Is the 2023 Ford Expedition a BETTER luxury SUV than a Chevrolet Tahoe?

The Expedition is Ford's largest SUV. On the outside of the Platinum trim you will find full lED lighting, 22in wheels, power dropping running boards and unique grill. On the inside you will be greeted by a full leather interior, massive 15.5 in infotainment screen and panoramic sunroof. Under the hood is a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 that is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 Ford Expedition a BETTER luxury SUV than a Chevrolet Tahoe?

The little mat falling out of the tray has me in tears 😂 and the improv to along with it from Joe. I swear Joe could be Hollywood comedy actor but, he is doing gods work and bringing us average Joes (no pun intended 😂) the informative car reviews we need. Keep up the great work Joe and team!

[@devinm4744]

Great video, Joe! Currently taking a road trip across the country in one of these. It’s super comfortable and got plenty of room. The expedition really lives up to its name!

[@ilc-nl3yy]

I bought a 2012 Expedition King Ranch EL in mint condition, with only 39k miles back in October, for $23k out the door. People are insane for buying these high dollar late model Expeditions with 6 cylinder turbos. Mine may not be new nor have the technology, but it's paid for.

[@ZACH_95_]

I have a 2016 f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost, it currently has 217k miles on her. Drives amazingly. You take care of your shit it’ll last. These ecoboost have been around for awhile now and they’ve fixed all the problems. Especially in the 3.5.

Ford Expedition sales are up 73% compared to last year. This Expedition is nice! However, ford still lags chevy tahoe in sales, but not by much!

[@clarencepreston573]

The expedition sales are up but is this trim?

[@thomasnew8606]

We just got a 23 Limited with the big screen and towing package regular size and it is great! The Platinum nice but quite a bit more $$$ for not much useful features over ours.

[@Coldlegend214]

[@Vincevon95]

Ford has got to step up their game, look at the competition! They’ve got to make a new Expedition quick.

[@chrisgelo1425]

I 100% Agree

[@moneyinyour30s]

Drove one of these recently for a long road trip. Very comfortable ride and averaged a little over 20 mpg overall...mostly highway though.

Just in time! I literally call my Ford dealership Saturday looking for one! Its a sign!! Thanks Joe

"Four kids you didn't even know you had." That's gonna make me laugh all day.

I clicked off of the video once he mentioned the 85K price tag. Damn either I'm cheap or cars are just too damn expensive these days!!

[@RaitisRides]

I feel your pain about pricing.

[@clarencepreston573]

I’m am not sold on this particular trim for 85,000$ i understand that ford is trying to sell performance and technology but they have bad quality in technology for the price and V6 turbos with that type of power won’t last 8 years. This truck is priced 20,000 over what it should be.

Great review Joe! It's a shame these have gotten so expensive. I always prefer renting Expeditions over Tahoes/Suburbans when traveling with my clan.

[@bryanwashington9511]

I prefer the Tahoe and Suburban largely due to engine options

It needs dual exhaust, the rear wipers needs to be tucked away and out of sight and finally for that price heads up display.

[@brucecornell9934]

It has auto hold, it has the option of turning it off in the driver assistance menu. Someone must have turned it off

[@thomasnew8606]

It does and I turned ours off also. Annoying feature if you are trying to creap forward some. Coming into a garage for example

Great Review as Always Joe. I still think I like the GM (Chevy, GMC, Caddy) products better, but this Ford is a great leap forward with the 6 Eco Turbo, etc. Loved your references to "12 Inches" and "Balls", ha ha ha LOL.

Thanks for tuning in.

[@mattmekhaeil]

2 things I want to change in this one is the engine. A large suv like this should at least have a V8 as an option. The second thing is that vertical infotainment system is really ugly. It sticks out and doesn’t flow with the interior

[@66skate]

The 3.5 has far more power then the V8. That screen is an option.

[@kugelschreiber5678]

But.... "MuH EnViRoNmEnTtTT" Can't appease the eco terrorists with a V8..

I thought the limited was the top trim for the Expedition. It's the top trim for the F-150 and the Explorer though. Wheels are nice. Quad exhaust would've been nice on a platinum trim. Shocking that it doesn't have a head up display in a platinum trim.

[@RaitisRides]

It is the opposite for the SUVs for some strange reason.

[@aymanlockhartable]

I wonder if Ford going to do EV Expedition based off Ford Lightning truck? Good market for large 3 row EV! If Ford can make it cheaper than Tesla Model X and Rivian R1S should do well! However Ford needs to work on making lightweight EV probably weight 5 tons!!

[@emekamgbaja3238]

0-60 in 4.8secs...faster than the ST?🤔

[@drift3rkid66]

Joe, I totally agree with you on the EV thing, BUT, 'hear' me out! I think Ford should have made the 5.0 an option on the Expedition, along with the Ecoboost V6, what do you think?

[@RaitisRides]

I am totally game

[@stangman50]

Joe, this model does not have the stealth performance engine, it’s rated at 400 horsepower not 440. It also doesn’t have the heavy duty tow package and is rated at 6000lb.

[@paulbyrne8765]

Ford increased the HP/TQ for 2023 platinum trim.

[@tae-007]

front end is stuck in 2017

[@proudam3969]

If Ford made this with an optional naturally aspirated V8 engine I would buy one. The Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon & Yukon XL are flying off the shelves. I'm really hesitant buying a large full size SUV with a turbo.

[@juliew8687]

Agree with you 100%

[@x246813579]

The turbo engines on these are very reliable. I have had 3 Ecoboost trucks with one at 107k miles. My 6.2L sierra is already ticking hard due to the AFM with only 5k miles on it. I'm switching back to a turbo engine in either the jeeps, Ford, or Toyota. Turbo engines have an insane amount of low end torque. The hunt for gears a lot less than my 6.2 due to all the low end power.
