best comparison review I've ever seen. and I mean for any product.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! We'd love for you to suscribe if you haven't already!
I totally agree. Very knowledgeable about both vehicles including the different rear suspension which causes a huge difference in the third row seating. Most people would have missed that. I would have given the tahoe a full point for having the video in the second row due to the fact that the option for the Ford costs more that 2K to add it with the package. I also would have given the Tahoe at least half a point for having Onstar and the ability to do a lot of things with a phone app. Great review.
I am leaving a dislike on this video because:
It’s basically comparing a 2015 vehicle to a 2018 one
At some parts, you say the Ford is better at something u talk more about that one thing and it gained 2 points because of this
You use your personal opinion on 2 points on the Ford
You never realize how much Ford copies Chevrolet
The Chevy has a few things that it’s significantly better than Ford at and you only give it half a point when U give the Ford a full point for vise versa
You fanboy on Ford. I can tell by most of the problems above
NOTE:I will be exposing this video on my RUclips.
Mr. Box You're kidding right? Is it the reviewer's fault that GM hasn't does anything with the Tahoe since 2015? No. Is it Ford's? No.
This review may have flaws, but personal bias isn't one. The biggest one? The Tahoe itself.
What it boils down to is GM got caught with their pants down and the Expedition came to play. Same with the Navigator (They won't even provide an Escalade for some comparison reviews).
As for Ford copying GM, I'd love to have specifics. Considering Ford pioneered this segment with the Expedition, and Navigator, it's easy to argue that GM, in fact, copied Ford.
You sound a bit like a pissed off fan boy.
@@lray801 what it comes down to is Tahoe is the better vehicle but the reviewer is a Ford guy. Don't get me wrong, the Ford is great, but the Chevy is better. I know I'm going to get shit for saying that, but it's true. Ford has been just passing the crash test ratings in recent times, but reviews won't point that out.
$75,000... O my god. Prices going up on eveything but our pay per hour is still the same.
Yup, i feel like the regular car price hasnt gone up much but these suv prices been gone up at least 30,40 percent.
They're more expensive because pay per hour went up. You're just in the wrong industry
@@djayt1215 your mom and dad was paying your bills when you were in school. Your parents got you your first car also and I'm pretty sure of that. Me and my friends help each other built our own car. Pulling lots of engines from just yards. At age 15 and 16. Doing engine swap already at a young age. I miss my Honda street racing days. We had so many spair motors of that engine blows up.
Work harder. (Or just get a better job.) I'd never settle for my salary not increasing at least annually.
Well that comment didn't age well with today's inflation
You forgot to mention that fords middle seating slides and tilts to allow passengers to access the back if you have car seats strapped in. Nice feature
Expedition was in need of a major update and it finally got it
Bustin Justin Trebell it’s still needs more
@@mmctavish6666 lol get lost bro. You're just jealous that you can't beat the facts. Just face it and move on
@@mmctavish6666 it really does need more. Look at the styling. The tahoe is older and still more beautiful. Fords design team 👎👎👎
I Rent a Expedition 2018 for a month it was the best Ride I ever have and my kids loved is comfortable and relaxing for long trips 😎
Buy one and it will be comfortable while waiting for the tow truck
Andy's Shop GM is way worse
KaPThABaLLA well now see the new Tahoe and Yukon Denali and Escalade the Ford looks 10 years old compared to Tahoe
@@andybub45 That's a bunch of horse shit...!!! That GM will be needing FAR FAR more repairs.
Which luxurious $80,000 SUV do you prefer?? As always, PLEASE comment below, LIKE and SUBSCRIBE and turn on the notification bell!!! We appreciate ya watching!
Love the split screen comparison
I owned a few Chevy vehicles before and swore never to own a Ford but my 2017 Ford Expedition rental is changing my mind. The interior is really nice and more cock pit feel than the wide Tahoe and the rear seats are comfortable and actually have leg room instead of knees to face. The power is instant when you floor it with 470lbs of torque.
What a fantastic comparison!!!! Split screen makes a difference! Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much Leo!
Best comparison ever! Great Job!
Thank you so much! We appreciate that!
I choose to like the Expedition because of those LED tail lights and the hidden door handles just like the F-15O and it also has the electric running boards and a full panoramic sunroof
Expedition
Love your reviews!
Thanks for watching!!
