[QUOTE="FishReaper, post: 127549, member: 203"] They are going eco this year. We just bought a 2008 Expedition EL so far other than the fuel use I love it. I am a die hard Ford guy but was wary about buying a 5.4. I wouldnt touch a 04-06 5.4 with a 10 foot stick. but Ford did get some ( not all ) of the bugs worked out on the later years. The chevy 5.3 is a great engine. the transmission behind it is the weak point. As far as interior I feel Ford wins. Fold flat rear seat is awesome instead of taking them out or just flipping them up. Also the 3rd row in a Ford is more usable. a Chevy the back seat is almost on the floor and it puts you in a very uncomfortable seating position. The Ford has the floor pan deeper so a normal size human can be comfortable. We looked at a few suburbans and expeditions. The Ford to use was a better fit. Towing the Chevy has a solid rear axle so to me its a win. I dont like IRS. Drive both. Both are great vehicles. both have strong points and weak points Buy what makes you and the Mrs happy. [/QUOTE]
