Good points for sure. But there is no better alternative IMO. For this size and class of vehicle, this kind of power and torque, fuel economy etc the answer still came back as Expedition. I guess I need to consider the extended warranty.
So much truth here. I've said it time and time again to people who bust my chops for having a twin turbo v6, I'd rather repair a turbo at 90k miles and have the power/fuel economy associated with the EB than go back to a "reliable" V8. I put reliable in quotes because even so many of these fuel management systems on V8s now are failing (look at GM DOD).
Perhaps I'd be singing a different tune if my vehicle had been in for warranty repair work once every 3-6 months since purchasing new, but this is without a doubt the best vehicle I've ever owned (out of about 30 or so LOL).
Mine is going to the dealer in a week for:
Door panel defect (a little dimple where I rest my elbow, may or may not do anything with it).
Front center speaker under the windshield appears to be blown out.
A bolt fell out of my passenger side retractable step and I have no clue where it goes LOL.
Rear passenger window express up stopped 3/4 of the way up and went back down (only happened twice in 18 months).
MAJOR ticking when cold start for 60-90 seconds then goes away, does not do at operating temp.
Purchase date of July 2019 with 27k miles.
