I have a 17 XLT expedition that was either a fleet or rental. It's been good. I knew what was in it when i bought it. No complaints but do find this amusing:
Today at a stop light waiting to turn left. There are 2 econo cars in front of me. A mazda 3 and a 4 door scion both have turn signal indicators in their side view mirrors. My bus doesn't. Did Ford simply cheap out? Why do I have a sunroof but only one auto down button out of 4? Is it really that much more expensive to make all 4 (on the driver's door) be auto? Why auto headlights but manual AC. Why did my last job provided Nissan NV200 econo (1/3 the size of an expedition) van have a larger reverse screen and 2 auto down and up window buttons? At least the Expy has the same tiny mirror within the side view mirror as the NV200 that is a substitute for blind spot monitoring. A recent low end model Prius rental had all 4 window buttons auto and auto climate control? Thank goodness it didn't have a side mirror turn signal led LOL.
I know Ford just wants to push buyers into higher trim models but having less features than $20k cars? Even though Ford make $10 - $15K in profit on each one and this one had a MSRP greater than $50K.
As I get older my mind tends to wander.
