Beautiful and functional truck. Some reviews state the styling is boxy and dated but I love it. The shape and lines are, in my view, timeless and classic. None of the overly contoured look on other vehicles.Engine performance is impressive. Tons of power, very peppy and good economy when you consider the size of this thing. The interior is beautiful. Nice fit and finish. Nice layout. I like the instrument cluster a lot but do wish they would update the system to allow vehicle info (like the trip and fuel economy metrics) to be displayed on the right hand screen in addition to the phone & entertainment options. Also wish the stereo system had a simple AUX in jack. Apple CarPlay and the system bluetooth work well but a 3.5mm AUX jack should also be an option. The nav system is pretty good but I still prefer Waze and hope it's supported on CarPlay one day. Sync3 overall is pretty cool and easy to use. The interface is well done. The display is beautiful. Have only had the truck for one month, so can't speak to reliability or maintenance yet. UPDATE: After owning the vehicle over a year I still love it overall. Excellent looks, ride comfort, interior layout and cargo capacity. Waze support will be offered with Sync3 v3, so that's welcome news. Criticisms include: lack of cargo tie-down points in the cargo area, the 110V outlet is only 150W, which is very weak and the stock halogen headlights have relatively weak output.

My 2017 with under 60k miles that is always serviced at the dealer experienced a complete brake failure resulting in a crash. Ford won’t even acknowledge the problem. I had to pay to have the brake booster replaced. Very dangerous and irresponsible in my opinion.

I bought this car used and after only one week the blower motor went out which happened again three times within the next year. When moving across the country I was stranded for two days in a motel because something in my acceleration broke. In my last oil change I was shown coolant in my oil which means head gasket. That should be a couple thousand. Today I got in and the AC is t working. Not to mention how many plastic pieces have broken when pulling the seats forward. For the amount of money this car should be my dream but instead it is a money pit. I’ve sunk $3500 into it and I haven’t even owned it for two years. They are so confused at the dealership that I take it to saying they’ve never seen this before. I’m always waiting with the credit card for the next repair. This car has spent more time in the shop then my done 2003 Chevy.

Electrical Nightmare!

Bought this new. Had it 20 months now. At 76000km now. It’s spent 2 months on and off at the ford dealership since new. All electrical issues. Wipers, heater, side sensor, parking sensor, rear defroster, door locks, horn beeping twice absolutely every time I open or close the door.... you name it! It’s been a nightmare! When the pad under the front of the expedition filled with ice and become disconnected at the front and started scooping ice off the road at highway speed, I called roadside assistance and they asked if I could crawl under and disconnect the back of the pad! I ended up calling neighbors to come help out as it was -20 degrees out and I had children on board. Absolutely the worst vehicle I’ve ever owned. Ford itself doesn’t know how to fix their own product! Also has rear stabilizers broke before the first oil change, they were replaced, and have been replaced again since then. The only thing good about it was the ride was smooth and felt safe when the heater worked. I wouldn’t recommend this vehicle for anyone who makes a lot of miles with a family.... it’s unreliable. One highly distracting feature is the climate control for the back passengers is never an easy set up. Every time you start the vehicle you have to go through the menu to give permission to the back seat so they can set their own temperature!!! It’s frustrating!
