Bought a new Expedition

[JEBar]

does its motor require high test gasoline ..

No, regular 87 octane thankfully.

good to hear .... one of our daughter's in law recently bought a new Jeep Wagoneer with a turbo charged V6 .... she didn't know until after the purchase was final that it required high test gasoline .... lets just she isn't happy

I was not crazy about premium neither, when I purchased my 2021 Cadillac CT5. It has a twin turbo V6 at about 335 hp, that requires premium. Yet, I noticed that the acceleration was smooth and consistent using premium. Now, I use premium in all my vehicles, including my 2006 Tacoma. When I hit the accelerator, the vehicle moves.

Also, congratulations on your Expedition! I have been thinking about something to pull a camper. I was thinking about a Jeep Cherokee. But, I am also considering a Tahoe. Besides leg room, power is a factor. So, the Tahoe has edged out.

If you are thinking of pulling a camper, depending on the size, the Cherokee might not have the weight to stop it fully loaded. Also, if you decide you like the camper lifestyle, it won't be long before you upsize.

Me likes it! It looks like it’s a pearl in color.”


Ford calls it Star White Metallic Tri-Coat This is one of the foolish options that I didn’t need especially at an additional $995 But it does glow in the sunlight.

I’ve always liked that color although not $995 more.

Ain’t that the truth. In the boating world it’s called “two footits”. Gotta get a longer boat……In the camping world it’s the same only four footits and/or upgrading to a different type of camper. How do I know this……started with an 8’ pickup camper, wandered thru two travel trailers and now a motorhome.

Thanks Marine and Hatchdog!!

i would like to add a comment about Hatchdogs new ride. my Ecoboost Ranger calls for regular grade gas too. As long as you're not working it. When towing or working the truck, Ford recomends premium fuel. My Ranger is a 2.3 Ecoboost but the principal is still the same. I was told that you can't have eco and boost at the same time. every day driving regular is fine. work time, time for premium. By the way, that is one sharp looking rig.
