I purchased a 2020 Expedition Max in June of 2022 and I absolutely love it. We took it to Mexico for our first long road trip. As anyone who’s ever driven in Mexico will know driving down there can be pretty crazy. The Expedition Max handled it all like a champ. On the way home we brought back my wife’s family with us, 7 adults and one child in a car seat, with all of our gear. With the reclining seats in all three rows and plenty of leg room as well everyone was very comfortable. Recently I started renting out the vehicle on Turo in Denver. So far I’ve had six rentals in the last six weeks and have had outstanding reviews from every group of renters. It is scheduled to be rented out for 55 of the next 60 days on Turo for a reason. In my opinion the Expedition Max beats out the Suburban and Yukon XL hands down.
Great vehicle but they are starting to price them selves out for ordinary families affording them. These vehicles are starting to be made for just the rich.
John Grytbakk It’s about effortless operation. I personally prefer a console shifter over a column shifter, but apparently a rotary dial is easier than both. I’m not a fan of push button and rotary shifts.
I'm sure you've already considered this, but at times the tires can become an issue where road noise is concerned. At least, that has been my experience from time to time. However, this appears to be a very good, large SUV. I love all of that extra cargo capacity and torque!
@ becardamone Although my current Grand Cherokee has one, I’m not a huge fan of them. They have a few downsides. 1.) dangerous in roll overs, just another window to potentially go through 2.) Hail. I live in OK and we frequently have hail. Large hail can and does break through sunroofs and can then severely injure the exposed passengers 3.) less head room. Vehicles equipped with sunroofs have lower ceilings to create space for the sunroof motor 4.) the sun is blinding when checking blind spots, sometimes even forward vision, makes the interior metals reflective and distracting 5.) potentially higher level of road noise unless it is double paneled, acoustically laminated glass AND has sound deadening material in the ceiling surrounding the glass (like dynamat). I don’t fault Ford for this, as every other full size suv is adopting the panoramic gig to satisfy buyers. The new 2021 Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade also have them and have to be bought because you have to get it if you want most any of the other features. Both GM and Ford should option a standard sunroof and make it to where someone doesn’t have to get it if are wanting other features in the options packages but not a sunroof.
I went to a Ford dealership with my family to check out a 2020 expedition and was told that this vehicle is only for rich people. I didn't even get a chance to see it up close. They asked what I drive now and why am I even looking at such a high-end vehicle. I drive a simple F150 with 302a package that I bought brand new in 2016. They then directed me to their preowned lot across the street and showed me one that they said is more suitable for me, it was a 2001 expedition base model
Really wish Ford would put a V8 in these. The 7.3L or even a Coyote would give me more confidence in longevity. Even as a Ford guy, it’s hard to justify this over a Land Cruiser for that reason.
@@atl3630 ford priced the expedition in between the yukon and tahoe because the tahoe’s highest price is 83,000 while the yukon is i think 85,000 or 86,000
Why wouldn't you get a older year of this car. I looked up a 2012 and found them from like 10-20k used much more affordable. They look nice inside and they have the v8 engine and no knob for the shifter. It seems all around better in the lower years IMO.
@@kirkjohnson2924 my buddy had to get a new engine after 20k miles on his 2018 taco. Land Cruiser is an antiquated vehicle that costs 100k. Quit waxing nostalgic.
@Eric Jr Expedition & Navigator will be Refreshed in 2021 for 2022 model year, and they're has been some rumors that the new f150 interior design will be in the Revised Expedition....
@mike a That Expedition can't go off-road, either. Off highway? Sure. Active-use logging roads. Absolutely - with better tires. (But I'd be very afraid to damage those rims) On the beach? Yep. But not off-road. Not Moab-style, anyway. And not where I wheel in Canada. A minivan is all anyone needs as a family hauler.
@@titomartinez7185 Ya don't do routine oil changes and you'll get that. See, I take care of my vehicles. Have owned several Ecoboost equipped models since 2016 and none have had any issues with the turbo.

