Is the 2025 Ford Expedition MAX a BETTER full size SUV than a Chevrolet Suburban?

[@justtonee270]

I really think Ford did a great job with the redo of the Expedition

[@RaitisRides]

I have to agree with you!

[@ksammy0701]

“ Ribbed for your pleasure” 😆

[@keithginyard7696]

That's what I thought. 😂😂😂

[@coltonmarshburn1828]

The new Expedition looks great, but Ford just needs to bring back the Excursion

[@chasethecarguy]

If it had the V8 it would be but without it I can’t say it’s better than a Suburban.

[@RaitisRides]

It does have more horsepower than the Suburban

[@Mikek88]

Exactly. Longterm I don’t trust the motor to run as long as a V-8 will.

[@coolguy10098]

Might have more horsepower & everything but towing wise a V6 would be overkill to the V8 if turbocharged

[@jmoore4156]

GM's current V8 offerings aren't all that reliable either. I'd actually trust Ford's turbocharged engines more so than GM's newest small blocks.

[@jfscotch]

@@jmoore4156 Totally agree. Was just looking at a new Tahoe with the 5.3 but with all the lifter failures in that engine and the 6.2L, I'd rather take the 3.5 Ecoboost that has been tweaked for the better generation after generation. Just keep up with the maintenance and oil changes and it should be pretty reliable for years to come.

[@itzreece6347]

Nobody does it better than Raiti's Rides & Team.

[@DarkJediChrisG-1425]

Ford did a great job avoiding the zonk with no rear wiper, then screwed it up by dumping gloss black all over the tailgate. Nice going there 🙁

[@kobe_dough3702]

The gloss black on the tailgate is one of the most redundant things about the new Expedition.

[@SpringfieldTony]

any day with a Raiti's video upload is a good day

[@omarcortes5754]

Ford really did a great job with this new Expedition. It looks amazing.

[@jonesjones7057]

Half these comments are bots lately. Sound like a Ford commercial. "How did they do this?" "Ford really knocked it out of the park." "The Ford Expedition is a large family vehicle people really love!" GMAFB.

[@decline1129]

Yes because only bots would prefer a family suv that doesn’t leave them stranded due to GM’s shit AFM system failing

[@jonesjones7057]

@decline1129 don't get me wrong, the vehicle is fine, but if you look at some of the comments, people don't usually say things the WAY it's being said. It's like a commercial when you hear a person say, "I thought I was controlling my moderate to severe arthritis". No one actually talks like that. Half the comments here had that commercial type text. Once you notice it, its just annoying because I like to read what real people have to say, even your response that while being sarcastic, at least you are real and it was funny.

“I just found out I have 3 extra kids” is crazy work

Ok it’s time for the Excursion. I’ve been waiting YEARS. My mom had a lifted Limited when I was younger and I loved it

Yea if they bring that back. It'll sell like crazy. Put the Supercharged V8 in it too...make it a true excursion

[@dominickirkwood]

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 💯

'Ribbed for your pleasure...' lol Joe! Looks really good. Be better with a V8, but they all would 👍

I like it Joe. I hope you and Lori are having a great time. You guys look so happy together 😊

[@dirk1827]

I think the outside looks pretty good actually. I’m not liking a lot of these interior designs these days though. Circular dials for shifting gears is so awful. I like the new Tahoe and Denali better than this.

[@SuperWhit55]

I LOVE that gloss black on the rear of this suv!!! So cool!!

[@stephanied1028]

How are people affording vehicles starting at 78k? These prices are insane.

[@c1rca23]

According to google- “12% of households make over $200k per year”. So, those people.

[@stephanied1028]

@ The problem with that number is that we’re seeing people we know for a fact don’t make that kind of money driving these vehicles. People staying poor trying to keep up appearances.

[@mikejames-drummerreginacan1386]

❤️ the new dash panels , rims, sliding console, door panels, headlights, hidden wiper Dislike the black gloss trunk, the interior is just ok. The cherry leather would look nice with some color combonations. I do like wood grain and lighting.

[@BrandenFoster]

Since it’s on the f150 frame I’d coyote swap it. People are doing some insane things with that street truck platform

[@Kenopshi-q7c]

Why the two tone tailgate😵

[@abrahamlopez57]

Frkn awesome wheel and tire package. To me the shoes on a vehicle/suv are one of the most if not the most important things as far as looks go, I'm my opinion.

[@RaitisRides]

You’re absolutely right!

