Pros: Comfy, lots of room and excellent ride quality. Still looks great after 5 years.
Cons: Typical SUV gas hog. 3rd seat a pain to remove.

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great looks, Powerful engine, Very spacious, Luxurious
Cons: Hard to handle in "High Wind" environments
The Bottom Line: Excellent SUV. Perfect for single people and families alike. Will rip through your pocketbook, but worth every penny. Buy one! You will not be disappointed!
What prompted me to buy an Expedition? The power of owning the road. I can 4x4 over anything (it gets pretty fun actually). It sits pretty high and that makes it great for driving in traffic and/or night driving. You see what's coming up...accidents, ... read more

The Bottom Line: Best SUV for the money. Ford tough and reliable. Quite a compliment coming for a GM GUY!
Yeah, its not its cousin the Land Rover...and thank goodness its not! What you have in the Expedition is a very sturdy, utility vehicle for the family, fishing trips, camping outings, and much more! Our's has tan leather with the third seat. Its ... read more
