Life is good. And, lest we forget, Ford already has two very successful large SUVs in the market. Competing with Tahoe, Yukon, et al, are the Ford Expedition and the closely related Lincoln Navigator. These two vehicles very adequately represent where this segment of the market is headed. Technically trucks, the Expedition and Navigator, like their GM counterparts, couldn't be further from the work horse trucks of just a decade or so ago.
Expedition offers living room comfort and amenities galore.
In recent test drives of these two rolling rec rooms, I was duly impressed. Not only do these trucks give you all the comforts of home in a modern truck package they do it with decent power, very nice handling characteristics and a ride that seems more appropriate to the luxury sedans they emulate. Odds are that's pretty much the role of Expedition in real life and perhaps a tad ambitious for the typical Navigator. Still in all, these two trucks have shown me in the past that they can take to the woods with aplomb. In their natural habitat, home and garden center parking lots and soccer fields, Ford's pair of big sport utes is a winning one-two punch.
