Hi all,
Merry Christmas Eve to everyone.
I just bought a few months ago a 2020 army green TRD Pro 4runner. I absolutely love it.
But it is a little tight on space. My wife is a big gal and we find the 4runner a little tight. Don't get me wrong, its fine and its not that tight of a fit but we could def use a step up in terms of more room.
The primary reason for going into the expedition would be the larger space and more cargo space. It would definitely NOT be towing or needing the extra row of seats for kids.
I have driven the Tahoe/Yukon and did not like them. The Toyota Sequoia is a really old platform and I would not consider it.
The primary reason I bought 4runnner was I love the look of the army green and of course the capability of the TRD pro go anywhere or do anything SUV. I also love the durability meaning I can put 200,000 miles on that baby without even blinking an eye. Its made in Japan and the build quality id really incredible. Ans the resale value is very very strong.
So I have a few questions for you for the experts. This will be my first Ford vehicle.
If I did buy the 2020 expedition even though I am Florida I would buy the 4 Wheel Drive. XLT and I will try to get the off-road package FX4
I know pricing varies but should I be working to try to get around $1000 below invoice? Should I be around invoice?
As an FYI I would be trading my trd pro for the Expedition and this will take a little work but I think with the strong resale value of the TRD Pro, I should do ok. I have looked online and I know a 2020 XLT 4 wheel drive is about $57k, but I see them all over at like $51k. I figure if I want the FX4 package I will be around $60k MSRP and hope to get it at around $53-55k. Cars.com even had a few new one for $49k.
But aside from the price these are the questions I really need your help and guidance on:
Having confidence in this expedition long-term is my main concern. I usually keep SUV's 8 to 10 years and would probably do the same with this expedition.
If I maintain it well and take care of it will it last 200,000 miles? I know there’s been some articles written about the durability and sometimes it gets included in the list but I want to hear from you owners out there.
How is the build quality? And lastly I haven’t done much research on resale value? Once I decide to sell it hopefully in about 8 to 10 years and it has 150,000 to 200k miles on it will it still be worth something?
Lastly, driving advice as a daily driver. I know this baby is a big immense SUV, but is it hard to live with daily? Is it hard to park? I live in Gulf coast of Florida-open roads, lots of space, big parking lots and not tight small streets.
I thank you in advance for your detailed comments and thoughts and appreciate it very much. I really do need a push and would like to hear as much info from the group as possible. Thanks again!
