Very impressive! This vehicle is probably best in its class by a good margin and this episode may be TFL Truck's best production yet quality-wise. You have raised the bar. GM and Chrysler have their work cut-out for them, the race is on -- its good for us all.

Top of Ike, towing and still only at half throttle. The automotive industry has truly come a long way. I’ve made that drive several times and that is impressive by any manufacturer. These are good times in this segment for sure.

There should be some examples now that the EB V6 has been on sale since 2011 in the F-150, Flex, Explorer, and Lincoln MKT and Navigator. I doubt the EB V6 is especially unreliable, but when it comes time to fix something, the repair costs are likely to be higher than what's needed to fix an OHV V8. The mileage improvement claims have already shown to be largely nil.

SurelyYewJest Well there's always the v8 option with the 5.0. Personally, when I bought my explorer, I went with the 3.5 duratec, which is supposidly, a very reliable na engine, but I have no gripes with ecoboost engines, I just agree that a na engine will be cheaper to mantain, but that doesn't mean a eb is unreliable like you said, it just means it'll be more expensive to mantained over a long period of time, 10-15 yrs. I'm essentially just restating your points because I liked your post, well said.

Puff the Magic Dragon I don’t believe there is a 5.0 option as of right now... I am kinda surprised by that but it makes sense the 5.0 while an incredible engine doesn’t really have a lot of low end torque to move a heavy SUV...or it wasn’t getting the CAFE numbers mpg Ford needed.

I know that road very well. First drove it in 1973 when it opened. Drove Loveland Pass before that. Still like the pass, more scenic. When they first head up hill you see condos on the right. Owned one and a house and property for over 15 years. I might have driven that road 3 00+ times. The gas station they stopped at is 1/2 mile to the north. A 7-11. Was impressed by the trans grade braking. Someone said use cheaper brakes instead of trans. They do not know how to drive in the mountains. Have smelled overheated brakes many times at the. Seen several accidents from overheated brakes. In the last scene standing in the parking area. Look at the mountain behind the left .guy. That is Mt Bethel. The 2 dark vertical lines are snow fences to keep snow off the avalanche chute to the right, Loveland Basin ski area is a mile closer. Feb 1988 they got 77 inches of snow in 5 days. CDOT caused a avalanche there. Buried the interstate. I had to sit there 5 1/2 hours for one lane to get cleared.

Most people who want to tow with tundras do air ride & stuff & some swap out our axles for Chevy 2500 axles for towing

No. A couple others had really low brake app counts. There have even been times where a particular example of a particular truck model has had more or fewer brake apps than a previous example (of the same truck) they tested. The brake app test is useless IMO. I get the logic behind it, but the results they've gotten over the last couple years they've had it, indicates to me that there are factors outside just a truck's engineering that affect it.

great review. I am a little biased, currently on my second expedition, and hoping to upgrade to the 2018 soon. good point about towing help for the occasional tow-er. We tow a camper only about 4-5 times per year so any extra stability and assistance is welcomed, especially with a vehicle full of people.

I have and looked again since the revision. No mention of payload ratings or GVWR for the Expedition. Although I did see page 37 states the receiver is rated at 930 lbs max with weight distribution so that is limiting factor for me. I use 10% of trailer weight on the hitch as a minimum not a maximum.

I recently began driving an '18 Ford 150 Raptor and tow on occasion with a single axle trailer loaded right up to its GWR of 3,500# and tongue weight just under 400#. I thought I was nuts because I NEVER have to brake in tow mode on long steep downhill runs. It grade shifts excellently and I think (not totally sure) that it applies the brakes itself (no brake lights noticed) to hold back. So you guys having only one early on brake application on Ike, maybe I am not so nutty.

They are the same size, just mirrored from each other. They are really small turbos and spool quite fast. Which is why they have great torque, but fall on their face past 5000rpm. A compound turbo setup requires the exhaust from all cylinders to be routed to one turbo, which then feeds another turbo.

7000 pounds is a hitch weight of AT LEAST 700 pounds. The three of you (assuming 225 pounds) weight almost 700 pounds so you were just at the cargo capacity of the vehicle. If the hitch weight is over 700 pounds, which I suspect it is, there's a good chance you were over the rated cargo capacity of the vehicle.

D Jay T The only advantage of that would be offroading and maybe towing. Things most explorer owners will never do, I didn't say no owners, I said most. Plus, if you wanted a badass offroader , why not buy a raptor or the new Bronco that's rumored to be priced similarly to the explorer, according to a supposed ford engineer claiming they wanted a 30k starting price, but that's just a claim, who knows if it's true. The 2011 to current imo body explorers are great, among some of the best family cars out there, aside from hardcore offroading, they do everything well. They're safe, reliable, reasonable fast, attractive, comfortable, decently roomy, and enjoyable to drive. The old explorers were great, my grandparents owned one from the early 90s until 2010, when it was totaled and they now own a '04 explorer, they love them, but they love my 2017. I don't even have a loaded up model, it's the base because my parents didn't want a huge amount of tech features, plus we wanted a car that would be reliable long term. The higher end explorers are pretty reliable, but not as reliable as the lower trim levels it seems.

You could get about the same HP and torque number from the standard 3.5 EcoBoost with a tune, as you could with the 3.5 HO

Can you test GLS450 vs X7 vs Q7 vs Cayenne va QX80 for towing? It is hard to believe German SUVs can’t tow better than American SUVs.

Will be interesting to see what kind of marketshare this can steal from the Tahoe/Suburban. Are they slated for redesign 2020 model year or 2021?

NWI It's going to be a good battle for marketshare. Personally ford and gm are both doing great right now imo, hopefully, competition like this continues to creare better products from both brands, sick corvette btw.

I think Ford is kicking GM's ass to hell and back on the interior game. I legitimately think GM is taking five massive steps backward, going back to acres of hard, poorly fitting, and weak black plastics with therrible graining. I hate to say it, but I work at a Chevy dealer - I am entirely unimpressed with nearly everything they have out right now. I think Buick and GMC, on the other hand, are doing great interior-wise.

Its a timed test, but either its pedal to the metal, the speed limit, or 60 mph? Not sure how that equates to fair. If the expedition could attain 70 mph then why was it held at 60? Or was it full throttle? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just a bit confusing. Has the testing changed? Are they all going to do 60?

4 gauge Electric fans have belts? No wonder you think it takes 5 hours to change a fanbelt... On a more serious note, every modern car will be more complex than its predecessor. That's simply how technology has come about in these computers on wheels. Doesnt discount the capability and "TOP NOTCH"ness of the OP's comment though.

4 gauge But the new fords are also much more reliable than the old ones. They may be more expensive to fix, but the trade off is they break alot less.

Alan Bowers It doesn't mean the products will be unreliable. What's more reliable, a model t or a new ford? Thr answer is obvious, most of these will last hundreds of thousands of miles without many issues, that's just how new cars are. I agree they're harder and more expensive to fix, but the trade off is they don't need to be fixed near as much.

Puff the Magic Dragon sure I agree. My point was merely for 4 gauge who doesn’t seem to actually have experience on modern cars. Certain aspects can be more unreliable but like you said in general they are better than they were.

Take it off-road, and do highway loop empty and try highway loop with trailer, please and thank you. What you guys can do maybe city driving MPG. Since they say 17 or whatever on these cars / trucks but its never accurate. Just like you guys do the highway maybe you can try at least 20 miles city and the rest we can calculate or 50 miles its not to long. I feel like you dont need to do the 100 miles city.
