My Expedition got a twin!

[Deadman]

Must have a big wife to require an 8-passenger vehicle all to herself.

We haul deceased for a living.

 

[Deadman]

Congratulations! How was the drag race home from the dealership???

wife's too careful to get her to drag race, I had every thought of it tho! lol

 

[Deadman]

I must say two XL versions are pretty much pointless to own, would’ve been better off buyin a pickup for himself .

@Deadman
How many kids do you have? Hopefully at least 2??

Amazing how you know my life better than I do. I'll consult with you next time before I buy. I'm pretty sure people would be PISSED if I hauled their deceased loved on in the back of a F-150, but what do I know..... Next time I'll buy a short one, so I can't use it in my business and its completely useless to me. Thanks for your assistance!

 

[Deadman]

what brand did you use on the paint and the wheels?

I'll look when I get a minute. I have a spare bottle in the garage. I'll post back tomorrow or something!

 

[Deadman]

probably for his job, just needs the extra room to haul around dead forum members that call his wife big.

@Deadman I to am curious who won the drag race on the way home?

Thats funny! lol. The HO definitely has more grunt, but we didn't drag them. Wife's a little too careful for that fun!

 

[Deadman]

Is the black C pillar standard, or is it an added wrap?

The Lincoln's are black. Nothing has been done to alter either of their appearances other than mud flaps on the Expedition.

 

[Deadman]

It is a piece of plastic. I was considering buying one and trying to install myself. If I remember correctly, the dealership I called gave me a hard time (since I was going to install on an Expy... I slipped. Meant to say mine cracked. Oh well.) they said it was $600 for both sides. My wrap was $100.

There's more than that black panel to sway tho.... Theres the big section of white behind it as well to black out. I really thought about wrapping mine. I LOVE the Flex look! Black top....

 

[Deadman]

I’m curious about your thoughts after driving both. I love our Navigator but haven’t driven an Expy to be able to compare the two. I’ll second the comment about ceramic coating and the wheels, it also helps immensely with cleaning the grill as well. Chem guys make two particular brushes that make a big difference in cleaning those two areas as well.

I have two of these, one for the grill and one for the wheels.

One of these for the wheels.

I have a long skinny wheel brush similar, but these wheels are tight, might need a smaller brush. (insert dirty humor lol).

should’ve said “found my business” instead of wife. Big difference there...

 

[Grey ghost]

Why do you get the Lincoln and your wife the Ford? Never worked like that when I was married .

He carries richer dead people

Why can’t we just let people do what they want with their money?

@Deadman went into way more detail than he could have (and maybe should have) concerning his purchase and his family's livelihood.

Can we not just let the man enjoy his new ride and back off a bit?

Especially on a forum dedicated to these vehicles

the navigator is the pinnacle of large suvs right now

 

[Kmdcolo]

I love both in white. Do they seem similar or does the navigator feel like a different mfg?

My wife wants the Navigator for her next vehicle. We are waiting to see what the refresh will bring now that GM has released their new platforms. I’ll take her expedition platinum max as my daily driver.

For the record, we have 6 kids so I can justify two full size suvs.

then you got the wrong color!

only for another month or so before fully optioned Escalades start hitting the showrooms with their $130k pricetags

I kept my 18 Expedition, she took the Navigator!

Nah, negativity is more fun! At least now I don't have to waste my time here reporting back the differences between the 2 vehicles. Saves me some time and effort....

The new GM's aren't going to be as impressive as they should be. GMC can't even get their Yukon Denali XL released yet, because they are now releasing it in 3-4 stages for 2021, so the early ones will be paperweights as they won't have the upgrades on them. NO THANKS, they just rushed to the market because the Fords were gaining so much ground.
That 6.2L is a joke especially compared to this 3.5L HO. I mean bad.....

I WAS a die hard GM guy until a few years ago when the Ford quality just blew them away. GM has a lot of work to do to get their reputation back.

Found my wife a 2018 Navigator L 4x4 Black Label with 15,000 miles, so the previous owner took the financial bath! . It was an Arizona car, so it never saw road salt those 2 years of its life.

I'll do a more in depth write up after my wife lets me log some time behind the wheel! So far, the 3.5L HO feels pretty stout! It was almost at 100mph climbing an on ramp on the test drive! The interior is amazing, especially the seats. Wife LOVES the storage under the front of the center console, her purse fits in there perfectly and its not on the passenger seat or on the floor.

Here's a simple pic I grabbed on the way home from picking it up when we stopped at the babysitters to pick up the kids!

The gross roof rack crossbars will be ripped off it immediately. They look hideous.
