2023 Expedition Limited Max Stealth Edition or Platinium Max

[acars]

Im a speed freak and have been for over 50 years. The Stealth Performance package was a no brainer…..so I got a platinum! I hate black interiors which is all you can get with stealth. And Im a pushover for really nice interiors and luxury features the Platinum has.

The torque and HP of the Platinum is very impressive. We towed a 34’ travel trailer a total of 1500 miles recently and lot of it in very hilly terrain. It never lost any speed going up even fairly long and steep grades.

If you like the looks inside and out of the Stealth, then it really is a no brainer. But for what these things cost I wanted to feel like I spent $85,000.

FWIT, The weight distrubuting hitch was not properly set up by my dealer. After this picture i did it myself and it sits better now.

Hi!
I've been driving fast cars for 8 years now, but I'm getting old (36) and I want a more comfortable ride than a faster one.

Thank you for the towing advice. I don't expect to tow anything that big in the near future, but I'm glad I can.

That looks awesome!

I love the Carmelo interior in my Platinum.

Hi!
They don't have this color but the leather quality is so much better than the limited edition.

Nice Color! Congrats!

OP: Check payload and HD Tow if you're planning on towing.

Thank you for the advice.

I think op meant not at his dealer. If ur not in a hurry, I'd order one, the dealer makes negotiating on ordered trucks worth it

I love how we all have different likes and dislikes. My Son loves anything Stealth. The blacked out the better. I love speed mixed with total luxury. I also love Bling. So, I'm more of a shiny chrome and plush guy.
I'd take a Platinum any day over a Stealth or a Limited. Even though you can get pretty much every feature on the Limited, the interior on the Platinum alone is a deal breaker.

I have exactly the same situation now. Hard to choose from these two. very similar price total different style.
But feels like Platinum's exclusive equipment is more about advanced technology over everyday use (massage chair, self-driving etc.).
Would like to know if the stealth performance is that much different in steering and accelerating.