You listed expedition torque rating at 400 and it’s really 475. Big difference
No he was right
It could be that the top trim is tuned for more horsepower
Excellent. Excellent comparison!!! I have a Tahoe now and am really considering the Expedition after test driving it a few days ago. It was AMAZING. I felt like MONEY in it!
Thanks! Good luck deciding!
Remember everyone there's a new Tahoe coming, the Expedition can barely contend with this one. GM is killing the game.
Ford will just make a new Expedition to beat the new tahoe anyways.
@@marcovalencia146 I don't think so, Ford never have and never will make an expedition that will contend with the Tahoe. GM owns that market.
@@lostfound34 But here's the thing, If ford makes good money with the Expedition and know they are capable of competing with GM they could continue to improve the Expedition. I understand your point though.
Expedition 👌🏿
wont last as long the Tahoe my friend. There are more tahoes from the 90's on the streets still running than there are expeditions.
There are plenty of fords still running from the 90's
Any car will be reliable if you take care of it.
Bryan Messer big facs
Till this day I'm still driving my 2000 5.4L V8 Expedition & I haven't had any sort of problems other than regular maintenance & a few upgrades like LED instead of regular bulbs, audio upgrades etc. Nothing serious. This car is very well taken care of. From bottom to top, inside & outside! I can say that I am a very proud Ford expedition owner.
No matter where I go, I'm always getting great complements from people when they ride in my Ford.
@@DJCARBON2012 Ford expedition from the 90s are good too they last for a long time
best review ive seen. great job.
Thanks Miguel! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
Another great review.
Thanks! 🙂
Great review.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Car Confections, great comparison! I'm curious about what GM will do for the next generation of their full size SUV trio.
@dodgeguy612 I guessing it will borrow heavily from the new Silverado in looks and parts. Maybe they'll decide to stick that amazing straight 6 duramax in their too
That was so unbelievable helpful. Having a hard time choosing between the Yukon SLT and the new Ford Expedition FX4...... Ford here i come. Great video. Thanks
Awesome! Glad to to hear it was helpful for you! Make sure, if you haven't already, to subscribe which is helpful to us! 😀
Best Comparison video! SUBBED!!
Fantastic! Thank you 🙂
What the security systems in both?
I like the Tahoe better, mainly for reliability. But I also like the interior better.
The fact that you edited your comment shows that you don't believe your own opinion
@@jimfocus3128 lol yeah , "reliability" you know GM produces chevy right 😂😂
I agree Chevy is very reliable . I’ve had a lot of experience with chevys .
WELL DONE!
Finally Ford made the Expedition better than GM Full sized SUV's 🔥
And GM is about to come out with a new Tahoe that will smack the expedition silly
@@andybub45 exactly. This brand new ford barely won. And the looks still didn't beat chevorlet
Andy's Shop+ I hope they change the 10 year old rear end design on the Tahoe, because HOLY SHIT they are ugly.
@@DeeeBeee123 You mean the Chevy with the pick-up truck looking interior and weird ass headlights? Or a different one?
Actually on the 2019 Ford Expedition has a heads up display now
Tbh, this isn’t really fair. The Tahoe showcased here is an older model, while Ford JUST came out with the Expedition in the video this year, so of course Ford had more time developing this and has better features than the Tahoe. Just wait tho, Chevrolet will probs come out with a better competitor to the Expedition. But all in all though both are beautiful SUVS and I’d love to own both one day 😁💯 But I love Chevys styling more so imma have to take the Tahoe LTZ 😁😆
I have very little hope considering the New Sierra and Silverado are huge let downs.
You were right! The 21 and up tahoes! The touchscreen is huge, the suspension is tight, doesn’t feel top heavy and no longer a shifter, it’s buttons!
Excellent Video, I think that the Tahoe look better in the Outside, but I think it's a best buy on the Ford Expedition.
Thank you.
One of the best comparisons I've ever seen on any car period. But you didn't talk about the roof racks
Since i'm waiting for my all new Suburban LTZ 7 seater, none of these trucks would be an option. But if i had to make one, the Thaoe would definitely rank the top.
You also miss that the Ford Expedition has a optional tilt and intrusion sensor not like on the thaoe wich is only have a tilt sensor and a rear glass sensor and aswell mosion inior sensor but the ford has a tilt sensor a glass sensor and also a intoir sensor and a locking glove box and center console when the alarm is actuvaded
Expedition
More power
Better looks
Better performance
Better interior
Better looks 🤢🤮 no newer, yes.
