I was not crazy about premium neither, when I purchased my 2021 Cadillac CT5. It has a twin turbo V6 at about 335 hp, that requires premium. Yet, I noticed that the acceleration was smooth and consistent using premium. Now, I use premium in all my vehicles, including my 2006 Tacoma. When I hit the accelerator, the vehicle moves.

Also, congratulations on your Expedition! I have been thinking about something to pull a camper. I was thinking about a Jeep Cherokee. But, I am also considering a Tahoe. Besides leg room, power is a factor. So, the Tahoe has edged out.

If you are thinking of pulling a camper, depending on the size, the Cherokee might not have the weight to stop it fully loaded. :roll: Also, if you decide you like the camper lifestyle, it won't be long before you upsize. :lol:

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Me likes it! It looks like it’s a pearl in color.”


Ford calls it Star White Metallic Tri-Coat :?: :?: This is one of the foolish options that I didn’t need especially at an additional $995 :o But it does glow in the sunlight.
I’ve always liked that color although not $995 more.
