Eleven Years Old and Going Strong!!

I bought my Eddie Bauer 4x4 Expedition brand new in 2001 and have owned it since. I have driven it almost every day in the past eleven years and I keep it regularly serviced. It's paid me back in spades -- I have 287,000 miles on it and it's going strong! I keep telling the local Ford dealership, they should feature this beast in a commercial. It looks like new inside and the only signs of age on the outside is the fact that the bright red paint is a bit faded on the body, but actually a "pink" color on the mirrors. Original gas engine is strong. Still pulling horse trailers and piling the miles on. This truck has been so trustworthy. When she needs a new engine, I'll be there! :)

190,000 miles and still rolling. Maybe $1000 worth of repairs since new. A great ride. Would definitely by another but not until this one has seen it's day.

Rust Bucket 2001

I loved the car - served us well. Garage kept BUT by 2012 a muffler shop thought the car was a flood car. Under the car was so rusted out it looked like it sat in a jungle for 100 years. After 15 years the frame disintegrated and had to be scraped - an otherwise nicely kept SUV. That should never happen. So I can only give this SUV 2 stars due to the very short lifespan we had. Yes we live in the Midwest but none of my other cars even came remotely close to the rust this car had.
