"The Expedition EL stops, steers, and rides better than the new Suburban. The Ford's 60-0-mph stopping distance of 121 feet bests that of the Suburban by 9 feet, and its more communicative and accurate steering makes it easier to place precisely on the road. The independent rear suspension ensures the cabin is a calmer place for passengers than in the live-axle Chevy on bumpy back roads, and helps the big Expedition track better through the twisties."

The Expedition has always had more utility than the Tahoe, Suburban.... From the ridiculous B pillar infringing on access to the second row, and the NON folding third row seats. These two glaring deficiencies have been fixed in the new Tahoe, Suburban....

The Tahoe, Suburban out sell the Expedition on two things in my mind styling, and reputation. Clearly the public preferred them even with less utility!....they simply have a long history with millions of existing customers on the road willing to trade in on a shiny new Tahoe, Suburban! For this Expedition to make in roads will take lower price and lots of marketing......even then it will be marginal....


2017 can't get here soon enough for the Expedition......
