Is that all stock? Just wondering considering the 400hp part

Just let her pick..... we want judge.... the traverse is a great SUV my wife loves hers and is trying to decide between another one or Tahoe. We have 3 young kids so that plays a big factor.

Mrs. Irish drives a Mazda CX-5. She's got 80k on it so far and has been completely 100% trouble free. Oil changes every 7,500 miles per the manual. She consistently get nearly 30 mpg. She and I both like it because it handles like a sports sedan and even with the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder it has plenty of power.

I think within the year she is going to upgrade to a newer one. Mazda has gone upscale across their line and are now on par with Lexus, Acura, Infinity, etc... as far as fit, finish and materials. The new CX-5 and CX-9 are some of the best looking SUVs out there in my opinion.

You lost me at 4 cyl. I went for a 6 cyl Avalon to a 4 cyl Camry and there is no comparison.


Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable.

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.

Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?

Lexus GX are amazing, every one of them are 4x4. The used market is really fair on them too!

My wife has a 2018 Expedition and loves it. It's the perfect highway cruising machine. I averaged 23mpg's on a road trip to Key West and back with the cruise set at 80. 3.5 Ecoboost just like my F150 has.
