IDK about y’all, but I think the fifth-gen Ford Expedition actually looks really good. It’s supposed to come out soon, and I’m kinda hyped for it. Anyone else excited or have thoughts about it?
You’re not alone, it looks great imo.
Love the Expedition, especially the Timberline, but wow… the price tag is insane. We went with an Explorer Timberline for my wife. Still waiting on a Bronco for myself.

Aren’t they cheaper than Suburbans though?
@Shane
Yeah, a basic Expedition is cheaper than a Tahoe. But for the long-wheelbase version (Expedition Max), it starts slightly higher than a Suburban.
@Shane
I’ve honestly never compared the two, but I can see that.
I’m waiting to see all the trims. These off-road-focused ones they always tease first can sometimes make the design feel overdone.

True, but even the base models are pricey. A $60k starting price isn’t as ‘base’ as they make it sound. Taxes and fees push it even higher.
@Jordan
That’s just so they can offer $8k discounts when they need to clear inventory lol.
I’m holding out for the rumored hybrid version. If they confirm that, I’ll be in line to order one.

Same here. I thought about trading up, but without a hybrid option, it doesn’t feel worth it yet.
The front looks decent, but the back reminds me of last-gen Chevy lights, and that black trim is goofy af. Also, Ford really needs to step up on crash safety.
Orange accents look cool but not with that Area 51 body color. Kinda weird mix.
The outside is solid, but that interior? That dashboard is a mess.
I had a ‘97 Expedition Eddie Bauer and loved it! Ford has come a long way, and this new one looks amazing. Ford all the way for big vehicles.
Is the rear wiper still on the back window like a 90s minivan?

Yep, still there lol.
Same 10-speed transmission as before? Mine’s going out at 120k miles… Any advice?
Be ready for recalls every oil change, lmao.
