This is my 4th Ford. I think Ford has a very good quality product. This is a new milestone for me, my first automatic tranny Ford. I bought this truck used in Jan '04 for my wife to drive and it had only 15K miles on it and it was still under factory warranty. Currently: 43K miles. We have driven it on long trips (12 hours+) about 8 times and it makes the trip go so smoothly. The ride is very comfortable and is a real pleasure to drive. I have never had this vehicle leave my wife or me stranded. I LOVE the power and low end torque. I am very pleased with this vehicle. Maintenance: transmission flush $187; oil $360. Repairs: power mirror switch and bubbling paint on hood (warranty)

At about 44,900 miles noticed fluid under the truck, dealership had to rebuild the transmission. The truck does not get driven hard. Thank goodness for the extended warranty. Will be trading in because I can not trust the vehicle anymore.

The Expedition is as rock solid as a vehicle can get. I've taken my luxury Eddie Bauer 2001 through rough brushy terrain, down dry desert river gulches, across rivers and streams. It climbs hills like a goat with its 4 wheel drive, and never left me stranded. Yet it's elegance allows it to fit in when you and your partner head off to the opera. It's tough like a truck, and, at the same time, about as luxurious as anyone could want; an extremely smooth and quiet ride. Versatility is another descriptor. It seats seven with the 3rd row seating installed, or remove it and hugely increase your cargo area. You just can't beat the Expedition; that's why I just bought another one.

Purchased in 2004 with 37k now has 81k and is still running strong. I use it for work and decided to go with the Expedition over a pick up to accomodate the family. With the 3rd row seat out and the back bench seats folded down, I have plenty of room for work gear. The kids perfer the Expedition over the minivan for long trips. The engine eats oil.. no leaks or emission problems, just need to check the dip stick a little more often than other trucks I've had. Vehicle has a nice ride but is still a truck. Self leveling system motor is loud and seems to adjust randomly, even when the truck is off.
