Purchased the vehicle brand new (3.5 miles). We drove it for two days and the SYNC system started locking the media / nav system along with placing random numbers in when attempting to dial the phone via audio response. On the third day, the read hatch would open and not close. Hatch would go down and come right back up. Then start it up and push on throttle with minimal response. Expy would not go over 10 MPH. Nursed it back to the dealer and service adviser experienced first hand this issue. "I've never seen anything like this"- NOT the words I want to hear from a "Blue Oval" expert who will be repairing the vehicle. Owned 3 days and back to the shop for repair - VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!

We needed to upgrade tow vehicles since moving from a 12’ Scamp to a 23’ Outback. We were seriously considering a Yukon or Suburban. Then we test drove a 2012 Expedition Limited and was floored by the rude quality and features. The Chevy would certainly have done the job but it rode like a truck, very stiff and harsh. The Ford was just different, very quiet and smooth with the air ride independent rear suspension, 20’ all terrain tires, and capable towing capacity. Handling is surprising and taking it out into the forest service roads is never a problem. Rarely is 4x4 ever needed and in snow, just a flick to 4x automatic is all that’s needed. This thing weighs out at 5,500, so it’s a beast. But my 1986 full-size Bronco weighed 6,800. Ford did a lot of weight trimming here. Some people complain about the interior trim. Yes it’s plastic everywhere. But so is everything else in this world. It all works and is thoughtfully laid out. The pedals even adjust! Our Expedition has just over 220,000 miles on the original drivetrain. One big recommendation is to never miss an oil change (NEVER). The variable valve timing, camshafts, lifters, timing train all depend on clean fresh oil ALL THE TIME, so keep up on the maintenance schedule. The upside to this is that you can get one cheap, with a bad engine and do an (expensive) rebuild and still come out ahead (if you are a sadist). The engines are complicated pieces. But…if you wanted to throw $$ at it you could go crazy (twin cam anyone?). But stock is just fine for most of the universe. A recent trip from Missoula Montana to Olympia Washington, in winter, over several mountain passes, lots of slow going in 4x auto, got me to 18.5 mpg loaded. Considering the size, the safety, the convenience and comfort, it was worth the price. We were looking for a Chevy, but chose Ford for the long haul. Keep an open mind and you’ll be surprised at what the universe has to offer you.

Bought vehicle, took it home, next morning, computer malfunction - ABS disabled, no directional signals, navigation detected system fault, dealer still has it and wont be ready until Thursday - one week in service. Brand new never driven condition. Not a good experience at all. Third ford for me.
