November 12, 200718 yr Make sure to drive both (several times if you need to) and I would definitely take a look at the motors in them. Which motor is considered to be "better" in terms of reliability? If this doesn't help, I would definitely take a look at how long the powertrain warranty is and go with the longer one. Both may have their share of issues, but they both sell pretty well and should get the job done for you. Either way, congrats and good luck!
November 12, 200718 yr BTW If you are ever considering a car with a Chevy small block 350 --- it's the best engine ever made.
November 12, 200718 yr Since I'm not sure what year these models will be, I'm gonna go with the late model short wheelbase specs: 2008 Expedition: 5.4L Triton? V8 2008 Tahoe: Vortec 4.8L V8 or Vortec 5.3L V8 (Don't know which model you're looking at) Those Chevy engines are looking pretty good, esp. the 5.3L one....and they are 20 MPG on the highway which is really nice to have with gas over $3 a gal. now.
November 12, 200718 yr Get the Chevy.. Ford = Fix Or Repair Daily OR Found On Road Dead . Ford = FIRST ON RACE DAY Yeehaw git 'r done! I'd rather push a Chevy than drive a Ford :mischief
November 13, 200718 yr Yeah Im gonna get 2008 for sure. I appreciate everyones input so far. Keep us updated!
November 13, 200718 yr BTW If you are ever considering a car with a Chevy small block 350 --- it's the best engine ever made. The Chevy SBC350 does not really exist anymore. There are only permutations of it, including but not limited to the 5.3 Vortec, 6.0 Vortec, 5.7 LS1/6, 6.0 LS2, 6.3 LS3, 7.0 LS7, etc. etc.
November 26, 200718 yr Author So I ended up saying **** it and I went big. Real big. Got the 2008 Suburban LT with the 20" wheels. Silver with titanium leather interior. DVD's in the headrest and the power lift gate are some of my favorite options. Oh and the remote start kicks some butt. Ive never had remote start before. So far I love this truck. Thanks to all for your input.

November 26, 200718 yr Unless you have a family of 7 I don't see the need to purchase such a large vehicle. (Unless you have issues down there, than it's acceptable.)
November 26, 200718 yr Author My employer provides me with a take home car so I hardly ever have to use the Suburban. Weekends and the occassional road trip = Win
November 28, 200718 yr Unless you have a family of 7 I don't see the need to purchase such a large vehicle. (Unless you have issues down there, than it's acceptable.) Because capitalism is f***ing cool. I like sports cars, I can never reach their full potential on the streets, doesn't exactly mean I'm gonna turn one down for a Prius or Versa.

A Prius isnt a sports car. :confused
November 28, 200718 yr Author Silver Suburban LT with light and dark titanium leather interior. Didnt get the LTZ because I didnt like the chrome door handles and Im just not into Navigation systems. The LT has the BOSE speakers. 20" aluminum wheels and the power liftgate. The thing rides like a f'n champ. Gettin the front windows tinted and the DVD's put in on Friday. :evil
