2011 Ford Expedition EL Limited 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

I bought my Ford Expedition limited EL for a killer deal since dealer didn’t want to deal with the engine light it had at 210,000 miles which I had a mechanic that told me it’s an easy fix which just needed the solenoids changed out. So I bought it had my mechanic switched them out at same time noticed it had worn spark plugs and coils so did full tune up and bam ran like new. Been driving it for 15,000 miles so far the past half year and love driving this beast! I have 5 kids and they ride in comfort! It’s like a limousine since I have captain seats kids run back in forth through Space in between when parked of course! So much space in cargo area with 3 rows up for scooter, strollers and little bikes. And when seats down enough to transport a fridge! Power folded seats such a big help without removing the seats. Sync is dated at this time but I don’t mind just happy I have a reliable full size suv ! Oh and back up camera in Mirror is such a big help for parking a big suv! Update. It is going on a year this month since I got the used expedition and nothing else has happened . It’s my weekend vehicle for when I take the family out for fun and it has 227,000 miles now. Oil changes every 3000 miles with full synthetic Mobil one and it runs! Might switch to shell rotella T6 15W-40 since I hear it’s the best oil to use especially in Texas summer heats Update 10-13-21 still going strong ! 229,000 miles and just changed out a O2 sensor and is running great just this week the tire sensor went out so will replace those soon at discount tire they quoted me $60 per tire but other then that nothing else just put in shell rotella 15W-40 couple last month and it’s great! Update 4-13-22 just above 230,000 miles I stilll only drive on weekends and the past 1000 miles have been great no other codes have shown up or issues runs beautiful definitely going to take her to the beach this weekend . Planning on keeping it until it dies which I think will be another 100,000 miles at least! Many people on expedition group on Facebook have above 300,000 miles so why not expect that from mine! Just regular maintenance should do it!

2012 Ford Expedition Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (5.4L 8cyl 6A)

We needed to upgrade tow vehicles since moving from a 12’ Scamp to a 23’ Outback. We were seriously considering a Yukon or Suburban. Then we test drove a 2012 Expedition Limited and was floored by the rude quality and features. The Chevy would certainly have done the job but it rode like a truck, very stiff and harsh. The Ford was just different, very quiet and smooth with the air ride independent rear suspension, 20’ all terrain tires, and capable towing capacity. Handling is surprising and taking it out into the forest service roads is never a problem. Rarely is 4x4 ever needed and in snow, just a flick to 4x automatic is all that’s needed. This thing weighs out at 5,500, so it’s a beast. But my 1986 full-size Bronco weighed 6,800. Ford did a lot of weight trimming here. Some people complain about the interior trim. Yes it’s plastic everywhere. But so is everything else in this world. It all works and is thoughtfully laid out. The pedals even adjust! Our Expedition has just over 220,000 miles on the original drivetrain. One big recommendation is to never miss an oil change (NEVER). The variable valve timing, camshafts, lifters, timing train all depend on clean fresh oil ALL THE TIME, so keep up on the maintenance schedule. The upside to this is that you can get one cheap, with a bad engine and do an (expensive) rebuild and still come out ahead (if you are a sadist). The engines are complicated pieces. But…if you wanted to throw $$ at it you could go crazy (twin cam anyone?). But stock is just fine for most of the universe. A recent trip from Missoula Montana to Olympia Washington, in winter, over several mountain passes, lots of slow going in 4x auto, got me to 18.5 mpg loaded. Considering the size, the safety, the convenience and comfort, it was worth the price. We were looking for a Chevy, but chose Ford for the long haul. Keep an open mind and you’ll be surprised at what the universe has to offer you.

We bought a new f250 4x4 long bed and it was great. Too big and very nice and driven very little. So sold it and paid cash for this used 2011 expedition. Rides great, drives great, lots of storage and fits are needs much better

I recently bought a 2012 Expedition limited wirh 238k miles on it...An ungodly amount of miles to consider purchasing. But the trucks exterior and interior were well taken care of. The truck had one owner that took his vehicle to the dealership for regular scheduled maintainable and let me tell you...This baby started with little effort, idled very quietly, shifted butter smooth...In putting in reverse and backing I couldn't feel nor hear the transmission shifting. The negative is when getting it up to 80-85 mph, there exists a slightl hesitation like with engines that have a governor on them, yet when you push it closer to 90 moh that disappears. The only other con outside of the gas mileage is the moonroof is broken and upon inspection I noticed some real cheap components... All in all though I would feel both safe and secure driving my Ms. Daisy anywhere!
