I need to do a post about my experience with the expedition as family hauler,our recent road trip, and thoughts compared to the Denali.

Pictures of 3rd row access with bench. Access with car seat installed via latch, and weather tech 3rd row mat

Yes, PLEASE do this. Lot's of people here compare the Expy to the Denali and wonder the same thing. Sharing your experiences would be helpful

Man those are awesome pics! I currently have a Sienna with a mixture of Britax car seats and am wondering if it'll feel like much of a space upgrade, or still feel pretty cramped with all of the car seats (I have 4 kids, but might end up with 5 in a year or so). Are all of your kids in the 3rd row using harnesses or are some using them in booster mode with the seat belts? Just wondering if they could reach the seat belt buckle being that tight together with the 3 across. I'd love to hear your experience as well!

All of them are using the harness. My eight year old daughter only weighs 46lbs. When it comes time for her to use a booster, I’ll move her to the 2nd row and move my 2-year old to the back.

These seats have hip bolsters that can move which might allow access to the seatbelt.

We took a 1500 mile road trip recently and had plenty of space. I will say BOB strollers take up a ton of space. We rarely bring our double BOB because it takes up too much space.

Wow eye candy is right. Love these beauties. I am still searching for a low mile 17 in Ruby red. Here’s a question for everyone. The dealer tells me that red ones cost more used or new. What’s your take on that? Is it true?

The red is a $370 option on the Max (white platinum is $555). Those are the only extra-cost colors.

Ugh.... ran up on the dang curb today while picking my mother-in-law up at the airport. First blood has been drawn. Gotta get this fixed, anyone on here have wheels repaired before?

I curbed mine last night. Went by Discount Tire this morning to check on the divot I took out of the tire (no problem, just cosmetic) and asked about repairing the wheel. He said they do have someone they can send wheels out to for repair. It takes a day to turn around, costs about $130, and they resurface the whole wheel so it blends the repaired area nicely. I'm going to wait and see how much the damage bothers me after a month or so, but wanted to share that there are national (and reputable) chains that offer repairs like this (aka you don't have to trust your wheels to "Bob's AA11 Wheel Repair" if you don't want to).

I might look into those Weathertech mats. I have 4 and it looks like they'd be a great thing.

Ah, good to know. I notice mine often but it doesn’t hurt as much anymore. When I get my first service I’m gonna ask the dealer if they know someone who can repair it. I’m not as upset anymore but it’s still the only ding on the vehicle but 6 months in I’d say that’s not so bad.

I told my wife I’d wait a month and see how I felt about it then...if I care less at that point, I may save my money for something else.
