Much more substantial than others
We had a Toy 4-Runner. With 1 teenager, 1 very active 4 year old and another on the way, we felt very claustrophobic in that rig. We didn't even realize what we were missing in a full size rig until we climbed into the Expedition. The power was great. It was a much more substantial rig than the 4Runner. I couldn't believe how much more of everything we got, room, power, leather, v-8, less payment. We only lost about 4 mpg compared to the gutless v-6. We are 4 years into it and
my suv
My husband bought it for me for mothers day this year (09) and we love it so very much..Over 200,000 miles on her and still runs like a champ..With the exeption to the number 4 spark plug fouling. And it not being owner friendly on replacing it yourself..And its hard to find someone to fix it who doesnt want your first born for the price..lol..But other then the cost od up keep and crappy gas and the third row seat , love it and will get another when this one dies.Hope not for a few more years atleast.

Dont buy this year
Due to the multiple electronic issues that this vehicle has caused us we are rushing to drop it before our extended warranty runs out. We know many others w/the SAME issues. The best 2 examples I can tell you from our experience was when it would continuously lock/unlock the doors while also having the radio on & the heater on full blast (no keys in the ignition) blamed on a 'faulty remote key'. A more frightful example is where it was starting itself in our garage (again w/out keys). This time it was blamed on water shorting a computer... which sounds like the closest reason yet all of these electrical nightmares have happened.
My Favorite Vehicle Yet
Being 6'4" tall, I was not able to find a midsize SUV that didn't lack headroom, legroom, width, or have the gear shift digging into the side of my right thigh. My '98 Expedition is the most comfortable, most rugged vehicle I have ever owned. Though huge, it is not overly "truck-like" in handling, it is powerful, roomy, unstoppable on the minimum maintenance roads I drive in Northern Minnesota. It rules.

Bought New 1998, Drive a mixture of Highway and City. Avg 13mpg. Kids like the car. Good handling in all types of weather. Replaced Goodyear with Michelin ltx at 65k miles. Burns a little oil. No Electrical problems ( knock on wood). Smooth transmission, brakes could be better. Above average in most respects. Pleasantly suprised for a Ford Product.
