Me too- picked up 8/27 and had to quickly put 1K miles so I could tow our 21 Escape trailer. OMG- coming from a 2013 Yukon 5.3 what an insane difference!! Got the HD trailer package and love the integrated brake controller and 302A. We're at Rocky Mountain NP and the tow for 4300 lbs. is truly effortless and extremely quiet and comfortable. Did I say I love this SUV?

We just picked up a blue/ceramic 19’ Platinum.
We’re coming from a 15’ Yukon Denali.
NOTHING negative to say about the Denali, the 6.2L was a monster. We like to flip flop between brands to keep it fresh, and I was hopeful the Eco would run with the same authority. Well, it certainly does.
My wife was torn between downsizing to a sportier Nautilus or staying with a large SUV. We normally order, but while waiting for my daughter’s delayed flight arrival, we went car shopping to burn a couple of hours. I’m a Ford Super Duty guy so we stopped at a Ford store. Drove a 2020 Explorer Plat which we almost bought on the spot, but I suggested taking this one out for a quick spin. My wife sat in it and said wow, I like it..“who am I kidding with downsizing, this is it”..

The single positive that immediately stuck out was the second and third seat room. The GM was tighter in the second and the live axle makes the floor high in the third.
Also, I was highly impressed with the Magnetic Ride of the Denali when it was new, so while the Expedition is being immediately compared to a 4 year old ride, the ride quality is absolute night and day.

MRC is complete garbage (except in the Escalade where you can change settings) IMO.