More power...yes, exterior looks is a tie; I prefer the looks and quality of the tahoe, and the tahoe seems to get way better mileage than advertised
Disagree on the looks but the Ford looks better all around
The expedition has a way better interior. The 3rd row seat beats all of its competitors due to the floor not being raised like in GM’s SUV’s
Independent rear suspension goes a long way! For better ride and comfort!
Agree about the 3rd row. Disagree about the interior. The plastics in the expedition felt thin , cheap, and scratched easily. The exterior paint also seems to scratch easily
The expedition looks longer than the tahoe
@@marufio because it is she is comparing the max Expedition to the standard Tahoe
I’m still so torn on which one to get. I’ve watched this and other videos several times. Both have their pros and cons.
Expedition-
Panoramic sun roof
Black interior is easier to find
Suspension seems stronger
Shifter knob is nicer
Key code
Chevy
Heads up display
V8! No cam phasers issue
Looks way better
The touchscreens, shifter buttons ans suspension on the new ones (21 and up) are just perfect but the price!!
That the best comparaison IV ever seen
Glad you liked it! 👍
For me personally, I understand why Ford went with the Ecoboost due to fuel efficiency reasons and also give more power (based from the stats) with the use of Turbos. For the size, it really needs a V8 and I have to say that I am going with the Tahoe for this reason. Plus, the Tahoe and the Suburban comes with the RST package which will come with a 6.2L V8 (Truck version of the LT1) that produces 20 more hp than the platinum Expedition and comes with a Borla exhaust which gives it a nice pronounced V8 growl.
DaNihselAuto drive them back to back. The ford is faster, more efficient, handles MUCH better and tows/hauls more. The V8 in the Chevy sounds better but it’s a 60 year old design and has been out of date for decades.
narebman The only reason they are fast is because of the amount boost it produces from the turbochargers. Plus I discussed the Ecoboost engine in one of my videos on a 2017 Expedition how, yes it's fast but thats from the turbos spooling up and giving out boost which isn't really true power from an actual naturally aspirated engine compared to the Tahoe's 5.3L and 6.2L V8. Plus, you can talk all you want on how out-dated the small block V8 engine is in Tahoe, but it is the most reliable engine in the market and easiest engine work on from a mechanics and car guys stand point. You can do anything with a small block V8. I have driven a TTV8 and only reason it got the power is because of the boost from the turbos. The negative side of the Ecoboost and the Expedition is that there is no boost gauge and every car guy knows when you have a forced induction engine, a boost gauge is a must. Sorry, my decision hasn't change. However, if Ford keep their 6.2L Engine like in their first gen raptors and did more updating, then that would be something to discuss about. In the mean time, Ford is out of the competition at this point and went a new direction to please the environmentalist.
DaNihselAuto saying it’s not true power from a naturally aspirated engine because it’s not a naturally aspirated engine is sort of like saying left isn’t truly left because it isn’t right. Of course not. Naturally aspirated and forced induction are different, but fast is fast. You’re right that you can take a small block Chevy to a good tuner and tell them how much power you want and they can just give you a bill and get it there. Tons of mods available. But then if you really want a boost gauge you can get that too. If you just like a small block Chevy that’s cool. It’s got a lot of good things going for it, but it’s still old and I don’t think there are too many people tuning their full size truck based suvs for max acceleration anyway. Most reliable?! No. If you want most reliable go to Honda or Toyota; they’ve got ford and Chevy beat.
"it’s still old and I don’t think there are too many people tuning their full size truck based suvs for max acceleration anyway"
You haven't been exploring RUclips that much. You should look up Modded Sierras and Silverados (where the Tahoe is based from the same platform). It can be done.Better yet people have cammed a truck before. Over time, people will be modding their SUVs in no time since they are more focused on family but don't want to give up their performance car DNA.

"Most reliable?! No. If you want most reliable go to Honda or Toyota; they’ve got ford and Chevy beat."
Ok, When I mean reliable, I was doing a comparison between the Ford Ecoboost vs the LS small block. Should have been more specific since this video is about the Ford vs Chevy which was mainly the point of my comment.
DaNihselAuto you don't need a boost gauge. Only reason you'd need one is if you turned the boost up and needed to monitor it. Oh, and power is power no matter how it's made.
