2018 Expedition Reviews

[gtnator]

I routinely watch this guy's videos (sorry if you're not a fan).

I haven't watched this one yet, so I guess we can all find out together if he likes it or not.

I love this review. I think I’ve watched it 10 times already.

A decent review. One thing that was interesting to me in this review is how well the Navigator did in two feet of unplowed snow with just its standard all season tires.

Yep, these Expeditions and Navigatirs have always had the bomb of 4WD systems, works great.

Also I don’t understand why reviewers are complaining about ride quality and interior in the Expedition. The interior looks fine and if it rides like our 3rd gens then it rides darn good for an suv

I've heard that the GM products do not perform as well in the snow, especially with OEM all season tires. Have you heard the same?

Idk they are both pretty good. GM has an auto rear locker on the new ones which is helpful, but I’d say overall the ford system works a bit better with the braking bias method front and rear, the ford acts like it’s got front and rear limited slips.

This truck is Bad To The Bone!!! Rides and handles incredibly. I don’t know how you could get much better than this in a full-size SUV. I have driven 17 Denali and to be honest it pales in comparison. The transmission is spot on. The seats are incredible. As to the guy with headroom issues of the second row I’m not quite sure if there is a difference between the platinum second row seats and the limited but I am 6’6" and can absolutely sit fully upright and have about 2 inches above my head so a 6 footer should be perfectly fine. I did not climb into the third row but my daughters two friends did and said there was plenty of room and that it was comfortable. The sound system is fantastic, the sunroof is awesome. The all-wheel-drive works great and it runs like a bat out of hell. Those who are pining for a V-8 give it a try. It is very impressive. I would love to see the platinum run against the Denali and the navigator run against the Cadillac. As stated, I have driven a 17 Denali and it didn’t seem like it had the same grunt. Granted it is a friends truck so I didn’t get on it like a did the expedition today but it sure didn’t seem as strong. I am very happy!!!!!

It’s not about how fast it is, the V6 just doesn’t have the grunt or experience of the V8, just as fast or not. That’s my take and I’ve driven both..... and yes hammered down on both. Don’t let me be a party pooper though the new Fords with the Ecoboost really get up and go, good powertrain. Glad you like your new truck take care of her, looks very nice!
