- This is the SUV for someone who needs bigger, larger and more of everything. In a world where many SUVs and CUVs continue to pretend they are trucks the Expedition truly is and shares many of the good things about the Ford F150. There are other choices like the Lexus LX570, Chevy Suburban and now Kia Telluride the Expedition has a long history of high usage.

This seems far more realistic at $80,000 than the Edge does at $40,000.
Geese is a rare bird in that he strikes me as more of a car guy but he can put that aside and review a truck from a truck buyers perspective while keeping expectations realistic and objective.
Bravo
i guess it is quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
@Langston Nash ehh I use flixportal. You can find it thru google:) -connor
@Connor Tripp Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it !
@Langston Nash No problem :D
This is the only channel I disable adblock for, and then watch a whole ad. You rock bro.
$80,000 .... Damn. I thought I was guessing high at $65,000.
Doug N remember, American cars are always marked way higher than they actually are sold / leased for
Doug N 80,000 plus financing an taxes puts u at 110.000-125,000
@@maverick-zj3jz I just looked at and test drove a loaded Platinum for $63,000. The MSRP is full of built-in discounts.
Try $63,000 for a loaded 2019 Platinum. MSRP is loaded with discounts. Who pays MSRP?
That's Your opinion. An opinion that I don't agree with. Plus regarding your MSRP. A loaded Platinum $63,000 out the door for a new 2019. I'm guessing since you're the expert you know that the MSRP is loaded with discounts from the manufacturers. That's why manufacturers are able to give $8,000 to $10,000 discounts. Do you ever pay MSRP for a vehicle that you purchase?
The interior is way too cheap looking for the price they want
That's pretty much all ford all the way around
All that plastic you can get cars half the price with more premium interiors
wx4newengland crazy how a 25k Mazda 3 2019 has a way better interior.
Hyundai interiors look cheap, but once you enter one and drive it for several weeks, youll realize its actually a nicely built car.
@@underratedcritic1983 No one is talking about Hyundai.
This review is probably one of your best works
Fantastic, informed and relevant discussion; amazing quality cinematography
Keep it up man
This is flat out the best reviewer of many I like on youtube.
And this is why I still subscribe to your channel, you keep it quick, and simple.
This is our family vehicle and we now have 10K miles on ours. This review is spot-on, even the negatives regarding the tires and traction. The stock tires are very slippery in the rain. I typically switch to sport mode (which switches to 4wd) in the rain, just for the added traction.
Great review - very human and relatable description of how it feels to drive, and fascinating engineering detail. Thank you!
I liked V1 as well
In Texas - we have low interest 124 month loans ready for new buyers
LOL
😂😂
Jeeeezz
Haha. This ford won't last close to 124 months
Lol.
It's a mortgage on wheels like I said the first time.
That was the first comment I read on last video and came again haha
There are those who have $80,000 in their couch cushions.
I only have about a buck 75 in my sofa 😂
A mortgage that lasts 60-84 months
I honestly can't see why someone would get this over a Porsche Cayenne, hahaha.
@@TheCarCrazyGuy Some go over 96 months.
At 3:10, People buy the Max version because it has a lot more cargo room behind the 3rd row. Growing up my dad had a Suburban, then a Yukon XL, then an Expedition EL, and now he just bought another Expedition EL. When you have people sitting in all three rows of seats on a road trip, there is just not enough room for the entire family's luggage behind the 3rd row in the regular length versions. He won't even consider buying a Tahoe or a regular length Expedition because they just aren't as practical.
Sounds like what he really needed was a minivan.
greggy weggy He tows a 6,000 lb camper with it. A minivan cannot do that.
@@metricstormtrooper I use a grand Caravan for work. Third row up leaves zilch cargo space. Mini namesake for a reason
Daddy
My grandparents went from a suburban to an excursion, and traded it in after backing into things every trip. Wish they would remake that behemoth with a 360 camera and 7.3l powerstroke.
We bought one in Dec 2019. Bought a 2019 XLT with the 302A tech package. The dealer gave us lifetime powertrain warranty provided we get our maintenance done at QuickLane and majors (20k/60k/etc) done at the dealer. Bought the mid-level warranty on all electrical and tech for $50\mo. MSRP was $59k as driven. Walked out for $52k plus the warranty. I came from an F150 (and wife had a 2015 Tahoe). He’s right about the interior and materials, but he’s also right that the thing hauls. The 3.7eco is fantastic. Getting 21.5mpg on road trips, 17.1 overall average. Put 4500 miles on so far. Can I just say that I LIVE THIS THING. We named it the Battlewagon.
