EDITORS' RATINGS OVERALL SCORE:
Overall
| Generous passenger and cargo space with an impressive tow rating make the Ford Expedition EL a formidable contender. |
DETAILED EDITORS' RATINGS
Dynamics
| Six-speed transmission enhances performance of an otherwise overstressed powertrain. Handling is better than Tahoe or Yukon due to independent rear suspension. |
Comfort
| Low rear floor thanks to independent rear suspension allows adult-sized third-row space. Ride comfort is above average. |
Function
| Large, usable storage areas and clever rear storage shelf in cargo area enhance usability. Button-heavy HVAC design frustrates otherwise simple controls. EL version adds 12 inches of extra space. |
Design/Build Quality
| New body style looks modern and tasteful without looking too truck like. Average interior quality and assembly. |
Family Friendly
| The Expedition is a family hauler of the first order with genuine seven-passenger capacity. |
Towing Capable
| Impressive 9,200-lb towing capacity. |
Cargo Hauler
| Fold down the seats and there is room for all sorts of stuff. |
