

[@al-ibrahim7329]

I want to get one like it, how do I get it without car problems or accidents

[@averageguytested]

CARFAX for the accident history and they may even give you data on service and previous owners. Another good thing to do is to have an independent mechanic give it the once over before you buy.

[@al-ibrahim7329]

@@averageguytested I have no experience with that. But are there cars like it for sale.. and are there accounts to display these cars

[@jghall00]

Not understanding the minivan hate. I had two Honda Odysseys and I loved them. Seating for eight people and their belongings, with good handling and decent gas mileage on long highway trips. IMHO, there is no better people mover. Having said that, I just bought a 2017 Expedition EL to replace my '08 Odyssey because I need to tow a trailer. But if a minivan could tow, I'd be all in it.

[@averageguytested]

I hear you. I say that often In my videos - the minivan is the ultimate people and stuff hauler. 👍🏽

[@NorthernUtahDashcam]

I had an 07 Expedition Eddie Bauer and my MPG was as 17 most of the time with the old 5.4L V8. In my F-150 I got the same Ecoboost as in this Expedition you tested and I never go under 16 MPG.

[@averageguytested]

+🤔Northern Utah Dashcam

[@DanUtley]

Northern Utah Dashcam I just picked up a 2017 Expedition and get about 16+, too. And I'm in Western PA, which is like pure hills. Driving from Pittsburgh to Rochester last Friday I averaged 20.7 mpg. Can't complain!

[@pureluck8767]

D. Utley so did this dude lie?

[@DanUtley]

Nah. It depends on how you drive it, really. Around town where I am, with tons of stop and go, we're averaging about 15 mpg pure crappy Pittsburgh Horribly Timed Signals driving. But, I did also get 21 mpg driving from Pittsburgh to Rochester again. So all in all, it's highly dependent. I personally like the horsepower available in my Expedition and, uh... "make use of it" when driving around morons / the public. So that could be partly to blame. If you floor it from a stop, it blows through gas like you punched a hole in the tank lol.

[@averageguytested]

+😂😂🚀D. Utley

[@elliekim6666]

I wouldn't buy this now considering the 2018 model year is coming and that is a fully new model.

[@averageguytested]

+yup - I hope the '18 ROCKS! Ben Dunn

[@DanUtley]

Ben Dunn While you're right, it's a brand new engine and drivetrain. I'd give them 3 years to work our the kinks.

[@elliekim6666]

D. Utley I still wouldn’t put my money to this gen because how old it is. If possible wait or bet on the 2018model imho.

[@timjkelly2121]

Is this a max? The trunk space looks huge

I don’t think it was. I’ll have to go back and check.

I think I like you. Kinda angry like me

[@averageguytested]

+yup - MAD TONY! Mike Mc

[@wiibaron]

Minivan: More space, way better MPG, anyone can park it anywhere, lower price, lower insurance cost, kids/oldies can get in easily, drives like a car. But you are not 'cool'. You'd think if you were mature enough to have kids, you would chose pure no-brainer over cool. But this is America...

[@averageguytested]

+😂😂😂 I said that minivans are better for all the reasons you mention wiibaron

[@nicole0002]

wiibaron I would rather walk than give up on life with a mini van!
