Used 2000 Ford Expedition SUV Consumer Reviews
Excellent Suv
No problems, rides nice and smooth. Installed extras in my SUV which it made alot better to drive in,
My "comfort room" on wheels.
I absolutely love to drive my 2000 Eddie Bauer Expedition... unfortunately, so does my wife so you know who spends most of the tiem behind the wheel.

Moved Up
I traded in a 1997 Explorer for the Expedition, it 5.4 liter engine and carrying a bucnh of kids were the big reasons. I have to say the 5.4 is a great choice for towing, but i would have liked a choice of a 3.73 rearend instead of the 3.55 that it came with, but can't always choose when buying used. All in all a great move for me and the fuel milaege hasn't been as bad as one might think, i'm averaging 16.8 with both in town and highway mixed.
Awesome car
I have had this car for 8 years and it's gone about 243,000. I have only had two minor repairs, an alternatior and a thermostat, less than $500. Anything else was normal, like tires, brake pads and oil changes. I thought I should sell it 2 years ago but kept it and am so glad I did. It just keeps on going. My locks don't respond properly and the drinkholder broke but the car moves with no problem and has not let me down.
what's not to like?
This is my wife's around-town car, but we also use it for travelling. In both areas it has proved its worth. She finds it comfortable and easy to drive, practical at hauling around family, friends and shopping, and it can always be trusted to provide towing for my own less reliable motor. But it really shines at vacation time. We drive long distances and the kids just dont complain - there's enough room for one of them to be asleep flat while the others play around. And it handles the off-road portions admirably (even with only 2WD). To sum it up: comfortable, practical, versatile. (There is that fuel economy thing, though!)
