Ford vs. Chevy

[AKguy]

The expedition look does not bother me, but the engine is horrid. Refresh is needed, like 2 years ago.

I think ford motors are great, with the exception of the 4.6's in a truck. They're great for Ford cars but have to work double overtime in the trucks. The only expedition I could bring myself to buying would be black on black or a King Ranch, but the King Ranches are scarce and pricey.

They're BOTH great vehicles! I prefer the blue oval first, chevy second. FORD did not need a socialist czar to bring them back to profitability but i prefer their interior design and ergonomics over chevy. I drive BOTH regularly so I can compare them fairly. Chevy Duramax is AWESOME! It gets way better mileage than the ford and handles extremely well. I'd be happy with either one. There is no bad choice, just a personal one.

Tahoe doesn't have an Isuzu engine in it, only gas burners.

Reliable, yes. 5.4 is a lack luster engine. 4.6 was lack luster as well, but reliable. I'm glad the 6.2 and the 3.5 EB has came out, finally back on top of the competition through and through.

What years and engine are you looking at?

Yea, but 6.2 gets like 10 mpg. I need to stay around 15+ avg to justify my move.

Strong engine. I would run a 3.5 EB period. No questions asked.

3.5's are bad ass engines, and fast as hell. But 2 problems: (1) V6 doesn't seem right in a truck, (2) the only loaded F150 crew cabs with the 3.5 are $40k+ and that's just more than I'm looking to dish out right now.

Even without boost, that V6 makes more power than the old 4.6 and 5.4 lol. I know they aren't cheap though

Take the bouncing bed elsewhere

Sound of 5.4 alone is enough to make me eat the fuel cost. It's got that perfect hum/growl combo.

Nothing sounds better than an old Chevy 350. But the 327 5.3 is a close second
