2019 Ford Expedition Max
We have a 2011 Yukon XL Denali. My wife drives it in winter, and we use it to tow our 7000 pound boat on trips we also take the RV (pulled by my truck). We have had the Yukon for a little over 3 y...

Have you driven one and compared it to your Yukon XL?
From my signature, you can see I have the latest Suburban. Previously we had a 2012 Yukon XL and my impression is the interior is far better, but some of the fit and finish lacks what goes into a BMW. We never had a problem with squeak or rattles in the Yukon XL and it had over 125k miles when we replaced it with the Suburban.
I have driven several Expeditions as rentals with work. My impression is that the Expedition has very sensitive steering and it felt like I was constantly correcting the steering. This got very fatiguing on a 2000 mile road trip. At the end of that trip I couldn’t wait to turn that one in. The last one I rented was a 2019 Max in January of this year. Still has the same steering feeling to me. Honestly, I was underwhelmed with the Ecoboost in it. I guess I was expecting more apparent superiority over my 5.3L. I have also driven F150’s with the Ecoboost that performed better in my opinion. I don’t know how the ride that I experience would do towing. Coworkers who have also driven the Expedition have said the same thing.
