What did you do to the expy today

[ManUpOrShutUp]

Transmission blew up this morning after that post LMAO. Lost everything except for 1 and 2. So there is our answer on what is sending her to the bone yard.

How many miles?

How many miles?

I think it’s 214

Damn, hope my 6R80 holds up a bit better than that. Of course it may not matter because there's no way this 5.4L is lasting much longer.

My torque converter burned up around 160k and I replaced it. So this trans all ready had burned up TC crap in it and lasted another 50k miles lol. The 2007s 6R75 were prone to torque converter failure I replaced it with the 6R80 torque converter since it is a plug and play upgrade

Hey she had a good run, EcoBoost time

15-17 or you thinking 4th gen?

 

[brotherbeard]

I bought her some lube and some plugs

Added some low power LEDs to the airdam on a separate switch, mostly for my camera, which is above the hidden winch, to see boulders as I wheel alone at night. Also, good as Day Running Lights.

I’d like the new body but the 2017s seem like a really good deal even in this market. Idk if I want to spend the extra for the 10 spd

The better ride, handling, space, comfort, and efficiency cant convince you?

I'd pay extra to not have the new body style.

Why don't you like it?

 

[ManUpOrShutUp]

To me, it doesn't look like a truck anymore. It looks like the bastard child of a hearse and a minivan. I get it though. Most people want crossovers, not SUVs/trucks. Toyota is, inevitably, going to kill the 4runner at some point also. It gets slammed in every review for not being a crossover, which is what those who love it love most about it.


This is the body of a crossover. No 2 ways about it.

really Ford just went wrong on the the big milk jug tails with the slope. Look at the Yukon for that masculine look shorter tails with a more straight rear. I won’t say no to a 2018 as long as the price is right. They look good in black.

If you want the price to be right, you'll probably need to wait until at least 2023.

I wouldn’t say so. I have seen some in the upper 30s and lower 40s, but the 2017s are quite a bit cheaper

The new gms don't look great to me. Actually, ford took design elements from the 4th gen gms for 4th gen expy Inspiration, gm just copied the body of the fords for their 5th gen design and applied the usual gm front of it. My dad upgraded his escalade, 22 premium in black with chrome package. Looks great, but like you said, can't go wrong in black.

Well, they're much, much more than they would be if not for the current state of the car market. Heck, it's now considered a "deal" to get a new vehicle for between MSRP and 5% over MSRP. When the market returns to normal and new car supply is once again able to meet demand, used cars will flood the market and values will tank.

I'm not a fan of the new GM's looks either and I definitely see a strong resemblance between Ford/GM. However, I think the latest Expeditions actually look even worse than the GMs.

No version of the tahoe looks good to me. The denali looks good, but regular or at4 versions aren't attractive. The escalade looks great in Chrome or sport trims, not rele good in other trims.

To protect my expedition from ignorant people from slamming car doors into my vehicle I added some protection to decrease others from damaging the sides of my vehicle.
