Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Well thought-out interior with plenty of room for passengers and their belongings, handy fold-flat third-row seat, impressive handling for its size, great crash test scores.
Cons
- Needs more power, ride quality suffers on rough roads.
What’s new
Redesigned last year, the Expedition offers few changes for 2004. Option packages and trim levels have been slightly revised, and in some cases, renamed. The XLS replaces last year's XLT Value trim level, while a new NBX trim level replaces the FX4 off-road package. And there is now an XLT Sport trim level. A tire-pressure monitoring system is now standard on XLT, XLT Sport and Eddie Bauer, while the previously standard limited-slip rear axle is now an option.
Edmunds says
Roomy on the inside and agile out on the road, the Expedition is a solid choice among full-size SUVs.

Safest Car Ever
rajkosman, 02/17/2012
2004 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer Rwd 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
I purchased my 2004 Expedition used with 20000 miles on it in 2006. I have enjoyed this vehicle every mile I've owned it. Unfortunately the other day I was rear ended by a commercial vehicle doing 45 mph. It was the end of the Expedition, but the quality of this vehicle saved my life. I would recommend this vehicle 100 times out of 100!
Looking for a new one as we speak.

2004 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer Rwd 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
I purchased my 2004 Ford Expedition with 3 miles on it. (New). I still have it today (2014) with 235,000 miles on it.
She still does long distance. I faithly performed oil changes every 3000. The mechanic said his died at 335000 miles. Worth the money.

2004 Ford Expedition XLT Sport 5.4L 4x4 review

2004 Ford Expedition XLT NBX 4WD 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
I bought this Expedition after saying I was done with Ford after 2 bad experiences with Ford vehicles in the past. I turned in my lease lemon 05 F150 in 06 and saw this Expedition on the lot and something told me to give Ford 1 more try. I'm glad I did.
I bought it with 37k and 4 yrs later and with 76,XXX + miles it has been a great vehicle. Only issues I've had was a rear end whine … and a sticky brake caliper. That's it. Both fixed under warranty years ago.
It has been the best bad winter weather vehicle I've ever driven and that's saying a lot here in Michigan!
It's made me a Ford Guy again.
I think you should buy one.

Best Ever Bolivia
chainjp, 10/20/2014
2004 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4WD 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
I live in LA Paz Bolivia and bought my 04 expedition on 07 with 70,000 miles. Now it has 162,000 and it just been crash twice really hard. Safety is the best issue with this summer. The roads are of the worst quality and the sun still feels really strong. It has never left me down or hanging and that is a plus five here in Bolivia. Traveled all over the country with absolutely no … disappointment. I can really say ford Is built tough. I had even had to tow one of my other big truck uphill and it felt awesome for my truck to be able to do that. The best car ever!!!! I just wished it would keep a better value. But all the other pros outweigh the resale value. Just great
