2007 Ford Expedition EL Eddie Bauer 4dr SUV 4WD (5.4L 8cyl 6A)
Review
We drive the wheels off this vehicle (47,000 miles in less than two years) and feel qualified to write a comprehensive review. This is the third Expedition we've owned and definitely the best of the lot. My wife hauls our three sons and their buddies all over the place. I am an 18 year state trooper accident reconstructionist and am thoroughly impressed with safety considerations designed into this vehicle (side airbags down the full length of the cabin, nimble steering, excellent brakes, roll stability control, and traction control). This is a very capable large vehicle, much better than the Excursion or any competitor in overall usefulness and safety.

Suggested Improvements
The Pirelli Scorpion original equipment tires were disappointing in regard to traction and short lived. Ford needs to work on fuel efficiency across the board with all their products.
Not That Great

2007 Ford Expedition EL Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (5.4L 8cyl 6A)
Review
We leased this vehicle in December of 06 as soon as it hit the showroom. We don't have a bunch of kids and use it strictly to go back and forth from our vacation home. The vehicle does not hold up well even with just 2 adults. We have had carpet pull loose twice, an armrest break and something happens occasionally at stop lights that feels like another car rear ended us. The dealership tells us they have never heard of this although other owner's Expeditions have been known to do this also. Very underpowered for a vehicle of this size. We don't haul with it, have an F250 for that so I can't think of any excuse. Really glad it's a lease can't wait to turn it in. Going back to GM.
Favorite Features
Power fold rear seat
Suggested Improvements
Build it like it's an import.

2007 Ford Expedition EL Eddie Bauer 4dr SUV 4WD (5.4L 8cyl 6A)
Review
Bought the Expedition, like others, when our third child was born. We ran out of room (even with third row seating) in my 2006 Explorer EB to put all three car seats as well as put a double stroller in the cargo area. This SUV is top-notch. Everything I was looking for in an SUV.
Favorite Features
The interior and exterior design are far superior to GM, Powerfold 3rd row ensures no climbing in the cargo area to fold seats down, power liftgate, plenty of powerpoints, 2 tone charcoal/tan leather seating, large sunroof
Suggested Improvements
As in any SUV of this size, fuel economy is not good, but not much worse than my 6 cyl Explorer, lack of power (especially on acceleration) and overall braking is a little slower due to weight and amount of sensors

I had a 2001 Chevy Tahoe and decided with our third child on the way That we needed something larger. I love this vehicle. We travel many long road trips and this has been great. I love all the extra room we have in it.
Favorite Features
Automatic fold third row seats, auto tailgate, heated/cooled seats, nav system, satellite radio, dvd system, captains chairs
Suggested Improvements
The only thing I would like to have is more power.

2007 Ford Expedition EL XLT 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 6A)
Review
Purchased mid Nov, 7000 miles in less than 2 month and really enjoyed the drive. Some one needs to wakeup about gas mileage, my 57 olds 98 got better gas mileage.
Favorite Features
Love the vehicle, it's a great package from the Sirius radio to the seats and handling. Couldn't be happier.
Suggested Improvements
Do some thing about the mileage. Wake up those engineers. There is no reason the mileage can't be improved.
I love my Expedition

2007 Ford Expedition EL Eddie Bauer 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 6A)
Review
Having been a loyal Ford customer for several years. I purchased a 2002 Explorer for the fold down 3rd row. since then and 3 kids later and teaching rescue classes I was running short on space for my kids and equipment! After waiting several years for the Expedition EL I have been enjoying it's flexibility from hauling kids & equipment to carrying lumber from Lowes for that weekend project! The EL gives my the capabilities of a full length pick-up while being able to haul dlicate items all in the same trip! Oh yeah... And transport a family of 5!
Favorite Features
3rd row seating is second to none! I gave GM, Toyota, Dodge, all a chance to convince me their 3rd rows were better. But all said their 3rd row seats couldn't fold flat.
Suggested Improvements
Get rid of the circa 1980's displays. green displays went out in the 80's! How about a red lighting or amber lighting. My wife has na Acadia! You need to make the EL interior and consoles like the Acadia! Head's up display option and rear view camera are a must for such a large vehicle.

2007 Ford Expedition EL Limited 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 6A)
Review
Wife always wanted large SUV, and when we had our last son, this gave here a reason to move up from Honda Element. We love this truck! Very, very comfortable and roomy. I thought this truck was just too big and excessive until I took it camping. Great for towing, never knew I had anything back there.
Favorite Features
Best feature by far is the 3rd row auto fold!. I can't figure out why GM hasn't incorporated this feature into their product line. It was definitely one of the deciding factors when I made the prchase. Also Love the rear auto door, and the heated seats.
Suggested Improvements
How hard is it to put a diesel into this truck? It the only thing missing
Great Family Vehicle

Review
We have 3 kids and decided to go back to a large vehicle. So we traded our 2006 Highlander for the Ford EL Limited. Have 7500 miles on it so far and we are very happy with it. Better interior and exterior quality than Toyota. On the highway we are averaging 19.5 mpg on the freeway at 75 - 80 mph. This vehicle is comfortable to drive, has great interior features, fits the family and all the gear, and it is an overall great choice for large families. I am 6'4" tall and have to actaully move the seat forward to get the best driving position. Can set legs totally straight. Interior DVD w/ cordless headsets keep parents sane on long trips. Nav system is excellent. Love the redesign!
Favorite Features
2 tier loading. Cordless headsets for DVD. Navigation, power liftgate, heated & cooled seats. Tri-coat paint
Suggested Improvements
Better cupholders in the doors. 12 v power outlet in the console splash guards should come from the factory

Favorite Features
Great ride comfort. Nice interior. Comfortable seats. AC in seats is nice.

Review
I find this vehicle to be a bit uncomfortable, and the fuel economy is unacceptable as far as I'm concerned. Unless you have money to burn, I would consider a different SUV.
Favorite Features
Satelite radio, and navigation system.
Suggested Improvements
Fuel economy, comfort of seats.
