2018 Expedition Reviews

[aggiegrad05]

I've noticed the same hard downshift around 3/4, and I think in very similar conditions, breaking rather hard from speed.. Only once or twice so far, but your post sounds like my experience as well.

I have also felt hard downshifting around 4/3/2 as well, but only in Sport mode. In Normal or Eco (hahaha) it is smooth as silk.

I agree with the motor trend assessment on the handling, it’s really easy to forget I’m driving such an enormous land yatch. My dad liked to point out how big it is and how crappy it must be to drive, he quit making those comments after a quick drive through some twisties in the North Ga mountains.

The ride and handling keeps getting dinged by critics. Consumer rpts put the ride as a low pt on their ltd max 301 review

They can complain all they want the reality is it’s a truck based SUV. They can make it softer sure but only if they take away capability and give “softer” which equals “weaker” springs.

The auto journalists are doing so many reviews of the new Expy, there must certainly be something to talk about (from their perspective) or we wouldn't see all these reviews! Good job Ford.

So cars.com did a comparison tests of the full sized suvs. Guess who came in first. Interesting read as they rated the trucks different then the motortrend comparo, slightly. They also rated different trims of each vehicle(except armada).

Heres a car and driver review and a comparison test for the navigator. Im startin to notice the biggest critique of the nav is its ride. About 75% reviews of the navigator say the ride is good not exemplary. Also starting to notice that the escalade is given more favor in drivability compared to the nav as well. Odd because its in stark contrast with the expy, which has almost always been given favor in terms of drivability compared to direct competitors(tahoe/suburban specifically)...on its base suspension at that. I remember reading old nav reviews in magazines and comparos. The 03 was considered too brittle, the 07 too jittery, and 15 too choppy and harsh. It seems every gen, the nav gets dinged for ride quality.I wonder why that is? I do feel at times that ford didnt put as much money and time on the suspension(esp base) as they should, but only in terms of the high std set by the previous expy and ford other vehicles. I have stated before though my expy rides better than most cars ive driven, including escalade, and the ccd models ride the best, including armada and 750li. in the past, all new expys were released with unfinished tuning(97, 03, 07, 18) then the following year or so they ride more favorably(99, 04, 09, 15). Just an observation. Im takin rose on her first road trip in 12 days so ill be writing a very thorough 6mnth review after that.

Doing my own comparison tonight comparing our ‘17 Tahoe Premier to an ‘18 Expedition Platinum my dealer gave me for a loaner while my pickup is getting a few things done. Been an interesting evening comparing the two.

KSU? Boo, Rock Chalk! Buy the expedition, trust me. I'm coming from a Hoe as well.

 

[JExpedition07]

The Tahoe exterior is better looking hands down, but the expy gets the interior fit and finish for sure.

So all those posts about them being identical twins were for not???
