Excellent ride. Safety features are A+

On our way to CO from TX we got a chance to test AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control. I could easily say this technology saved our lives (8 adults WITH luggage). It was dark and a few deer showed up in front of us. We were going ~80mph and my sister instinctively threw the steering wheel sharply to the right. I immediately braced for rollover because a maneuver like that would have surely flipped us over; but it did not. While we fishtailed violently in the aftermath my sister needed only to hold the steering wheel straight. The car regained control soon after and we were all amazed at how it did it. To think what could have happened if this feature hadnt come standard is frightening.
Steer clear of the 5.4L Triton

This truck is an absolute blessing. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Everything about it. Until 9 years later at only 77K miles, the engine blew. Ford knew about the faulty production in this powerplant and did nothing about it. Poor oil pressure causes cam phaser problems which causes misfires which effects timing chain, tensioner and guide. Too costly to repair especially after it's fixed, it's not. Problem will return at some point. So you're only recourse is to replace with a rebuilt engine at a cost of $8000+ Truck is not worth it. What a sin. DO NOT buy any Ford with a 5.4L Triton engine unless you can put in the rebuilt engine yourself. You would have a winner than. Shame on Ford

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.
Great Family Vehicle

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!
Not That Great

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.