I drove both was a tough decision but I ended up buying the tahoe premier and I'm not disappointed I'm very happy with it and imo it looks way better than the Ford by a long shot and I like the suspension better the magnetic ride control it handles like a sports car
Don't understand why people need backup camera if you know how to drive you wouldn't need them all this technology in these cars are making people worst drivers they have no type of connection with their vehicles learn to drive with without all of this stuff. Just think when that stuff starts to fail the car is going to go haywire and you not going to be able to go anywhere or end up getting yourself into an accident
Derick Martin People know how to drive, but when they spend that much money on these full size SUVs, they want the luxury of the cameras and sensors. Its not making people bad drivers, its simply assisting them and giving them what they paid for.
The Anchovies I understand that but still.... people have all this tech and still can't park with the cameras and sensors. I see it everyday. Smh
Derick Martin Some people are just assholes. You’ll see that with every car.
The Anchovies alot are
Big facts. Real drivers don't need cameras.
Lets face it guys the ford expeditión is better
I prefer the tahoe, but all i know is that both are much better than crossovers.
I hate crossovers so much
Good one boys, keep em up!!!!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
EXPEDITION GANG!
At the end of the day, you buy the one that suits you!
the engines maybe similar in performance and mpgs at sea level but all that changes when you start driving them in elevated regions where fords, twin turbo 3.5l, v6 starts to really come into play over the non turbo, 5.3 v8, gm engine.
SteelCity1981 then put on some turbos on the 5.3 and release all the bald eagles
Similar in performance until you drive both and feel the gigantic difference, the 5.3 feels sluggish at best
Not like I'll ever be able to afford either of these, but yeah, you did a great job with this video.
Thanks!
Had a 2008 Tahoe but my lil kids got too big and we traded for a 2010 expedition which had more leg room. the Ford cargo space was also better than the Chevy. The Tahoe was a better drive than my expedition. Would go back to a Tahoe when my kids leave the nest
Great comparisons but I wish they would have done a regular expedition not the max. would have made the price and turn radius more comparable but other than that its great
Thanks! Just wanted to let you know that all the numbers cited in the video are indeed for the regular sized Expedition, for fairness sake.
Gotcha! I saw that with the cargo but I wasn't sure on the comparisons as far as turn radius, price ect... but thanks for clarifying!
But the seating on 3rd row seat is way different on shorter wheelbase Expedition. One you have compares to Suburban and not Tahoe.
My wife and I rented an Exhibition Max for 4 days and it's nothing but the truth. Huge but amazingly easy to drive.
THE BEST COMPARATION THANKS FORD IS GO EXPEDITION THE BEST..FOREVER.
Tahoe is the best
@@andybub45 its really not the Tahoe is overly dated
@@andybub45 It was the best. Not anymore though!
Well now the Ford is outdated compared to the new Tahoe
My XR was $755 for a phone and while I was on a spending spree I was going for a expedition but when I got the price tag of $76,573 I was like see ya and stocked with my 2001 impala which I would like to say is a good cheap car
I like the 2018 Ford expedition. We have a 2014 e l XLT...... lost our 2001 due to heavy fog..... had an opportunity to rent a 2017 Chevy Tahoe; now I'll give you this the Tahoe was pretty comfortable sitting when you were sitting upfront or in the middle row; but the back was too claustrophobic; plus you didn't head legroom; and when you corner in the truck it always felt like it was about to tip over( I guess top heaviness) but when we bought a 2014 expedition it just hug the road more. The weight difference was very obvious the Tahoe was much much lighter and that was good just not when you were going around curves. The take-off is phenomenal in both trucks!! My wife parents are up in age and my grandmother. Sometimes we take them out on weekend rides and they all agree that the EL XLT is very comfortable and tailor fitted!!; haven't had a chance to try out the 2018 expedition but I hope they stuck to those riding qualities that the 2014 possessed are improved on it....
Its the independent rear suspension and the highly engineered chassis that the Expedition possesses allowing it to have good performance and handling.
I have a 2018 Suburban LS, my 5th Suburban over 20 years. Before I owned all the high end luxury cut model versions. I was looking at the 2018 Premiere model. Nice ride just too much on price! I drove the LS. I was surprised how much it had vs. the Premiere. GMAC gave me a great deal and I haven’t been happier with a Suburban.
I remember a few friends with the early Expeditions, what a nightmare those cars were from the beginning! Now Ford wants us to believe their 6 cylinder will some how make it better! No thanks! I’ll stick with my tried and true!
