The F150 is in the shop for some work that is getting covered under warranty (10 speed auto woes). So they graciously provided me with this biggly big Expedition.
It’s like driving my truck, only it feels a little smaller from behind the wheel. The lack of separation between body and cargo is noticeable and results in a more composed feeling from behind the wheel. The suspension is similarly soft vs. the F150. I wouldn’t say it is more plush, and at times it feels a little harsher from what I can tell.
It has the 3.5 EcoBoost, which I had seriously considered when I got my truck, but I opted for the V8 instead. Lots of torque down low but not as much action on the top end. Starts from a stop are less urgent than the truck (lack of boost?) , but the torque hits hard a split second later.
Ov erall I’m impressed. I could see myself getting one of these if I needed seating for 6-7 in comfort (hopefully this never happens).
Feel right at home from behind the wheel - there is a lot shared with the F150 here, which makes complete sense.
Aybeill see how much stuff I can pile into it this evening.

Everywhere. Essentially in the same places as the F150, but with extra ones for the third row. Four in the center console (same as f150). Two in EACH front door (why? Lol). One in each rear door. Three in third row area. There's no fold down in the third row, for some reason.

My mom’s GMT900 is on its deathbed. i wanted her to get one of those.
She ignored my requests and is probably getting a Suburban. #sad.

What’s up with the 900? A 6 speed auto Tahoe is on my list to eventually replace my GMT800 Silverado.

Well, lets just say it’s had a pretty rough life, so it’s not common of GMT900s.
When my mom went to the airport one of the suspension components (never saw it personally) gave up on the truck. Which is kind of ridiculous considering we bought the 3/4 ton model specifically because we’re constantly giving it hell.
The motor was also pretty bad, brakes too. and we also had an early 900 that had ignition problems.

Ah, so yea those are pretty much still the GMT800 2500s underneath just with more teething issues. I’d love to get a 6.0/6L90E Suburban but it makes no practical sense.
