With these expanded offerings, the new Ford Expedition SUV is poised to attract new customers who are more culturally diverse than the full-size SUV category has seen in past years, including more women seeking family adventures to balance the stress of their overprogrammed lives.

Wow, great lookin truck.. totally worth $7500

The original Explorer was the best. I’ll give you $8000.

I think the payload rating generally assumes a full tank of fuel. Still surprisingly easy to hit 1500, though. Four adults at 200lbs each, a bed cover (100-250lbs), 200lbs of stuff, and your max hitch weight is now a whole 250lbs.

Not at all. They go together. A travel trailer has about a 15% tongue weight. So say you have a 12000 lb towing capacity, 15% of that on the tongue would be 1800 lbs of payload. In the highest spec Tundra, I couldn't tow that and sit my fat ass in it let alone passengers. I had a 2015 F150 with over 11000 lbs towing…

Just take a look at the trucks rolling around during hunting season. You could have an easy 1000 to 1200 lbs of people in the truck alone, all sorts of gear, dead animals, and a trailer with a couple 4 wheelers in it. That’s not an odd scenario and it exceeds nearly all 4 wheel drive 1/2 ton truck capacities, in some…

Those are some nice facts. But I’m worried they’ll get in the way of us getting more Tundra articles. We only have 5 today. If we can’t post frivolous comparisons that are incorrect, how will we shit on the Tundra? 

Yeah, this was a fairly bad take. The off-road trims have a payload penalty, calling it the “top trim” and then making conclusions is bad.

“Sure, it may be the most likely to get to a million miles, but how many owners own one beyond 50k miles, let alone 100k or 200k where the reliability difference probably just starts to show.”

Reliability difference starts to show around 60k miles. 

11.3% of original owners keep them 15 years or longer, which is 1.8x the average. It’s ranked 5 on the list of cars kept longest; a list dominated by Toyota. 

You just can’t win— if the cops decided to let him go and pick him up later, and he drifted off the road because he was drunk and the outcome was the same the police department would face even more scrutiny for allowing a drunk driver to speed off with kids in the car and not acting to protect them.

What if this guy was a pedo and had your kids in the car instead of his own at 1 a.m.? The officer had no way of knowing whose kids they were. You can’t just let him go.

Yes this is definitely not the fault of the guy who decided to drive drunk with his children in the car and then take off from a traffic stop. Had the police not tried to stop him, and he had killed his kids (and maybe other people) in a DUI crash, the police would be blamed for not stopping him.

Got you covered. Go in style and 40 mpg:

How else would you prove that you are a true outdoorsman than driving around with an RTT on your roof for months only to use it a few times a year?

Close enough?

“And it wouldn’t be a Subaru without standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive”

They could pull a Chrysler with their existing lineup and continue to sell the same old dinosaur platforms for the next 15 years. “It’s not a NEW model...”

Gas tax is one of the most reliable ways to get tax money from the poor.  In a country where 40+ percent pay effectively no income tax it wont take long for the government to figure it out and get their money.