[@coachmaupin201]

Nice GMC SUV 🚙

[@RaitisRides]

I see what you did there

[@zdzislawmeglicki2262]

Hard plastics on the sides of the third row… I think that most of the time you'll have the third row seats folded down and the space used for cargo, which is why they made it like that.

[@davonne225]

Love that color. Yes zonk on the bottom of the grille not having LED fog lamps on a Platinum trim. Love those wheels for sure. Very tasteful. Massage seats is a nice touch. No ventilated seats in the rear is a zonk. The interior is nice. Love the color and the leather seats. GM does a great job with the screens in the headrests cause that's a good selling point and it keeps the little ones entertained. Not feeling the rear of the new Expedition though.

[@soidus]

I just bought a 2024 Expedition!

[@hotrodbmx]

I would prefer a naturally aspirated v8. And I absolutely despise all the black on the lift gate

[@jesusortiz8666]

That color is real sharp

[@wesalexander2693]

Great review, Joe! Considering the Lincoln Navigator L, the Platinum Expedition seems like a better buy and it is nearly as nice.

What a great review I’m not a Ford guy, but that expedition is really sexy as well as all of the new technology.

[@adrian_gdl_jal16]

[@RaitisRides]

I like the way that you think!

[@rastageorge9194]

Anyone who knows anything about engine technology will tell you that in these years, 2024/2025, GM need new engines. They have played all the games they can with their present mainstream V8 gas engine configurations, and the consumers have come out on the losing end in terms of power and efficiency.

[@Harold.Richard]

Joe, would you know what it means when I start my ‘21 STI, and I let off my clutch, and the car “bites” and moves forward just a couple inches. It primarily does it when it’s been sitting overnight. Is my clutch going out or? 33,000 miles, still under warranty.

[@DEEPCYCLEGARAGE]

I agree with the zonk gloss black on the back, it looks so classy until the back in black. *Ya see what I did there? 😉 I'd like to get some more wood on my dash maybe a nice thick 12 inch strip right down the center of that dash with a real PLATNUM inlay same font as the outside of course. I'm gonna zonk the steering wheel. The steering wheel and the back are like some big black robot with no wood in trying to take over my classy ride! Go ahead and give me some analog gauges, steel bumpers, and some Edison bulbs!

[@georgiafan6618]

It’s really cool looking. The wheels are nice. A Tahoe sized SUV is what I want without a 3rd row. Is the gloss black on tailgate a plastic piece or is it painted metal? Smallish door speaker cavity means limited aftermarket speaker size. The dash on the caddy sclade seems more user friendly. The rotary shifter knob is on the dash. Ugh. Why tip the dash controls upward? Can you see them while you’re driving in bright sunlight? Everything else seems nice. I’ll never use or pay for blue cruise. Split gate is a great idea. The weird dash really ruined it for me. Otherwise good improvements.

No way. And the F150 interior is better. Very sad.

[@user-st8dx1ju5k]

I've driven both. The Suburban feels more substantial and the instrument panel is better laid out for customization but the Expedition does a better job at hiding its size and girth, making it feel easier to manuver and park. Its a tie.

[@Tbcycoji]

By lookin' at the thumbnail of the expedition and the chevy one. Clearly can see similarities on the side panels / windows.

Gonna have to zonk that one, because it’s a Ford. Just kidding. I like it.

Another awesome video! We are between the 2025 platinum and the 2025 Yukon Denali. What would you choose??

[@25brentharris]

I've driven both and the GMC feels more substantial and smoother with the air ride and the magnetic ride control. Plus it has a v8 or diesel option. Not to mention I despise the black on the tailgate of the Ford. Finally, I just think the Denali has a better interior. Just my opinion though.

@@25brentharris How? The 2025 expedition hasnt hit lots yet

That’s a lot better interior than a 2025 suburban but I see all the coyotes talking about a V8 didn’t they already prove with the Ford trucks the past several years that you don’t need a VA you can go pretty much just as fast with the eco-boost

[@sevenoneeight9314]

Ford needs to be more creative and bring back the Excursion, legit lasting models and returning models of the past, ex. The Excursion could be the F-350 frame as a two door 2 or 4 seater that is off road and luxurious, the thunderbird could return as a roadster that gives another option to the mustang, GT Supercar could return especially as a grand tourer competition to Aston Martin, Ferrari and Mclaren while the Bronco needs more variants while Jeep Dodge is dropping the ball with the bs EV protocol.
