2015 ford expedition gets the ecoboost treatment

Just like the Navigator, the 2015 Ford Expedition gets a 3.5L Ecoboost engine. No funky tail lights or split winged grille.

Then call me lazy. Having owned a Minivan before stow and go seats I can attest to what a pain it is to remove rear seats. That would only be compounded with the taller ride height of the Suburban. It also depends on how frequently you need to go between seats up and seats out. We go between the two quite frequently so find the trade off well worth it. As way of comparison the EL has 130.8 cubic feet with seats down and the current suburban has 137.4. Also keep in mind that the 3rd row in the Ford has more room thanks to the IRS. My soon to be teen and growing rapidly sons thank me (well, they don't but should).

GM thanks Ford for their continued handing over of the car and truck markets to them. Does Ford seriously think that slapping on this pig things they bought at the import aisle at Advanced Autoparts and giving it a gas guzzling and problematic V6 is going to make it an anyway compete with the new GM SUVs? Hell, it doesn't even compete with the last gen GM SUVs. Way to phone it in Ford......yet again.

  Glad to see that you ignored GM's loss of market share and Ford's gains. It's a big world and I guess we can't all be bothered to do basic research.

  @UC17 You must be new here, Ford could release a truck that lasts for a million miles, gets 50 MPG, costs $8000, tows 40k pounds, and makes you pancakes while doing it and Z71 would still call it the biggest turd to ever exist at every conceivable opportunity as long as the badge says Ford.

  @azmtbkr81 +1 I still contend that a Ford ran over Z71's and Deadweight's puppy as a kid judging by their vitriol for Ford.

  @IHateCars Haha not even remotely true on either but nice try. Its sad when the truth is seen as hate. What it means is that some people are afraid to face the truth .

  @mkirk How so? Because Ford is fleet dumping their POS line of trucks (because they're threatened by GM and Dodge) to stay atop the sales charts?

  @IHateCars Is it related to the Ford Twin Cities Plant closing?

SCE to AUX My son cross-shopped the RAV4 and Model Y, then bought the Y. To their surprise, they hated the RAV4.

David Murilee Martin, These Toyota Vans were absolute garbage. As the labor even basic service cost 400% as much as servicing a VW Vanagon or American minivan. A skilled Toyota tech would take about 2.5 hours just to change the air cleaner. Also they also broke often, as they overheated and warped the engine and boiled the automatic transmission...
Marcr My wife and I mostly work from home (or use public transit), the kid is grown, and we no longer do road trips of more than 150 miles or so. Our one car mostly gets used for local errands and the occasional airport pickup. The first non-Tesla, non-Mini, non-Fiat, non-Kia/Hyundai, non-GM (I do have my biases) small fun-to-drive hatchback EV with 200+ mile range, instrument display behind the wheel where it belongs and actual knobs for oft-used functions for under $35K will get our money. What we really want is a proper 21st century equivalent of the original Honda Civic. The Volvo EX30 is close and may end up being the compromise choice.
