- We took a 2020 Ford Expedition Limited Max with a twin Turbo Ecoboost 3.5L V6 on a road trip. We even slept in it over night. Here is our opinion from both my wife and me from top to bottom the good and the bad.

Totally agree on the keys!!! The push to start was a solution looking for a problem.
I think that noise might be the parking brake disengaging automatically when shifting from park to drive. That is why you only hear it after you start it.
Love your videos. Found u just by surfing. Watching every day good stuff
Thanks 👍
My mom has a 2003 Ford Expedition XLT that she bought brand new. It currently has 53,000 miles. It’s such an amazing vehicle. We used to travel all over Mexico in it. Now, we use it once in a while.
Crazy low miles
Craig, I've been watching your vids for a long time--enjoyed them! I've been a used car dealer in Chicago area for 25 years--Your videos are very interesting and educating. None the less This 2020 Expedition video is not your specialty! Maybe I'm being a jerk, but I have'nt disliked one of yours to date! 2020!!?? Who cares?? We're used car guys that have seen it all!! I sell approximately 80 vehicles monthly. 8 approx. retail and the rest wholesale at auctions. After all these years I still love it! I'm 67 and love hitting my 5/6 dealers up daily for vehicles. Getting tough though with new auction platforms. Nonetheless I still like staying busy! Not getting super rich, believe me. but your vids are very informative and enjoyable to watch. We've both been where you started, and believe me, the smaller/lower the nut/ overhead, the larger the profit, and you know as well as I, the $ is made when you buy! Times are changing quickly! Anyways, please stick to your vids that made you great to watch! Do what you want-- Just saying--Plus i love how you toss individual charachters into play! Your grandfather, plus your great helpers! The cool black dude and young lady that have a passion for what you do. Don't know if you watch Netflix, but if you do-- watch Gotham Garage! You'll love it. Sorry for so many words!! Stay safe LB -- Chicagoland Area!!
DON'T KNOW WHY MY COMMENT LOOKS SCRATCHED OUT!?
I have drove V8's of every brand and I would take the Eco Boost over all of them. The interior alone makes the expedition worth it. Every other SUV in this class feels like you are in a cave.
You mention the 6,300 towing capacity. Had you added the heavy duty tow package which changes these rear axle, transfer case, radiator and electronic brake controller you can tow up to 9,000lbs with the max which is way over any of the other brands.
There is nothing wrong with the current generation of Eco Boost if you change the oil like your supposed too. Timing chains have been upgraded and they have had enough years to improve the design to make it a really good engine.
Let me also point out that when I was shopping for an SUV I drove every single one and nothing in this class can match the 400hp and 470ft lbs of torque. When your towing it all comes down to torque.
This is all completely stock, many light modifications can be done to truly unleash the power of the eco boost.
My one complaint with this vehicle is the rear entertainment system which has to be installed in the head rests due to the panoramic sunroof. I opted for no rear entertainment system and we just use tablets.
I should also note that I am 6' tall and I can comfortably access the 2nd and 3rd rows with hunching over just slightly. The headroom and leg room in the second and third rows is amazing and not even comparable to the others.
People get on my last nerve bring up timing chain problems. My 2016 F165 has 79k miles without any problems. Maybe because I’ve used nothing but Motorcraft oil and filter. Maybe because no one has changed my oil but me. So I know all the oil was allowed to drain out.
This is what I'm looking for! We are not big people as in 6' 7" giants but all around the 5'10, 5'11 range. powerlifting, backpacking, fishing, hunting, we are big but not giant big. I have been looking for something to fit our family comfortably also pull a camper and or boat. Once my ol 92 f350 kills over ill get a new truck but for family vehicle this looks like it! Thanks for the perspective!
What you just stated is a deciding factor for me. I’ve been highly interested in the 6.2 Tahoe. If what you said is all true, the expedition max is it for me and the family of 6 total.
Hear me out...you keep the key in your pocket. It never has the chance to get lost and is always with you.
The Lincoln version is the way to go. I rented one from Boston Logan last summer to get to Nantucket, amazing.
Exactly this car we rented when we traveled around America for 3 weeks. There were 5 of us and gave all our luggage in without any problems. Compared to European cars, European cars are a toy against this
.
a quick google search shows that a Chevy Surburban weighs between 5,586 and 5,808lbs, and the Ford Expedition clocks in at 5,544 lbs, so they are both in the same ball park, maybe it was the tires that was giving up under wet conditions?
I drive a 1981 Pontiac....keys. Wife drives a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium - keyless fob and push-button start. My key ring goes in my right front pocket. For the Edge, my remote fob STAYS in my left front pocket. You do not need to take it out of your pocket for the vehicle to sense it.
I have a fully specc'ed 2020 Expedition Platinum MAX. With the heavy duty Tow package, it can haul 9000 lbs. On the dash where you thought the 4x4 control is is actually the Pro Trailer backup assist. Below that is where they put the trailer brake controller. Mine has two more buttons around the drive mode - 1 to go into 4LO, and another to lock the differential. Below that are parking controls - yours had disable parking sensors, and mine adds auto park assist.
On the centre stack, on mine, there's another button next to Disable Auto Start Stop to activate camera modes, as part of the Ford Copilot360 package.
Just a couple differences.
I don't know if you'll see this or not.
But I'm looking at buying a used 2020 very looow miles. Are you still enjoying your Expedition?
@@thenomadrhodes Very much so. It's a very capable and reliable vehicle.
