2018 Ford Expedition Review / Comparison - In 4K

- If you're shopping for a full-sized SUV, Ford's all-new Expedition simply has to be on your shopping list. It's more modern and more fuel efficient than the competition with good handling dynamics, a powerful twin-turbo V6 engine and a new 10-speed automatic transmission. Tow ratings are at the top of the pack and it quite simply feels newer than the Chevy, Nissan, Toyota or GMC competition.

What to do first thing on a Sunday morning? Watch Alex on Autos! And I am not even in the market to buy or lease a car. Great, detailed, and enjoyable review as always, Alex!
Same here
I'm watching this again 🤦🏽♂️
yea i just use these videos to gain knowledge of other cars. never know when something else is exactly what you’ve been looking for if you don’t look
Just bought one and it's dreamy. Room room everywhere. This review is spot on. Interior is ruggedly refined. What's not to love with an extended warranty and gap insurance. So we'll tow small stuff. If we wanted tow capacity we'd have bought a truck.
I'm on my 5th Expedition right now, which is a 2020 Limited. I just can't see myself driving any other SUV.
I have owned a 1998 Eddie Bauer, 2004 XLT, 2010 Eddie Bauer, 2016 XLT, and now of course the 2020 Limited. They just keep getting better and better, and I can't wait to see what they do next.
have you driven a tahoe or suburban? i’m torn between an expedition or wagoneer. leaning towards the wagoneer for the v8
@justabrokeredneck I haven't driven any of those 3. I have always liked the Expeditions enough to never think about any other, except a Cadillac Escalade but haven't checked them out yet.
I'm sure whatever makes you comfortable and happy will be the right choice.
Good Luck.
@@cobrajam96ended up with a 21 platinum max expedition. looking for a ccd delete so i can throw a lift and 37’s on it now lol
Hey Alex, i just wanted to tell you that on the cargo area, the hooks that are said to be for groceries are in fact for the double hinge cover that you found a little confusing. In this way you can put the cover over the hooks horizontally like some kind of shelf to put stuff on it and be able to reach it from the back window opening so you don't have to open the whole thing and mess around with your luggage, you can also extend a small lip on one side of the cover to prevent your stuff from falling from the shelf every time the vehicle brakes. The second position of this cover is to put it over the hooks on a vertical way so it forms like a little wall to prevent your excess baggage from falling or if you have something that could roll out from the cargo area when you open it.
You are on of the best reviewers that i have encounter globally with the plus that you actually quantify and ranked every measurement, keep up the excellent work. Saludos desde México amigo.
I as well am not in the market for a vehicle as I bought a wrangler recently. BUT, as a self proclaimed crazy car guy that loves to dive deep into learning about new cars, I LOVE your videos. There is NO reviewer like you Alex. You deserve your own TV show.
The most comprehensive 2018 Expedition review besides TFL and their more trucker oriented review(real life trailering tests). Great work as always Alex TYFS
We rented a 2018 Expedition Max on a recent trip to Yellowstone. We actually had reserved a Transit, but upon arrival the Transit was in sorry shape, and the rental rep was so embarrassed as to the condition, they upgraded us to the Expedition. 5 adults and 3 kids ranging from 2nd grade to 7th grade.
I'm not normally a fan of large vehicles like this, but I will say the Expedition performed like a champ for the week we had it. Yellowstone is around 8,000 feet of elevation, which doesn't help engine performance on any car. There was a bunch of construction on park roads, so quite a bit of rough "road" we traversed on a daily basis. Nary a squeak or rattle out of the Ford no matter the road surface. Plenty of power, even loaded with 8 of us, and on mountain roads at high elevation.
Color me impressed. I couldn't justify 15 mpg give or take on a daily basis, and if I had to routinely haul 7 or 8 people, I'd probably choose a minivan, as ingress/egress is far superior. But if you need to tow more than a minivan can handle, AND haul more than 6 people on a regular basis, I can see owning one of these. It was great. Quiet, solid, etc. Of course, it had better be, considering what a well equipped Expedition sells for these days.
