Bloated, hideous, no ground clearance and looks like a minivan. Good job Ford!

What does it need ground clearance for? That’s never even thinking about going off-road. That side is a whooooooooole lot of sheet metal though...kinda weird looking.

I’m fairly certain the only people that bought last gen Expeditions were rental car companies.
I can count on one hand how many times I’ve seen a new Navigator.

It’s basically like an Explorer, only bigger. Less truck and 4x4, more tall station wagon.

Damn, Ford has gotten really weird with all the grille work lately. It’s like a design competition where everybody won, or something. At least the foglamp surrounds vaguely resemble the grille inlay. Had those been off, my mild-mannered OCD would have flown into a rage.

I don’t see the issue. Ford is turning it into a minivan, which is what the buyers actually needed in the first place.

At the same time, they’ve alienated Government buyers instead of appealing to them.
Look at the Suburban, the government sucks those up like crazy because of their SUV-ness.

Government is either going Tahoe or Explorer anyways.

Not necessarily.
They like their Suburbans more than Tahoes, or Explorers. Ford had a chance.

Untill we get specs you can’t say it has worse ground clearence or that it’s more bloated, so far we just got photos from a preproduction version of the highest trim of the Expedition. And I don’t think either one looks like a minivan at all.

It’s an Explorer front end on a Tahoe, basically.

What’s not SUV-ness about the new Expedition? It’s built on the F-150 platform and the Expedition MAX is basically a Suburban.

That is a lifted Suburban with the front lower air dam removed.
Stock Suburban:

Way too fat looking, looks like a slightly lifted Pacifica.
"Textured Soy Protein" (texturedsoyprotein)
02/07/2017 at 18:02, STARS: 4
You have a funny way of looking at things. The Pacifica is rounded with triangle details. The Expedition is square with square details except for the little triangles in the front fascia.
It looks almost exactly like a Tahoe, save for the front overhang is smaller and the painted part of the bumper hangs a bit lower.
But it is a body-on-frame truck. Not a unibody minivan.

I bet that trim thing below the doit’s is a srep that comes down, so the version without that might have better clearance. You can always do a few inch lift.
"BorkBorkBjork" (tbirdlemons)
02/07/2017 at 21:16, STARS: 0
It looks like a Z71, not a lifted truck. Stock Z71s have a completely different air dam setup.
And I think the air damn is removable too, at least it is on my Tahoe (previous gen). The Border Patrol took that to an extreme degree.
