    MPG

    This is exactly correct. I know my full size SUV isnt' going to be good on gas. But when i compared my 17 tahoe to the expy (which is what i wanted), MPG did become a concern. I get 24 on the hwy with my Tahoe. That's about 4 mpg more than the expy. I use my SUV to drive to my cabin on weekends...

    Decisions (GM vs Ford)

    I own a Tahoe and did look at the new Expy before ordering. I have no emotion either way and can hopefully be unbiased as they come. Both good SUV's. I ended up with a 2017 Tahoe Premier (brand new) because it was CHEAPER and looked WAY better. The 5.3 v8 is solid, and i think by now the Eco is...

    Self Levelling? Platinum with tow package.

    There is a video from FORD of all people pitting the new Expy against the suburban. The Expy is squatting like crazy with the trailer hooked up. This was one of a few reasons why i bought my tahoe instead of the new expy.

    Navigator 2018 North American Truck of the Year

    I am sure its a nice SUV, but most people couldn't afford it. Hell, the expy is around 77k for the platnum.

    '18 Expedition Platinum vs '18 Yukon Denali

    The Armada is a nice truck. I looked at those as well when i bought new in 2017. The only thing i didn't like was the gas mileage. MPG matters to me. Its our travel truck for weekends north at our cabin. In the summer i saw as high as 24 mpg on our tahoe doing 63 in a 55. Goes down a bit in the...

    2018 spotted

    IMO the GM SUV looks light years better. I was one that was going to wait for the Expy, but once i saw it i bought a Tahoe Premier. Not that its ugly, just not as nice looking as the Tahoe. I also tow, and i can't stand the squatting with the Expy. The tahoe i have pumps up the rear shocks and...

    Whoever designed the wheels needs to be fired. Just ruins the entire truck.

    Expy Ordered

    my 2010 Sequioa got 18 on the hwy. That was a V8. I did see 19 during the summer when taking it easy. That's why i am so impressed with 24.7 mpg going 63 in a 55. It does go down to 23.1 going 80 mph. But that still pretty good for a full size SUV. Again, wish the Ford got close. I always picked...

    Expy Ordered

    Don't think the expy has better MPG, getting 24 with my tahoe on the highway. I was hoping the expy would get better as i wanted to order one since mpg is something i really need to improve on (drive 10000's of miles per year). But everyone i know with a 2017 f150 or newer isn't getting close to...

    2018 Expy - Official Gas Mileage Released

    And i would bet more than half these people don't need a truck, they need a van. Either way, just my opinion. I do live where 4x4 is a necessity, but i don't think i would buy a truck without it even if i lived in Mexico.

    2018 Expy - Official Gas Mileage Released

    But really, why buy a truck or large SUV with 2wd? I understand some don't need it, but why not have it. Even for launching a boat or something on a steep ramp. 4x2 doesn't interest me in the least.

    18 Expy/Navi Est. Gas Mileage Figures

    I don't think this is all the bad, however, IMO it should be better. Its a V6 and they have the technology to make it better. My 2017 Tahoe gets 23.7 on the highway at 70 mph. If i go down to 65 i can get over 24 mpg with the 5.3l V8

    i could have sworn in one of the videos on the 2018 the ford rep said pricing will remain relatively the same. I guess that was a huge lie.

    Expedition (Ford) Quality Question

    I was seriously considering a 2018 expy mainly because the 17 was unattractive to me and was mostly a "truck" and not a luxury SUV. I ended up going with a 2017 Tahoe Premier. So far in 7000 miles its been trouble free except for a bad rear Bose speaker right off the lot. We'll see how well it...

    Has anyone used the Ford X-plan on their 2018 order or any previous purchase?

    some times the rebates are higher that using the xplan.

    2018 Expedition Order Guide

    you ain't kidding.. As a mastercraft owner, i can't believe the new tow boats are well over 100k for a semi optioned boat. And then you have to have a truck or SUV to tow it. $200k into a boat and truck.. unreal.

    New big V8 coming (?) Will it be available in the Expedition ?

    I have read about problems with the eco b over time of ownership and have yet to run into anyone who has had problems. I like the idea and the motor certainly makes HP and Torque. I almost bought a 2017 expy but ended up with a Tahoe Premier. The main point for me was the eco didn't get the...

    Really struggling...

    i am not seeing 20 in the city with my new tahoe. i am seeing 18.3 approx if i drive easy. Again the mileage on the hwy is impressive. i have seen up to 24 mpg. Like i said before, if this truck turns out to be a POS, trade it for the new ford expy or toyota (if they ever upgrade the sequioa). I...

    Really struggling...

    20 is great on any SUV, but with the tahoe in the city, i am getting 20. Highway yesterday at 77 mph i got 23.4. Not to shabby.

    Really struggling...

    it was also the MPG think. i know the eco is pretty good, but general hwy is 20. I get 19 with my sequioa. With the tahoe i have clocked 24.6 so far. We drive up north every weekend just about to our cabin. if i do the math, this is a good savings in gas. i think ford can do way better on mpg...

    Really struggling...

    i swore off GM too back in the 90's and was really against the bailout myself. I just wish the expy would have competed better with the product thou. There is such a difference between the two vehicles. It was worth 10k IMO. They are kind of night and day at least to me. I started out with the...

    Really struggling...

    And i figure, if the Tahoe is junk, i can always trade in the warranty period for a new 2019 Expy after any bugs are worked out. One thing i noticed was the Chevy for whatever reason has a much higher residual value. No more LTZ, its the LT and the premier.
