I have been researching this car since Jan. Would be my first high cost car ourchase, and because of the sticker Im leaning towards top line (platinum). Hoping this forum can help me make the final decision between Limited and Platinum.
I want a car i love internally and expernally that is going to last me 150k miles +
My fiance and brother have only owned fords. My brothers expendition has 187k miles and still rides amazingly well. My fiances 16 yr old f150 hasnt even hit 100k yet, and i love that truck,
My requiresments: leather (light), AWD, rear camera, heated seats, smooth suspension, traveling convenience (chargers, bluetooth), dual zone heat/ac
Limited (L) vs platinum (P) for me:
(L)
Sligtly cheaper, but Only $4k less than platinum, but has ability to add some interior options without getting all the fluff i dont need.
Both rear rows will fold flat, 3 rd row has electronic fold
Had lots of bells and whistles withiut the platinum price.
(P)
Interior is beautiful. I appreciate the black integration with the light leather. Im not a fan of the all beige doors of the limiteD. At this pricepoint i need to love the interior, and i do on this model
Noise control of interior and a cushioned suspension (on par with expedition)
Captn. Chair option, although i wonder if it impacts flat fold of rear seats
I prefer the darker machined wheels over shiny chrome
In closing: is the suspension on platinum that much different As well as the noise control? Those are features of my brother expedition that i find incredible, but i have no interest in The expeditions size.
Have read poor reviews on interior comfort. I find both the edge and explorer to be very comfortable.
Thx.
