Great Evolution of Design

2007 Ford Expedition Limited 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

Review

This is my third Expedition 97 EB (176k),2003 EB 4WD(136k), and 07 Limited(now 60k). Great design for space and comfort and even the old ones still look great. The 07 is the best yet. The improvements to IRS hit the mark. Auto lift gate and power seats are great. Best is the Ride - Chrome Clad Wheels is the dumbest idea yet. Very easy to damage and expensive to replace. No repair possible.

Favorite Features

The ride is tops, seats are comfortable, back seat middle and third row a very comfortable for adults.

Suggested Improvements

1) Wind noise for front passangers, Ford still has not figured this out. It has always been a complaint from day 1 and the design has not changed that much that it should be a problem. 2)Gas Milage: 17-18 in the 97,13-15 in 03 and 16-17 in the 07. Chrome Clad wheels - prone to damage

"Simply the Best"

2007 Ford Expedition Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

Review

We test drove every full size SUV out there and it came down to the Expedition and the Tahoe. The interior and over all features the Expedition offered was far superior to the Tahoe. We love this SUV and it fits perfectly into our Family and have no regrets. I highly recommend driving this vehicle and comparing. Get it loaded with everything.

Favorite Features

Power liftgate, DVD, Navigation, Sirus radio, heated/cooled seats, dash layout, rear air, electric folding 3rd row seats, seat leather quality, 20" rims, ride and handling, size.

Suggested Improvements

Of course gas mileage. Nothing else.

Overall a Great American SUV with Space

2007 Ford Expedition Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

Review

Overall, this SUV does what it was designed to do... haul loads with comfort and reliabilty. For the price, it is worth it. Some of the materials are cheap, but the build quality is done well. Space is great and the power is there. On the freeway I get 17 mpg. In the city I get 14 to 15. Hauling 800 lbs it could drop about 1mpg, but not on the freeway, still about 17 unless I am towing. I did install zenon bulbs and a better air filter, which did help. I use 87 octane. The sound system is excellent. The steering and brakes and turning handle as expected, solid, not sporty, but not sloppy. I have 20" wheels and the braking is great. I added my own back up camera, but the 2009's come with one.

Favorite Features

Cooled seats, roomy, navigation, easy entry and egress, fun to drive.

Suggested Improvements

Of course... better mpg, better interior quality, back up camera.

2007 Ford Expedition XLT 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I had a 2007 XLT. Unfortunately, it was recently totaled in an accident. The Expedition took the full force of the impact when someone crossed over the line on a two lane road, after rear-ending another vehicle, and hit me. I was not injured. She gave her life for me, I have said to others. All the safety features did their job, as did the vehicle overall. I loved that vehicle. Over 30,000 miles, and not a single problem. Ford has improved in quality. It was so good, that it is the only vehicle I ever bought twice. After it was totaled, I replaced the 07 with a new remaining 08. By the way, I must say,if you get a large SUV, don't complain about the gas mileage. It is what it is.

Favorite Features

Six in-dash CD player. Car-like handling. Seats fold just fine without the power fold feature. Convenience package is a must have.

Suggested Improvements

Put a little padding on the top of the front interior doors, where most people rest their elbow (hard plastic ain't too comfortable). How about blue colored dash lighting, instead of green.

Great Value for the Money

2007 Ford Expedition Limited 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I bought the limited model. Its already well equiped. I added nav, air suspension, rear captain seats, roof rack, tow package. Mileage is 24.3/gal. with the air & cruise on at 65MPH. Well built strong very comfortable. Just turned 29,000 miles with no problems. Nav is so easy to use. I use it all the time.Touch screen make it so easy. The sound system is like a concert. Clear, clean with no distortion. This is my 3rd one 2003 2004 and 2007. This model is by far the best redesign, ride, fit and finish, and the 6 speed trans works like a dream. Compare options and price, you just cant beat the price for what you get.Crash test? Highest rating. Is your family's saftey worth a few more mpg in a crash?

Favorite Features

Nav system, power folding mirrors, heated and cooled seats, sound system, power fold down rear seats.

Suggested Improvements

There are none.

2007 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I had been planning to upgrade to a large SUV and found that the Expedition offered the best mix of features, utility and value. I found a fully loaded, low mileage model and have been thoroughly pleased with the purchase. The ride is extremely smooth, elegant and quiet. The power adjustable seat is comfortable and easy to customize. The handling is surprising easy for such a large SUV. The vehicle came with second row captain's seats, which makes access to the third row very convenient. The engine has more than enough power for easy and quick acceleration. Gas mileage is about 16 mpg in the city. Dealers are practically giving these away due to high gas prices. Now is the time to buy!

Favorite Features

Interior cabin room and utility. Versatile, comfortable, easily accessible seating. 6 disc CD and navigation system. Rear DVD entertainment system. Power folding third row seats, power folding rear hatch; dual zone air conditioner. Vehicle's power and overall maneuverability. Fun and easy to drive!

Suggested Improvements

Voice activation feature for the navigation/sound system could use some tweaking. Not very user friendly or intuitive.

Swiss Army Knife of SUVs

Written by: Paul on 06/29/2008

Vehicle

2007 Ford Expedition Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

Review

This vehicle hauls 8 people comfortably, effortlessly tows my 5,000 lb trailer, the rear rows fold flat for hauling plywood and has near minivan manners on the road with 4WD available for our Canadian winters.

Favorite Features

Rear seat comfortable for three adults that also folds flat for cargo.

Suggested Improvements

Add diesel option. Mileage is good for a vehicle of this size but the diesel would help with range while towing.

Best Value Large SUV

Written by: Sam on 12/29/2007

Vehicle

2007 Ford Expedition Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I use the Expedition as a true utility vehicle, towing a boat over the mountains, driving off road and carrying people and large heavy equipment. It is very comfortable, handles very well and has a great ride. The only surprises have been positive. I have no issues or problems with the Expedition.

Favorite Features

4 wheel independent suspension, towing capability, key less entry, power lift gate, power fold down rear seats.

Suggested Improvements

We were not able to order our Limited with a skid plate and had to have it installed after it was delivered.

First New Ford

2007 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4dr SUV 4WD (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

Review

This is my 1st new Ford. Like the car, but there have been some electrical gremlins (a/c fan, dvd, rear door, cd player). I have to say the mileage is ridiculous, I avg 12.2 mpg. If the engine had more pep I could deal with this, but it is a real dog. My 04 Yukon got about 15 mpg and had much more pep, and my driving has not changed. Yikes! Other than that, is a great car, plenty of room, comfortable, smooth ride, quiet. The power fold 3rd row rear seats is what pushed me to Ford. (awesome feature, so wake up GM) Would definitely buy another.

Favorite Features

Folding 3rd row seats, remote starter, automatic rear door, ride quality

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage, more powerful engine, try to soften the "sharp" plastic interior, maybe a diesel engine