Anecdote: GM must absolutely give away their equivalent to rental agencies. We saw a dozen full size Chevy SUVs in rental service in the park for every Ford. I was surprised the imbalance was so large.
Congrats on 200,000 Alex.
No Way yep, great to see him cross the 200k mark. he deserves more than a million for sure....
Well deserved!
Aleks A. Agreed, his dedication to his work is inspirational. BTW, that air stream looks slick :)
Very well deserved
Congratulations on reaching 200,000 subscribers Alex! Your hard work has reaped its rewards.
I very much appreciate the camera work you have done also. You are not sparing any effort for us to have what is probably the bestest review, again TYFS Alex !
BEST REVIEW - Also, I CLICKED ON THE AD so that you can get some money ! now, I am interested in the product, and they may get a sale; but I realize that they want people to learn about their product, so I clicked on the ad.
The Expedition is high up on my favorite’s list
Great review, Alex. We bought a 2018 Ford Expedition Limited 4WD two weeks ago to replace my 2008 GMC Envoy Denali 4X4. I love it and more importantly, my wife loves it. I considered all of the competition. Once I figured out that I could afford one, the decision was pretty simple. And I've been getting just over 20 MPG with it - probably just how and where we drive. I didn't think that I'd care for the auto stop/start system but it works so smoothly that I don't mind it at all.
Saw your comment and was wondering if you are still happy with your purchase 8 months later.
6:55 Those “grocery bag holders” are there to prop up the shelf that unfolds in the back. That’s what the double-hinged storage bin in the back is for.
Thank and for someone with over 200k subscribers at the time of this video, you'd think they would have found out why it folded out.
I'm not a Ford fan but I am impressed with this SUV (and the Navigator). Chevy & Cadillac need to refresh their SUVs if they want to remain class leading. Otherwise, I can see Ford taking a BIG chunk out of their business within two years.
Last redesign was in 2014, that means new GM SUVs will come out in 2020.
lol calm down old man the escalades are still flying out of the shelves with the navigator is barely selling.
I like the Expedition but it can’t compete with the Tahoe/Suburban... the Tahoe has a strong and bullet proof NA V8, can tow more, interior looks better and better looking in general. If Ford put in more effort into the Expedition, I guarantee it would sell more.
@@panthersfan8494 neither compare to the toyota sequoia
Love the Sequoia, but as you say, it hasn't changed since we first looked at it in 2008. Would definitely consider the Expedition when it comes to our next vehicle.
Not saying you should reconsider, but remember that if the Sequoia is that old, most any replacement parts or servicing should be quite reasonable compared to something like this new Expedition. It may not have the features or pizzazz, but it should have a leg up in terms of reliability, longevity and overall running costs.
Stick to Sequoia. I owned Sequoia Platinum. Now I have 2018 Expedition. It is not even close as what they advertise. Build cheap, MPG is not as on paper. Besides being longer than Sequoia, it is so much inferior to Sequoia. Selling Expidition and will be buying Sequoia again.
The grocery bag holders serve as mounting points for the secondary folding cargo load floor function. The cargo load floor hinges up and becomes a load shelf at the lift glass level.
Excellent articulate presentation....
Very Nice Alex! Been waiting awhile for you to get ahold of the new Expedition. Great Review as Always and congratulations on 200k.
The turn signal on the side view mirror are dim. This seems to be the case on many vehicle these days. On my Volvo, the turn signal on the mirror are big and bright and I have noticed that they capture the attention of oncoming drivers when I turn at an intersection.
The legend is back
the latch on the side of the boot area is not a bag holder, rather it is the latch to hold the the cargo board which you have said you do not understand.
I got to seat down in this SUV today and I was shocked how small the head room was for the second row seats. I am 5ft 11in and my hair brushes against the ceiling.
Alex! You are the best. I was waiting for this review. I'm a Expedition fan. Thank you. Went to the NY Auto Show yesterday. I was going to purchase the outgoing Expedition but made the mistake in checking this one out. I fell in love with this new model.
1:08 ummm, Alex, that is an LED turn signal. Honest mistake I'm assuming. Love your reviews.
another great review. I'm considering trading in my F150 for this Expedition Max and this has sealed the deal.
