Do you ever feel the Expedition is too big for daily use? Ever wish you had a midsize SUV like an Audi Q7?
I’m on the fence between those two. We have three kids and our other vehicle is a 2020 Highlander which is borderline okay for road trips with everyone and everything.
Would appreciate your thoughts!
Current semi daily driver: 2010 Ford Explorer
Dimensions:
193″ L x 74″ W x 72″ H
2022 Ford Expedition (standard length)
210″ L x 80″ W x 76″ H
Difference in dimensions
17"L x 6" W x 4" H quite frankly, it will take me 5 minutes to feel right at home in the new Expedition, as I adapt quickly.
In the bigger (no pun intended) scheme of daily or semi daily driver life, not an issue.
The benefits for me at least, I stay within 1-2mpg (Expedition spec'd to get 1-2mpg better than the Explorer), but go from a 5,500lb towing capacity to a 9,300 lb towing capacity. With my projected max towing weight of 5,400lbs, I've got plenty of safety room to spare where my limited towing using the Explorer made me feel on the ragged edge of that safety bubble.