LOL you got the poor man’s LS tahoe 😂
Legendary expedition back
“Secret weapon” that everyone knows about at this point
Both Companies Should Increase The Life Of The Engines Not The Prices
GM is known for having long lasting powertrains
the tahoe gets 2 points for a 3% price difference but the expedition doesn’t get any for a 5% fuel economy difference? what 😂
Sorry but the back of the Tahoe and suburban look wAyyy batter than the expedition
You must be around Richmond KY I knew it when I seen the Madison county ford licenses plate haha
You know it 👍! Nice to hear from a local!
@@CarConfections I've got a 2015 Chrysler 300s AWD fully loaded if you would possibly be up for a review on it
Ford has always offered a superior SUV especially after the 2003 redesign that gave us IRS, PowerFold seats etc. features that the GM triplets either just got or still don’t have. But somehow I still manage to see the GM SUVs outnumber the Expy when in public, do people purchase the GM triplets for the “looks” ?!? The 03-17 Expeditions were ahead of their time.
You are so on point my friend the ford is been a better suv for a long time
GM tends to offer better packaging and their powertrains have a track record of being reliable, cheap to maintain, and delivering better than advertised fuel economy
The Tahoe’s screen took forever to turn on
Expedition #1
The subrauan doesn’t look cheap the expedition does and the interior of the Chevy looks good fords look cheap
Definitely the Expedition
❤ Chevy Tahoe ❤
The Tahoe will still sell more
Yup
Shouldn't it be Suburban vs Expedition? And Tahoe vs Bronco?
What?
I might be biased to ford because I’m such a fan but it definitely takes the lead here
I think the front of the expedition looks better then the Tahoe bit the Tahoe looks better inside and out from there
I would get a Denali.... It just looks better
Khalid Alshammary sane. I love the new 2018 DENALI grille
I would just get the Escalade or the Navigator. 😉😎
I love the leg room in the Ford , but driving a “ fix or repaid daily “ vehicle , just cannot do it. Our Tahoe had over 150,000 miles and still going strong. Very little time in the shop. But regardless of what vehicle you buy, regular service is a must. And I am a firm believer in 87 plus octane for fuel.
Nad Farg Our rental tahoe broke down with 6k on it. The engine was shaking extremely violently and struggling to start, all the fords my family have owned have lasted 300 to 500k with minimal issues.
Ford's reliability is much better. Do your homework. The 5.3 is not a good engine. Valve train is problematic
Puff the Magic Dragon A rental lol rental cars get abused a lot and you don’t know it if it was your personal cars I’ll believe you but I’ll say the same thing about a Chevy they last a long time
Gmony907 Agreed, at the end of the day, both ford and gm are making great cars now. My one experience doesn't speak for everyone.
280k on my Ford..... no problems other than an Alternator so I can not complain at all!
Tahoe has flex fuel and really burns way less
$80,000 is INSANE for a vehicle... I bought a top of the line Tahoe LTZ in 2009 for $50K
Inflation!
It's all going to come down to personal preference. They both are nice vehicles but for me, the better mileage range and the overhead rear entertainment system sold me on the Tahoe.
What about the suburban
I'm a die-hard Chevy man but , I have to admit . The v6 engine the Ford offers and the little known flaw the Tahoe and suburban has , being the footrest block for the left leg , not allowing for full leg extension is the deal breaker for me . I'm a big guy , and I need the leg room .
The Ford just has a more comfy ride because it doesn't have that left foot block rest uneven with end of the driver side floor panel
I don't understand why Chevy does this . I love the Impala but , that left leg footrest sticks out and makes me put my left foot to close to brake pedal . I have to do this to even out my left leg with my right while I'm driving . I don't get the thinking behind this at all .
Do they think leveling out both legs near the brake and gas pedal will cause people to mistakenly drive with two feet ? Is this supposed to be a way of stupid proofing their vehicles ?
It’s not fair comparison you got to choose the small size expedition because it will be different on mpg at least and cheaper so the two points in the beginning and I’ll go to Ford
I like the Tahoe/Suburban better. But I wish police and secret service would use the Expedition police/service model more.
Its always suburbans in secret service for an example, such as the president.
so i feel like the expedition is the overall better vehicle but i like how the tahoe looks so much more. i'd probably buy the tahoe.
I'd choose the Expedition 1OO%
Unfair comparison. This Expedition came out a few weeks ago and this Tahoe came out a few years ago.
