I'm looking to upgrade my wife's daily driver to an Expedition. Budget wise I'm looking to be in the $15,000 to $20,000 range. Mileage wise I'd like to be around 100,000 or less. Pretty much only interested in Limited models unless I find a crazy deal. We would prefer the standard wheelbase model but would consider the EL for the right price. I'm seeing everything we want for the price we need but I'm looking for advice on if we should be looking for a 2014 or older or a 2015 or newer.
2015 was a refresh and the change from the 5.4L V8 to the TT 3.5L V6. The engine is my main concern. I know there were issues with the plugs on some V8s. I don't know if that was resolved at some year point or not. We would probably not buy older than 2012 or so. I don't know anything about the V6. Is there anything to worry about on them? Gas mileage isn't a big concern. We do have a boat we'll tow that with trailer, fuel, etc is under 3,500 lbs. We are probably looking at a 2015 or 2016 if we go the V6 route to stay within budget. I'd prefer 2015+ for the slightly updated look and increased interior tech but reliability is my main concern. Any suggestions or things to look for on these vehicles? We are not really interested in any other makes/models at this time.
