I deleted it because it was a long post... Andy those sales figures you post mean nothing to this conversation that's including all powertrains. I'll repost it I hammered down against a new expy out of the tolls at 20mph because he was trying to fly past me threw the EZpass lane to the left of me to cut me out... there was barely any difference in speed at all and I won because I maintained a straight line and he had to hit the breaks where it reduces to two lanes... he didn't have the speed to overtake me and flipped out when he lost and told me I was number one with his finger. He may have been faster over a long haul but from 20-80 mph he couldn't pass me and he had a long run to do it, and oh how much he tried to no success. 0-60 on 07 is 7.5 seconds the new one is 6.5 seconds that's not two seconds FYI. That 6.2 is now available in the Tahoe RST btw sick looking truck... the difference there is that powertrain will have double or triple the life of ecoboost. I have never heard anyone down talk the 5.0 coyote everyone says how great it is.
2007 Ford Expedition Limited EL 4X4 0-60 mph 8.9 | Quarter mile 16.6 - Motor Week actually has it at 9.1
2015 Ford Expedition EL 4X4 0-60 mph 6.5 | Quarter mile 15.1 -
2.4 Seconds...Sorry. I can find no documented instrument test from any of the many that publish that puts the 2007 Expedition EL ANYWHERE near 8.0, yet 7.5, regardless of EL, No EL, 4x2 or 4x4.
I still promise you, a 15+ would walk away from you with ease from a stop. Add a couple thousand pounds to the bumper, and it would be like you were standing still because the Peak torque is low and flat on the 3.5EB.
I HAVE NEVER said the 5.0 was a bad motor.

Huh, so just because it has a turbo it won't last as long? You do realize that all over the road trucks have Turbos? Some have Millions of miles. Adding a Turbo does not mean it won't last long. There are MANY other factors. Modern turbos and engine management remove A LOT of the shortcomings from 20/30 years ago. These are NOT your grandfathers turbo motors.
I am done with this conversation...it is beating a dead horse. I drive one, and love it. Loved it so much, that my DD is a 2016 Edge Sport with the 2.7EB. It is a rocket!
