The Expedition has a 5-star crash test rating overall. It’s got airbags all around, including side curtain and seatbelt airbags. Definitely designed with passenger safety in mind.

Got a source for those tests? I’d like to compare them to other vehicles.

SUVs: the official car of “screw everyone else, I got mine.”
Took one of these on a 900km trip as a rental. Super comfy, but the steering felt weirdly sensitive.

Same with the Explorer. Great for highways, but the steering could be better.
The perfect car for your thrilling suburban adventures!

Same ground clearance as a minivan, worse gas mileage, and one less row of seats. But it’s got 4WD you’ll never use and a trailer hitch for that U-Haul you rented once.
Or maybe the official car of ‘I might be a cop.’

That’s more of an Explorer vibe, though the older Expeditions were popular with rural departments.
At least the sound systems are great… perfect for blasting wholesome Christian pop rock.
“Limited” must mean limited to how many they can sell.

They’re selling just fine, considering they can barely keep them on the lots.
Am I the only one who thinks the new Expedition looks like a cheap Tahoe knockoff?

Now that you mention it, I see it, but I can’t pinpoint why.

It’s the slanted front fascia, square roofline, and those grille bars. Add in the C-shaped headlights, and it’s clear.
Love playing “cop or not a cop” with these at night.
Had one as a rental and tried some light off-roading. The exhaust hit the ground, and the FWD got me stuck. Blew a tire too, thanks to the massive rims. Not really built for adventure.

Yeah, this thing is about as adventurous as a cow in a horse race.
I hate slowing down on the highway because these things look like cops.
