purchased a new Tahoe premier today. Went to buy a well equipped LT but ended up spending more. I tow a heavy ski boat so I wanted the auto leveling. Paid just over 60k on a window sticker of 72k. So far impressed. But right out of the gate I have a speaker that is screeching. Going in for its first repair.

Really like the heads up display and decent gas mileage so far. Looked at the 2017 expedition and just couldn't do it. The chevy styling is just so sharp. I will now be a regular here. I really hope this will be a good long lasting truck.

Congrats!! Excellent choice.

I would not be able to do the Expedition either..I prefer the Tahoe to the 2017 or even the new style 2018 Expedition..I agree the Tahoe styling is a million times better.

Welcome from Miami Beach Chris!!

Congrats - I also took a peek at the Expedition before buying my Yukon and really no contest. Looks like Ford styled the 2018 more externally similar to the Tahoe/Yukon.

I'm 100% happy with our Tahoe, though the 2018 Expedition is going to be an impressive option. To me it looks like a 15% larger Explorer, with definite Range Rover cues as Ford has been doing lately. It will have the good Sync infotainment system and the Ecoboost engine, which is good when you live at 6400 feet as I do. It might not look as athletic as the Tahoe/Yukon, to my eyes, but definitely nice.

Congrats! As someone else mentioned, if you were considering the 17 expedition, you should have waited two months to test drive the all new 18 expedition. Light years ahead of the current model.

The interior leaves a lot to be desired IMO.

And that grill. Reminds me of Russ!

I hear ya...i'd take the ford front clip and tahoe rear, however. Not sure why but The chevy front clip still doesnt flow with rest of body to me.

From what little I've seen in person so far, the overall quality and fit and finish of the interior seems a step up from our SLT. Not sure about the layout and ergonomics though .

I really like the Lincoln front end but HATE the back. Looks like an Oldsmobile from the 80's.

450HP, massage seats, 12" driver LCD etc. looks very nice. Guess I'd have to see in person to really get a feel for it. I'd never buy first year in production but in a year or two when I'm ready to start looking I'm glad there will at least be other full size, 3 row options.

^^ yes and yes^^

Yeah, I have a feeling the rear of both will look too soft and we van'ish like. We'll see. I did not care for the 15 Yukon and definitely the tahoe when first revealed..
