Alamo full size SUV - which would you choose?
Hi All,
Looking for a bit of advice I have a full size seven seater SUV booked for August. The booking says it will be a Ford Expedition "or similar ". I know that I'll be able to choose from a row of cars. Anyone know what my choices are likely to be? Which would you look for and why? Thanks, Amanda |

We have had 2 Expeditions and a Gmc Yukon. The Yukon was bigger but the Expeditions were nicer to drive. Hoping for a Tahoe this year.

No. It's just not having had one before we would like to try one.

From the inside it will look virtually the same though, apart from the badge on the wheel and some different colour combos.
Still a magnificent bit of kit to drive.

Getting Excited

We’re here now and ended up with a Nissan Armada. It’s a beast. Very impressed with it but kinda feel like we missed out on the Tahoe that pulled up next to us when we were leaving. With 3 exhausted kids in tow it wasn’t an option to move and start packing again. It’s drinking the gas but I’m not so bothered as we feel very safe and it’s really powerful.

Can someone tell me if the keys for these are in the car or is it the same as the luxury category and you have to see one of the Alamo guys?

The Expedition has a V6 turbo "ecoboost" engine which develops a colossal amount of torque. I found it amusingly fast for such a big tank of a car.
The Tahoe/Yukon has a traditional V8 with no turbo, but still quite quick and sounds nicer. It will use a bit more fuel but then gas is so cheap it doesn't really matter! I've never considered the Armada as we prefer a bit of Americana but if the choice was a high-spec one of those or a low spec Tahoe etc we'd pick that. Just look for one that has leather seats, cloth = low spec. Last time we found only a Nissan but when asked at the desk a shiny new Expedition was whisked round for us. |
