I'm sorry for not reading everyone's thread but here's my $.02... Anyone who says this looks exactly like the Explorer is missing something. Look at the Explorer, Expedition and the 2018 F-150 side by side (well, the front). There is more F-150 in there than anything. Now to the rear, I'll concede its hideous and looks like they gave up and just brought over the Explorer tail light design, which doesn't fit. Side profile looks like a woody wagon now, where as before it had a nice square off too it. Liked the new one at first but now giving it a second thought.. I love my 09 very much but need a new one in about 20k miles... Like to get rid of them at the 300k mark lol. Driven a 2016 ecoboost as a loaner- and HATE that I love it. Gas mileage comparatively speaking was drastically better with an ecoboost EL compared to my regular length V8. Being a realtor and firefighter, I tend to drive a lot. At the station all our chiefs vehicles are Tahoe's - my chiefs wont buy SSV Expeditions as we are a GM city and everyone hates Fords here... except me and the surrounding suburbs which only have Ford interceptors (ex's and Taurs). I will seriously miss the shifter as it is basically a hand instead of arm rest- and actually prefer a column shift like GM does. Finally, hope Ford has come up with better protection for the power running boards... ok now im done.
