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

GREAT RELIABLE SUV. A BARGIN IN THIS PRICE RANGE. ROOM FOR UP TO 9 PERSONS & YOU STILL HAVE CARGO ROOM. FORD SHOULD DO AWAY WITH THE EXTERIOR PLASTIC FOR A BETTER LOOK. IF FORD COULD GET BETTER MILAGE ON THIS MODEL IT WOULD BE AN EVEN BETTER SELL. GREAT PICK UP WITH THE POWERFUL V8,AND AS BIG AS IT IS EVEN SOMEONE LIKE ME AT 5 FEET TALL YOU CAN MAKE ALL THE ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE IT A COMFORTABLE DRIVE. THE SIZE ALSO ADDS TO THE FEELING OF SAFETY, ESPECIALLY THE FACT THAT OU CAN SEE WAY AHEAD OF YOU.
My first Ford.

I used to drive a Jeep Wrangler and I was all about the 4 wheel dirve lift 35 inch tires all that. Well I sold it and got me an 04 Expedition and its great, not only did I get it for $24700 its proved very useful. Ive slept in it for days when it wouldnt stop raining while camping out. It was about 10 grand less than a tahoe as well. with the same options, well it has one more the keypad on the door I leave my keys in my cars all the time but now I can lock it. I tend to loose my keys thats why I do that, and where I live not too many cars are stolen. But all in all I love my new expedition, my only regret is not getting the 4 wheel drive.

We purchased our Expedition at a Honda Dealership where we had taken our 2001 Honda Passport for an oil change, We had just returned from a fishing trip to the Sierra's and were very disappointed with the Passport's comfort zone, We purchased the Expedition with 30,000 miles on it; it had been traded in by the company who initially purchased it. We installed a trailer hitch and have pulled a 26 ft travel trailer from Orange County California to Havasu, Arizona with no problems. While I would have preferred a little more horsepower I was very pleased in its performance climbing over mountain passes. It never heated up even while running the air conditioner and climbing. Comfort was great.

the clutch pak was loose after 4000 miles. could have been huge problem. growling noise when turning. dealer said many new ones were coming in for repair. faulty assembly at factory.
