How does that work, being "piped in"? Is it piped in the cabin so the passengers hear a V8?

Through the speakers. My understanding is that they came up with it due the turbo v-6 sound complaints they received from the early ecoboost trucks.

Synthesized engine sound is piped in on all models (likely to simulate the tone of a V8)

Is this a real thing?
Would have been much better to just build a 3.5L V8. It would be smoother and sound exponentially better. A reduction in displacement doesn't have to equal a reduction in cylinder count. Before long we'll all be stuck driving fart canons or silent electric cars.

Making extra noise INSIDE on purpose is idiotic.

Hate that the only option will be ecoboost on this burban/expedition hybrid

In the future if we're stuck driving some bland small displacement or electric cars that are fast but lack emotion and character, I don't think it's unquestionable to try to add some sense of character back in. You could pick from a variety of highly realistic sounds. For example you could simulate completely silent, an electric whir, shrieking Lamborghini V10, big cam V8, or a big turbo inline six. This could go further with simulated gear changes, including electronic clutch pedals and shifters that feel very much like the real thing. You should also be able to change your traction control and awd setting to give it more of a nanny free rwd feeling without allowing you to get into trouble (this is already implemented on many high end sports cars). Just food for thought.

Yes it is stupid if there is no way to disable it.

VW even does it with the 2.0T 4-cylinder engines. Makes me crazy.

I'd rather they have done something about the lag. When I jump on the go pedal from a stop, that means go NOW.

While I see some surburban in it, I see more fattened up explorer.

As much as I wished they'd moved to the ecoboost when we bought my wife's in 2012, I now find myself wishing they offered a 5.0 version.

Is this going to be like an RTIC vs Yeti? All the features at half the price?

Looks like the Yukon / 'Burb line, but less like a hearse.

I also see a bit of beefy explorer. Makes sense though, it's basically a suburban with some Ford design cues.

That said, I really like it. Hopefully the fiancee likes it better than a Tahoe in a few years when we have kids.

My wife is due for a new SUV. Her Ford Edge is getting past it's prime (but it's paid for) and with 2 kids it's not quite big enough for us. I think we'll test drive the Suburban and Expedition (bigger one). Curious what the best bang for your buck is.

Best bang for the buck for families is almost always a minivan.

Having driven both the current suburban and expedition I prefer the suburban.

I've told my wife we should consider a minivan for her next car. I drive a F-150 and don't see myself changing anytime soon. She didn't seem too keen on the idea of driving a minivan.

Check out the Flex or even better ecoboost Flex.

Those rear taillights are unnecessarily large in the side profile. Yikes.

It looks like someone at Ferd took a look at the Exploder and said, "Eh, multiply all dimensions by 1.2. That'll do."

Now if they'd just take the '18 Expedition, swap the F150 frame and the Explorer front end for F250 pieces, and the EcoBoost for a 6.7 Diesel, and give us back the Excursion!

I was stuck behind one of these today on the only good ass hauling corner anywhere near my house. I pulled up beside it at the red light and it looked like it came off of a Ford lot, impressive quality.

That gear selector knob is gay. What happened to the good old stick you throw into gear?

Looking at the pictures again is the rear cargo area that small in the current model with the third row up?

If you are talking about the non XL version, yes it is a small area.
