My family of four values large SUVs, and until now Ford hasn't played well in this space. The last five full size SUVs we have owned have carried the Chevrolet/GM badge for obvious reasons. The most recent was a 2016 Chevrolet Suburban so I am well equipped to give a comparison review of the American brands. For starters, it's fairly obvious that the profile of the new Expedition strongly resemble the Tahoe/Suburban. But fortunately that is where the resemblances end. In every other way, function and form, the Expedition is unique and better. Arguably it should be, however, as the Suburban is almost three years older with the current gen dropping in March of 2015 (I had mine then anyway). When I say better I mean technology, ride, power, fuel economy, reliability, quality, functionality for families with small children etc. So far the only thing I can see that GM does better relates to child locks in which Ford requires you to engage from the inside of the rear doors where GM has a convenient switch located in the front for the driver to easily engage and disengage. Otherwise, the Expedition combines what I liked about the GM competitors while fixing the things I hated. For me the Expedition is the perfect full size SUV.

I have driven Fords most of my life. I moved to Toyotas (Sequoia, very good vehicle) about 10 years ago and now I am back with the Expedition and love it. Ford's redesign hit a home run. Rides great, handles great and has the room I need for sons sports teams. Electronics are great also. My wife has driven Lexus (Great), BMW (never again) and now a Range Rover (fantastic vehicle). So far the 2018 Platinum Expedition is right there with the Lexus and Range Rover!

Electronics begin failing in the first three months. With less than 9000 miles the whole center console area went dead blacked out. Before reaching 50,000 miles and during the first 17 months the vehicle did not recognize its own key fob and had to be towed from a drive up window after blocking their drive up for two hours. Center consul nonresponsive a second time in less than 50,000 miles. Transmission slips during downshift, goes to neutral, and sometimes park. Rear tires locked up and sent me skidding at 60 mph on a downshift. Buyer BEWARE. My vehicle has been at the dealership for five months and they Haven’t fixed it !

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.