PS: my first car was a 93 Bronco which I lifted and kept for 13 years... this thing is comparable as far as ride height and command of the road.
PSS: drove the explorer... all I can say is WOW. $50k MSRP and the thing was a total joke. Terrible vehicle in my humble opinion.
Good to see a truck-based SUV
This automotive channel has the best cinematography (I don’t know if that’s what it’s called) your videos are very high quality and are a joy to watch.
700 Tread Wear...Wow. Well, I guess that's good because where I live I see so many of the Expeditions/Tahoes with bald worn tires because the owners don't have $1600 spare dollars for a new set of tires.
If you can't afford to put tires on the vehicle you could not afford the vehicle to begin with. Treadwear ratings don't mean a whole lot because it's related to that tire manufacture there's no standardized test.
@@autohelix there is a standardized test from the NHTSA
285/45R22s available from Tirerack for as little as $791/set, which seems pretty impressive for the size
@Your Mums HITACHI Ouch, dad's vibrator, that was a bit harsh. I don't even own an SUV. I just see a lot of bald tires on these beasts.
@@autohelix yeah but most don't know how much 22inch SUV tires cost...
Great job Mark.... best reviewer hands down!!
The shot from the interior of the moonroof operation is on point :thumbs:
Great video again! Night shots/scenes were pretty
Proud 2018 Platinum AWD with trailering package owner here. Its worth every penny in my opinion. I upgraded from a 2015 Impala LTZ and it has met /exceeded every expectation I had for it. You may reasonably ask "why not a Navi at this pricepoint?" and the answer is simply that I'm a ruffian and want something that felt like an F-150 with more luxury. This is it. Its a tonka truck with all the bells and whistles one could want in a heavy duty truck. I will be in the market for another once I'm done with this one in a decade or so.
Smooth review. Appreciate the honesty. We will see these on the road in 20 years I'm sure.
Respect for quick info update!
Thanks for a great review. Nice to see one that doesn't feel like it was paid for by the car maker. I still like it after a test drive, and i appreciate your insight.
MAX GIRTH should be a super duty package next year
Wjth the duellies
2020 f-350 super duty Max Girth Powerstroke package.
Yeah, I like the sound of that...
Be_Easy Ford Excursion lol
(r/RoastMe) Ok- I'll take the bullet ...AMA . I bought a brand new Expedition Max Platinum last May. Exact model that is in this video except mine is blue. I thought this video did an excellent job of highlighting the pros and cons. Overall I am very pleased with it. A couple of things for anyone that cares...
- I wanted a body on frame true truck. I traded in a 2013 F-150 FX4 and was very happy with that truck but now have different needs.
- Hauling- Really great in this truck. Others have correctly pointed out that a Pacifica or a van does this better. This is true but see my other points. Towing... 4Wd... etc. I move my kids around with friends... hockey gear... in the dead of winter without problem and can even take some snowmobiles.
- AWD/4WD- this is what I like best about this truck. You can select RWD or 4A which is 4 auto/AWD. You can drive in any conditions in 4A (including bone dry asphalt) as opposed to my previous F150 which was either 2WD or 4WD. Meaning I can set it and forget it. Especially great for rain and intermittent ice. Very underrated feature and critical for safety. If you want traditional 4WD you need to select "Mud/Ruts" or "Sand" in the Expedition and then it acts as if the center diff is locked.
- Electronic Locking rear Diff- It isn't a true mechanical locker if you look it up but it works decently in a pinch. Especially in heavy snow and some mild mud.
-Towing- Up to 9200 lbs which I use to move a boat around, small camper, snowmobiles as well as other things to help at a family farm.
-Why not something else? What I originally wanted was a Land Cruiser. I would agree it is the superior truck but it just doesn't have the same interior space for families and road trips. I keep tools and other items in the center console... the little refrigerator (cool box) just wasn't a trade off worth it for me and the 2nd and 3rd row are much more usable in the expedition. I am 6'4 260 and other vehicles just don't cut it. Yes I am the oversized American that deserves your derision...
