Is anyone having good experiences with 22+?

is it normal to have the chrome on the door not line up in a straight line? Is this an easy fix at the dealer? I can’t unsee this now, it’s bothering me.

Way too soon to get any type of useful feedback in regards to overall reliability of a 22+ Expedition. Those singing praises at 2k, 5k, 7k, 20k, etc. are referring to what reviewers would call "initial quality." I was still loving my Ford Probe at 50k. By 80k and at only 3years old I had sold it for an 80% loss and was happy to do it.

As far as the truck itself, I love pretty much everything about it: style, interior design/comfort/amenities, ride/handling/power, driver assistance and safety features, technology, etc. etc. It's a very impressive vehicle, with a lot of very well-though-out details throughout.

As you say, at 4 mo/2,274 miles, all I can speak to at this point is my satisfaction with the truck — if it holds up well I'll be very happy....

Yes, your rear door isn't lined up correctly. A body shop should be able to adjust it. I would take it to the dealer. Curious to see what the gap between the front and rear doors looks like.

All the other doors are lined up perfectly. This is a 2023 Expedition Limited. Had major alignment issues on the hood as well which had to be adjusted but it required major body work to get perfect. I decided to just leave it be. Driver side hood gap was 1 mm gap while passenger side was 1.75 mm gap. Didn’t noticed the door not aligning until this week. Speaker cover on center console is wavy so I have a replacement part ordered. Also, large gap in the instrument cluster top left corner. Very rough ride, not very happy with the quality or experience overall.

The one constant, everyone with the base suspension and 22s say the ride is rough. Noone with the ccd has said they didn't like the ride so far that I've seen.

I have a 10+ minute ride to and from my house on a winding hilly dirt/gravel road that can get pretty bad (like it is now) when it needs to be graded (which the county doesn't do often enough), and the ride with the CCD is very impressive, and much better than the air suspension on my previous Navigators. I rented a base model '22 Expedition while my new one was in the shop and there was a huge difference on that road — very bumpy and jarring ride.

No, I am not having a positive experience. Spent my weekend dealing with a dead vehicle and ford roadside being unable to assist with a tow after stringing me along for 12 hours. Code is showing a high pressure fuel pump issue and the vehicle is unable to start. 5900 miles. Dealership said it would be weeks until they could look at it.

This is less than 30 days after it came out of the shop for repairs due to the lift gate fiasco.

I would love to have it towed to Jim Farleys home so he can use it to shuttle his family around. The guy claims to know Ford has a quality issue, but I don’t think he truly gets it or is the guy to fix it. I would be shocked if he’s around much longer.

Looks good from here, though!

I came on here to comment because I recently bought a 2023 Limited with HD Tow. In fact I ordered the SUV without HD Tow but it was required to be put on after I ordered. The suspension is very rough and my 2 year old in the back seat is getting jostled around quite a bit. The car seat is completely secured and it's shaking so much that the seat is rattling on every surface bump on the road. I'm already having major regrets buying this car.

I am having the same issue with a 22 max xlt 4x4 tow Package, NO CCD. Ford dealership drove it and said everything is in spec. Put new defender tires on it and it didn’t change anything. I have a vibration that makes me car sick and the kids voices in the back rows shake. Seems to happen at all speeds, especially on concrete city streets.

Any luck with fixing the issue or suggestions? I’m contemplating a suspension upgrade if that solves the issue.
