Only Ford that I've owned that gave me transmission issue was my 1992 Ford Ranger and that's because it sat for a few years not ran thru and seals went bad. My 1997 Ford Taurus never gave us an issue, the 2007 F150 had cam phaser and spark plug issue but never stranded me, 2014,2012 F150 5.0 zero issues, 2014 F250 had a seat motor go out. But my 2015 F250 has had AC go out, backup camera fail, wheel bearing fail, 4WD actuator went out. But motor and Transmission have been great I think the 2015 was not maintained well before I got it and would of kept my 2014 F250 knowing what I know now. The Chevys in the family. 2001 Blazer AC went out twice, window motor broke, door hinges went out causing water to pour into the cab,rear axle went out 2015 Chevy Trax AC went out, 4high blower setting went out, turbo went out and lately it's leaking coolant with only like 80k miles. We will take Ford over Chevy any day.
I’m not a Ford dude and not a mechanic either, but Your mechanic review was not good. I do a lot of research and there’s more crap wrong with the 2019 Ford Expedition XLT than you can throw a stick at… There is not a sensor for the coolant level. You will damage the engine when the temperature alarm does come on. All the electrical wiring is loved by the rodents! There is not a large lower radiator deflector to prevent rocks from entering the bay. The heavy duty starter only looks heavy duty, hmmm! Plastic cover for the hitch is made cheap, but not cheap to replace. Plenty of videos to replace engine & cabin filters for $10 each rather than dealership doing them for $100 plus. There’s more, but live & learn.
Hi there, I can appreciate the review, but everything seemed to be "I believe it MAY be a problem" which is cool from a mechanic point of view, but have any of those "issues" you mentioned actually been an issue? If that makes sense? I've owned many different makes of vehicles and all have ups and downs, I have zero brand loyalty.
Thank you for reviewing, I'm a die hard Ford guy, but agree with you on the points of this vehicle. I would still buy this over a Suburban or Yukon. I love GM Cars though
??? You can literally look at your MPG on the info screen right in front of you. You may be a mechanic but you don't really know much about this vehicle.
The engine shut off at stops can be turned on or off. You don't need to get another car to get one that doesn't turn off.. Never had a Ford with a trans problem. My current F 150 has 219,000 miles on it and trans works great, and never changed the fluid and filter...Which is probably a mistake most people make. But I still intend to change it. If you're worried about electrical problems, GM has a lot of problems , especially Cadillac. Bottom line,,,they all have their share of issues.
well when I was a mechanic in a shop they were daily occurrences. and for many years after transmission issues. Trans shops I knew personally said ford was their biggest customer. Just saying.
Well another thing is that mechanics see the vehicles when they have problems. There might be a 2k more Fords without issues for every one that does. Perhaps people didn’t service the transmission on time. So many people only worry about her engine oil changes, if that.
They still didn’t fix phase cam phasers timing chains issues ? Same engine 3.5l eco came in 2011 , you would think they will fix this issues .. I like this car but that’s what keeps me not getting one
IMO ford seems to cut corners on stuff like that but makes lots of bells and whistles to sucker people in. Probably not fixed. even the 4.8l has timing chain issues. wont even last 200k miles before the tensioners wear out.
Nice review and thanks for bringing up the points to look out for potential buyers. I would like to know what other similar segment vehicles/brands would you recommend.
Nothing of what you did not like... was always.. a "I think it may be bad, fail, plastic tubes may be fail at some point.. Do you know or you just think it may fail...? Just saying...!!
Dude this is all speculation. My research shows GMC Denali has many reliability and quality issues. Your speculation of what might go wrong from a base model is you guessing.
My wife and I are considering a 7 passenger vehicle with storage such as an Expedition or Suburban. I have had two Ford's that have had catastrophic failures (engine block and transmissions)... both of which were recalled. We are still waiting for the Escape which had a defectively designed engine block. Estimated time to completion is over 6 weeks... I think I am done. owning Ford's for now. Maybe I will consider a 5.3 Suburban. Thanks for. the videos.
I think for the most part with some regular maintenance they should be good up to around 200k. but I would guess it would have some serious repairs to get that. Probably ok. The plastic is not very good quality on the engine components. That is why I say that.
Have a 2019 limited max drives fine up to 70mph anything after that I feel a vibration on pedals and through the seats. Alignment done and Tires balance twice. Any ideas what’s going on?
Land Cruiser would be immensely more reliable long term, most likely. It’s a much more expensive vehicle, in a luxury class even though Lexus has the LX570
You never mentioned the struts. They prematurely fail on the older and newer models of the Expedition. What you said was the truth: Ford makes crappy parts.
they always go with the cheapest. They never do like Toyota and try to make quality. Ford has done that right from the beginning. Even GM trys to make a better product. They dont always hit the mark but I think they are clearly better than ford. Just ford gives the bells and whistles people want to see.
Gotta say most of your remarks are not well thought out. You have a lot of “this might go bad’s”. And a lot of early 90’s thoughts. I hope you get one. All of us EB owners actually sink way less money into our autos. We have way better real power than suburbans. Easily way faster. Definitely driving through mountains is better. Honestly. Not much of your predictions have any merit, and that’s all this review was. In no way can other red white and blue products touch this. Maybe provide some real numbers instead of a looooong prediction.
other than Fords have had a long term track record of putting on all the bells and whistles getting your money to buy but have had countless issues. the list goes on for many decades. Buying on Bells and whistles has usually gone sour.
mikes random videos lmao you sure? Bc Scotty Kilmer has been a mechanic for 40+ years and he says Chevy is GARBAGE. So I’m not sure if imma watch the vid
@@connermcgarrah2171 yea that is one thing totally disagree with Scotty on. I agree with him on many things. Ford has always catered to the CHEAP....Since the beginning. Scotty is cheap so he fits right in there. His perspective on Toyota is right on, but he is weaker on Honda which honda since they dropped timing belts have been very good. Using chains make them much better for average people.
@@mikesrandomvideos from my dad owning 2 chevys 2 nissans and 1 ford the ford lasted the longest without major issues. Fords quality especially in the Mach E is amazing. Chevy's quality control needs some major restructure.
@@mikesrandomvideos Hey Mike, there are plenty of criticisms to be leveled against Ford. But you seem to be judging this base trim rental car against your biases from 1993. I think you missed the mark on this video particularly on the transmission, given the track record of the jointly designed Ford/GM 10 speed, and even more ironically GM is the one having problems. Again, plenty to criticize, but you’ve picked things that virtually all makes are doing and that ford is doing as well or better than others. If you don’t like plastic interiors, I suggest you rent a platinum next time.

