Expedition vs Yukon

[Polo08816]

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)

I think the cost of the Expedition (or Ford in general) is a bit more transparent due to more dealers being present on the Ford forums.

The Ford dealers might be more transparent on the expedition price but their really sticking it to big Bronco customers. I would consider an expedition if something bad happened to my Yukon.

I haven't been able to see a new 22 Expedition but I can't believe it would be that much different to a 21. I really wish they gave the option of a v8 but maybe in the future they will give more options.

I test drove an Expedition a few years ago and my biggest takeaway was that the seat bottoms were too short and it felt like I couldn't get back into the seat far enough. The seats were designed for people with short limbs. Have they changed the seats in a major way since then?

It looks like the 22 model is all new, it has a huge touch screen

Agreed - I almost traded my previous Yukon Denali for an Expedition.
The expedition is a couple inches longer than the GM short SUVs (previous generation), and it makes a good bit of difference interior wise.
Couldn't get past the sound of the 3.5L V6 though. It certainly felt plenty peppy enough.

The interior got a refreshed which is much better comparing the old one. I am sure I will miss V8 but it's a family car so I had to consider other factors.

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

Really, though? Looks comparatively dull.

Really, though? Looks comparatively dull.

Looks can be subjective. I think the 2022 Expedition looks better than pre-2022 Expeditions.

Functionally, I think a strong argument could be made that an Expedition Limited Max with the Stealth Performance Package has better features than a GMC Yukon Denali XL:
- More comfortable seats
- Power adjustable pedals
- Better towing capabilities due to:
- 3.73 rear end

From an actual market price perspective, they are nearly equal. The MSRP of the Ford Expedition Limited Max with the Stealth Performance Package has a higher MSRP, but Granger Ford sells it for 3% under invoice. You'll probably wait 3-5 months for it. If you order a GMC Yukon Denali XL from Robideaux Motors, it's $300 above invoice but you could be waiting 9-12 months for it.

Looks like one dealership just posted a video of a 2022 Ford Expedition they received:

I haven't been able to see the 22 expedition in person but pictures seem like it's a pretty sharp looking ride. I still prefer the yukon but this waiting game and the pulling of all these standard items that we can't get back is killing me.

I like the contemporary styling of the limited stealth

Tell me more of the seat comparison have you sat in both, what were the major differences?

Pick your poison, the Yukon has acoustic laminated side glass where the Expedition has adjustable pedals. I prefer the more contemporary styling of the Expedition over the Yukon but I get a discount on GMs.

Choices are good but would be better if a proper test drive of the considered vehicles were possible fortunately I have a good vehicle and can afford to wait for sense to return to the situation for the frenzy to subside. When I tell sales people that I'm a patient man it let's the air out of them and they start looking at their phone for the next victim. Slow down people it's not the end of the world.

She said she has that same center screen in her car (must be a Mach-E) and she still fumbled around trying to figure out how to turn off the A/C. No thanks! Give me a display that can show a map and hard physical buttons and knobs below it. Looks like the lower trim level Expeditions offer that configuration.

A giant reflective screen, no thanks. I guess someone out there actually likes that sort of thing.

One of the first reviews to pop up on Youtube.

Just imagine the cost to replace that screen, $$$$, you'd lose control of everything in the cab if that thing quit.

So this one uses the 12" screen, but I think you're referring to that 15" screen.

Same applies for Air Ride suspension. When it fails, your vehicle is practically immovable.

Just my personal opinion but that long chrome trim strip is hideous

As a previous owner of 2019 Ram 1500 Limited with a 15” info unit that was bricked after an over the air update, I can concur with this statement. In my case it took months and lots of calls to get a replacement. One of the reasons I went for the AT4 trim is that I had dials for climate.

This. We currently have a 2020 Ram with the huge screen and I’m honestly not a fan. It should be smaller, horizontal in orientation, with more physical buttons below it like heated and cooled seats.