Another great review. Thanks Alex.
at 84 grand for a ford you could also bring the lincoln navigator into the mix.
Ya I'm pretty sure he might have mentioned that if you were listening
Not that I wouldn't buy a Navigator if I had the money but I think the Expedition Platinum is better looking.
That awkward moment when the 6.2L Yukon XL has better fuel economy...
GM's 6.2L is shockingly efficient
please make sure ,this gazi nazim uddin.
Just can’t get over a heavy duty SUV not having a V8.
pretty sure this base v6 out performs every base v8 in this category
I may have misunderstood him, but it seems he said the headlights are full LED, but then stated the turn signals are halogen. They are in fact LED, not halogen.
Yup, on the Platinum, LEDs all around are standard, optional on the limited
I still think this is the better value proposition over the Navigator.
Expedition and Navigator are best in class compared to competitors by a HUUUGE MARGIN!
truck based SUV = real SUV
Alex, You are the greatest automotive journalist since the great Csaba Csere of Car & Driver and The New York Times. Both of you are fascinating and detailed in your approach. Both take a literate and erudite approach to your work. I'd love to see you have him as a guest one day on your show. It would be like seeing a Rolls drag race a Bentley. Keep up the good work guy. We need people like you!
Csaba Csere and Alex would be a fantastic pairing!
fords have been getting nice over the years. i do think they need to have a bigger difference between the trim levels and that pricing is controversial
Very nice review. I appreciate how detailed you are with all the information and how you show every little detail of the vehicle. Definitely helps on making the right choice of what to buy. Keep up the awesome work sir.
Alex you are the best :-) thank you for your in-depth objective reviews mentioning very impostant points for potential buyers
The curb-weight of the vehicle with you, Alex, in it, and a tank of fuel, IS three tons! : o
TH-cam doesn’t seem to recognize the truly wider potential of their platform. Your channel and a few others are so well developed, that the next logical step would be televised markets. The exposure would extend your brand, far beyond the limitations inherent here. Is it Google that lacks vision or just you? Not trying to hurt feelings here, but I’m thinking It’s time for the best content creators to test the waters outside of this cocoon. Not everyone will succeed, but you have a polished image and honest presentation; things that should transfer well. Just saying. It makes me a bit suspicious of people who have enormous control, but at the same time, marginal vision ........
I agree, Alex could be on broadcast TV in a heartbeat.
Streaming is growing, broadcast is shrinking. Alex is in the right market. Fewer and fewer people I know even have TVs anymore. Today this may be mostly a coastal phenomenon, but it is coming to the rest of America. The obituary of the broadcast TV has already been written. It is just a matter of time now.
Thanks Bruce. MountainHobo: I don’t believe he should abandon TH-cam, I believe he could expand his BRAND. Look, he is doing a fantastic job with an industry that has a profound impact on the lives of everyone on this planet. His voice isn’t the only one, but it is profoundly honest. You don’t see that everywhere. That to me has value, and potentially others who might be reached through differing mediums may benefit. I subscribe to many TH-cam channels, paid network subscriptions and such, and I am convinced that the old saying, ‘The more the merrier’, definitely applies here. Quality, the man puts out quality, and if TH-cam doesn’t get it: just thinking outside your box here; maybe there is a company or network who does .........
Absolutely!
TV is how you lose your message and creative control. Too many hands in the pot.
Can Your Next Review Be On The Lincoln Navigator Black Label Please
Natwayn Altema
Stealth Ford marketing shills? I think so.
He said at the end that he is driving the Navigator and will be uploading a review soon
I love it! But that Navigator is just scrumptious!
Rarely see expeditions on the road.. The market has definitely changed... Well done, Alex!
The particular expedition you're reviewing has led turn signals in front not halogen bulbs.
Thanks for the video Alex, as usual very detailed and informative. The cargo management system does many things if you know how to use it:)
I laughed out loud when he said those are “Diesel numbers”!!