@@mattX5 year means nothing, its generation that does. This Tahoe came out with the 2014-2018 Silverado, this expedition comes out with the 2015-current f150
@@mattX5 when the next Tahoe comes out will be the comparable generation with this expedition
yeah your right
IMO, Ford over Chevy in almost all cases. Bravo on the simultaneous 2 screen review. Very well done, as always.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
These $75,000 suvs are just not worth the money. I'm sorry, but adding a little more leather and sensors doesn't Constitute a $30,000 increase in price from previous years. Furthermore, if you need a 360° camera to park any vehicle. You shouldn't own one. 😂
Just say you can't afford it...be Honest
I love that chime that comes on when u turn on the expedition. The chevy chime seems so basic
Same the ford chims are the best its better then the chevy and better the the fca chims
Who cares
@@andybub45 We do because it gives the vehicle a fancy and special feel everytime you start it up!
You think the chevy chime is so basic
Then listen to the 2021 suburban chime and then you'll say NOPEEEEE!!!
How about
Expedition, and Tahoe?
Damn your stupid
Now, that's time to compare new tahoe vs expedition.
The exped. Max has the bigger 3.5 V6
Here is a good tip. If you’re buying a Tahoe get a suburban and same for the expedition
Expected
I will stay with my 06 Tahoe z71 not the news ones
Love gm to death but Ford takes this
yeah I know ford offers more tech, but in reality GM will far outlive the ford...
D Tay I think they should compare them again when the new Tahoes come out in about a year
Nah, they will last on average the same...
DJCARBON2012 lol that’s funny cos it’s not true. When I worked in auto sales, the only used vehicles I heard horror stories about (two of them were to friends) were GM vehicles. I couldn’t talk them into anything else either. They were die hard Chebby people like you. It doesn’t impress anyone when you can’t do anything because you are working on replacing your transmission, so your busy, car isn’t working, and you have no money.
Alex Stelling Chevy just sucks cock. Those crappy cars just always break down
I was gonna get really pissed off if he compared the Expedition Platinum to the Tahoe Premier because those two models are not at the same level. The Platinum and the Denali are.
Dam the Tahoe is still simple I’m super impressed with the ford good job ford
What people brag about in the Exp. actually make it dangerous. And that’s the independent rear suspension. I’m an Exp. owner that had Burb and Tahoe in the past and ready to go back.
Both are awesome and a total waste of money if you buy it new lol
In 2007 I had a brand new Suburban and someone T-boned me, I ended up with an Expedition as a rental and it was the worst piece of crap there was. Fuel economy was pitiful for the Expedition getting barely 18 mpg on ths highway while the 6,100 pound Suburban got 22. I guess alot had to do with the fact the Suburban had displacement on demand, switching from 8 to 4 cylinders at cruise. Steering, climate control, seating and throttle response was poor at best for the Ford where the Chevy was like riding in your living room and it hauled when the go pedal was pushed.
Vern Hoke this was also in 2007, they aren’t even based on the same frame. Both companies have changed 99% of themselves since then (mostly due to the economic struggle in 2008) this comparison of yours is irrelevant now as those vehicles have nothing in common with the 2018 models. Nice try though! 😉
It will haul you even without the pedal flattened
I had a zach Morris cell phone and it was big and heavy. Honestly the 07 expedition is nothing like today’s version. Drive them side by side and you will find the 5.3 is a dog. The ecoboost has serious power. My wife has an expedition and test drove the Tahoe because she likes the looks of the Tahoe better (her expy is a 2015) and the first thing she noticed was how slow the Tahoe is
80k for either one of them is highway robbery
Id just get the Escalade or the Navigator. 😉😎
Navigator all the way 1OO%
Tbh, I own a 2012 Ford Expedition XLT. It's a great work truck, no fancy wanxy wall-nut dash. Just a big ol' V8 and some toughness
Great review except for the fact that you did not compare comparable wheelbases. It would have been better had you compared storage space as a percentage of the overall wheelbase. As far as awarding 1 point for the twin turbo Ford, that's more stress on the engine and drive-train which equates to more repairs and higher cost to operate. Personally, while you get a few more horses from the Ford, that performance comes at a definite cost. I would have deducted at least 3 points for that.
The EcoBoost engine is designed and built from ground up to handle the increased stresses and pressures of forced induction. Virtually every semi running on the highways have turbos. Engineering has come a long way since turbos gained a reputation for failure. There are many Turbocharged engines out there with >200,000 miles and running strong.
I think the young guy's analytics were not as thorough as they could have been.
