Sure there are, but they’re all a helluva lot more expensive than the Expi (and some more than the Navi), and none of them are built on a truck chassis:
MB GLS
MB GLE with optional 3rd row
Tesla Model X with the rear facing seats
BMW X7
Volvo XC90
Or, and I hate doing this on a Ford forum, wait for the new Denali and Escalade to be released for sale and see how you like those.

Another option would be getting an off lease Navi...

We've all talked about this before. As my father used to say (God rest his soul), doesn't matter if you're buying a Yugo or a Rolls, there are lemons out there. Forums are a scary place to go at times.
I've had mine for 16 months, with just under 15K miles. NO issues at all, and I love it!!! Tranny so smooth, I never know what gear it's in. I looked at a lot of stuff before I bought this. Actually, it was the LAST thing I looked at. Being old school, I didn't want something with those fancy turbos. One drive changed everything. There's NOTHING out there as nice as this, except the Navi. That said, I haven't looked at the Hyundai/Kia twins, and I think the new Escalde (sp) could give a lot of things a run for the money.
Lastly, I'll say it again, this is the first new Ford I've owned in 30 years.......what does that say???
Just go buy it!

Bad shocks is my only complaint , Bilstein fixed that and since when is a limited a cheap model?
5 star tuner 20 k miles, very happy.

I figured since she said nav money was tok big money, those other options would be too save the volvo xc90. Even so, i think the expys(and by extension the nav) a better product than the volvo. I havent driven the others to make a comparison. Sat in a tesla model x, great interior, but cramped, sparce, and nowhere near the seat comfort level. Mpst ppl who pay too much attention to the dash dont pay attention to prolli top 10 best seats in the business, def top 3 of all suvs.

We have a 2019 Limited with the special edition package. Love it. Wife loves it and it her vehicle. I have the front camera washer that leaks. Really that's it. 11K miles. Im looking at something now for me. I want the 2020 explorer. OMG go read that forum. Looked at the Volkswagen Atlas. Nice vehicle and I really like it. OMG. go read that forum. Ive looked at and drove the 2020 pilot, Audi Q7, Telluride, Suburu Assent, Volvo XC90, 2020 Explorer. You would be buying a bicycle if you judged your purchase on a forum. They are good for some heads up information. They don't include all the 10s of thousands of buyers that love their vehicles.
My experience with cars has been that the customer service dept's of the mfr, dealer, and repair center are the key factors in determining if you'll end up regretting your purchase. I think buying any car is a gamble, but if you feel confident with those you'll be dealing with should trouble arise, you're likely to do OK.

Im totally in agreement with you, but I'm guessing you've never been on bicycle forums hahaha!
Gotta remember these forums are made up of people extremely unhappy and looking for answers and those who are enthusiasts who analyze every aspect and like to tinker.

I'm gonna second this. I've owned a F150 in a 3.5 and 2.7, and going by the forums, either engine was going to explode within the first 10K miles.
2018 XLT 4x4 Max is just over a year old 15K miles. Zero problems so far. Drove Suburbans since 1995, test drove the new Expy and was surprised it was so much better. Quieter, handles better, noticeably more powerful, great transmission, way more room in 3rd row seat, and can tow the moon. Would definitely purchase again. Might get a few different options though.

I love my 2016 XLT EL with 59000 miles. Traded in my 2003 that had 130000 on the dial. Have had zero issues w 2016, love the 35gal tank.
I had a 2013 Expedition Limited and loved it. We were in a bad accident and it was totaled but my wife and I came out okay. We went back and bought a 2017 Expedition Limited and we will drive nothing else. No problems with either one. I recommend the Expedition to all.
I agree, I just turned over 20K on my 2018 MAX Ltd and have had no issues at all. I love this vehicle it's my third Expedition, and the best yet. I wish there were more after market accessories for it I would like to make it look a bit different from the others on the street.
Look at Consumer Reports: They rate the Expedition as #1of 11 large SUVs, and the predicted reliability for 2019s is shown as much better than average. They poll hundreds of owners, including those who have had problems and those who haven't.