-Why not GM? I think this is a fair comparison. The Suburban is 3 inches longer FYI. Personally I like Fords. I like the EcoBoost as it is fast AF but I totally understand why you would disagree and take a V8. Also, the 2nd and 3rd row are much better in the Ford. Don't believe me- check it for yourself. Finally I find the 4Wd system better in the Ford than the GM twins.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
What is your fuel economy?
@@markkropf8295 I have been getting just a little over 18 mpg mixed driving with approx 3/4 in town.
Why did you get this instead of navigator? Price is very similar.
@@chltmdwp Couple of reasons . The main one was availability and service. The navigators were/are harder to get ahold of. Where I live the Lincoln dealership is a really small operation while the Ford dealership is just around the corner from me and has treated me very well in the past.
I also did not want the attention of driving a Lincoln. Would much rather blend in with a Ford. I think the interior of the Lincoln is a little gaudy and ultimately will not hold up as well as the Ford. You are already seeing this in follow up reviews with the Navigator. Too many "one offs" with Lincoln. The Expedition is more in line with its roots as an F150.
@Rob Wong Glad to hear you like yours as well! I am really impressed by the AWD/4wd system on it. IMO it does not get enough attention. Don't get me wrong- this is not an off road machine but is excellent for daily traction especially if you live where inclement weather resides. It will be interesting to see the longevity and long term quality of these vehicle. Especially for the price.
We rented a small SUV on vacation and when we got to the rental kiosk we ended up with (I think) 2018 turbo Expedition. It is a lot of fun if you're on the highway doing 80 but once you get into any civilization, RIP.
In 50 years, when we all wear the same silver standardized jumpsuit and eat food in pill form we will look back on the giant SUV era and laugh as we putt along in our fart powered transport cubes.
I do wonder what will happen then. I'll be pushing 90 yrs old by then so my driving will be a thing of the past a decade earlier.
It's an absurd amount of time left thinking about it
Wow, Fart Powered. That's a great idea. You would have a seat with a special Ass Gas nipple to keep it fuel.
We will just teleport to our destination
The Excursion was such a freak of nature
I can't believe even this Max trim is still more than half a foot shorter
I rented an Expedition for a week in Colorado. It was fantastic. I don't really need an Expedition for daily use. But anytime I take a road trip, I'm renting one. That turbo engine was flawless and powerful going up thru the Million Dollar highway, from 3000 feet to 11300 feet in elevation. I may buy an Expedition MAX to live in full time. $80000 home on wheels. lol
The interior is the only real weak point on this vehicle, estimated gas miliage for some not withstanding. Cost can drop dramatically if you ease up on the frills and wait for rebates and sales clearances. Overall a nice vehicle in it's class. Good review as always.
Might have to cop one. Always looking to Max my GIRTH
Superb music choice for this vehicle!
Amazingly, i've seen more MAX versions out on the streets, than regular ones. Although I'm totally with you, those are GIGANTIC.
yanboa GIGANTIC really? My F150 is 25 inches longer than this and I have the short bed.
Pricing people out of the market. Harley Davidson is doing the same freaking thing,
What is your opinion of the Honda plant closing in England that produces the Type R?Obviously production and availability. Where/if will it be produced, quality? Really enjoy your videos.
New car prices are too unattainable for the John Q Public people like me.
Gonna be a big blow to the auto industry. Only the wealthier can afford most new cars today. Guess we either buy used or lease.
Give it like 2-3 years and this will be bargain prices
Stop working at McDonalds and get a good paying job lol
Lol, McDonald's has nothing to do with it. My wife and I are both in finance and combined we make decent income(over 100k) but vehicles like these or even much cheaper once are out of question. Between mortgage, utilities and eating healthy and traveling, kids etc it is very hard and unreasonable to shop for anything that costs more than 30, maybe 35k before tax. I moved here in 2013 and cheapest BMW 3 series was around 33k if I remember correctly. Now you need around 40k for cheapest 3 series and not like our salaries raised that much. Can't even imagine how it is for someone working less paying job and having 2 or more kids.
@@thedriver5462 you gotta manage your expenses lol. With a combined salary of over 100K you can easily afford making a montly payment of any car worth 50K or more. Some of my friends make 60k a year and drive brand new Silverados lol
Love the intro tune! Did you make it? CZcamsrs everywhere love their [Upbeat pop music] so it's refreshing to hear something different.
I used to make the music, too much work so now I license the tracks.
Almost a Country Music Award winning video!
