Detailed review: |
I do like this truck (my wife hates me calling it that). However it is not near the vehicle that my two Sequoia's were. I've had the rear end replaced at 7000 miles. It went into 4wdLOW on my wife while she parked at a gas station 500 miles from home. It handles like it looks, big and slow. However it is the ultimate for hauling kids, junk or pulling a boat.
My wife didn't like the Infiniti FX45 as the family vehicle so I kept it for myself and traded my 350Z for the Expedition for her.
Biggest complaint: $47,000 vehicle, 1 year old, High Book now at $25,000. Fortunately with the X plan and rebates I got $11,000 off but that's still a huge hit. Don't like to do it, but would have been better off buying a low milage used one. This one has depreciated so much that I have to keep it now. I usually trade every two years, but the loss on this one will force me to keep it unbtil it's paid down some. That's probably a good thing anyway. |
