    I'd get a Jeep, since Ford decided to lose 4x4 on the Explorer.
    Probably not the Grand Cherokee though (unless it's the SRT version), but the Commander. Looks mean!

    when did Ford ditch the 4x4 feature? i checked their website and 4x4 is still available as an option in their SUV lineup.

    consider mo mga factors sir:

    interior space/seating capacity
    gas mileage
    comfort (you will not get the comfort of a car-like ride since both were built using a truck chasis)

    Expedition is so ordinary.

    Get an Audi Q7 or VW Touareg

    the Expedition has a better (i.e. more comfortable ride) on the highway and soaks up bumps more effectively. however, if you don't like disconnected, floaty steering and ride quality, you might say that the GC has a better ride for you. both of them are ridiculous with the gas consumption but i think the GC is a little better. also, for Manila roads, the GC is smaller and thus more maneuverable.

    for offroad use the Expedition is a capable truck but the Jeeps have a longstanding and very well deserved reputation for offroad prowess. their "Trail Rated" slogan is not just advertising.

    durability and reliability? they will never be as reliable as japanese cars, but they are decent. i woul give the edge to the marque that has cheaper/more readily available parts there in the phils.

    Neither sorry. Get a 4x4 Hi lux for off road and a nice sedan for on road. By doing this you get 2 cars for the price of 1, you get more in the end. Both the Jeep and Expedition will never sell 50% of what you paid for in 5 years.

    for 80% on road, then you definitely want to go with the expedition, I currently have a 2007 expy. I have had a 4x4 1999 F150 and a 1999 Grand Cherokee Laredo. and the Laredo is not in the same league as the Expy. Explorer ang katapat nya.
