Expedition vs Yukon

[SerialNo1]

I know folks have certain opinions about turbo V6s but the 3.5L eco boost I have in my truck (same as what goes in the expedition I believe) throws me back HARD in my seat when I hit the gas with purpose. Like makes me nervous at some times the with the rocket like boost at 400hp and 500lb feet of torque. I also average over 20mpg and have achieved 25mpg on a few highway road trips. I’d actually love if they offered something similar in the Yukon as standard.

I've heard good things about the engine but I just wish they gave options like they do with the F150's that way people can choose what they want instead of being forced into just 1. Maybe one day they will start to dabel in the turbo diesel relm as well... one can only hope.

They had a redesign for the 2022 edition. I'm not sure what the 21's looked like but the 22's are actually pretty nice. I have a 17 F250 Platinum and you are right about those being outdated. Definitely an upgrade for interior design between my truck and the Expedition.

One other thing I should note. It kept freaking out when I tried to get on it hard whilst in cruise control. Not sure if it was CC related, but it threw a CEL and went into limp mode for a few seconds until I backed off. I actually thought it was about to shut down on me and strand me, but it all went away when I backed off the throttle and coasted for a few hundred yards. It happened a couple of times. Car only has a few k miles on it. I don't think there was anything wrong with it, I just don't think it likes to be driven aggressively. It wasn't a good thing tho ... one minute I was going 80 passing someone next thing you know I almost got run over because it almost shut down on me on the fast lane.

I don't mind waiting a bit if I need to order one, but we placed our order for the yukon in October and it still hasn't been accepted yet. I get the constraint and chip issues but if Ford can get these out quicker, then GM might start to see their sales slip if people can't wait. We have our 3rd kid coming in July so time is crunching now for us.

That is a long time to wait. I had the same need as you and the order I placed in November never was accepted. I was looking at every Tahoe coming in to dealerships around me and got lucky to find the RST I have.

I can get into a Yukon that I want, not one with barely any options just to have one.

paying this much for a vehicle, it should certainly have every option you want. When I saw the constraints getting worse each week, I was close to giving up and just waiting for the 23s

It's a crazy time we live in not only in the vehicle purchasing world. Unfortunately for us we need a new vehicle and we are house hunting as well... keep us in your prayers lol

Alot of people say, "No way I'm paying that" and "I'll wait it out" but many people NEED a vehicle and need one right now due to various valid reasons.
Look for the best deal you can, but have to do what you have to do to keep your family going. No shame in switching brands or buying what's available even if it isn't perfect... Good luck...

Concerning Expedition Vs.Yukon: go look at the expedition website you'll be back.

Edit: should read expedition forum

Wow!! I certainly will. That is a stressful time. Gave me deja vu, I was doing that a few years ago, pre Covid though, so doesn’t compare to how difficult it is now. Good luck and just take it one day at a time!

LOL, i agree and would wait for the new Yukon. Its probably just a few more months wait and given that people keep their cars for years, the Yukon will be worth the wait.

My only problem is there isn't much waiting left I can do. My 3rd child is due in July and it's not going to be very easy getting the whole family into a F250. My plan is if I can't get into the Yukon before the Expedition is build, I'll keep the Expedition for a couple years and trade that in for the current model year Yukon. Ultimately we will be in one eventually, just a sucky time to be in the market for anything right now.

That couple years will put you at the refreshed 2024 model. Which should have super cruise at the minimum. Alot of those optional features will become standard. Tech will get improvements. You won’t be rushed to pick what is available. Not bad at all.

Buy your house before you buy your vehicle, could affect what you qualify for on your mortgage. Housing is way out of sight and people are crazy purchases.

There's nothing on the Ford Expedition website that would make me rule out an Expedition over a Yukon.

The need for a vehicle outweighs the house. We are more trying to see what we can do with a house but we are able to wait another year if need be.

Sorry my slip. I was thinking of the Expedition forum concerning quality problems. Just one man's opinion.

I'm not trying to go to bat for the Expedition but you will get quality problems with any manufacturer you look at. I've been frequenting their forum and there's a lot of good things being said about it. Honestly, I really would prefer the Yukon but I just can't keep waiting and to top it off they keep pulling out features because of the chip issues.

Yeah I'm on there as well. Just waiting for more people to take delivery and review the 2022 Expedition.

I was just at the Portland, OR auto show and Ford had a sticker on all of their vehicles saying if you did a test drive that day you'd get a $1500 voucher and you could add that to the current $1000 rebate for a custom order. It didn't seem like there were many restrictions other than models like the F150 Lightning, Shelby GT500, etc.

Not sure if Ford's production part situation is better than GM's? Either way, Ford seems to be getting aggressive with pushing the custom build process. From what I've gathered lurking on the Expedition forum, Ford has a much better portal for you to check on the status of your build.

Parts shortages is why we neeed to tell the manufactures if they must have cheap labor move all manufacturing in China to India. A good allie that speaks fluent English, the same or lower labor rates, Smarter people, and not communists.

It's happening. In my day job, many of my suppliers have already, or are in the process of moving their production out of China. Also, on a personal level I have bought various items over the last couple of years and I always look to see where it's manufactured. The most shocking one was an Oral-B toothbrush that said "Made in USA."

NO POLITICS OF ANY KIND OR SOME HERE WILL BE ON VERY LONG VACATION!

Consider this a warning.

I left some comments in another thread. I actually ordered 22 expedition timberline instead of Chevy Tahoe Z71. Other than the V8 engine, expy seems to be a better kids friendly/family car and it costs less. (At least in my area where all GM dealers have markups)
