Case in point. Another non owner dogging a newer Expedition. *shaking head. This forum contains about 5% helpful info and the balance is a bit of a waste of server hard drive space in my opinion.
In other news, Motor Trend tested 5 of the full size suvs out there and the Expedition (4th gen) came in first place. I’m a former exclusive Toyota owner who has put 300,000 miles on my last three Toyota’s so I’m sad to say the Sequoia came in dead last. Funny how guys who know a thing or two about vehicles and have driven everything from Rolls Royce’s to G Wagons and everything in between find an Ecoboost Expedition with tons of bells and whistles, a superior truck to the rest of them out there. Once again, this is my very first foray into Fords, so I’m pretty unbiased. But the ecoboost hating is just silly.

I'm a quality fan & the 3 Toyota trucks I have owned with the lowest mileage one being 125,000 when I sold it, has it down. Zero non maintenance repairs on all 3. At this time I couldn't afford another Sequoia. Even coming in last place they really are expensive used because people want them. Toyota seems to like to keep a good thing going rather than redesign often.
Jeep GC, Nissan Armada & Ford Expeditions all were at the lower tier of used SUV pricing while I was shopping around. I got a 17 with less than 30,000 miles on it (lower trim level) for what I would have paid for a 3-4 year old Sequoia with similar trim with 80.000 or more miles on it. There is a reason for that.
I bought a used 17 Expy XLT EL that was either a rental or fleet vehicle & because of the issues a friend of mine is having on his 2016 F-150, I bought an extended warranty. I would like to tell people that the quality of Ford equals Toyota, we will see. So far so good. I'm impressed with how it drives, the power & gas mileage. I getting nearly 4mpg more than the Sequoia in similar driving. No warning lights going over bumps either. It's actually fairly quiet.
If I have many issues with the Expy, I'll pay the premium on the used market and go back to Toyota. If Toyota takes a down turn, then onto whatever is rated best.
Exactly my sentiment. Very on point. But I’m sure someone here will flame us for promoting Toyota reliability. After spending a decent about of time on this forum and formerly on a Land Cruiser forum before I sold my 100 series I’m beginning to realize that there is a bit of a fundamental difference in life attitude between the majority of Land Cruiser owners and some Expedition owners. So much immaturity displayed here. [emoji53]

Built in Indiana, sold exclusively in USA and Canada. Pretty darn American truck. Possibly engineered in Japan, I guess. But ownership of Toyota is worldwide as is every other major car manufacturer. There is not hardly such a thing as a foreign vehicle in the global economy, if you think about it.
Just a thought I had.