Lol 400hp out of a 3.5L? Yeah let me know how those 2 turbos, 4 variable lift camshafts, and 16 valves on a high pressure direct injection fuel line are running after 100k miles of lugging that 3 ton marshmallow around. Nice simple engine, nothing too complex to break XD Thanks EPA, I didn't want affordable or reliable cars anyway.
Yawn. The likes of you have been saying this for over a decade and yet it’s one of the more reliable engines vs the competition. Plenty examples driving with 200k+ miles. GM makes the 5.3 and 6.2 V8 and still cant make a reliable engine. Just look at the lifter issues that the new generation has been having.
That's a nice vehicle Dave but who has $80,000 to spend on a vehicle they have to understand something either they cut their prices or they starve to death and I'm for the latter part

The extra road noise is from the roof crossbars. Remove them and much quieter.
The first thing I’m gonna do after buying 90k suv is take it to the woods. 😎
Great vehicle but they are starting to price them selves out for ordinary families affording them. These vehicles are starting to be made for just the rich.
Except you see these things out here like they are Honda Civics. Can’t figure out who is buying so many of these
Alot of people lease them
Got my wifes 2020 XLT 202A for 48k in Texas. Dude down the street one upped me and got that exact Platinum for 68k. Never pay MSRP fellas.
then 2021 happened where MSRP is considered a decent deal! haha
Parking spaces at work are on the small side. Even with parking assist, it would probably take extra time to maneuver for vehicles this size.
So nice. The only thing they need to rectify is to replace the knob with a column-shifter.

Nice vehicle, but they’re getting soooo expensive! Also, I feel like Dave’s legs need their own TH-cam channel.
Garrett Perkins they do, Endurance Hour.
Wow. No “glued-on tablet” on the dashboard .... thank you Ford. Also, am I the only one who doesn’t want a panoramic roof?
Yes. You are the only one.
No. You are not. I have NEVER cared for a moonroof/sunroof.
Did anybody ask?

Wow what dealership was that?
That sounds like a terrible dealership.
This truck is huge! Love the review...
The main selling point of this to me is the 3rd row leg room. It's like a minivan.
SUV-VAN, thee superior vehicle
Really wish Ford would put a V8 in these. The 7.3L or even a Coyote would give me more confidence in longevity. Even as a Ford guy, it’s hard to justify this over a Land Cruiser for that reason.
*I wonder, the navigators interior just seems so much nicer at basically the same price point compare to this Ford Ex* 😨
totally agree. Ford ought to be able to reduce the price point since they reuse the interior parts across several vehicles (and it's not very nice).
@@atl3630 ford priced the expedition in between the yukon and tahoe because the tahoe’s highest price is 83,000 while the yukon is i think 85,000 or 86,000
That v6 is working so hard
Not true. Especially with the 10 speed.
run still dragging around a lot of weight
Got the 2020 max limited and love it so far !
Why wouldn't you get a older year of this car. I looked up a 2012 and found them from like 10-20k used much more affordable. They look nice inside and they have the v8 engine and no knob for the shifter. It seems all around better in the lower years IMO.
Lol. This generation is miles ahead vs the old one.
awesome review. i believe its the best suv out there
You can fit a soccer team inside! I could picture a tiny person driving it. Just wait till the gas prices go back to $4 gal.
Hi Dave.
How's this vehicle from 2020 now?
Does it worth buying it USED?
Good review bro
Fix or repair daily
Found on road dead.
Nah ford just sucks. Could get a Toyota Land Cruiser instead which won’t break down after 50k

Hope it gets the new f150 interior
Keep right except to pass Dave! :)
Probably the truck like ride as well, same old interior.
Lol. It has an independent rear suspension plus CCD shocks. Nothing like a truck ride.
Hopefully they upgrade the interior with the new f150 dash with the large screen. I want one, but for 80 grand I would have to live in it.
Since the F150 is getting a refresh it’ll be interesting to see if or what they’ll do with the Expedition and Navigator.
@Eric Jr Expedition & Navigator will be Refreshed in 2021 for 2022 model year, and they're has been some rumors that the new f150 interior design will be in the Revised Expedition....
I hope it gets the same refresh as the F150
Hi there, should be less expensive, its made in America and suburban it's the real competition for a big length, thank for you videos.
My mom has that car
Just get a minivan for less than half the price.

I wanna see your mini van tow a 27 foot camper while carrying 7 passengers up a 7% grade in the middle of summer.
Did I notice that the 3rd row has an option to fold down the middle seat only? Not just the left or right right folding down option would be great.
It’s a 60/40
Around 5:35 - What are the features to the left of the audio on/off/volume control knob and to the left of the climate on/off/temp set knob?
What color is that expedition ....its a beautiful color
Just wait for the new Tahoe or Yukon
Not a chance.
How are those lifter issues coming along? 😂
Not solid axle like gm or Toyota trucks .

Not bad. Just buy a 3 year old Mercedes Benz GLS.
Why? To please your mechanic?))) They are not reliable at ALL!!! HAD ML AND GLS. was happy to see that go
