Excellent review. Thanks Skotty.

[@michaelsullivan5397]

The Chevrolet Suburban was the first US made SUV starting in 1935, and it's still being made today.

[@98triffid]

Michael Sullivan I'm going to disagree. Willys had true 4x4 versions going back to WW2. GM certainly did produce the Suburbans in the 1930s but it wasn't a 4x4 platform until the late 1950s. Ultimately it all depends on what your definition of a SUV is. If a high wheelbase wagon = SUV, GM. If a 4x4 high wheelbase wagon = SUV, Willys.

[@frankmagana1408]

David Regan suburbans werent made for super off roading. They were meant to haul anything for a very very very long time to most places

[@SM1937G]

David Regan. I would go with the first definition. Simply because I don't think it needs to be 4WD to be an SUV. If it did then Sport Terrain Vehicle seems a more accurate description .

[@marcharris2734]

I believe my uncle had an early 50's 4x4 chevy panel van when I was a kid, It looked way more like an SUV than a van, Hmm, then there's the old beer wagons, hmm, then there's the wooden wagon, desert schooner....

Scotty is spot on about Ford's 10-speed transmission. I just bought a Mustang GT which makes 460HP and has this transmission. I just took my first 40-mile trip with it, which had city and highway driving. I averaged 25 mpg.

[@travis4798]

I take my 1st gen off road all the time. Too bad the new ones couldn't climb a pebble due to epa restrictions (ride height/ body line for gas mileage). I actually find mine quite useful. I removed the 3rd row seat so I can use it for work. It's funny to see people stare it down when I'm pulling a 8,000lb load behind it meanwhile their Chevy 2500 or whatever is pulling two little jet ski's. Has the 5.4L, Awd, mid gears, 4r100 trans, and heavy duty coilovers in the back set up for towing, use to have air ride.

So I went and bought at 2000 Honda Civic ex Coupe for the days when I don't have to haul anything or drop off the kids and that little thing gets almost 35 miles per gallon. Best 1800 bucks I've spent in a long time :D

[@mikeceli]

Another nice video, Scotty. Don't forget the International Harvester Scout, SUV which came out in 1961, ahead of the Bronco.

[@robbyrob8349]

The Ford Expedition was the successor of the Bronco even though I love the Bronco. I have a 2015 Expedition EL also with a 3.5L EcoBoost and I love it. I bought it used down in Miami. It's really fun to drive😁

[@kalebaldwin5398]

A few things here : 1. GM’s had the Suburban since 1935. 2. Jeep came out with the Wagoneer in 1962. 3. International had the Scout 4. Ford wouldn’t have made the Bronco on the F-series platform if not for the Chevy K-5 Blazer. 5. There wouldn’t have been the “game-changing” Ford Explorer if not for the Jeep Cherokee, which in itself was a response to the Chevrolet/GMC S-10 Blazer/S-15 Jimmy.

[@TheSaxyG]

None of this matters, Scotty is getting paid by Ford to lie for them.

[@brandonr45]

1. The suburban was a panel wagon/station wagon from the 30s to the 70s 2. The jeep wagoneer, was classified as a station wagon, hence the name 3. You have a point there, but the Scout was barebones and didn't have a legacy. 4. The Bronco predated the k5 blazer so that is irrelevant. 5. The Explorer was vastly superior to every other SUV on the market at the time. Just face it, the Bronco was the closest thing to a modern SUV in the 60s

[@ShoutingMeatball]

Kale Baldwin right

[@ktpinnacle]

The Scout predates the Bronco by 5 years and was very popular on farms and the field. Why do you think Ford finally jumped on the idea?

[@elidames6889]

[@petermasci1728]

My 2015.5 suburban averages 26mpg 4wd always useful in the snow, and nothing beats it's giant v8! Wish it was louder though. And Chevy has made the suburban for over 80 years now, that's the first SUV, not ford

[@hajjdawood]

Chevy has impressively efficient V8s. I am a Ford guy but have a lot of respect for the Chevy V8.

[@rangerrick1859]

Hajji Daoud Ford's 5.0L Coyote can get up to 25 mpg with the 10 speed auto at 55-65 mph. It does not have any cylinder deactivation like the GM V8s.

[@petermasci1728]

Mine only has the 6 speed, it was before the 10 speed came out

[@hajjdawood]

Yea I have the 2018 5.0L V8, I get around 24 MPG-E (equivalent because I use E85) unfortunately it seems Ford may be abandoning the Coyote which is sad as it is my favorite engine.

