Just as the post title says....cracked my driver's side tail light assembly and the cheapest replacement I see online is over $700. That is crazy, my 2016 Expy the same part was less than $100. Does this price sound right?
Broken tail light, 2019 Platinum $750???

That’s it? You’d think they could get $1,000 per light these days. They are giving them away imo.
In all seriousness here is a tail assembly for 2018 Expedition $250

Unfortunately, yes, that’s the way these high end lighting elements go these days. A Volvo headlight is $2200. Here’s a tongue-in-cheek article that discusses it:

Now that lighting is a design element and not just a blinky, flashy, shiny thing, they are vastly more expensive, especially if they integrate BLISS or something similar.

Some full glass coverage riders cover mirrors and lights as well. Is there a chance that you included that on your policy?
A lot of it is due to being a low volume auto with little to no aftermarket support being due to again, low volume. Look at how cheap the LED taillights and headlights are for the F-150 in comparison. Lots more aftermarket availability and volume to sell cheaper even via oem.

Have you checked eBay for pre-owned? I’m not well versed in 4th gen part numbers. This one looks like it may be a Limited and higher trim assembly for $395

Pro Tip: Offer the seller $350-$360, I bet you they accept rather fast

JEx, that was the one! You saved me at least $300 and I truly appreciate it! Makes me a a little less p*ssed at myself for deciding to back down my driveway in the first snow we've had in a few years. Now just a few scratches to get buffed out. Thanks again!
