Things have changed somewhat since then...I seem to recall some sort of a health event that occurred several months after September 2019 that had some minor effects on a number of things...
That happened on my 2015, the rears were replaced at 45k miles, the fronts are still good now at 67k. The truck was previously owned by a Federal agency, God only knows how they drove it...
Let me amend that post slightly. The SSV also includes Control Trac with the 3.73ELSD and a 2spd transfer case as standard as opposed to those features being optional on other series and packages.
Glad to see another SSV owner, I have a 2024 Max SSV, and you ask a very good question. The answer is there are no mechanical differences between the SSV and a non-SSV XL (100A or 101A) package or the XLT. In fact, the only "mechanical difference" (such as it is) is the column shifter and the...

Interestingly enough, Expeditions are not always eligible for incentives. Case in point, my '24 XL was eligible only for the $500 First Responder rebate but not for the $750 College Grad one. The other issue may be that dealers don't seem to stock very many Expeditions in general...
