Forget the Suburban!

Spent 1 week test driving several Suburbans (LTZ/ZR1) but I constantly went back to the Expedition. This is my first Ford so I did my research. The Expedition has significant more leg room for the 3rd row which is great for adults but is also huge when you have 2 car seats back there. The 3rd row fold flat feature carries significant weight against the Chevy Suburban. The actual trunk space is 1" shorter than Suburban but is almost 3" wider. Compare to a comparable LTZ the Ford is $8000 less and still has more features. The 6 speed transmission is smooth and responsive. The ride is much better than the Suburban. The independent rear suspension on Ford is much more forgiving as well.

Recently purchased this vehicle and went on a 3000 mile trip. This vehicle was very comfortable and provided an excellent ride. The observed fuel mileage exceeded the published values. The new 6 speed automatic transmission is smooth under all loading conditions.

We bought the EL because GM does not feel that adults or children sit in the third row in the Denali or Suburban. Well they lost a sale because of it. Ford knows how to make a third row work for adults over six feet. Everyone is comfy in all rows.The engine is under powered and the EL is heavy aka its slow. The six speed tranny does give you the feeling of speed but realiity can set in quickly...ie merging. The gadgets are great like the power folding 3rd row and the back door. The seats are great all around. We noticed the leather seats were longer than the cloth seats..yes odd. The gas mileage is not good. Fake chrome Dubs is very bad..chrome covers? Why, Ford why?

Watch out GMC Yukon XL and Chevy Suburban. This Ford has been an excellent vehicle. Expeditions are about $4,000 less than the previous year. The Ford EL Limited has more standard equipment including a wrap around air bag system that protects passengers all the back to the third row. I own a 2004 Yukon XL and went to the local GMC dealer to purchase another for our growing family. Before the purchase, I decided to go to the Ford dealer to see what Ford had engineered with the EL - wow. A joy to drive and more for your money. Do a comparison on Edmunds, but compare apples to apples. The Ford EL standard equipment is optional on the Chevy and Yukon. Test drive for yourself.
