2018 Ford Expedition
Looks like a nice vehicle, but I'm not sure what to say about that dial knob business. Link

No, I'm asking legitimate questions. Well aware of the Ecoboost engine's capabilities in cars and the F150, but if not mistaken, aluminum body or not, the Expedition is going to be heavier than an F150 (more body metal and seats). The powertrain, including the transmission is new/relatively new technology and purposed toward fuel economy to keep the Feds happy first, and by extension allowing Ford to keep the vehicles on the market. Long term and for towing, I legitimately wonder how this plays out over time. If these technologies achieve meeting consumer needs and keeping the regulators happy, great for Ford and other manufacturers adopting the technology. I'm not necessarily a disciple of 'no replacement for displacement' but these direct injection turbocharged gas engines over time.....how will they fare?
As for the tires, I just wonder how tires that look like they belong on a pimp daddy boulevard cruiser enhance ride and handling, towing or not. I drove an 'old school' Expedtion as a staff vehicle in the fire service for a number of years. Good, reliable and capable truck.