They are. Small diesels. They have very similar torque vs hp numbers
That double hinge becomes a shelf when propped up against the backrow seats
Honestly I’m not sure which I’d get between this or the Navigator. I much prefer the interior and exterior design of the Expedition but the Navigator has a leg up on comfort and quality. I really don’t like how the Navigator looks all that much but it has more to offer. This is actually a dilemma for me
Ford really did a good job redesigning this
@Makayla Jones lmao sis my comment is so outdated from 2 years ago i don’t even remember commenting this nor agreeing with myself lmao
Great review Alex!
Congrats Alex, nice review, this SUV will be perfect with a diesel engine, in fact it's perfect for families, big families, but on a trip roads with a diesel engine 3.5 l, super SUV
Hi, I really appreciate your video and this comparison in particular. Nice work
Oh yea and most likely will be going with the Max with my wife and three kids (all boys) big dudes
Which vehicle would you pick for a family of six packing for an extended weekend ?
very good review.....
Beautiful vehicle. GM will have to up its game with the Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, and Escalade, if they want to keep their 75% market share in this segment. They will have to go with independent rear suspension on their next versions for better ride quality and space efficiency in back.
Great video! The turn signals on that Platinum are LED though aren’t they? Not halogen.
Nicholas Rideout yes, that’s LED, not Halogen.
Good video. My Wife loves her 18 Expedition Max Platinum. I wanted the Navigator but it's my wife's vehicle and she said she thought the Expedition was better looking lol. But so far it's been a good SUV no problems. I think automakers sometimes wait to update some of their vehicles because they tend to make more money on older platforms.
This is the best Ford suv which is very reliable currently
Looking forward to the Navigator review!
This is really huge vehicle. My Pilot would be look like a baby next to this one.
What about HVAC in 2nd and 3rd row? Face vents? Adjustable temp? Seat heating??
I own one. The rubber gaskets around the passengers windows are warping. This is unacceptable for a $70k SUV.
Has it been reliable otherwise?
Excellent presentation as usual.
The ride quality is not similar across this segment. I would give the GM suvs a B- in a good day.
I’d rather pay extra in fuel than repair bills any day of the week!!!
That turn signal is clearly LED.
magrider yes, they certainly are. A very rare factual miss for Alex!
Looked directly at it....yup its halogen.
It’s halogen because when it turns off you can see that it doesn’t turn off immediately
Aviation gamer rblx it is led because i own one and it is definetly led lol
Ford has the potential to dominate the full size SUV market with this and the new Navigator! They've always been mechanically and capably better than the GM models, it's just that they've never enjoyed the market share for whatever reason! If Ford continues to market these rigs right and pump up the production, they can own this segment!
Jamel Moore They don't capture the market share because they have never been as good nor will they ever. Gm pioneered the family full-size SUV. You cannot even get a V8 in this truck.
Bruce Springsteen who wants a gas eating v8?
Raymond Jameson Newsflash buddy, even those turbo V6's are gashogs. You simply will not move as weight as these are and get good fuel mileage. You want good fuel mileage? Buy an economy. Simple as that
I remember when you used to get in a truck and do work with it.
The trunk floor doubles as a shelf which is why its double-hinged!
Well done...best that I've seen to date! Thank you!
I WAS EXHAUSTED JUST LISTENING TO THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF INFORMATION TO TAKE IN. ALL THOSE BUTTONS!!! JUST GET A TOYOTA LAND CRUISER AND CALL IT A DAY!
Think is too much better than the Toyota land cruiser
I wish Ford would bring back the Excursion.
May bring it by 2025
I’m looking forward to your review of the Elantra GT Sport and the Kona Ultimate.
Alex, can you review the 2018 Lexus LX570?
Alex, thank you for this great review! I have 4 kids (they are all younger than 10 years of age) and I need an SUV with sufficient luggage space behind the 3rd row. I am considering the Mercedes GLS, Infiniti QX80 and, perhaps, this Ford Expedition Max. Would you (or anybody else here) know which one of these 3 SUVs has most luggage space behind the 3rd row? Many thanks!
Thanks for the review. Been waiting for this review done by you for so long. Looking forward to view Lincoln Navitation review as well!
