2004 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4WD 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
I loved my '99 XLT 4.6l. It was time to get something new (I had 284000 km and still looked like new). I get better MPG with the 5.4 but about the same performance with the Eddie Bauer (must be heavier with heated/cooled seats, 6 CD, auto A/C, great sound, 3rd row in floor to leave room for the dog, back up alarm and all). Now I can see at night (great improvement). I can hear a whining noise when I apply power (a bit annoying). I was expecting wood trim on the dash at that price. On the road it is a delight to drive. The front suspension feels loose compared to my solid axle on the "99. Lots of brake dust on the wheels but they clean real easy and look great.
My beast roars and my neighborhood hates it

I bought a 04 expidition 2 wheel drive 4.6 with right at $178,000 miles for 3 grand about a year and a half ago and I lifted it 3 inches put 33 inch 12.50 wide acheilies desert hawk Xtreme mud terrains on it wit 20 inch XD series rims I loaded it down with about 1000 pounds of tools painted it flat black and tinted the windows put a heavy duty off-road brush guard on it that weight bout 300 lb. Drove it threw every swampy mudd hole I could find pulling scrap steel farm equipment out of a swamp hole snatched and snatch and snatched pulling this stuff out litterally broke semi truck rated tow chains. Pulled over a brand new telephone pole like it was nothing pulled trailers loaded down with 3 tons of scrap steel only been stuck twice and once was because the tire dug so deep the truck body litterally sat down on the ground and spun tire while I was trying to pull a 53 foot long shipping container and was chained to it. It took $2000 and 250 feet of logging chain and a huge freightliner to pull me outta that swamp after I cut the chain that held me to the shipping container..... someone stole my catlytic converter and cut them off at the headers and I been running strong with it ever since for bout 8 months now.i put to short of lug nut on the new rims and had both front tires It's loud but sounds beatly and besides a hub assembly and bearing and a alternator and battery I've had zero issues and everything works and I beat the hell out of it and dog it to death and it loves it you touch the key an she's rumbling n ready. Best truck I've ever hand hands down I'm about to hit the 255,000 mile mark and chugging strong I put to small of lug nuts on it at first with the new rims without knowing and broke off all 6 studs on driver's and passenger side and the wheels fell off and I dropped to the rotor twice n wrecked in ditched twice she loved it ate it like candy best truck I ever had and I was raised jateing Ford but between dodge Chevy n Ford n jeep the fords r the only ones that keep going. I love my expidition. Oh and I put after market cold air intake and took the fann shroud off the fender wells out and the plastic motor covers and it eats everything I put it through it does need new shocks and upper control arms n upper ball joins but she's still rumbling

This is my second Eddie Baurer Expedition. I was so psyched when I purchased it b/c I loved everything about the interior.- space between 2nd row captain chairs, 3rd row fold down seats, DVD. HOWEVER, I have had too many problems in the last year- new brakes at 23,000 miles, loud clicking sound going from 2WD to AWD(can't find the problem), over- hauled transmission(car was in the shop for 3 weeks I might add). Plus Ford doesn't give out loaner cars. Bummer considering all of the problems I have had in the last year. And we paid $45,000!!!

Just completed 1 year of ownership. Bought it with 37k and now has 49k. Replaced transmission oil with Royal Purple ATF Max Synthetic oil, also am running 5w30 Royal Purple Synthetic Oil in the crank case. A K&N air filter with cold induction has been installed too. My gas mileage went from mid 15's to mid 17's overnight. On the highway cruising 68mph its around 19mpg. We love the room, the 4x4 and ground clearance is tops here in Michigan too. Our only problem we've had is a rear axle whine that is a common on 03 to 06 Expedition's. The 5.4L pulls strong and runs best on premium fuel. With 4 growing kids this Expedition will be with us for a long time coming.