@@Nekzus thanks for the reply. I'll be getting mine next week. Cheers
The "Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package" must be a pretty big upgrade since it ramps up to 9,300 lb tow rating over the base 6,000-6,300
It's a new car,of course you love it. It doesn't tell you how reliable is on the long run.
Been giving you a thumbs up for some time but not registering with a red line under it like all my other sights. Perhaps its affecting your site??? Whats going on???

"I guess with the King Ranch you get more cowboy features"
Now I want to see a king ranch review to see if that is true or not :)
I know from previous models you get butter soft distressed leather interior that is like sex on wheels. You have to like it but it's like walking into a smoking room in an old upscale gentleman's club. You know with big leather armchairs with exposed tacks on the arms etc.
I floor plan didn't own one the Lincoln version. It was nice a nice riding looking suv. I am not sure about the Ford version.
Dude, where do I keep my keys? 🤣🤣🤣 Man card pulled.
I love you man.. you are my hero
I would never have a eco-boost engine out of warranty and I’m a Ford guy
I’m not a fan of overboosted 6 cylinder engines. It seems like when it’s hard a work with something in tow the mileage is no better than the 8’s. When lightly loaded, maybe. I’d like to see a tear down of these engines with 200k on them. I can be sold but I’m reluctant right now.
If you click the bottom two numbers on the keypad it will lock all of the doors
The ecoboost timing chain issue is on the gen one only. New gen ecoboost are very durable thus far.
He’s right
I am a ford fan but it’s called the eco poop for a reason I much prefer the 5.0 engine in the trucks
EcoBoost is better for towing more Torque
I agree
I have personally owned Ford, Dodge, Chevy, GMC vehicles and I will sell literally anything that I can buy low and sell for profit!
I hate the gear selector dials, I prefer console shift the most but Column shift is way better then the dial
yea, I would rather a console shifter myself, I don't want to press a button, or turn a dial, I am sure if I had to, I could get used to it, but I don't wanna.
I forgot to shift it into a park a few times before getting out
@@FlyingWheels To be honest, I have done that before in my truck that has the console shifter. I was running my mouth to my sister and not paying attention to what I SHOULD have been doing, fortunately she quickly called my attention to my stupidity before I plowed into the car in front of me in the parking lot.
@@FlyingWheels I was driving a manual through it was a auto. forgot about the clutch.
@@clintonmichaels9259 I got a better one, when my mom was teaching me manual as I was pulling into the driveway she yelled "STOP!!!"
slammed on the brakes and stalled the car, she thought it was hilarious,
fast forward a few years and I am teaching my older sister how to drive a manual, I pull the same trick on her, she was not as amused as I was
Those center consoles are that big so that soccer moms can put their whole purses in there. Also keeps them hidden from view. Smart move by Ford.
Is the expedition faster, than your suburban(5.3)?
Hmm🤔 I'm not surr
Guarantee the expedition is faster... horsepower to weight ratios do not lie. Expedition has more horsepower and is lighter with more torque.
@@FlyingWheels it’s way faster. The 5.3 is a turd, even in the 21 model. Look up reviews. The Expedition beats it to 60 by like a second.
The IRS on the Expedition really cuts its towing capacity.
This is not accurate. Expedition max can out haul the yukon xl and suburban. Max towing capacity is 9,300 lbs with certain models. 9,000 lbs if you get the max with heavy duty tow package.
Only thing I have noticed with independent rear suspension is the SUV wants to wander a bit more when towing near the max.
Solid axle is definitely preferable for towing, but the ride comfort and ground clearence you gain with independent rear suspension is a trade off I am willing to take, especially when traveling long distances with no towing.
The Limited is the top King Ranch and Platinum are just below the Limited. King Ranch and Platinum are even with each other the styling is just different. I am wondering if that had the high output 3.5 Ecoboost that is also in the Raptor the F150 Limited has the high output Raptor engine in it. As far as the timing chains you have done on Previous Ecoboost I am wondering if those were the 2.7 Ecoboosts engines the early 2.7s had issues with the timing chains the 3.5s to the best of my knowledge did not have the same issue.
I rather keep my 07 expedition limited then the new ones
Where is the engine...it's so small I can't see it
and THAT is a problem......sure they produce HP and Torque but what about durability? Eco boosts are known to shit the bed because they have to work so hard to produce those numbers. With all things like materials being equal: 6 pistons doing the work of 8 won't last as long because the wear and tear on the 6 is higher than the 8.
U better change the oil every 5k with synthetic
at LEAST....whatever you do do NOT follow ford's recommended maintenance schedule.....if you take anything from the 5.4 fiasco take that.....
I don't give 2 shits about who makes the vehicle as long as I can buy low and sell high I am good! It's all about the money. Not married to any vehicle
im stick with v8 ford. ford focus is out of focus. i keep keys in pocket I'm gonna try git me v10 excursion best ford vehicle ever made.
I prefer chevy GMC
Where is the hot girl...
Craig.. leave reviewing cars to car reviewers. Hilarious... you mention how horrific CVTs are ,yet you let your brother buy one at auction a few months ago. you are a car guy who owns a dealership/car lot...you've driven basically everything ,yet aren't aware of auto start/stop....looking forward to seeing the boat..and did the Ferrari make it to Bring a Trailer
It's on now. Go bid
Don’t do reviews with a fish eye lens
junk
"Android Car Play", only using blue tooth. Sounding like a boomer.
Kids don't care about anything except Android auto so they can call their mom hands-free 😂
Everybody finished insulting each other?