It's impossible to repair cars these days, i mean, u can change a wheel, maybe a suspension, but not even that anymore, i mean, Audi's lift them self up and down to prevent crashes or give u more comfort, cars these days are made for rich people that have enough money to maintain them ...

[@AndrewFRC135]

SDD525 Maybe, but generally from what I've seen the more Horsepower per Liter a motor makes, the shorter its lifespan.

[@Rocketninja200]

So you've owned a Mini Pooper too? :)

[@garystrobel7969]

Hey Scotty, I still own and run my 2001 Ford Expedition (5.7L) from when I bought it new. Still lovin' it. It has to be one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. I also have had it off road too. Over boulders in the Smokey Mountains (ask my family about that time), locally going up and down mud slick rocky trails in 4WD (it has both HI and LOW gearing and the complete off road package, crush plates, etc). It is even more fun in the snow if you can imagine 2 1/2 tons (tonnes) of truck just about equally weighted over 4 wheels, it literally cannot be stopped. Just smile at everyone as you go by and sometimes stop to get someone going again. Really impressed with that gas mileage too. Mine only gets about 16mpg highway.

[@jonesin615]

Yours don’t have a 5.7L engine. It’s a 5.4L 330ci modular triton v8. Or they are avail with 4.6L. Unless you’ve done a 350 swap with Chevrolet engine which is unlikely.

[@c21secco]

Enjoyed the video Scotty. This beauty man cave. Is similar to my 2003 Lincoln Navigator. I call it the NAVI cruiser. Mine looks like everything you shown. In my years with it. I removed the rear console and made it accessible walk way for the third folding row. I replaced the old air suspension for springs. Everything else works. hardly any repairs. Best car and luxury that I ever got to own free and clear since 2005. We can't seem to get tired of it. It has 113k miles in 2018 :D. Drive it in town mainly. My kids don't want me to sell her. They love cruising to restaurants and attractions as people watch the NAVI cruise by. Mileage haven't paid attention to it Guess about $75 for 3 weeks worth. Cool video Scotty.😎

[@04dram04]

Most of these huge suv’s never go off road or tow. A mini van makes sense over this. But most buyers are to insecure to get a mini van. So pathetic

[@GhostlyGhille]

just buy an fx4 Expedition this one obviously isnt equipped for off road its RWD i wouldnt off road a RWD pickup either.

[@davidashurov5255]

SUVS are more comfy and useful,I spent most of my life in minivans as a passenger and suvs are a VAST improvement for them (assuming they are physically to step in) and drivers especially in big cities can get midsize suvs like explorers,durangos or pilots and find parking more easily(not to mention driving them is more enjoy able) that seat the same amount of people, also aesthetics minivan design is pretty trash save for the pacifica and odyssey and people want something that at least doesnt completley disgust their occulus.

YourTypical Asian it’s not ugly. I just don’t think the design is original or at least the features aren’t reminiscent of the old Bronco. Like a Mustang will always have a feature similar to the original 60’s Mustang that will let you know it’s a Mustang at a glance.

In the description of this video. the question is asked, " Is Ford reliable?" Unfortunately, no answer to that question. From my experience the answer is somewhat reliable. Less reliable than Toyota, but about as reliable as GM (which means over 100,000 with few to no problems, but watch out as you approach 200,000).

My '03 Silverado had almost 300,000 miles on it when I sold it. Engine was just tired out, but it was original as well as the transmission. I think the problem these days is the maintenance on the vehicles. For example, I always change my oil every 5,000 miles, coolant every 2 years or 25,000 miles, and drop the pan and change the filter on the transmission every 50,000 miles. I can't justify changing the oil every 7,500-10,000 miles. From what I learned from the automotive gurus over the years, the more you change your fluids, the longer the drive train is going to last. Except for one vehicle that was totaled in a car accident, every one of my vehicles that I have owned (Ford, GM, Chrysler) have lasted well over 200,000 miles before selling them. So yes, I do agree cars are less reliable these days, which is why I am more vigilant with the maintenance. I also perform all the maintenance myself, but that isn't always someone's cup of tea either.

Trucks in particular are more durable on the GM and Ford products. You will be hard pressed in the cars to do the same (get 300,000 on the original power train). However, I did own until very recently a 2006 Saab 9-3 with nearly 175,000 on it and going strong except a tree fell on it and totaled it (that is not the car's fault). So I agree, maintenance helps all around just my experience shows that for those two companies many have a hard time making it beyond 200,000 (some of my cars have lasted 300,000 but not all of them - not trucks or SUVs).

[@Trident_Euclid]

GM's are far more reliable than Ford's. At least where I live.

