Thank you to everyone who commented. Definitely a bummer and sad to say, we no longer own this vehicle. The other night we were driving and noticed the vehicle was struggling to get power going up a hill with the turbo cutting in and out...seemed like it was misfiring/hesitating under moderate load. Then I went to go pass someone 15 minutes later and RPM hit about 3000 and just sat there jerking before finally kicking in seconds later. It was too late to finish the pass so I ended up following a guy going 10 under for several miles until he finally turned off. Was concerning. No blinking CEL but was clearly misfiring. That combined with a vibration at 75 MPH and whistling at speed put my wife over the edge who kinda fought me on buying it in the first place. My wife asked me to return it...believe it or not, the dealership we worked with was fantastic and obliged. We lost our super low APR financing and we're now back at square one to find something new. That being said, we really liked the Expedition and feel like its space along with low-end torque and power when running correctly was exactly what we needed to tow our camper. We had a fairly bad experience with a previous Ford vehicle that ended up getting lemoned after nearly 3 years of Ford stonewalling and refusing to fix a defective engine and transmission (needed two engines by the time it was bought back and the squawking transmission never got replaced). My wife said she would not endure that again or be willing to take the inevitable loss.
I felt crazy looking at a Ford again but with the exception of not having air suspension, I personally think the Expedition is a better overall package than the Yukon/Tahoe. That being said, prices are crazy for the new ones and they seem to be almost impossible to find much like the GM competitors. There's a 2021 Platinum they want MSRP for (like 80K)...definitely not the same deal as our CPO 2018 but it seems like 2021 have been doing better other than the fire recall. My only alternative is a 6.2 based GM that will cost me north of 80K for even lower trims if I want to get one now (that's if I can find one). Or...I wait for the 23 Sequoia...which in my opinion landed like a dud. Thanks again for the tips...I'm still hoping we can be Expedition owners...just not the one we had.
