Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: power train, comfort, conveniences
Cons: cargo space, ride, massive size
The Bottom Line: If you're (for some odd reason) dead set on a full-size SUV, check it out. This one's pretty good at what it does.
One of those silly e-mail joke lists made its way across my desktop on a recent afternoon -- my buddy the Goddess of Geophysics is a prolific joke-forwarder (praise her!). This particular entry in the ongoing joke wars was one of those lists with titles...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliable, roomy, fun to drive, powerful.
Cons: Expensive, requires some effort to get in and out (running board step).
The Bottom Line: The Ford Expedition is an excellent family vehicle, allowing for 8 passengers. Handles well. Comfortable.
Every year or two, I decide that it's time to purchase a new car. My wife and I have owned several car models, and two motorcycles. Our last car was a 1997 Eddie Bauer Ford Expedition. This was a program car that we got a good deal on. We quickly...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Triton V8 Power; Enormous Carrying Capacity; Generous Passenger Acreage; Gutsy 4x4 Ability
Cons: Triton V8 Gas Mileage; You Can't Throw A Stick Without Hitting One
The Bottom Line: Easy to steer in a parking lot, easy to drive on the road, easy to drive on a two-track, grin-inspiringly powerful, cavernous inside, with abysmally bad gas mileage.
With home ownership comes a whole new set of necessary items to buy and errands to run, but until late October we'd been able to use one or the other of our sedans for everything we needed. (you can fit a 12' roll of carpet into a Volvo sedan, by...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Looks, Comfort
Cons: Gas Mileage, Horsepower
The Bottom Line: If you want a vehicle that gets great gas mileage along with tons of rear wheel horsepower, consider a Tahoe or Yukon before making your final purchase.
I purchased my Eddie Bauer Expedition three months ago. I compared the Tahoe and Expedition head to head before making my decision. I hate to be a stick in the mud as everyone at Epinions that has rated their Expedition seems to really love them, but I...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Solid chassis from time tested F-150 pickup; roomy, rugged, & fun
Cons: Gas mileage is typical of SUV's (12-16mpg); sticker price shock
The Bottom Line: This is a big dog! If 4 wheel drive, roominess, and ruggedness are more important than fuel economy, then this is your ride.
The 2001 Ford Expedition is a Sports Utility Vehicle that gets you noticed. It's big, it's bad, and it turns a few heads when you drive it. This beast also causes others to stop and gawk when you go to parallel park into a tight space, for that...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Rugged, durable and lots of power. Nice options, too.
Cons: Fuel economy that comes with V-8 power. Little inconveniences that add up.
The Bottom Line: Need a tough, rugged and dependable SUV that isn't as big as a Suburban but not a "starter" SUV like a Durango? This is your SUV.
SUV's are what they are. I chuckle at people who write that the Ford Expedition is too big, too bulky and rides too rough. It's what an SUV is "supposed" to be. All these things. If you want to take the scenic tour through the nice paved roads of...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great features, smooth ride, lots of room
Cons: 3rd seat does not move forward
The Bottom Line: This is a great, roomy vehicle at a lower price than most SUVs; comfortable, good gas mileage, safe
My first car was a Ford, and not that I have anything against them, but I just didn't think after a string of foreign vehicles, I'd be back to Ford. But here I am in an Estate Green Ford XLT Expedition and lovin' it!
We had planned on paying...

Pros: IF YOU LOOK YOU CAN SAVE $10,000
Great Car Pool car Comfortable Safe
Cons: Poor Luggage space Poor 3rd seat access
Handling is ok not great
The Bottom Line: Great SUV as long as you dont pay too much
SHOP AROUND BEFORE YOU BUY
Get the Saturday morning papers early and shop the loss
leaders from the dealers. Be prepared to get the run around
but if you stick to your guns you can get a great deal
I bought a New 2001 Loaded Eddie...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Very safe and sturdy vehicle(in case of an accident)
Cons: Since vehicle is quite large, I may have difficulty parking in parking lots.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this vehicle for people who don't want to drive a minivan.
Before I bought the Expedition, I had a really cute Toyota Rav 4. I miss that vehicle as it was much easier to maneuver and park. But, with my family growing I needed something bigger. The other things I DON'T like about my Expedition is the gas mileage...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: looks, Room
Cons: Defective Parts, Gas Mileage
The Bottom Line: This Vehicle has so many problems I wish I would have bought something else. Everyone I have talked to that owned an Expedition said the same thing.
I Purchased my 2001 Eddie Bauer 5.4 Ford Expedition in Feb. 2001, with thirty four miles on it. The SUV was a must for the room. I am a single mother of four, and a mini van was not even close to what I wanted in looks. I searched for an SUV for ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks, comfort, high driving position, driver visibility.
Cons: Would like better gas mileage, but it wasn't bought for good gas mileage!
The Bottom Line: So far, I have no reasons not to recommend this vehicle.
I purchased my 2001 Eddie Bauer Expedition used from a used car dealer. Although I have only driven it for three months, these are my initial impressions. I was replacing my 1993 Suburban with something to pull my travel trailer. I looked at ...

Pros: Plenty of room, Handles U turns well, great price
Cons: Fuel is expensive if you drive alot
The Bottom Line: Excellent SUV, have compared to several other SUVs and this to me is the best built SUV for its price range. Safe, reliable and family friendly
The Ford Expedition XLT 4WD has joined our family about a week ago and I love it. This SUV has great features especially for women. They include adjustable power seats and foot pedals, outside digital temp, digital compass, second row access to radio...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks nice..built well..lots of extra.
Made in the USA (Yes, that still has meaning)
Cons: Tall vehicle (4x4 only). Getting in and out can be troublesome in tight parking.
The Bottom Line: Your buying a Ford truck with a refined suspension, fantastic stereo, power everything, 7-pass. seating, will tow 7500 lbs, and on, and on.....
I've gone through many SUV's in the past years. I've owned 5 and driven about anything on the market, anything that will go off-road that is. This is the only vehicle I have come across that will tow 6k-7k lbs, is real comfortable, and has the ground...

Pros: Fantastic Towing Capacity. High Safety Rating. Comfortable Ride.
Cons: Gas Mileage.
The Bottom Line: The best full size SUV for the money. Tows like a champ. Great crash ratings.
I didn't buy my Expedition so I could run errands in town, or drive my kids to practice. I bought it to tow our 5000 lb travel trailer and all of our camping gear. We couldn't have picked a better truck! With the 5.4 liter V8, 3.92 limited slip rear...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks, Good price value
Cons: gas mileage, not a lot of power
The Bottom Line: I recommend this SUV to anyone looking for a reasonably priced large vehicle. It has comfort and cargo room. An excellent deal.
My husband and I had been looking for an SUV for quite a while and had been researching many different lines. We were just about to purchase a Mitsubishi Montero because we have owned two other Mitsubishis that we were pleased with. Then I looked in the...
