For anyone thinking about getting a Ford Expedition, don't think any longer! If you have the need for a people mover that is bulletproof, reliable, and of high quality, this is the vehicle for you.... I have had this Ford since new and now have 225K miles on it without any major problems... Just have changed the oil every 5k-10k miles, and kept up with scheduled maintenance...thats it. Have 3 teenagers into sports, hauling family for ski trips, etc - you get the picture...Once the wheels fall off this Ford, I wouldn't hesitate to get another one... hope this helps..
Love my Expedition xlt

We have reached 154000 miles now . This SUV has been almost flawless . It has been reliable not to have left us ever stranded . We have a 6 year old Daughter with special needs and now on hospice care. When we needed it for emergencys,trips to the hospitals 100 miles away 2 times a week . Run fast and hard at times of emergency to get her to hospital fast to save her life . Not one problem with the Expedtion . Hopefully the right people will read this who might have the same situation as mine and buy this great built suv. Thank you Ford !
4th One!

Considering the price of these vehicles new, I always look for a new used one. Believe me, no one else knows or cares. At over 50K brand new, I get the same luxury for around 30K, or less. I think the Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer, is one of the most awesome SUVs on the market today. They are as reliable and dependable as any Toyota, and like Toyota, they dont change style much. For an SUV, you just cant go wrong. I have 160K on mine now, and it purrs like a kitten. But, as an engineer, I cant stress to you the value of maintenance!! You keep the fluids changed and tune it; you will be one happy camper. ALL of
Expedition convert.

As a family with four kids, expecting our fifth, we needed to upgrade from our cramped Toyota Sienna minivan, and I am SO GLAD we went with the expedition. It's roomy, comfortable, practical, and stylish. Our van felt like driving a boat; it drifted in the road with typical minivan steering and got battered in the wind. Even though the Expedition is much bigger, the steering is WONDERFUL and we feel only the windiest days, barely. I feel safe driving my family around in this, and it handles like a dream in the rain. We bought it with 101k miles on it and will drive it until it dies. And then buy another! This family will never buy minivans again. Update: we have now owned this car for 2 years and I haven't changed my mind. I LOVE THIS CAR! After she dies (let's hope it's many years from now), we will buy another one for sure. She's 12 years old now and the only repair cost we've has aside from regular maintenance is replacing the a.c. compressor. Not bad for a 12 year old CAR!

I bought this car new in 2004. Has custom steering wheel and faux wood dash from dealer. This SUV is great. Simple comfort and easy to drive. Much better handling once I got rid of the Contitrac tires that came OEM and upgraded to some excellent Goodyear Forteras. Only one maintenance problem with rear compressor which was ~$450 to replace. Only have 47,000 miles on the truck. I think this truck will last a long time. UPDATE: This truck will not die. Now has 235,000 miles on it. Finally had to replace both front wheel hubs (bearings) and did brakes and alignment at the same time (by far the most money I have spent on the car since I bought it new). Spark plug issue is long standing but now I just replace them every two years to avoid any problems. Most reliable car. Period Still won’t die. 250,000 miles. Catalytic converters is failing. Time for aftermarket parts.
