The expedition still looks old and gm did an excellent job on the redesign of the tahoe, and also, gm sales have gone up and now they are FAR away from bankrupcy and Ford has just announced a cut on their trucks and SUVs next month, manufacturing over 200,000 vehicles less than last month.

Interesting.

This face-lift Expedition suddenly makes the Tahoe look fresh. I for one was disappointed with the new Tahoe, its conservative styling, cheap detailing and average interior...etc. But in fairness, it does make the Ford look like a dinosaur.

And the interior is a horrid blend of retro, classic and contemporary styles, merged together in a cheaply and poorly assembled array of mismatching colours and materials.

What a mouthful!

Classy? Not if you try too hard.

Which is what Ford has done, especially with the interior. The front looks fine, commanding and powerful, but from the wing mirrors back it looks like the out-dated truck that it is.

I agree that the Chevy truck looks better. What I don'[t understand is how Ford touts the expedition/explorer as "all new" when all they managed to do was uglify the front. I and not feeling the grill (same with the fusion) It looks sloppy and unrefined. sigh!
