Rented an Expedition Max 2 summers ago for a cross country vacation with 4 adults & 2 kids. It was awesome, great room, great power & ride. MPG averaged around 19 MPG after 5000+miles.
The Sequioa went a step further with the previous generation, the rear glass went down like a window. Sad to see it gone for 2023. The rear glass still lifts though.
Grown man here and I find the Expedition a little too big. A co-worker drives one and she loves it. Higher spec models are very posh and loaded with convenience. If the current version of Sync allows climate control that would be one way of overcoming the no buttons or dials issue. Any inside info on the Fusion Active? 🙂 Always enjoy you guys.
the door keypad is such a great feature that I wish other brands had. That said - the way it is implemented on this (stealth) is great 90% of the time - but the other 10% is an issue. I got caught out in a parking lot in a massive rain storm in a flex where water was almost going to reach the doors . . . and in pouring rain it would not read the button press. I was able to wipe my fingers on my belly (had a rain coat) and after a few times of trying this , it let me in.
We have a 2013 expedition EL limited and absolutely love it. I love the new ones too. But we got ours used and it’s paid for. The sticker on ours was 54k fully loaded. For that same model today it would be over 80k and I would lose the V8 we currently have.
@@matthewm3912 which turbo era are you talking? I drove a little 2008 TDI that had zero issues. Modern turbo engines are just as reliable. Yeah the V8 is a simpler engine but is not much of an advantage any more.
"I usually go with the human head test" :) I like the styling. The hinged rear window is great if you have a bike rack on the back. "Child party bounce house of full sized SUVs."
If you want cargo space get the Expedition Max. Remember that you can only use that car seat installed tilt if you have your seats installed with LATCH. If you are using the seat belt like is recommended for many convertible seats you will not be able to tilt the seat. That being said we have three kids in car seats in the expedition Max and love it. Bench seat is a must if you have three in car seats that cannot buckle themselves reliably. This giant car drives like a smaller car in my opinion when compared with other full sized suvs like the suburban and Yukon XL.
I really want to know who can afford a $75,000 SUV. Those are just some crazy numbers. My wife and I are both college educated and fully employed and we would never dream of buying a car this expensive.
It really is insane… especially now- with taxes it’s basically 100k. Our family makes a good amount and even then affording a gas guzzling SUV near 100k with extremely high msrkups n high interest rate is not touchable. You have to be taking in 500k+ a year. We make a bit above half that n modern prices are too much when having other family expenses
That console setup in the Expedition is what I'd like to see trickle down to the Explorer. The Telluride has a similar setup, and I believe that it's one of the reasons people would choose the Telluride over the Explorer (though the Explorer has better crash test scores)--an well thought out interior.
@@clearcut6818 Which is bad, since it's still a seller for Ford; you'd think with the Telluride/Palisade competition, they'd takt it seriously, but they're resting on their fleet sales laurels, I suppose.
My wife is 5'4" and she doesn't like the adjustable pedals on my F150. Although it can get closer to the driver, it also come up higher. So she cannot drive with her heel on the floor.
Another fine review. I think it would be interesting if you could follow this up soon with something directly comparable, like the new Chevy Suburban (classic Ford vs. Chevy competition) or the Lincoln Navigator (same platform, how does it differ?). Or maybe someday you could attempt a comparison review video? The family could weigh in with their preferences, etc.
We've got a Toyota Sequoia review coming very soon. In it we'll hit on some of the advantages and disadvantages versus the Expedition. But you're right, a proper comparison could be interesting.
@@MicahMuzio BTW, this was yet another case where I have virtually zero interest in this particular vehicle, but I so enjoy your videos that I'll watch it anyway! The Sequoia will be the same.
I currently have a Town & Country and it works to tow my 19ft boat but I will be in the market for something that can tow more and hopefully a camper. The full size SV’s seem to be the answer that will allow family seating as well. Can I afford a used one and the gas? Not so sure.
I used to drive a 2000 expedition and always marveled at how small it’s turning circle was for the size of the vehicle! I’m glad that is still the case. By the way, I love the Isuzu VehiCROSS t-shirt Micah 😃
Average car price now is $48k. Average house price now is $400k. So it’s been a while since you bought your house, or you live in a really affordable area. 🤷🏼♂️
Love your videos! Was really excited for the Sequoia but I'm afraid it just can't compare to the domestics in this category. I have been looking at Yukon XL but didn't realize the Expedition was competitive! I'll be looking into it for sure. Thank you!
@Michael-hi5xt I bought a 2023 Yukon Diesel. Ford was great but fuel economy stole the show. I get 27 mpg on the highway with a full car load of people, dogs and gear.
@@MicahMuzio great, thanks. I know its a great vehicle but want see your comments as well. I like watching your videos as it is not by a single person but a family review.
8 seat version is the most family friendly SUV on the market. waiting for PHEV and than ev option with mega power box. if that happen, please Ford send it to Europe

Love having a lift glass option. Hate that a lot of manufacturers did away with it.
Agreed. Our 2017 Highlander has the lift glass, we use it, and the new version highlander doesn’t 👎🏻
The Sequioa went a step further with the previous generation, the rear glass went down like a window. Sad to see it gone for 2023. The rear glass still lifts though.
Had an Expedition. Loved it. Traded in for Escalade. Talk about pricing. 🙄 Will get Expedition again.
I have always liked large SUV and the Ford Expedition is right up there as one of my favorites . Great review as always, thank you.

Yeah it's too big. Maybe if I had 3 kids with car seats, but am Explorer is just enough for me.
The whole family dynamics are just wholesome.
You guys make the best reviews. Truly!! Keep it up.
That's very kind of you to say. Cheers!!

