Reliability and user satisfaction

[keny01998]

I just jumped to 2019 Ford Exp XLT 4WD since August 2019. I got two Acura MDX (2010 and 2017) and a Lexus sedan (2010) so buying a Ford was another experience. Acura got their own issue with zf 9 speed transmission and oil consumption with their older MDX. The main reasons I bought the Exp are better room and tow capacity since I have big family and a boat. All the technology options are comparable to my 2017 MDX but the ride is much better. My kids were no longer felt car sick like in the MDX and we feel safer. I did 2 oil changes so far myself and every works as expected. I keep checking on the struts since people said theirs are blown but nothing showed yet. I did a lot of research and test drive between GM SUV like Tahoe, Yukon, and Ford Exp. Our family did not like the 3rd row in GM SUV due to the raise up floor and we didn't want the XL edition. I almost bought the 2018 but the plastic oil plug was the main factor that I waited for 2019. After 6 months and 7500 miles with many road trips and towing to the lake, I really like the 19 Exp. I hope nothing major will break in the long run. I also bought the extended warranty up to 72mo/100k miles from Lombard Ford for a peace of mind.
