Expedition vs Yukon

[WalleyeMikeIII]

Agree, I have used the button a few times.

Half the stuff that guy says is unintelligible. I just can't listen to him talk.

I'd have to agree. I've only watched his Yukon reviews while doing my research and they're painful to watch because of his enunciation and talking speed. And he ends all his sentences with, "And that's all there is for that."

He also has a "2022 Denali review" where he states, "Today I'm going to be reviewing a 2022 ..." and it's clearly a 2021.

Regardless, I think the Denali looks way better than the Expedition. Just can't get excited about it.

What I have noticed over the years of owning both TYF and EF(ExpeditionForum.com) is that the SUV market is dominated by GM. Not exactly sure why but to me, the older expedition's look and design couldn't hold a candle towards the tahoes. GM had just made a much better vehicle then Ford did.

Ford finally smartened up and created a great SUV design with the new Expeditions that will now slowly take GM's stake in the SUV market. Give it a few years and sales of Expeditions will creep closer and closer to Tahoe sales.

I mean if this were 2017 you’d be right. But ford has had a few years and they haven’t.

I use the front camera to park my '21 yukon in the garage, it's easy to get the camera open from the display. I wish it would turn on the front view automatically at 5 mph or less, kinda like the rear view opens when reverse is selected.

 

[WalleyeMikeIII]

My front cam turns on when i get close enough that the parking assist is in the red.

Mine turns on at the 1st beep of any front sensor if you are less than 5 mph…

Front cam on ours comes on at random but there seems to be no rhyme or reason. Example, when parking in our garage the front sensors beep and vibrate each and every time but the camera only activates about a quarter of the time. I don't get close enough to anything for sensors to get into the red and I crawl into the garage because the side mirrors are super tight on each side so definitely under 5 mph

The Expedition is a great vehicle. I have had two along with many GM’s. I currently have a 22 Sub Z71 and 21 Denali Ultimate.

I had a 2020 Expedition Plat with Heavy Duty Tow (3.73).

I love the looks of the new GM’s. They are hard to beat. Our Denali is a head turner.

However Ford has an overall great package. The V6 is a brute and with them adding the Raptor version with 510ftlbs it will absolutely outperform the 6.2…. Won’t sound as good, but will out perform.

Seats aren’t even close, ford wins. Plus they have had massage for a long time now.

GM wins with air ride. I love that feature. No squatty rear when towing, plus love the ability to raise the vehicle off road or deep snow. Also the screen…. I agree I’m not a huge fan of the giant floating screen.

The Wagoneer is actually better than both. It takes the good qualities from Ford and GM. I drove one all day last week. Drives, handles, tons of power, sounds great,and interior is incredibly nice… I just can’t get past the looks! Not for me.

Competition is great. I believe GM will continue their dominance. Their looks just appeal to more people. Now if we could just get the darn things!

If my '21 Yukon started having problems (electrical, lifter) I would consider getting rid of it for an Explorer and give GM a few years to fix their issues. I really like the Yukon and the Ford has some nice features but I couldn't buy the Jeep, the side view is ugly. The Wagoneer price is almost that of the Denali, and I much rather have a Escalade than a Grand Wagoneer.

My 21 loaner has 50k miles on it. 5.3… it shakes a little when it idles, but seems pretty solid. I’m sure rentals aren’t treated very well….No reason this vehicle can’t be as solid as any….

 

[Baja_Bob]

I took a rented Tahoe from Detroit to St.Louis a couple years ago. Driving that truck got me hooked on the big SUVs. A few months later I sold my Acadia and bought a Yukon XL in 2019. Upgraded from the '19 to a '21 SLT XL last fall.

Chevy shake at idle with gassers is a real deal. It's almost like their signature trait. Anyone who doesn't think so is either in denial or not very observant. It's very subtle on our '21 but it's for sure there. Our '11 felt like the engine wanted to jump out from under the hood at idle but ran and drove fantastic otherwise

My 2012 has no noticeable shake and idles smoothly. I'm not saying I'm not in denial but I'm really **** about how my truck is running.

Mommy won't let me say ****.

Just saw this comment, you guys are cool with your front park assist. Wonder what my front cam will do since I won’t have front park assist on my Denali lmao

Yes, cool w/ the front park assist, seems to work. You will get it, just will have to wait for the retrofit.

2022 Q1 figures are ideal for GM against its competitors because, realistically, there were no competitors in Q1.

The 2022 Ford Expedition basically wasn't delivered for Q1 because that's when they had a gap going from the 2021 model year to the 2022 model year production.

The Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are completely new so it'll be interesting to see sales over the next few quarters.

The Toyota Sequioa doesn't start deliveries until August 2022 for the 2023 model year.

It's hard to guess what the production output will be, but by 2022 Q4, I wouldn't be surprised if Ford starts delivering an extra 15,000 Expeditions, Jeep an extra 10,000 of the Wagoneers and Grand Wagoneers combined, and Toyota delivers 5,000 - 10,000 Sequoias. If GM's competitors start delivering an extra 20,000 or more units combined per quarter, we should start to see some dealer stock inventory start to show up on dealer lots. This would be especially true if GM also increases production and the economy starts to struggle and demand decreases.

I just tested this out to verify and my front cam for sure DOES NOT come on when the sensor thing on the dash gets into the red. I got out and front bumper was a few inches off a building column