I rather get Navigator than Expedition Plat.
Najee Jackson Aviator is a spacious and great looking large SUV like Navigator but I like frame body. Which I think more safer when comes to collision with other heavy vehicles.
Najee Jackson what about you? what would you get?
Agree, and this is their first generation model. It will likely to have more issues, and will be fixed/resolved in the next generation. First generation purchasers are guinea pigs for the automakers.
I have a 2016 chevy tahoe , the The main reason why I choose the Tahoe over the expedition is the naturally aspirated V8
gm's small block v8 last forever and I attempt to keep the car for a long time
Hani Alrefaei The expedition is the most reliable suv in its segment according to jd power. Considering the fact that this engine has been made more reliable with time, I expect it to remain that way.
Samual Jones my father in laws 5.3 lasted 130k and threw a rod so....
Hani Alrefaei I got a 2016 tahoe for the same reason. My tahoe tahoe has 29k flaw less miles.
Another great review. No wonder Alex gets the big bucks.
really nice, but Ford is just no longer the vehicle of the 'average' person. you are driving around in a small house, cost wise. Who is Ford targeting?
it would be funny to watch doug demuro and alex review the same car at the same time. Thisssss is the 2018 ford expedition and you see alex sitting in the trunk
Hi, Alex. I was wondering what would be the wheel configurations be to have the look like the one in your thumbnail? Is it 18 inches wheels? What about the tires?
Thank you for the review
Hei awesome channel ☺ Keep it up!
I like it a lot. Wish it had its own dashboard for the price you pay.
good job
I'd rather get this then a suburban due to the stupid tight 3rd row leg room for a full size suv
Can you review an Escalade?
Alex, if you are in the MAX version with 2nd and 3rd row folded, can you a 4x8 sheet of plywood or drywall into it? Thank you.
Thanks for the answer Alex
I love Ford very much But I must say that they still do not have a good interior design They make the same design for all models And that's a bit annoying
Waiting for 2019 Console Gear.This full suv should have those console gear.
The sequoia starts in the early 2000s maybe even late 1990s I have a 2003 sequoia v8 4.7l and gets 14 mpg
I surely hope you figured out that that is a shelf. I know this is an older video for you but you have some very rough edges to fix. No one cares about totalling the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seats legroom together. They want the individual numbers when deciding between them. Comparing one size to lower sizes is a no go as well. Comparing totally different segments is a no. Lastly for the love of all holy, please stop calling it a crossover. Why and when did this start. The explorer has always been an SUV and this is the expedition we are talking about so it of course is an SUV. If people are getting their info from you, they need help. I mean you gave me a good resolution to view your video give you that and the camera angles weren't bad either.
Sorry if this sounds crass, I feel you have some massive potential if you did your homework. Perhaps this segment isn't your forte.
👍👍👍
Why does Ford feel compelled to use inline cupholders rather than side by side? I hate it. I know but it drives me nuts.
Can’t get pass the plastic coverings on the steering wheels or the ford logos so outdated but I do love the truck ford did a great job on it now lets redesign the steering wheel.
Ford will always be the best!
No. Which is the reason you only got "1" like on your comment.
Honestly, forget minivans. This is the way to go. I know the odyssey has like 30 extra cubic feet of cargo space, but most of that comes from how low the floor is and how useful is that space really; length is where it’s at. Also this can tow, which is something no minivan can do well. The only deal breaker is the V6. I know this has more torque than a Yukon Denali or Tahoe RST, but the those have more power and fuel economy is about the same (6.2L V8). I wish ford still offered this with a V8 because then I’d be all over it. Also I would easily get this over a Navigator. I really don’t like the styling of the Navigator or the interior and the feature content doesn’t sway me much aside from the more adjustable seats
If love the look from from ,but I dislike the rear or back
Thank you for a very informative review. I was deciding between the Expedition and the Mercedes GLS 450. I purchased the Expedition Platinum Max two weeks ago.
You can still get a V8 in a 2018 F150, who said you couldn't?
Will there be a review of the Chevy Traverse?