The intake system for the engine has been plastic since gen 2 LOL. What a horrible video.
Review from a mechanic, right, more like a review from an Uber driver that’s never touched their car
@@rolandbenko 😂😂😂

2019 is still a “new” car though remember..
thank you for your comments and liking this one
Thank you for reviewing, I'm a die hard Ford guy, but agree with you on the points of this vehicle. I would still buy this over a Suburban or Yukon. I love GM Cars though
yea for sure both have their set of issues. the electronic shifter I think will be a problem
@@mikesrandomvideos I'll stick with my 2012 Ford Fusion SEL. I love that car.
Definitely not in the high 20s I’d say 20mpg would be good
Definitely is high 20s. I’ve hit 28 in my non tow package with 3.31 gears and 27mpg in max tow package 3.73s both on 500-1200 mile trips.
You live in Iowa? Is someone holding you against your will?
??? You can literally look at your MPG on the info screen right in front of you. You may be a mechanic but you don't really know much about this vehicle.
He's lying about being a mechanic. He has ZERO specific information.
It's getting more difficult to find a car that doesn't use a push button start nowadays.
The engine shut off at stops can be turned on or off. You don't need to get another car to get one that doesn't turn off..

I have owned several ford trucks and never had any major issues and never had any transmission issue that you spoke of 25 years.

@@mikesrandomvideos whats your opinion on fords 3.0 diesel?
Nice review and thanks for bringing up the points to look out for potential buyers. I would like to know what other similar segment vehicles/brands would you recommend.
GM toyota I think are designed better less issues.
He was off on a lot of things that isn’t true. B
I know because I’ve owned them and suburbans
@@mikesrandomvideostoyotas dont make large suv, not as expedition. So i guess you prefer GM
@@mikesrandomvideosGM has way more issues and sent built to last! Buying Gm is the same as buying Cadillac. Lmfao
i beg to difer because most vehicles have mechanical concerns because of the lack of preventive maintenance and careless driving 🫵😉
I got the limited edition I love my cooled seats
nice to drive I will say that
Only a good mechanic can work on a FORD. Stop the bs.
MY experience they are not engineered as well. Cheaper is cheaper. Pay a little more and buy CHevy toyota. or honda. better cars and trucks.
A ford is a ford, a basic car its not a high tech german vehicle
My 2019 expedition has a whisling
noise when you go 25 -30 miles per hrs. And the Ford mechanics can’t find the problem can you help!
Any idea what is causing the whistling sound
Intake manifold has flaps some times they are faulty?
The whistling you are hearing are the turbo's. It is normal.
Nothing of what you did not like... was always.. a "I think it may be bad, fail, plastic tubes may be fail at some point..
Do you know or you just think it may fail...?
Just saying...!!
This video was made by someone who IS NOT a mechanic. Not presently. He was nothing but vague assumptions the whole video.
So what large suv do you think is the best option? Between expedition, escalade, suburban etc?
Dude this is all speculation. My research shows GMC Denali has many reliability and quality issues. Your speculation of what might go wrong from a base model is you guessing.
experience with the F word tells me different......Buy one and see. Im done with Ford.
@@mikesrandomvideos lol

Would a 2019model with 80000miles be a good buy.?

How does this compare to Toyota land cruise ?
toyota probably better but MPG is not so great.
Land Cruiser would be immensely more reliable long term, most likely. It’s a much more expensive vehicle, in a luxury class even though Lexus has the LX570
You never mentioned the struts. They prematurely fail on the older and newer models of the Expedition. What you said was the truth: Ford makes crappy parts.
yea for sure. I never got underneath it was winter so I was limited on what I could look at. Winter in Iowa really cold some days.

Price plz
Uh,um,uh,um. Uh um uh um uh hm 😂😂😂😂😂 um
After watching this review I might just stick with Honda or switch to Chevy in 7-8 years
I would those are better brands IMO. that shifter thing IMO will be the first big issue.
