2018 Ford Expedition

I know I can shift gears faster with the knob than with any other type of shifter I've ever dealt with. It responds lightening fast. It's very easy to rock the truck out of an icy ditch because it responds so quickly. It's very easy to get used to. Non-issue. I agree about the parking pawl. At least I can hear it click into place.

I read the FREEP column. Looks like Ford is swinging for the fences here. But I wonder, is the 3.5L Ecoboost enough engine in this application for towing? The low profile tires (20" or 22" on the Platinum Edition, doesn't that affect towing? Are these multi-speed trannys CVT or what? Exterior kinda pedestrian, but how much styling can you do with a shoebox? Interior is certainly nice and can be ordered chock full of gee whiz gadgets. Last quesition: How much $$$$$$?

LOL! You gotta catch up with the times! the 3.5 Ecoboost is Ford's most powerful gas engine in the half ton and below categories, and holds its own very well against the v8 competition. My truck sits on 20" OEM rims which didn't affect its tow rating at all, nor does it negatively affect towing. I guess too low profile could be trouble waiting to happen. The 10 speed tranny is just that, a 10 speed, no CVT.
