    A year that DOESN'T have massive transmission issues?

    We have a 2019 MAX XLT, no trailer package, never towed anything. Tranny blew up at 30kmiles. Completely rebuilt under warranty but still a hassle. At 45kmi now and not sure I wanna risk it happening again, another user on here mentioned that at a certain point in 2019, they change the tranny...

    Decision Dilemma: Keeping or Parting Ways with Our 2019 Expedition Max – Seeking Insight and Opinions

    Agree, yeah $80k plus T&L plus interest is probably $115k after all said and done. I totally get where you're coming from. As a Toyota enthusiast myself, it's disappointing to see the Sequoia fall short in terms of design and functionality compared to competitors. It seems like Toyota missed...

    Decision Dilemma: Keeping or Parting Ways with Our 2019 Expedition Max – Seeking Insight and Opinions

    Agreed! The GMs have major issues as well…engines needing replacing after 5kmiles. the wife rented a Sub when the Max was in the shop and she loved it. Refinement was much better inside and out, felt like a luxury car…ride noticeably better than the MaX. Agreed about FCA, I’m with ya and...

    Guessing by your name, are you in CA? If so I am as well and haven’t seen any discounts on Tahoe/Suburban anywhere. The only discounts I’ve seen are from dealers in Michigan that are advertising employee deals discounts that most people don’t qualify for. In terms of inventory, not sure where...

    Decision Dilemma: Keeping or Parting Ways with Our 2019 Expedition Max – Seeking Insight and Opinions

    Agreed, here in The Peoples Republic of California…all Tahoes/Suburbans are MSRP plus add ons. The Tahoes/Suburbans ride like a dream compared to the Expedition. Wife Rented one when the Expedition needed the Cams done…she loved it and I noticeably felt the difference going over the same...

    We replaced the factory tires with Michelins at 18kmi due to wear. Got the best Costco had, 80kmi warranty…they’re just about done with less than 30kmi on them.

    Decision Dilemma: Keeping or Parting Ways with Our 2019 Expedition Max – Seeking Insight and Opinions

    The 100k on any tire is impressive. We had to replace our factory tires at 18kmiles. Went with the Michelins, best ones Costco had, 80kmi warranty…they’re done after maybe 30kmi.

    Decision Dilemma: Keeping or Parting Ways with Our 2019 Expedition Max – Seeking Insight and Opinions

    Yeah with 5 kids, the options are limited! However we rarely are all in the car but still. Not sure why Toyota started putting these huge aircraft carrier sized center consoles, they’re not even that functional. We’ve replaced the tire’s already, factory tires lasted 15kmiles, with the best...

    I hear ya. Yes the ride quality of our Expedition is awful, bouncing, jarring over every bump. A vehicle this heavy should be able to go over a speed bump and not even feel it. This one my head hits ceiling and my kidneys ache! I would get a new Sienna in a heartbeat, much better ride and...

    The fronts were replaced under warranty due to leaking. I guess I find it hard to have a brand new vehicle to have to get all brand new shocks but I’ve heard of people doing that. Are the Bilsteins that much better ride?

    Decision Dilemma: Keeping or Parting Ways with Our 2019 Expedition Max – Seeking Insight and Opinions

    Overall it’s an impressive vehicle when it doesn’t break. If the dealer experience was better it wouldn’t be such a big deal…still a pain but less of one if they offered comparable loaners or rentals.

    Haha yeah you’re never gonna find 0% anymore…tough going for prices on anything nowadays let alone cars. So damn pricey!

    First year cars scare me though, not to mention the entry $ is so high nowadays

    With 7 people, sports gear, friends etc to tote around. There’s not much out there for a family our size. You have the MAX, suburban/yukon xl, or minivans….id love to get a Minivan for the wife but she already had 2 before the MAX and she won’t go back.

    Very tempting however I can’t get over the $80k plus high interest rates, kills it for me. The Tahoe is very nice tho!

    I forgot mention the shocks leaking at 20kmi. The wife rented a Suburban the last time the MAX was in the shop and its night and day in comfort and ride. Everything about the Suburban is better than the MAX. The issue I’ve heard though is the engine end up blowing up, some with 1000 miles on...

    Thank you for the advice. We rented a Suburban at it was night and day with the ride quality. The suburban soaks up all the bumps with was and minimal jarring. But the GMs have their share of issues with the valves failing, some within a few thousand Miles, due to the AFM system which is...

    Yeah it’s tough for me to get over the interest rates these days. It’s an XLT with the 202a plus drivers alert and Nav.

    Decision Dilemma: Keeping or Parting Ways with Our 2019 Expedition Max – Seeking Insight and Opinions

    Thank you…yes $80k after interest it’s a $110k vehicle worth $30k in 6 years if you’re lucky! Agreed on the perception of reliability on the new Toyotas, I think all new cars have some sort of issue. I guess it’s a matter of how good the dealer is in fixing it.

    Decision Dilemma: Keeping or Parting Ways with Our 2019 Expedition Max – Seeking Insight and Opinions

    Appreciate the input, yeah not sure what tranny it has. According to the first rebuild, it was a $9k fix, warped pieces, metal shavings etc…all at 30kmi. I’ve heard of the Toyotas having issues as well…I think every car companies don’t plan on people keeping cars long anyways so no need to...

    Decision Dilemma: Keeping or Parting Ways with Our 2019 Expedition Max – Seeking Insight and Opinions

    Seeking input on whether to keep our 2019 Expedition Max with 44k miles. Acquired new in Nov. 2019 for $54k after an $11k discount and 0% financing $0 Down. It meets family needs as we have 5 kids but has a harsh ride, frequent interior issues, and poor reliability, including a several rebuilt...

    Planning on getting new Ford Expedition 2024

    100% agree…been a Toyota guy for some time And the wife wanted an Expedition MAX so we bought one new in 2019. In the first 40kmiles we had the following repairs: 1. Rear End Knock issue rebuilt 3 times (there’s a tsb) 2. Full Transmission rebuild at 30kmi When I mean full, I mean full...

    2025 Expedition details

    I absolutely agree with the gigantic screens! Call me old (49) but I personally have no need for them. Get rid of them, they don’t age well and if the ever go bad, mucho $$&. ditto the rear suspension, not sure if it’s our particular expedition (2019 Max) but the suspension is horrible…a...