I've got a 17 and I just turned over 210,000 mi still on the original engine original transmission original timing chain I don't have any clatter from the phasers or the tensioners although I do plan on doing the timing chain soon just to make sure that I can take this vehicle for another hundred plus thousand miles
very good review - thanks.
hey, i own the 2018 expy, the B&O system is pretty tight in my opinion. B&O was hired to tune the sound system and place the speakers. I guess i'd have to listen to what the lincoln has in it to know better, but my sound system is superb for me. Could use some more wattage and more capable subwoofer. Surround is more spacious and sweet, than stereo.
Been looking for something suitable for camping. You could fit a rooftop tent on this as well as sleep inside with 2nd and 3rd row down. If you get an XLT trim, more in the range of $50k. With people trying to avoid hotels and airplanes due to COIVID 19, this might gain more interest.
This thing costs more than the median income of most households in the US and is still full of plastic and that infotainment looks to be from 2012! Jesus Christ, it’s like an economy car that forces you to pay 80,000. Even the base price of 57,000 is too much for all the plastic and outdated tech
Silly question - what's the intro song? Great video, too dude
I happen to own an excursion myself, it’s just over 200,000 miles and runs amazing. It’s got that big ole v10 that you can’t buy anymore in a truck. With a small tune and keeping up with maintenance we have never had a problem with it. Honestly it runs better and feels more put together than any of the new vehicles I’ve test driven recently. We will never get rid of it as long as that car lives, which is hopefully forever. Only thing I will say though, is that it’s so heavy you have to be careful with breaks or you will warp them like no tomorrow. Had to switch to ceramic breaks to avoid that problem lol. Anyways, with these outrageous truck and car prices it would be difficult to justify buying a new truck like this expedition that costs 85,000$ when mine is still in perfect working condition. Though I do happen to like the new expedition, I just feel that they are too expensive these days it’s only gonna get worse. Awesome review though!
Jesus! $30K in options?! FML! Did I see BTBAM on the radio?! My man didn't know you were into that good shit! \M/

Great video Savage! Yup this is a great looking capable, roomy , true SUV but way out of my price range and needs. The ultimate soccer moms car, lol.
1:58
+1 Respect for listening to Between the Buried and Me :)
Gt500 inspired rotary shifter 😂
Could you comment on the headlights? Ford in general has poor rated lights by IIHS, and as someone who drives a ton at night on country roads, lights is a critical consideration. Thanks!
Will you be doing a car review on the 2018 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T anytime soon?
The TT v6 so far has proven somewhat reliable. Should be even more now since it has dual injection .
At 5 years old now, considering the depreciation, these things are quite a tempting value proposition compared to the suburban which inexplicably costs much more at similar age and mileage. I’ve seen very nice 1 owner 4x4 max limited examples with great maintenance records selling for around 40k.
With a warranty you’d be buying a solid used vehicle
For those that are worried about the price you'll probably see 20gs in discounts in the future etc. Fords known for rebates on rebates. Not a knock just the truth. Beautiful truck
Is the Max Girth edition above the Platinum trim?
Good video review.
What is the intro music called?
Max Edition needs more piano black plastic. Thanks for v2. You're a good man!
I heard on the radio just this morning that Ford GM and Chrysler have an excess of unsold SUVs.
Look for massive (and appropriate) discounts.
Hello @savagegeese please do some BMW reviews such as M240i, new Z4 and M850i, would like to see these underpinnings
I love the channel, but I guess nobody can make a video about a Ford Expo that I'll find interesting enough watch all the way through. Well, perhaps Pelagea ASMR could.
Another BTBAM shot, I love it. You going to see them in Milwaukee?
Probably wont make it. Saw them two years ago though
Wow, a positive Ford review. I’m surprised, then I looked at the comments and there’s all that Ford hate.
3:15 a limo company would get the MAX version for taking six people and their cargo to the airport for a two week vacation. I had to do that in an Escalade ESV and we packed that thing to the gills with almost no room remaining.
So it does have multi port?
Geese do you like transmissions like these are the future... In one way these transes have much aggressive primary gears and sometimes 4/5 overdrive ratios that results in better acceleration, fuel eco, better towing in steep inclines etc..... You said gear hunting that's a serious let down with this trans as well as Acura's... Is that a programming issue?
Looked like sub-6 0-60. That's damn fast for huge SUV
Country’s Donuts in Crystal Lake!!! Only the best donuts in the midwest.
was the navigator v1?
