The rest of the Expedition driving experience is impressive as well. It doesn’t feel quite as huge and yacht-like as the Jeep Wagoneers with better body control and seemingly quicker steering. We haven’t had a chance to test an Expedition with the available continuous adaptive dampers, but judging by what they do in the mechanically related Lincoln Navigator, we expect them to increase the Expedition’s comfort and composure even further.

It may provide a commanding view of the road and make you feel impregnable, but it’ll also be harder to park and handle worse due to its slower steering, giant dimensions, top-heavy weight and truck platform.
