2018+ Post Pictures Thread!- Lets see those shiny new trucks!

True but they still sound great. I wish Expedition could pump out a V8 sound to the outside exhaust instead to the inside, lol.

The V-6 sound does take a little to get use to, but I’m fine with it. The 6.2L is an absolute beast, but this one does have more instant grunt. Absolutely NO complaints. The power the truck delivers makes it feel lighter to drive.

6.2s have nothing on our ecoboosts. I’ve proven that plenty of times lol

0-60 times between the Denali and the platinum are identical.

And the 6.2 sounds great

Interesting bc I’ve smoked plenty of them from a dead stop in my wife’s 2016 with the 6.2 driver acknowledging the opportunity to do a run.

Then they were Messing with you.

Or don’t know how to use the gas pedal.

@carymccarr TFL did two separate videos for ecoboost and Denali. 2017 Denali ran a 8.49 2015 ecoboost platinum EL ran an 8.3. This is real world testing so obviously wherever you got your info from is either wrong or you just read it off a car and driver review online. I’d be happy to post the videos of their tests for you if you’d like.

And even tuned and on 35s I still smoke 6.2s daily

Nope, they even said they had pedal to the floor. Sorry

@carymccarr here you go just bc I’m going to enjoy proving you wrong

Just asking - are we talking stock vs. stock?

Yeah they are both stock in the videos and my wife’s 2016 is stock.

 

[16plati]

And y’alls 4th gens are even faster than 15-17s. No comparison

..I'm beginning to understand why you have your own special thread.

It's important to note that TFL does all their runs at elevation which clearly favor the Ecoboost, runs at sea level will most certainly differ.

Appears you’re right. At elevation the expy is .19 seconds faster than the Denali. [emoji23]

Still sounds like a kitchen appliance though lol

.19 is .19.

With the factory tune in the Plati a tiny bit stronger [emoji41]

Yeah and then 5 star tunes it with e50 and it pushes 564 American horses out of it!

I won't be doing that.
I had my fun with a mid-90s Chevy truck (Vortec 5.7L) that I did lots of mods and upgrades to. It was a blast, outperforming most of the local talent in stoplight to stoplight drags or even at the Friday street night at the drag strip. And that was on 35" mud tires. I learned my lesson about "there's always a weak link that will show itself when horsepower increases".
Many $$$$ repairing busted parts and upgrading things until I decided it was fast enough and then its brakes were problematic. I swear I lost a fortune to the HP gods on that truck.

 

[Deadman]

There's definitely a balance between reliability and power. I'm trying to find that balance but waiting on my warranty to pass a little further!

 

[GC2019]

Our 19’ Plat has more useable torque than our 15’ Yukon Denali. Its more fun to drive. It’s a little unsure when shifting, but so was the Denali 8 speed.
Love this truck. Yeah, it does sound like a hair dryer, but it’s my wife’s truck and she doesn’t even notice things like that...
