- There are SUVs and then there are SUVs; the originals that stay true to their big, body-on-frame origins with motorhome-like proportions and engines that can haul. And after a decades-long wait, Ford has redesigned the Expedition to be more powerful, smarter and more spacious with fuel economy that won’t leave you broke.
MSRP as-tested: $82,510

I drove this great car for 19 days straight!! Great experience! All features mentioned in this video were experienced - even the kick open trunk.
If I had the money I would not hesitate to get it. I currently have the Exp2010 model!!! Drove it up and down hill smoothly.
I choked up when you said that price. What a beautiful SUV.
Lol that is a ridiculous price, cost about as much as a Lincoln Navigator & Cadillac Escalade, cars are getting more & more expensive especially with the added computer stuff. Things like that don't need to be in cars in my opinion.
Just sold one yesterday 32k miles for 45k CPO certified with ford not a dent or stretch /scuf on it
However its Amazing how it WILL DEPRECIATE so I can wait. 2 years from now it will be amazingly CHEAPER . By then even the Navigator will be lower ..
Wait n save
Yep so true.
John Dough: I buy 3-4 year old....huge savings and drive them for 5-6 years.
You are not wrong, but that applies to everything..... Damn near
Nice review Steve! Looks like a great vehicle for those who can afford it. Well done Ford!
I agree.
one most important thing is missing on this suv - the diesel engine. with that type of gas expense you need to be a gas-station owner. and one more thing, the longer panoramic moon roof would be just great.
Modern diesels are a nightmare to maintain. If you don't plan to tow something heavy on a daily basis, the mpg saving while "towing" vs gas engine will never offset the initial cost of engine upgrade and cost of repair and maintenance. Notice I did say "while towing". If you're not towing, the mpg saving will never pay off the cost of buying and maintaining a modern diesel.
@@noblekitty what you mean with hard maintenance?? can you kindly please list several things?? i know "add blue" oil & filter more expensive. other than than i do not know. also "farsonka" (were the fuel injects) must be replaced but it runs several hundreds of thousands of miles. other than that what can be a nightmare??
4 years later and gas is cheaper than diesel.
Better Than The 2004 Ford Expedition.
Sounds like I'd have to drive it to believe it. Would certainly enjoy being a passenger in there.
Thanks, Steve!
Still bizarre to me that a minivan has so much more cubic feet of space than these giant SUV's I guess it's the removable seats.
I think a lot of that comes from increased vertical space in a van. A van's ride height is much lower, but they also have more space from floor to ceiling on the inside. The big body-on-frame SUVs, on the other hand, are still designed to handle their own off road.
Nice 👍 Sir I like ur videos I’m from India Telangana Hyderabad
Thanks for checking them out!
Sir Do Kia Carnival video
Look like a killer in the rearview mirror at 3:23
Where's the uncomfortable spot in the Expedition Max? In a Tahoe, the whole 3rd row is the penalty box.
There isn't one. Since the expedition utilizes an independent rear suspension, the 3rd row is much larger. The Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade all utilize live rear axles this the 3rd row sits on the axle causing the tight knees to your chest (the suburban, yukon xl, Escalade esv are a little more bigger due to length)
Steve said 6.5 passengers... so that's what I'm wondering... I agree with you, every one should be okay in an Expedition.
Billy Sou the tahoe’s 3rd row is like the highlander or sorrento’s space leg room
@@76carmel My guess is that middle seat in the back row. Legroom is probably fine, as mentioned, but it's the width. Personally roll my eyes when a CUV or SUV has three across in that last row. It's a marketing ploy mostly.
souldn't you be comparing this Expedition Max with a Suburaban?
I'm stuck in this for a new Navigator . I guess if i buy i will pick the Navi for sure
Bentley Tran same chasis platform, ford owns Lincoln
Awesome Review Steve.
God I want a expedition!
Ah, your skeptical sister who roasts non-practical vehicles. I'm surprised it didn't totally go viral.
82k
No f-ing way!!’
dygardion 91 It’s nuts but a comparable Suburban is the same price.
We really wanted an Expedition, but went with an F-150 with a bed cap. Not as smooth of a ride, but more cargo space and 10’s of thousands cheaper.
How durable do you expect the engine to be?
“80 dollar fill” sounds good 4 years later.
True!
Love this SUV and gas miles range high and love the style
This was a great review
The body looks like a suburban
Hoka sr que hermosa es esta camioneta ford es ford y le mando un saludo hoy 5 mayo 2019 saludos desde México
The Europeans still do the super luxury sedan thing better (think S-class, A8, XJ etc.) but the Americans are better at doing big luxury SUV. Despite the Ford badge, it is approaching levels of Q7 and GLS territory luxury features. Great job Ford.
BECAUSE of the Ford badge. Get over it.
