Ford underrates its MPG (opposite to Toyota where MPG numbers are sheer fantasy - I know, I have driven Toyotas and Fords for decades). I drove Ford Expedition Max (the long one, in XLT trim) loaded to the brim across the country, including cities, mountains, and got 20 MPG average for the whole trip. It really took me by surprise. If I were to buy an Expedition, I would definitely go for the Max version. I don't see any problem with the extra length with driving or parking, and it makes a big difference in cargo area.
Thanks for the insight! Probably if I had driven it more on highways, it would have lowered my average fuel economy number. I did notice that the fuel economy gauge was hovering around the 9-10 L/100km while on steady highway cruises.
Hoping ur right, I have the 23’ timberline, refusing to step on that 440 hp 97 percent of the time and driving on eco mostly, it has gotten me 16.8 mpg after 1700 miles and 3 months.. I’ll say it seems to be more rewarding recently after that 1500 miles or so.., I had a 2016 Tahoe with a 5.3 liter that got me exactly that with my same right foot! Cheers
I’ve never gotten 20 in mine back when I had one. Heck even towing probably around 2K, I was getting 10-12 mpg then. Now my explorer I can definitely get 20-23mpg depending on weight.
They don't have a MAX version for the Timberline unfortunately. Ford needs to make one. GM has an edge against Ford with the GMC Yukon XL AT4... But unfortunately GM has been destroying their vehicles by removing the 12v outlets and replacing them with underpowered USB ports.
I sat in both Tahoe and Timberline. The Timberline was much more comfortable for me. I found myself adjusting the seat in the Tahoe trying to get comfortable and never did. I did drive the Timberline and felt it drove smaller than what it was. Which is a good thing. Also drove a Limited. I did not like the feel of the 22's, but prefer the 18's probably due to the side wall difference. However, I did not put both into tight corners to compare and the 22's might win out there.
Ford needs to make a MAX version of this and add BlueCruise. GM makes the GMC Yukon XL AT4, but I hate GM vehicles due to the lack of 12v outlets inside.
I agree regarding not liking the AC being on the touch screen. Rather than distracting you, in Kuwait, a country -where I live- where the normal mid summer temprature is +50C°, I fear when running the engine, the touch screen would 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘻𝘦 and not respond due to the high temp and not being able to turn on the AC. This is the only thing I dislike in this trim. Thankfully, they only bring the low trim with physical AC buttons 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦.
Yep, that would be a problem. But it also happens around here with some other manufacturers. I had the scree freeze on me in the Volvo C40 (ua-cam.com/video/gtY0BCP8vMA/v-deo.html) and I couldn't do anything in turning on/off the heated seats, climate control, radio, etc all because they were integrated into the touchscreen and don't have physical buttons.
Not so much the Timblerlands though. I do see a lot of used 2020-2022 Expeditions for sale. Plan on getting a used 2022 Expedition Limited once I’m back in the states. Their prices keep dropping and can’t beat it.
I know the pain. We have just as high, or higher, gas prices here in BC. Ford should add the Powerboosy hybrid engine in this. That could solve the problem.
Unfortunately, most "off-road" trims usually only have one specific wheel option. I think only if the vehicle is made for off-roading (like the Bronco), then there are more options for off-road wheels.
I don't have a million subscribers and a lot of influence with the auto manufacturers. So I have to be respectful with their vehicles and return them without damage or scratches otherwise I won't get cars from them in the future.
@@CapoXC sorry, I didn't realize I was the first on youtube to have a title like this. 🙄😅 The point of this SUV is to be able to go off-roading with the entire family. Just because I didn't take my family and go off-road in this video doesn't mean that you can't do it with this SUV.
@@desertsavagery read my previous replies. If youtube was my only job and I didn't have a regular 9-5 that actually pays the bills, I would've spent more time filming and going to other places with it.

I felt the same when I reviewed the GMC Sierra vs the Ford F150. I found the seats in the Ford just a bit more comfortable than those in the Sierra.

Yep, definitely nice to see prices somewhat dropping back down.
I want a full size but living in Ontario the cost of fuel is astronomical 😢

@@MGReviewsBlog I wish Ford would do that too. Plus having ProPower is going to be great for camping.
I wish you could choose a different rim. Not everyone likes black rims (like me). I'd take them off, replace them, then sell them.

Don't say Going off-road with the entire family and not go off-road.

@@MGReviewsBlog doesn’t change the fact that the title is very misleading

Honestly I came here looking for some off-road activities to compare it to my Z71 Suburban and left with the same frustration.
