Has anyone seen the 2015 Tahoe? Maybe it is my irrational hatred for the bowtie, but it is one ugly looking vehicle...

Yea I think it looks ugly too. The interior looks ok though.

3.5 will be plenty to lots of people but lack in towing power, sticking to 5.4.

Please, tell us more!!

Are there only Platinum trims out and about at the shows or any trims levels for mere mortals?

I'd really like to see an XLT or Limited.

Some people will always have the opinion that a V-8 will always be better than a V-6, even when the V-6 makes more torque and horsepower.

The V-6 is perceived as being less than. But here is some food-for-thought, there was a point in time when early trucks and pickups didn’t have V-8s. The biggest engines offered were up to six-cylinders. Even when eight-cylinder engines made their entrance into the truck world, the six-cylinder engines remained very popular for a long time.

Old advert from Ford for its "new" six-cylinder powerplant






More food-for-thought? Torque ouptut ratings are in descending order, from greatest to least:

2015 Ford Expedition .............. 3.5 EcoBoost V-6 ........... 370 horsepower, 430 lb-ft of torque
2015 Mercedes-Benz GL 450 .... 4.6 BiTurbo V-8 .............. 362 horsepower, 406 lb-ft of torque
2015 Toyota Sequoia .............. 5.7 i-FORCE V-8 ............. 381 horsepower, 401 lb-ft of torque
2015 Dodge Durango ............... 5.7 HEMI V-8 ................. 360 horsepower, 390 lb-ft of torque
2015 Nissan Armada ................ 5.6 VK56DE V-8 ............. 317 horsepower, 385 lb-ft of torque
2015 Chevrolet Tahoe .............. 5.3 EcoTec3 V-8 ........... 355 horsepower, 383 lb-ft of torque
2014 Ford Expedition ............... 5.4 Triton V-8 ............... 310 horsepower, 365 lb-ft of torque

With 430 lb-ft of torque, the Expedition will accelerate like a rhino on crack, and easily get a heavy multi-axle trailer up to speed. Much faster than the 5.4 Triton V-8 can.

I think the v-6 will preform alot better then the v-8 when it comes to towing. The boost makes so much a difference. Turbos have come so far in the past years. The lag isnt as big of an issue as it was in the past. I am going to convince my dad to buy the new expy with eco boost instead of a pathfinder or explorer.

Here is the Expedition King Ranch. Caribou replaces Pale Adobe for two-tone colored models on the lower front and rear bumpers, lower bodywork and running boards. New exterior and interior colors, interior trim, alloy wheels, and features will be offered for 2015. Note some of the Satin silver beauty trim of the high end Platinum is absent.