It comes at a hefty price tag

So did they fix Apple CarPlay?
When you have CarPlay, you CANNOT use the in-car Navigation System. It FORCES you to use your phones GPS Navi.
Overlooking this is tragic.
You can win this Expedition on my showcase😃!
Ford expedition, lo maximo y lo que quiero tener muy pronto
I doubt anyone can park this in sg carpark. Too huge to handle. No doubt hope to own it .
Uhm where do you fill up 30 gallons for $80 😔
28.3 X $2.83 = $80
@@stevehammes wow!!!
Lucky... where in the US is that price available?! I'm at 3.98 for cheapest 87 grade.
even in San Mateo county(expensive area), CA, you could find 3.43 for 87 grade at Arco at Delaware st & HWy 92. Costco has similar price.
I've been paying $3.10 - $3.40 in Connecticut for several months now...
I must say this is a Nice Full size jeep
Great job FORD
BROOKLYN IS WATCHING
What will this bad - ass 2018 FORD EXPEDITION cost me a year later ???
Still close to 50k I’ve been looking for them used now
I bought 2 expeditions brand new in the past 12 Year's and I can't stand all the plastic in them, FORD.....STOP DOING THAT SHIT.....
I went with a GMC Yukon and to be honest, it's better
Michael Renda Michael your cute... and yes the GMC Yukon’s are nice! 😘
Ford Expedition killed the Toyota Land Cruiser.
I would love Ford to bring back the Excursion
D Yes! the best SUV they made!!
No you don't
@@urielhernandezT150 yes, I do.
Maybe you don't..... Which is fine whatever but don't project you're insecurities on to others..... Kinda a bitch move
The Excursion and 3/4 ton Suburban (aka Suburban 2500) were the best vehicles around compared to the current model Expedition Max and Suburban.
Ford expidition is Big and beautiful
Got a fully loaded 19 well worth it over my 2017 suburban
David Balderas exactly
Slash the price by 20k and people still cannot afford it.
Yep that's true, even includes me, seems car manufacturers cater to people who are rich or make thousands of dollars per year & not other people who don't make a lot per year.
It ain’t worth it with a twin turbo V6... some shit to tear up and cost a lot to fix. Ford ought to be ashamed of themselves
Modern tech isn't cheap...... They could sell a super stripped version but uhhhh who is going to buy that 🤔
Can we get $80 fill ups back?
Steve looks exhausted
Tracie Broad I don’t recall specifics but it’s certainly possible that I was 😉.
Hi Mr. Testdrivenow, you should take a review of your suv or your car, if you’d like to.
Sounds like a good idea!
That's my family one day I wish I could afford it. I'm good
Wow the price I can't afford sorry
Demerrill Spencer 😂👍🏾
Lol I am in a one right now on jul 14
Bought a 2016 Expedition for a little over $23K... It's almost like new with low mileage...Don't want to be spending so much on a new expedition just for a few new features..
. Muy Muy bueno para toda la familia
Beautiful car
For those complaining for the fuel prices. Here in my country it's double your price! So shut the "****" up
I rather have one of these than a truck, I like to get another Lincoln but I wouldn't mind having one of these Expeditions which like the design of this Expedition as the previous years. I don't need extras as wifi though.
The Expedition is an excellent vehicle. The only thing I would have done different is put paddle shifters on the steering wheel instead of the center stack and maybe put a heads up display like Steve mentioned other than that great looking vehicle.
As of Today's Date, IMHO, This Big Girl is the best full size non luxury SUV you can buy.
Nice suv, and it got enough space for a car sex, especially in the 3rd row and u can cruise with this thing comfortably anywhere.
Wait what? Your sister drove it, the same sister as the one who was disgusted by your cool green Mercedes GT-R? :D
Love you care wow
I recently purchased a 2017 Suburban and for the price, Suburbans should be way better. I considered this new Expedition model but the price tag is ridiculous. Although, I have to say this one has everything I'd wish for in my Suburban.
For someone looking to buy one of these, wait until next year and purchase an used 2018 which will be 20-30k cheaper with low milage.
I appreciate your honesty and insight. I'm looking at a used Toyota Land Cruiser maybe a year or two old but I'll wait for somebody else to take the depreciation hit.
@ Rxonmymind...I have been in the market for one as well. As you have probably noticed they do not depreciate nearly as much as other vehicles which of course is one of their strengths.
@@jcpoiuy
Well stay in touch once in awhile Gas is climbing rapidly here in California with the average price being $3.90 a gallon for 87 octane. It hit over $4 something for the pricier stuff.
For the record I drive a Lexus RX350 and it cost me $60 to fill.
These Leviathan are going to REALLY feel it when gas goes to $5 gallon.
