New Expedition Buyer or Repeat Buyer

[shane_th_ee]

I'm starting to suspect that a rather high percentage of Gen 4 Expedition buyers are actually folks who were not even considering a Gen 3 Expedition. So I'm curious: if you bought (or are still very much considering buying) a 2018, were you previously considering/cross shopping the 2017s or something else? Personally, I wasn't even considering the 2017s....

I was considering a refreshed 3rd gen before my purchase, but the price for how old it was didnt seem worth it. Was gonna do a mazda cx9, xc90, or pre owned gls if the 4th gen was "the same". Glad it wasn't.

never considered the 3rd generation, I wanted the latest tech

I never considered any previous gen Expi as I wasn’t a fan of the styling.

So according to a lot of people on here, that must mean I really like “minivan styling.” [emoji6]

We originally looked at the 3rd gen expy and Navi but just a couple days after seeing both I read about the complete redesign and decided to wait. We are SO glad we waited. Having had a 3rd gen Navigator loaner after getting the 4th gen and seeing the improvements I would not be happy with the 3rd gen AT ALL. Sorry 4th gen haters, y’all crazy.

I owned a 2008 and had made up my mind to wait for the 2018 when I first learned of the redesign. The 2017's are/were available at great prices, but they don't offer that much advancement from a 2008. I'm retired, tow a trailer, and think I will receive a lot of benefit especially from the new technology that is available on the 18's. Currently waiting for my 2018 to get built and delivered.

My 2007 was acting up so I started looking for a newer used Expy 14-16. Could not find any without 150k or higher mileage. Found a new 2017 at dealership but it had captains chairs in second row which was a deal killer. Decided to check out a 2018 XLT for s&g. Once I had it in sport mode and punched it I was sold. No tow package, 4WD but no locking diffs, a like it alot. Now, my 2007 I didn't mind taking into the desert. My New 70k SUV will probably not go into the desert. Ended up also buying a used 99 Silverado 4x4 for any hardcore four wheelin' I need to do. So I got a 2fer

Currently have my third Expedition on order, owned a 1998, 2008 and soon a2018, each ten year interval provided next generation truck.

Have had a Suburban/Yukon XL in one form or another since 1994. Gen IV got me into a Ford Store, will go with a Platnium Max, Bench, White on Black with Tow Package when I find one

As my family grows, I needed something bigger than a qx50. I never considered domestics until the latest explorer. Car looked amazing on paper. That got me looking at the expedition.

I have a few more months left on my Infiniti lease, but once that’s up I think I’ll be tossed up between the expedition, Navi and qx80.. lease offers will play a big role in my decision

3rd gen expi was never in question and never will be. It just doesn’t measure up for what I need