This is why I love when folks share their real world experiences. I wouldn’t have guessed rain would be an issue.
@@MicahMuzio With smart key, locking may be an issue at times, the touch spot does not let you lock the car when it is wet
THIS is 100% accurate - I have a 21 Explorer with the same touchpad and in Arizona direct sun, it fails about 30-40% of the time.

You lose the V8 rumble but modern V6 are just fine though.
@@makatron eh, ill take the repair cost on the 5.4 V8 over a failing twin turbo V6 any day.

I like these. If I were to get a camper or travel trailer this would be perfect for my family of five.

The answer is, people who can afford it. Although college is important, it’s basically just a paper diploma and debt.

A++ on the lifting back glass! So easy!
Nice video! Love those SUV's
Ford should offer this with a hybrid...and make it standard. They already have the F-150 powerboost, why not put that power train in the Expedition?
IRS has been standard since third gen, way back in 2008.
@ 1:07 Se7en 2.0: "What's in the center console?" "What's in the center console??"
This is awesome. I feel like I'm watching the house hunter show for cars.
When will Ford offer a hybrid engine in the Expedition??

The Telluride has a similar setup, and I believe that it's one of the reasons people would choose the Telluride over the Explorer (though the Explorer has better crash test scores)--an well thought out interior.
Explorer is by Ford's B team, it will never be as good as A team vehicles like the Mustang, F-150 and Expedition.

OMG, your daughter is just ADORABLE, Muzios!! Bigger than outer space!!!
Obviously I think she's the best. But it's nice to hear that other people appreciate her too. :)
My wife is 5'4" and she doesn't like the adjustable pedals on my F150. Although it can get closer to the driver, it also come up higher. So she cannot drive with her heel on the floor.
That steering wheel is enormous
Looks like Micah is driving a bus. 😅😆
I wish you get get the base 12" landscape screen on the top trims as a 17" portrait screen delete option.
100% this
So much to love about the expedition but maintenance costs are high. I would not recommend buying without warranties.
Beautiful family. Cute baby girl is growing 😊
I drove one of these new expeditions a couple months ago, they feel and handle like smaller cars compared to the older models.
Evie can u do the magnetic sunglasses thing again 😹
Micah despite its age it’s still way better than the most catastrophic suv redesign to date, AKA the Toyota sequoia
Even Micah was like, "the Nissan Armada is probably a better competitor to the Expedition than the Sequoia"
Excellent review guys!😸
*Evie peacefully trying to go about her day*
Micah: Sweetie, can I give you a trim recommendation? 🧍♂️

Still loving my 2000 Expedition 213k miles
really nice SUV, but I'm not a fan of the enormous tablet. I'd prefer my HVAC controls to be physical.
My Sunday morning chore ❤
Nice SUV, but is it reliable?
$53k base, $75k as equipped for a Ford Expedition.
My house was $85.
In what year??
Average car price now is $48k.
Average house price now is $400k.
So it’s been a while since you bought your house, or you live in a really affordable area. 🤷🏼♂️
@@rustlesee i bought a 3 br foreclosure in ny state for 85k ( it was 120k appraised at the time)

Happy holidays!!!
Would love to see a review of the Jeep Wagoneer! Thanks!
It's still several weeks out but we have a Wagoneer on our schedule. We're looking forward to checking it out!
@@MicahMuzio looking forward to it!
What about the Max?
Love the power pedals, it's the only way My sweety could drive a vehicle this large, are you listening GM?
Love your videos! Was really excited for the Sequoia but I'm afraid it just can't compare to the domestics in this category. I have been looking at Yukon XL but didn't realize the Expedition was competitive! I'll be looking into it for sure. Thank you!

@Michael-hi5xt I bought a 2023 Yukon Diesel. Ford was great but fuel economy stole the show. I get 27 mpg on the highway with a full car load of people, dogs and gear.
Yeah the Tahoe looks better to me overall. The RST fits my needs
Wait where did you get your shirt 😊
Also our 2013 has independent rear suspension, it’s not new.
I am not sure how I misremembered the Expeditions rear suspension history but I appreciate you correcting my mistake. Cheers!!
I think the Expedition was the first body on frame SUV to have an independent rear suspension with the 2nd generation.
can you do a review of GX460?
I'll see if I can get one scheduled.
@@MicahMuzio great, thanks. I know its a great vehicle but want see your comments as well. I like watching your videos as it is not by a single person but a family review.

You're very kind, Scott. Cheers!!

I like it honestly, and im a chevy fan
Aww her face at 3:44

Im supporting with my comment!
And we appreciate your support! 🙌
8:58 LOL, just give us the digital rearview mirror already that you can buy for $150 on Amazonfor a $50k car.
Of course Micah likes this vehicle, he's 10 ft 6 inches..... who wouldn't like it when your that tall 😏
I'd like a 4 row SUV where the 4th row can just hold my Popeye's bags and Big Gulps.
Thanks!
I just saw this. Thanks supporting our channel!!
What color is this Expedition?
Blah Blue
It's last years model, why do it now?
It's the Expedition Ford has in its press fleet. And the 2023 is essentially unchanged.
It's so nice to see you out on the town with your mom and your daughter. Quality
Lol
Perfect
$75,000! LOL
I didn't detect any fuel economy stats///
We included them in the Information Explosion. But, you're right, we didn't do a deep dive on fuel economy.
@@MicahMuzio No. I just wasn't paying attention. Apologies!
8:21 💀😮
This car still looks so so cheap inside. Just so much of it looks bad for how much it costs.
Doesn’t seem like you had any cons which leads me to believe you may be biased.
Needs 24 inch rims - the 22 inch look small
"It's so big!" #InnuendoIguana
The screen looks terrible
Expedition sucks! I have one without warranty guess who is paying the bill for the cam phasers!! Ford suck run away from ford.
