Even the gas minivans are one notch down from the old Triton in terms of engine size. Then there is the availability of diesels should you consider them.

Inisip ko rin yan. Malaki lang premium over the bagsak resale ng big suv, especially ford. I'm buying used, and it seems an expedition is coming out way cheaper than most other units. Baka offset din fc sa discount that I get. May kausap ako now, 2009 EL for around 700k that looks like a good deal.

Nasa doble presyo rin nito sir. Ang iniisip ko baka starex possible candidate. In terms of comfort, haven't ridden one long distance. City lang, and i find ford seats more comfortable.

I saw for sale on FB Marketplace, several circa 2012 Odysseys selling for around 800k. 2014-2015 Carnivals also for the same price.

We have a 2010 Carnival. Not as quick off the line, but very good highway legs. 100 at 1700rpm, approx a little over 10km/L highway.

Wife prefers SUVs apparently over minivans. So mukhang balik ako sa first question. Haha.

Wow, di ba usually yung wife pa ang mas gusto sa minivan, at yung husband sa SUV? [emoji23]

But anyway, I suppose it would boil down to how many passengers will it be carrying? If 5 or less at self driven kadalasan, pwede na Explorer. If more than 5 at madalas may driver, dun na ako sa Expedition. Since out of town vehicle to, sufficient cargo space for large boxes and suitcases must be given priority.

Iba talaga sir. Always liked big cars. LC200 sana kaso di kaya ng budget. Although mukhang yun expedition is a bit too much for her to drive daw.
Malamang 2 lang sir. Kung sakali family trip, baka 5 with driver. Was leaning on expedition but might be too impractical nga.

Ah kaunti lang pala sasakay. There is always the SWB Expedition, though mas luma siya.

Since excessive size is a concern din pala, ang CX9 kaya?

Yun CX parang maliit.

Yes, seriously considering the Pilot too. Learned how to drive with a Honda tsaka of all the 3 units i have owned from that brand, matibay talaga lahat. Biggest concern siguro, mukhang kaunti lang nabenta dito so I'm not that sure about parts availability.

Dun ako kabado sa Ford kasi maraming nightmare akong naririnig. Tulad ng Explorer, may fumes sa cabin daw, etc. My sister owns a 2010 Expedition pero mukhang aircon lang nagiging issue niya kaya naman napaisip ako kumuha.

If I remember correctly, the CX9 is actually over 5 meters long, similar to the Pilot's dimensions. Advantage would indeed be parts availability since the Pilot sold poorly here.

I suppose the Explorer is kinda dicey since it is the first batch of an entirely new generation, while the Expedition in question is the last of the old Tritons.

Everest, ayaw? [emoji16]
