Apparently the 2021 suburban with air springs cant meet the expy ride either. Alot of journalists are split in the ride and handling but general consensus is it drives well and better than before but not the leap hoped for or promised. Ford should be able to do better with minimal effort.

Struggled to pull its own weight??? Okay

This guy seemed fair and made some good points, but ...

Yeah, I about spit my coffee out with that one. This was the only review I have ever seen that calls the Expy out for being "underpowered".

 

[Deadman]

Wow that guys a mess. I can't follow which vehicle is he usually talking about! lol

That review is just painful to watch, and multiple things incorrect. I can’t wait for a different review to compare. Maybe Redline Reviews and we can hear about the doors shutting haha

That’s funny to hear him say the Expedition is “struggling under its own weight”. The 6.2 is definitely more exciting to me if you are on the hammer a lot because of that growl and hard pull in the upper revs.....but come on. The EcoBoost ain’t struggling to pull the weight anywhere LOL, even at low speed.

After buying our 19 Max Platinum and seeing all the hype about the new GM stuff I was hoping I wouldn’t have buyers remorse. Seems I have no worries there. While I like the sound of a V8 (especially with a Corsa exhaust) over a 6 it sounds like the GM’s are slugs. While these aren’t race cars I would rather have more power and quickness than less. While the 6.2 is more powerful on paper it doesn’t seem to translate to forward thrust.

I didn’t really see anything in the various videos that made me wish I had a GM instead. Even the air suspension. My Grand Cherokee had it and I never really used it or thought it rode any better than anything else. It was nice when I did oil changes, I just raised the whole vehicle!

anyone notice to open the glass there was no handle? Have to touch the glass itself. Looks sleek, but...meh.

shifter is dumb. Location of drive modes is dumb. It also didn’t look like it actually had more room in the 3rd row. I can sit in the back of our Max comfortably and I’m 6’4”.

I read a review that getting to the camera is buried in a touch screen menu somewhere too. No thanks! Dedicated button like Ford has is much more convenient.

I’m still happy with our purchase. Now when the Grand Wagoneer is out I may not be so happy...we’ll see!

That's 'cause the 2nd row seat positions are still fixed. I bet when you sat in the back of your Max, you slid the 2nd row forward a little... (The careful reader will note that this is where looking at specs on a piece of paper can be a little misleading. Because the 3rd row legroom number doesn't account for the fact that the Ford's changes based on 2nd row seat position, while the GM's is fixed.) I'm also shocked that GM kept the folding 2nd row which does not allow access to the 3rd row with carseats/booster seats installed in the 2nd row.

The second row slides in the new generation. But I agree about the folding mechanism. The tip and slide feature in the Expedition is great with car seats in place.