These were always called the "Texas Lexus" by my friend in Austin. It would be surprising to know what % of these are sold in Texas - I do remember seeing them EVERYWHERE. Might explain why they would forgo more winter friendly tires.
I think I read somewhere that almost 1/3 of all Expeditions sold are sold in Texas alone.
Texans must be a naturally wasteful and stupid people, then.
@@freepadz6241 yep...
Does Bendpak actually make...well...benders?
What is that intro music, it sounds like good study music IMO
As I asked in V1, what is the intro song please? You used to credit the music.
He stopped creditig the music as people would steal it and claim the copyright and he would get flagged for infringement
was waiting for Neil Young to start singing
How does this compare to the Suburban? I found that to be crazy bouncy and wishy washy
why is the drive line and axles so rusted ?
If I were to get this itd be a fully loaded 65k fx4, but Id still have a really hard time justifying that over a similarly spec’d F150 and saving $15k (5k from msrp difference + 10k from typical half ton truck discounts and incentives)
10:20 👀Such a massive vehicle, perched upon that 2-post lift! All fail-safe mechanisms/systems better in good working order for you to stand comfortably under all that metal. 😳
well very rarely di you guys give so much less negatives to a machine, so well done Ford
Man that intro was so effing MURICA. 🇺🇸
This was re-uploaded because Ford wasn't satisfied with how Max Girth V1 didn't exceed 200.5 cubic inches.
V2!?
"Oh, yes, yes yes yes" I'm already laughing 45 seconds in
Right on brother !!
I thought the Expedition was not selling good since I didn't see it in NYC but they been driving the new Lincolns around Gradually.
Why the hell is there surface rust on the 2019???
When are going to do a CRV review?
thank you faisal (فيصل)
Very logical and scientific video.
Ford Expedition VS Lincoln Navigator?
I want one but, I don't see $80,000 worth of metal or a use to justify this over a van.
Agreed, I would get the Chrysler Pacifica if I want a high end multi passenger vehicle.
For an all terrain 4x4 for cargo hauling and towing I'd just get a baseline F-150 or Dodge Ram.
@@roya.cathcartjr.5042 But what if you wanted both... in the same vehicle... that is what this is. With some trade-offs of course.
@@jcpoiuy if you want both in the same vehicle unless you need something the size of the Ford Expedition the two oldest tried and true Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) that are going on 60 years old are the Land Rover and it's counterpart the Range Rover and the Jeep Wagoneer and it's counterpart the Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee.
Essentially the same size as the Chevrolet Trailblazer and the Ford Explorer the Rovers and the Jeeps had more years to perfect their vehicles and earn customer satisfaction.
The Rovers and the Jeeps have both been used by Military and Law Enforcement and performed well in extreme conditions.
@Peder Hansen with Chrysler Corporation their vehicle lines from the bottom up were Dodge Division were generally baseline the mid level step upwards was the Plymouth Division before that division was shut down with the government bailout and the flagship luxury line was Chrysler.
Before the 1960's their were four Divisions of the Chrysler Corporation with Chrysler being the Flagship Luxury brand Dodge and Plymouth were Midtrim Level lines on par with each other and DeSoto was the Baseline inexpensive models which fell out of favor with consumers who could get a similar looking Dodge model slightly better equipped for just a little more money.
The Chrysler Pacifica is the 2017 Flagship Luxury Minivan replacement for the Town and Country discontinued in 2016 the Chrysler Voyager is the mid-range replacement of the discontinued Plymouth Voyager Minivan and rounding out the bottom is the Dodge Caravan and it's slightly more optionally equipped Grand Caravan.
The GrandCaravan is comfortable and they're everywhere. Just picked one up with 39,000 miles around ~15k.
What happened to Turbowski????
Surprised Jim Hackett didn't get in this thing and put some of his design background into it. Give some pointers at least. Functionality trumps that I guess.
Props to ford for the cassette tape player on he back of the center console
That's not a tape player. It's a small screen.
Kent nooo
What’s different about this one ?
Haha thought I saw this already
New model year I guess?
@@vincentlee9638 more like new day model
The ending, on the previous video he said it was direct injection only, but he corrected it in this video as one of the commenters from the previous video pointed out that it had both direct and port injection just like the Navigator.
Ro0ster yea. 👍 it’s the same 3.5 as the normal f-150 so makes sense.
This channel needs more Toddd.
nice, a GT500 inspired shift knob
Intro music please
