Lipstick on a Pig
I have a 2018 Expedition XLT with the 202A package. The car looks great, the inside is comfortable, and loved it for the first 2 years. Since then I’ve been completely disappointed. Some time in year 2 the rear shocks had to be replaced. My wife drives this vehicle. Hauling kids is the hardest driving it gets. Absolutely no reason those should have gone out and should have been covered under warranty. They weren’t. Then a few months later a catalytic converter went out. The dealer tried to make us pay for it when it was under warranty but that’s another story. They eventually did it under warranty. Now the variable timing solenoid is out (year 4, 2022). All together these issues have cost over $3000. For such an expensive car I expect better. Ford got the cosmetics right but their quality is terrible. I was planning on buying an F150, but not now. Stay away from Ford and Expeditions especially. They don’t care about quality and want to over charge for what you get.

Confort at a cost
Great vehicle rides like a dream especially for a 4wd. Interior quite attractive and user friendly but I got to tell you dont buy this thing if you want descent gas mileage. I should have thought this through since most my driving is in town and not highway. I average 12 to 13 mpg (and thats with a light foot) punch it and you get 10mpg. and this would not have been acceptable had I realized this before the purchase of the vehicle. The sticker said 17 mpg but I failed to realize that was an estimate based on highway and city. So to sum it up you get a great American made vehicle with all the bells and whistles in an attractive package but its going to cost you for that luxury. If you can afford it go for it you wont be disappointed I am not sure long term I will be able to.

Towing trap
All reviews for Expedition and Ford sell towing capabilities. BUT, once you finally locate the fine print, you realize the limitations unless you pile on the expensive numerous options. Limit maybe 6,000 pounds towing TOTAL! 7/18 bought 2018 XLT FX4 with Class IV trailer towing package and other options to use in new to be purchased travel trailer towing. But, can’t tow the weight (despite being well under touted 9,200 pounds) AND missing trailer brake controller that requires yet another option package or to install after purchase. Dealers don't know or can’t do after purchase of what could be multiple days in the shop and $500-600 plus — if they could do it. Given brake controller is required for almost all towing and many laws, does Ford ignore liability if someone tows without, or tows heavier weight, and causes crash? Buyer beware.

Still love it
Pretty much the best big SUV out there currently still love it no complaints. Zero quality issues. Best large SUV I’ve ever owned. Certainly would buy again if I needed a large SUV considerably better than my GMC Denali on quality and performance. Had for 2 yrs no issues.
