2009 Ford Expedition Limited 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

Review

We had looked at the expeditions before buying a Yukon XL. Went from that to a prius and then finally found the expedition, should have bought one in the first place. Never been a ford person but I love this car. It handles well, it's cozy, and there is plenty of room in the third row. One of the best features is the ease of getting in and out of the third row. One thing to consider is more storage SOMEWHERE. The console is good size, but that is it. There isn't anything for an emergency kit, first air, nothing. I have my owners manual in between my seat and the console so I can use the gb for other things. With the ac seats there isn't even any under there. Otherwise I LOVE LOVE IT!

Favorite Features

The sync is nice for MP3. I like the ease of getting in and out of the third row, and the look of the vehicle is sweet!!

Suggested Improvements

Maybe some sort of storage under the cup holder console area. I know there are a lot of wires and such under there, but that is a huge area where a storage drawer could be. Some storage in the back around the jack compartment. Storage in the windows in the back. Things just roll around there!!

Review

If you want or need an SUV, this is the one. Traded a 2002 Ford Expedition for the new 2009. Ford really stepped this one up. The interior on the Limited is a good as you get, performance, handling, comfort and road noise are excellent. Around town or on the road it is great. I wouldn't buy if you are looking for great fuel economy, but what large SUV has it? Great for the family for travel or going out in a nice car. I bought the black on black with all the options.

Favorite Features

Travel Link is really cool, navigation, back up camera, and dash/console are GREAT

Suggested Improvements

Can Ford figure out how to squeeze 25- 30 MPG out of a full size SUV? Didn't think so but that is ok.

Nice Truck

Review

Make no mistake about it, this is a truck. A very, very nice truck. I am a former multiple Suburban owner that had an Expedition in the '90s. There was no comparison between the Expedition and the Suburban just as there is no longer any comparison between the Suburban and the redesigned 2009 Expedition. This truck is quiet, rides very well and is absolutely thought through from the front bumper to back-up camera. The gauges are easy to read, the stereo has over the top sound quality, the power fold down rear seats are incredible and the backup camera is well designed and displayed. Compare - there is no comparison.

Favorite Features

-Power Fold Down Rear Seats are actually comfortable -Sync. Microsoft and Ford this system is the bomb especially the weather radar. -Power running boards. Believe it or not, they are usable as well as sexy.

Suggested Improvements

-A hybrid. -More availability. There were exactly 2 of these within 300 miles of my home.

Review

Solid, safe and smooth ride with room for the dog, golf clubs and lots of girlfriends. What else could a gal want. Best Ford interior I have ever experienced and not one problem so far. Better than I can say for the X- 5 I am driving. Ford really has raised the bar with the Expedition and I paid less for it that my last Explorer (2003)!

Favorite Features

Saddle leather heated/cooled seats are perfect. Microsoft Sync /Phone/Nav./Satellite/Backup camera system is amazing and easy to run.

Expedition EL Review

Review

Had a 2007 expedition EL that was totaled in an accident. Looked around and the 2009 was still the best for us. The fold down seats are so wonderful when I have that "emergency" with more kids to haul around. I currently have 2 car seats in the car and was able to have 5 adults and 3 children with Car Seats and 2 full size strollers in the cargo area. Then dropped the one family off, folded down the seats and went grocery shopping. Also this hugh car turns on a dime, U- turns in tight corners are no problem. The transmission seems to give more power to this vehicle over the 2007.

Favorite Features

Fold down seats, SYNC, GPS, ride comfort, handles like a car

Suggested Improvements

Only 16 mpg on average, bigger storage console (usb takes up too much room).

2009 Expedition Limited

Review

I bought the new 2009 Limited Expedition 1 week ago and love it. The power, luxury and features are all wonderful. I compared the Tahoe, Sequoia & Expedition and without any question, the Expedition was the best value and most luxurious of them all. The Tahoe drove & sounded like my dad's 1976 Caprice Classic from 33 years ago and the mechanics seemed about as old... The Sequoia looked and felt like a huge grey elephant, although had the typical Toyota quality feel to it. The Expedition had it all and was the best when it came to power, luxury and comfort. The 2009 Nav/Sinc system, stereo, and complete list of amenities was unbelievable, not to mention it feels solid as an LS430!

Favorite Features

Navigation/Sync system, Ppower 3rd row seats, power rear hatch, heated & air onditioned seats, Sirius satellite radio, power & luxury.

Suggested Improvements

Instrument panel, 3rd row control button