[@Epotheros]

It depends on the engines though. Ford V8 RWD car platforms and trucks are the most likely vehicles in North America to reach 300,000 miles. Chevy Trucks and Toyota 4 cylinder cars also have similar reliability.

[@Trident_Euclid]

@@Epotheros GM trucks and SUV's are more preferable than Toyota and Nissan in the middle east now days. Especially for reliability and gas mileage.

[@johnnyrivera1553]

Good video, Scotty! Hopefully O. J. Can gives us part 2. Lol Now where is my like and heart. 😉

[@zhiyuanli8735]

At least Scotty didn't discourage us to buy it this time :D The all new 2020 Explorer ST and Platinum will equip with the same 3.0L V6 engine and 10-speed transmission under the hood. Excited about this new model!

[@TTime685]

Lol Americans just don't know when enough is enough..

[@cdawg3506]

No, maybe it’s just the culture and people needing more vehicle?

[@LucasGarrow]

Love the Tesla stock as the 'surprise' image!

[@JLRide]

Lucas Yup. That stock is fueled by dreams.

[@LucasGarrow]

Jose Luis you misspelled 'tax money'

[@wkdravenna]

I had an early Ford explorer and I loved it. These new ones are super fancy looking. Look nice but I really liked that old school simple Explorer

[@davidcornell4463]

I have a '96 Ford Explorer XLT, bought used 3 years ago, and aside from some minor repairs, it got me through a year of delivering pizza (before I left that crap job behind for one I drive about a half hour to get to). Minimal maintenance (because, as I said, it was a crap job and I couldn't afford the time or the money) and it never gives me any serious problems. Now that I have a bit more money coming in, and a LOT less driving, I can get more things done. Damned dependable, got me through Tropical Storm Irma and shrugged it off like it was just another Tuesday.

[@alnbaba]

I like the fuel economy but twin turbo and 10 speed when they fail there goes your savings.

[@philliptoone]

1:13 WRONG! I've got a 1969 Bronco and it came stock with a 302 V8.

[@jonathonmerritt6451]

I take my 08 Eddie Bauer Expedition off road quite often. A lot of lakes in northern Saskatchewan are accessed by 4×4 trucks only.

[@Nekzus]

I've a 2020 Expedition MAX. Yes, it's ginormous. Yes it handles like an oil tanker. But I'm very satisfied with it. Fits the 5 of us very comfortably. Towed a car trailer and a car like it wasn't there. Handles the snow like it wasn't there.

[@livelife3502]

I want one 👍 shipped to Australia

[@shaun1293]

And then Nissan created the Qashqai; the first crossover. Now crossovers are everywhere... and most are so ugly.

[@CJColvin]

SlovesL Exactly mate.

[@juanee2]

most are ugly... yes, like the Qashqai :)

[@holmiumh]

RAV4 and CR-V are 10 years earlier than Qashqai, they are probably the first modern crossovers.

[@kangvp9512]

The Jeep Cherokee XJ is the first crossover. It may not look like one, but it is not body-on-frame.

[@kangvp9512]

@InfiniteMushroom good point. Plus most car buyers are just regular people that want cars that take them from A to B without hassle, or without breaking down. They don't care about design or performance. Just efficiency, practicality, and comfort.

[@Vanquishfanboy]

I have a 2019 platinum and love it!!!

[@sandysandoz467]

I love your videos! Talk about2006 toyota camry...

[@chrisrobbins9058]

One day I’ll go from a 2004 Expedition to a 2019

[@kennynguyen2105]

I just bought one with 4wd and it's a livingroom on wheel.

[@billstmaxx]

i love it when they put more "technology" crap on cars.. More to go wrong

[@rangerrick1859]

BILLSTMAXX how is your 2013 ecoboost f150 doing Bill?

[@ktrigg2]

That’s the idea

[@scottyellis3442]

Had a 2001 Expedition it was a good car, 255,000 miles on it when I sold it & still ran great. Mine was a 4×4 & we would drive it out on the beach. "Outer Banks here in N.C." Great fishing truck.

[@AH-zw9zx]

My Explorer V8 still purrs after 15 years and 180k miles. The 2-valve 4.6L is excellent. Lots of torque. Rarely has to exceed 3000 rpm. Very comfortable place to be, especially on the highway. Happily picks up speed without downshifting. I've accidentally hit 90 before, lol! Accelerates from a stop pretty quickly too, when you consider how big it is and how much stuff and people you can put in it. Recently replaced the timing chains, guides, and tensioners. Which was relatively easy because they're both at the front. (The regular 4.0 V6 models have 4 chains, one of which is on the back of the engine, and requires either the entire engine, or transmission to be taken out in order to access)
