"Originally wanted a Tahoe, but couldn't find one with the pricing I desired. Turned to the Expedition out of frustration and am glad I did. The Ford does not look as sporty as the Tahoe, and averages 1 mpg less, but its third seat is made for adults on even long trips. Also, the second and third seats fold flat into the floor for great carrying capacity. Bought this with 97K miles, but the big 5.4 engine is strong, quiet, and should last well past the 200K mile mark. I'm averaging slightly north of 17mpg on trips, even with 7 passengers plus bags. Given the mpg, I wouldn't have this as a daily driver if I had long commutes, but as a second auto, it's terrific."

"I purchased a 2006 Expedition EB with 48k miles. I have now driven it 25k without a single problem. It drives like a dream on long trips. I is a solid SUV, not made of flimsy aluminum like those import Armadas and Sequois. If you want a safe, reliable, well built SUV, this is the one."

"I purchased this vehicle brand spanking new in 2006 and drove it until 10/2010. I put 83,000 miles on this vehicle. At times I babied her and at times I drove her hard. Through ALL of this, this vehicle has managed peak performance and reliability. Towing boats, carting around 8 people, carrying golf clubs fishing poles AND my girlfriend.... comfortably. My expeditor did all of these things! I had the eddie bauer edition with heated and cooled leather seats DVD system backup sensors, and these features were incredible and the vehicle was incredibly cozy. In my time of ownership I replaced an alternator and got an alignment, aside from that I never had any issues.. This is hands-down the best vehicle I have ever owned!"

"I have over 100k on my 03 Road demon and It keeps on rolling strong. I use it for family hauling or like a truck with out any weight or cargo size limitations. When I get tired of the dash I'll be getting another EXPEDITION!"

"I have owned this 2006 Expedtion Limited for almost a year and a half and have had ZERO mechanical or quality control issues,all i have done is change the oil. I love everything about the truck from the design to the fit and finish.also i have the navigation radio and although touch screen would be easier,it works fine for me and is very accurate and worth the money i paid. The truck accelerates and handles very good for a truck of this size.gas mileage is what you can expect from a large truck.This is a great truck that will last you many years and miles.I have driven from New Jersy to Florida twice and would not want to drive any other truck including a toyota or a nissan."

"When purchasing a vehicle we usually look at the price first. We shouldn't do such, because we don't know all the features we miss from a car. Well if you want an affordable & very nice vehicle, then a FORD EXPEDITION is just the car for YOU."

"I have rented two of these, an XLT and an Eddie Bauer, but I did drive them 4,000 miles with five passangers in a variety of weather conditions. Accomodation: all seats are comfortable for adults, the driver's seat position is better than in older versions. With the DVD option adults in the middle rear seat have limited forward visibility. The manual hvac controls are adequate. The climate control system can tend to 'stall' if there isn't enough air flow, turning up the flow gets it with the plan. Stereo is adequate, but no more than that, certainly not good. It may have a six disk in dash changer but there's no facility to connect an iPod, way behind the times. Luggage space is plenty for five people for a week with the thord row seats down, with the third row up you are reduced to space for one person's luggage. The third row is easy to fold down but a lot harder to get back up from the rear, unless you have the electric fold option. The center console cubby is cavenous, I had two cameras, binoculars, sun glasses, hat, sunscreen, bug repellant, PDA, cell phone and charging cables in there with room to spare. Performance, economy and handling: for a 300hp vehicle the Expedition isn't fast, I guess it's all that weight. The transmission shifts smoothly but often to the wrong gear for what you are about to do and there's no easy way to override the column shift. Conversely in 2wd mode it's very easy to spin an inside rear wheel, leave it in auto 4x4 mode and save the embarrasment. With this power and torque you should expect traction control or at least a rear LSD. Handling is adequate, it tracks well enough and is reasonably easy to place on the road. Agregate fuel economy was 17.5mpg over 4000 miles of mostly legal freeway speeds and a little city driving. The standard tires are a bit noisy at low speeds but you don't really hear them or the engine at 70-75. I didn't find the size an issue, the turning circle is reasonable and parallel parking in a regular spot was no particular chore. Conclusion: My first advice would be to check Nissan and Toyota. If you want a Ford then unless you absolutely need the size or towing capacity I think the Explorer v8 is a better bet, almost as big, almost as powerful, much more lively and more economical."

"2006 Ford Expedition, purchased new in Oct. 2005 LOADED. Even got the butt chillers to go with the butt warmers. *Seats 5 adults, 1 child and 1 infant no problem. *Gas mileage ... well, we knew what we were getting into, didn't we? *Driving, handling are fine. Good lord, it's a boat - everyone generally gets out of your way. *creature comforts are MOSTLY great. *Trying to get the DVD/TV system to play audio where you want it, WHILE driving.. well that's an adventure to say the least. BIG COMPLAINT: Navigation system. You have GOT to be kidding me about this one. APPALLING and ATROCIOUS don't even BEGIN... First - ever heard of TOUCH SCREEN??? Wands, buttons, push this push that push it again...NOT INTUITIVE HERE Ford.... Second - who PROGRAMMED this? There are several ways to program in a destination (please reserve 10-15 minutes at the beginning of EVERY trip to do this). Then they have a 'Points of Interest' menu, so if you are going to the zoo or local museum, it's EASY to find (right? Easy, right?). Oh try again - EVERY SINGLE ENTRY for a destination in Chicago sends us TO IOWA. I'd be in NEBRASKA if I followed what it says. Third - 13 DVD's? Are you freaking kidding me? My friends Acura TL nav does it all with ONE DVD, and it has a bigger viewing screen and touch screen. Fourth - GPS lock. Got ya on this one Ford. I've actually WORKED with GPS and it shouldn't take 15 minutes for a lumbering 60 mph vehicle to lock on to any ONE of a number of GPS satellites. I've seen flight systems moving at 5x that speed do it in 15 seconds. If you do HAVE to get the Ford Le Behemouth gas guzzler - pass on the Nav. Mere words cannot express.... I have seriously considered prying it out of the dashboard JUST so I could jump up and down on it..."
