2010 EL a joke

This is my wife's dream car. My evaluation after 2 weeks and a 3 hr road trip is that it's an expensive vehicle. I've been a Ford guy for years - no more. The 5.4 V8 has no guts, even with 6 spd downshifts. I loved my 97F150, but this is no truck, even with improvements, the 2010 is a dog. In wind it wallows, handles like a brick. 7500 miles between oil changes? Great way to engineer increased engine wear, which is NOT covered by warranty - engine will be excessively worn before 100k, leaking oil and low compression, thanks to longer oil changes. To top it off, you get a front headrest that is uncomfortable and nonadjustable. Last Ford ever. I hate this vehicle.

Good car, but if you can buy a Navigator or go GM

I bought my Expedition with high hopes, big engine, nice looks, and some high-end equipment, and for $56,000 I couldn't beat it. After dealing with the tedious process of negotiating I left the lot with my new car. Emidiatly I noticed that the steering felt quiet numb, I mean it's a truck, I didn't expect sporty, but I was hoping for some feel. My other major dislike about this car is that the interior quality isn't the greatest, uneven gaps, poor materials, and hard surfaces, some thing I wasn't expecting for almost 60k. Overal, I've put almost 90,000 miles on my Expedition, and the resale is looking good, and it still feels put together. If your in the market for a full-size SUV, I say look at it, but much more recommend the Lincoln Navigator, GMC Youkon, or the Chevy Tahoe or Suburban.

Had been looking for a particular vehicle for about 4 months. 3rd generation, 5.4 liter, V8, 4wd with heavy duty towing package. Found it through a search, my vehicle came up on Edmonds, at Grayson Hyundai in Knoxville. Great sales team there, purchased it from them. Low mileage was a plus, too!

We had a 2011 Ford Expedition and was in a rollover accident on Jan 14, 2024 coming home from Oklahoma back to Alabama, it happened in Arkansas, the big winter storm had moved in earlier than expected. We slid and ended up rolling the truck 3x. My husband, my boys, and I walked away with bumps and bruises. This huge truck saved our lives. Truck was totaled