There will be a crap ton of defaults on these luxury yacht trucks/suv that people signed over 84 month payment for.
I don't wish anyone to fail but something isn't right in the economy so stay patient and we'll get a great deal in one or two years.
Buy low & drive low . Overland that is! 😁
Look for Certified Pre Owned.
It's beautiful but it looks like a Chevy
I like it but I have a good feeling ill like the Lincoln aviator better when you can get one, should be alittle cheaper to
Absolutely ridiculous with that vehicle is $90,000 fully loaded
I love this expedition 2018 platinum esp now that I get to experienced how comfy and oppulant this vehicle
Great video once again Steve! Any idea if/when you'll be getting a new Hyundai Veloster through the pipeline?
All types of ugly. 80 grand for that? Hahaha!
I'm gonna buy one of these or the lincoln version used in the far future
A rig that big and that loaded deserves 80k...and truth be told it’s not juss a better suv but a revolutionary suv.. this is not the same expy as before.. now I’m interested in gm’s response.. great review steve
I hope their response is not ...”let’s add a V6 engine to the Tahoes.”
But why are they still are selling more then the New Expedition
Another Great review Steve. As Tina Turner sings in Her song Steve "You're Simply the Best"
$82,000! Lol! That's Toyota Land cruiser territory. Anyone want to bet which will last longer? I was nodding my head agreeing on all your points until you mentioned the price. Peace.
I will take this over a Land Cruiser any day I have 2016 Expedition e l and I love it plenty of power plenty of room so far no issues and I would love to upgrade to a 2019 Expedition Max love that V6 EcoBoost really strong
can i please have that car without a wifi hotspot? thank you.
why god give us only 2 kidneys?
How many years it's reliable
I Like My Esclade Esv.
1:24 "No Duhhh." Seriously? How old are you, 12?
Or he has a 12 year old. Chill
The interior is the exact same as a f 150, step it up Ford
Mike M it’s not tho
India is the only car
Ford you are okay keep it up
No reason to have 400+ hp... smh...
So Ford wants to beat Chevy by building a Chevy
That doesnt make sense
They didn't build a Chevy, if they did they're wouldn't be any tear space for the third row, they would keep a huge v8 for no reason whatsoever......
@@buckeyesfan4700 obviously they don't build a Chevy and it's not that they build a Chevy is that they look alike they should go their own way but that's the problem with so many cars today they all look alike
@@horizonsky9269 true but Ford started this segment.... Not suv but the type of suv with the expedition and CHEVY followed suit, yes the escalade sells more but the Navi came first
@@buckeyesfan4700 it's not who started first or who started last if ford started first he should have been the leader of the pack I like ford I like Chevy but I like them to be different apart from each other
ford ❤
Cool design
That car is more like bus than suv
You’re think of an Excursion
It’s so beautiful 😍
Br yan
Sorry I love it but I’m not paying 90K for a Ford
Brian Heck At all
the speed of this car is very less
What for do you need high speed in the US? 😂 Greetings from Germany ✌️
😍😍😍😍
But gmc is also good in interior and exterior
Ehhhhh
Just wish gm wasn't such a copy and paste shit company
I love everything about this vehicle except the rear looks.
With a V6? Really Ford?
brad_bro Exxactly
GMC YUKON DENALY THE BEST
V6 huh ?
i am from India and i love this car
I like the 2018 Lincoln Navigator and the Chevy Suburban better!
Lmao 82k ?? I could buy a 2016 for 40k and lift it put 40 inch tires the sweetest shocks and suspension and still be under 75k. These types of SUVs are for people who dont use them as suv's just like the 70k trucks I guess the day of utilization is dead.
5:01 - 5:07 - “Sticker shock personified.” Haha!
Or you could get a Durango for half that price.
It's better than the tahoe but the thing that I dont like about this car is that annoying motor v6
American cars are a real shit at the time of trying to buy.
In Europe vs USA, we are worse than China. At least they know there is censorship. We when we go to buy at the brand stand, say soon is not possible. I am referring to the SUVs Linconln, Cadillac Escalade, Ford Expedition, Ford f-150, Chevrolet Suburban, Crhysler (new model type SW) ... It is worrying because the sporting type Mustange, Chevrolet ZR, Viper, .... Now, I can. Before, at least he could care not even now. Not even to contact the dealers in the US they say they can not export. There is. Problems exporting shit ???? or problems in the fucking COUNTRIES that do not understand each other but are embarrassing that WE ARE FREE.
Yeah but i have a 2005 for expedition and i could fit my 6 kids in the back where ford took that 1 seat away. So it makes me not want to upgrade because i cant fit all my kids for a trip across town.
❤❤❤❤
Big step forward for Ford, But let's be honest... Still far behind Chevy & GMC. and a 5,800 lb vehicle with a turbo six. No thank you.
