Nice! Need to get my front windows tinted. What percentage tint did you go with?

I've had the 5100's and now the Fox 2.0's can't make up my mind! After I get back from this trip I may bite the bullet on the Icons.

Did you put a lift or leveling kit on this? It seems like you must have based on the tire size but I can't tell for sure. It looks good!

After having my truck a few years, my wife finally talked me into upgrading her explorer. Can’t say I’m disappointed in the decision though!

New guy here. Picked up my ride last Monday coming from a 2017 F150 Limited. So far I like it. Got paint protection done as well as front window tint

Howdy Yall! I'm new round these parts. I just wanted to show off my gals Christmas present. It's a 2019 limited max black with 301A pkg, Texas Edition with other fancy stuff panoramic sun roof and bucket seats for our little rascals. Partners I hope it lasts as long and without problems as what it replaced a Honda Pilot. Time will tell.

Nice looking ride Joe!
As a longtime Honda owner, I can comfortably say, no. LOL. Unfortunately, not much out there can compare to the amazing reliability of the Honda’s I’ve owned.
I think people that have only owned domestic makes, or Euro brands, really can’t grasp just how reliable and forgiving they are.
I had a 95 5-speed Civic EX coupe (with every bell and whistle offered) for over 20 years. At 245,000 miles my wife finally had enough of the eyesore sitting in the driveway (paint was faded). So I sold it. It was my back and forth to work car.
It still had the original clutch in it.
And still got 34 mpg.
I changed the oil mostly regularly. New filter about every other oil change. And did my own timing belt replacement every 90,000 miles as a preventative maintenance per the manufacturer.
When I sold it everything still worked like it was 2 years old. I mean everything. The A/C. Power roof (and never leaked), power windows, ABS brakes. Every switch, knob, dash light, handle . etc.. original shocks and it still handled great and had no rattles or squeaks.
Literally the only thing I ever replaced on it were normal wear items like brakes, tires and batteries. And one alternator-but that had more to do with the 600 watt sound system I added. LOL.
I still regret selling it. But I think it was either the car—or my wife!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving the new EXPY! It is amazing! But I knew what I was getting into, and purchased an extended warranty knowing full well I would need it.

I have a 2002 Honda Civic LX with only 80,000 miles sitting in my driveway. Needs all new shocks and struts to make it road worthy. It was my wife's commuter car (4-6 miles round trip daily) before we upgraded her to a brand new 2017 Honda CR-V (which by the way just broke 3000 miles. LOL!!!)

Glad to see see Honda owners in here. Ours too was a 2011 Honda Pilot 4x4 Touring. The only thing I did to it was oil, brakes, batteries, tires flushing fluids that's about it. It had 145k, we went back and forth waiting for Honda or Toyota to come with a nice suv finally gave up after seeing the new highlander and never updating sequoia. And trust me, I tried to get the wife to like the new black edition pilot but there is just no comparison when it comes to the style, size and comfort the expy gives you. A lot folks like Ford so we decided to give a try, but hey we got the extended warranty just in case too. ;-)
Yep, once I drove a few Expy’s with the CCD, I was sold.
I too was waiting on an all new Sequoia, that never came.
Plus I had good experience with my F150. In 18 years it only needed a few coil-on-plugs, an alternator and a fuel pump. That’s not bad for a domestic.
Err, and upper / lower control arms, tie rod ends—forgot about that. lol
Now it had it’s share of trim pieces broken, leaking sunroof (which caused water in the dash—hello possessed electronics that operate on their own!), seats coming apart , etc..
But, overall I was happy with the truck, so I decided to give Ford a shot.

So long as you can live with the price and the payload, I don't think there's a nicer SUV than the Land Cruiser.

Looked at the landcruiser but the wife thought it was antiquated and the back cargo was small. Tried to sell her on that one too for sure but no dice. Expy won out.
Same.
I hunted for LandCruisers for months!
Drove at least six different ones.
That has always been a dream vehicle for me. And once I get to a point in my life where I’m not driving around kids and grandparents, I will have one.
The only thing that will survive a nuclear Armageddon is the cockroach and a LandCruiser.
They are over-engineered beyond belief and unstoppable.
Unfortunately, the room and comfort in the second row is not great for anything beyond local driving, the third row is small kids only—and only for short trips. Interior cargo space is tiny.
Couple that with tech that lags behind the rest of the industry by ten years, and it makes it difficult to swallow that price tag.
But I love that truck!!

You and me both. My plan is to drive the Expedition until the last kid is done with her undergrad and then buy a Land Cruiser which I'll have until I die.
We may look at them after ours are out of car seats/boosters or whatever is after car seats... that may put us around 2024. We really want something we can pull our overland trailer with deep into the middle of no where and not be worried about something tech related on our Navigator stranding us which, by then, will be 6 years old, over 100k, and out of extended warranty.
