2017 - 100k mile report

[plumcolr]

2017, 5 1/2 years.
Oil changes about every 5k (15-20% remaining)
2 sets wipers incl rear
2 sets brakes incl rotors
3 air filters.
Actual MPG 20.5 indicated, 19.3 miles/gallons pumped over the 100k miles
1 rh running board (turned into a stump)
Front power port rewired to support dash cam
Plugs changed @ 97k miles
Small weep hole drilled intercooler
1 taillight bulb
driving mostly suburban / rural, occasional interstate
approx 2k miles towing 6000 lb trailer.
No complaints. Well, the front seat headrests. I like to sit very straight, the headrests hold my head too far forward to do that.
I have driven over a million miles, through 8 vehicles. This one has been as near flawless as I could possibly have hoped for. Very quiet, very smooth, great power when needed. Always drive in 2H except offroad, Used 4L once, to pull a F350 out of mud. As you can tell from MPG, not an aggressive driver. Winter mileage about 1-1/2 mpg less than summer.
Not bragging, celebrating.
Watch it all turn to merde now.

Sounds like your happy with it!

Very. Been excellent for me. My '06 was no slouch, either despite the abuse of the previous owner.

 

[Boostedbus]

Glad to hear! Is your 17 an XLT and is it a shorty or an EL.

 

[plumcolr]

very basic xlt, a shorty. My wife is the one that likes driving a small ranch style house. I prefer something more - - nimble.

 

[Y2KFirehawk]

Appreciate you sharing! Going on six years of ownership of our 2016 but around 60k miles. (Wife's daily)

 

[BogueSound]

I'm jealous. We have a 2016 XLT my wife drives around town and we road trip 3hrs to the inlaws. No towing. She isn't aggressive on the gas or the brakes.
101k miles.
I had to replace a blend door actuator in the back AC at around 55k.
The backup camera works 20% of the time since about 70k.
The driver side rear shock has felt like a pogo stick over speed bumps since about 40k.
Feels like passenger side has joined it in the past 10k.
A couple years ago I had what I thought was the infamous turbo coolant leak out of the passenger side that went away after a few weeks
Now I've got a definite coolant leak out of what seems like the water pump area that started a month or so ago.

Unless we come into dummy money or the quality of their vehicles DRASTICALLY improves, this will be the last Ford I ever own.

I feel the need to add my backstory to solidify others! Primarily city travel with some road trips. Light (utility) towing at best.

* 27k both rear shocks replaced (under warranty) as I noticed moisture on both
* 32k rear passenger side shock replaced, again
* 37k noticed paint corrosion on hood front lip, liftgate bottom lip. Ford repaired/repainted under corrosion warranty claim.
* 49k replaced rear HVAC blend door actuator
* 50k replaced all brake pads
* 52k replaced stock tires

Nice! My 2017 and 2016 have been flawless as well. I do have failing paint on my roof that needs to be addressed. Really like the engine in this truck, it’s a lot of fun to drive. I’m a bit surprised at the depreciation vs a Chevy suburban. They seem cheaper to buy vs a same year gm truck. I’ll never own a gm truck again due to problems with that 5.3 motor.

 

[plumcolr]

GM: Also persistent A/C problems, most models. Faulty evaporators and condensers, faulty routing of lines, etc. I hope they've gotten better. Also dealer service that I have dealt with is terrible for anything more complicated than an oil change. Your experience may vary.

By 100k I had replaced the front center actuator and by 150k the one at the bottom the center stack had failed as well. My backup cam works, but cold, wet weather usually causes it to fail sporadically. I replaced 3 rear shocks in 110k. Bilsteins on there now. I had numerous coolant leaks by 100k at the usual hoses on the passenger side. Water pump gave up the ghost around 150k. I've had a myriad of other problems as well that would leave me hesitant to get another Ford unless I got a steal on it. It hasn't been a terrible vehicle, but it hasn't lived up to my expectations either.

We bought the Expedition because it was the best value of towing ability and comfort. Plus my wife was sick of minivans (3 in a row) and had long wanted an Expy.
I expected a few minor problems because…it’s a Ford…however the turbo coolant leak is appalling in terms of repair cost from a mechanic. The MPG is 13.5 around town with all terrain tires - 20 on the freeway. 98,000 miles.
Replaced rotors & pads, HVAC condenser and harness, blow off valve, satellite antenna, bent the exhaust heat shield to stop it from rattling.

Whenever we sell the trailer-I’ll dump this beast and get an economical SUV.

The power of the engine, despite the above, sure is fun!

You put a smile on my face. My 2017 Limited (bought w/51k) now has 87k and is my daily. You and I are about mirror images in maintenance, driving style, etc. except I haven't replaced brakes or rotors yet. Soon though, now that I tow a 5500lb Keystone every so often, I anticipate the time is coming. Honestly couldn't be happier with this truck for a whole host of reasons.

My previous daily was a little Escape suv that lasted 11 years without a problem until one of the CC's broke. And it STILL passed emissions inspection.

I will always own a Ford.

Have the '16 EL XLT. Have the std package (no HD tow), cloth seats, RWD, smaller sync screen, just about as basic as it gets with about 130k miles (bought it with about 43k from a Ford dealer). The only real issue I've had with the thing was after 115k miles the APIM went out. That was a pricey replacement. Had the 100k service at about 120k-ish, oops. The #3 piston plug got a small crack that caused some weird stuff on a road trip, but the car survived the trip home (just couldn't romp on the throttle to pass someone, sad day) and Ford replaced the bad plug for free.
I've hauled a car load of stuff, literally not one free square inch of space, plus a roof bag, all the way from the hellscape west coast to TN without a problem. My wife even slid off the road in Gallup, we just backed over our tracks and got back on the road. Its kept my family safe and I've hauled a bunch of stuff in it and a bunch of people, I'd for sure buy another one. Assuming I can afford it, these things are getting crazy expensive.

20 MPG, WOW!! I'm very easy on my '17 Expedition and I'm lucky to get just under 16 MPG..

 

[plumcolr]

@losttime1, might be dependent on roads, terrain, traffic you drive in, etc. I get 17-18 while pulling an open car trailer with a car on it. Terrain around here couldn't get much flatter.
Son has borrowed a couple of times for 100+ mile round trips, mostly freeway. He only gets around 18.
