Default 2018 Redesigned Exped

http://www.ford.com/suvs/expedition/2018/


Just thought I would post this for anyone interested in the redesigned Expedition, finally!! I think my wife may be driving one of these in about a year. She is in a 2015 Tahoe right now, pretty good vehicle, but I think the new Exped is looking pretty nice.

The styling 100% ripped off GM.

I do agree that there are some similarities.

I believe its more of a rectangle, but you are right. There is only so much that can be done. I am just glad they made some changes.

I like it but I'd have liked the v8. Those wheels are "polished" not coated like my shiny wheels. I suppose that's an admission that coated wheels are inferior?

The nose/grill looks like a Flex or an Exploder.

Huh... it's amazing how different this looks from the F150. It bears a really strong resemblance to the unibody Explorer but Car and Driver says it's going to be aluminum body on steel frame like the F150.

I will be waiting to hear from people such as yourself over the next year to see how the new 3.5 ecoburst/10 spd tranny combo is working out. If all seems well than I will probably look at trading wife's Tahoe this time next year.

I like the little tweaks they have done to the interior such as the placement of the unlock buttons and memory seats. Also the swapping of trailer break control and the backup assist makes sense.
