I tow about 7K lbs on a fairly regular basis and have now owned both the the 3.5 400 hp and the GM 6.2 and while the 3.5 offers slightly better low end grunt than the 6.2 ( barely noticeable ) the 6.2 is superior on the long up hills because the turbos suffer from heat soak on the long high RPM low road speed pulls ( lack of air to the inter coolers ). I will probably switch back to the GM 6.2 in the coming years. Ford and GM make it very tough to pick a full size SUV these days.

So many people worry about reliability of turbocharged motors and 10speed transmissions yet only keep their cars for 125-150,000 miles. In this time both cars will get you to wherever you are going. Now at 200,000+ we might see a difference but for 99% of people out there just buy the car you like the most. With all these people leasing cars and trading them in as soon as they are paid off, or even before, reliability really really shouldn’t be too much of a concern.

Alex, the change holder is fords quick way to fill the hole where the trailer backup assist module goes. In previous generation you got the change holder or 4x4 selector. As for the ride it took the Tahoe platform to get to 2021 to get IRS. As you mentioned Expedition added IRS and air ride all the way back in 2006 and is still a great ride for suv category in my opinion. The fold flat electric seats in Expedition have been ahead of GM for years because of not having a live axle. My 2011 limited with 183k miles is still a solid machine and hope to save up for used of lease 2019 soon. I do agree Ford is always behind on updating Expedition.

Plus, you can now equip the ecoboost in the expedition to make 440HP from the factory...not sure why they couldn't add 10HP though. Toyota's version of the ecoboost makes about 348 in the SR5 tundra, 389 in every other trim (don't know why), and 409 in the Land Cruiser/LX600. Torque is about 480 lb-ft without the hybrid. So it should be competitive with the base engine in the expedition. The hybrid will have about 437HP and over 500 lb-ft of torque.

They should have never sold the Land Rover brand. They learned a lot from design from them. The SUV is an “upscale” truck market. Essentially, you are hauling “people instead of material”. SUVs are meant for off-road adventures that take long distances to get there. You want a great interior to make the long hauls enjoyable. You still need to tow every now and then in additions to brining a bunch of stuff (which this ticks those boxes). I put a deposit on the Rivian R1S. I don’t town that much, if you do, you might want to wait for the 400 mile variant. Also the gas V6 defender 110 is also a good option.

I totally agree! I've been harping about that very same thing for a couple of decades now...and, I'm talking about all of the brands of domestic, and import offerings here in the United States. To pay the "luxury" prices for the top-of-the-line models, one should expect that the same word applies to the interiors of the vehicles that some will spend more time in than they spend at home. Sure I like looks, performance, and speed just as much as the next person does. But comfort, fit, and finish should reflect the absorbidant about of money spent.

At the outset, I was disappointed that the 5.0 V8 was not even offered on the Expedition. Now, hamstrung by cylinder deactivation, any model in which it is offered at an obvious disadvantage. The Ecoboost and PowerBoost twin turbo V6s bury the V8 in payload, towing, bhp and torque. I continue to read about RV owners that still screw up safe towing capacity, pin weight and GVWR; refusing to weigh their rigs, especially travel trailers. The F-150 or 250 HD are at the top of my list because I'm buying a 5th wheel.

@barryw94734 жыл бұрын
I do think it is that simple. At least you are using it properly. Most people who drive these polluters are neither hauling people nor cargo but are using it as a single occupant commuter. It used to be that station wagons could handle similar jobs and with much less pollution.

Barry W. Why would you be watching this video if you’re so appalled by big SUVs? There are Prius videos on KZbin you may be interested in. I just bought 2 Expedition Max in the Platinum trim. One for my wife and one for me and we don’t even have kids😂. I still drive my old Excursion sometimes and the muffler is so trashed it spews tons of exhaust into the air😂. When I take it through a drive through and it sits there idling for a while, it smokes so bad it runs people out of the restaurant 😂

I prefer the Tahoe/Suburban. However I prefer to buy depreciated used vehicles that I couldn't afford or wouldn't have wanted to pay new price for. So i bought a new to me Expedition Max for just under half of its original MSRP. Tahoe/Suburban doesn't depreciate close to that. Either way, both are super nice.

I wish they would bring back full size SUVs that were actually based entirely on their half ton truck counterparts. I actually prefer a solid rear axle because I take my truck off road. The current expedition, even though I like, has no suspension travel whatsoever.

The Grand Cherokee L is likely to be significantly smaller, so I don't think it is a real competitor. The pushbutton shifter in the Tahoe is a deal-breaker for me. Also, I really don't like how tall the Tahoekonaliburbanslade's hood has become in this new model. So while the Expedition is the older model, I would probably go with that over GM's competitors if I was in the market for one of these vehicles.

The interior space does not compare to the new Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe’s cabin, especially in the top trim versions. Ford needs to give the Expedition a fully SUV specific interior instead of just copying and pasting the instrument panel designs from their pickups.
