I regret selling mine.

I regret selling mine. I keep multiple trucks at once and this is the most reliable one I ever had. In the last 5 years I've owned a Ram,Denali, Yukon SLT and a Suburban. My favorite truck was the Expedition.

Excellent Large SUV

Recently purchased this 2012 Expedition Limited and it has met all my expectations with a few added happy surprises. It has all the bells and whistles that you would expect with a Limited model and after almost 9 years they work perfectly. So far my only complaint is that the dashboard controls for radio, CD and climate are not intuitive and I have had to refer to the owners manual several times to operate them. It is a very comfortable and amazingly quiet ride and the engine performs beautifully. I look forward to years of pleasurable driving.

Very comfortable. Perfect family SUV

The good; It's a great family SUV . Awesome 9100 lbs. tow rating with tow package. It gets 20 mpg highway at 75 mph and average 16 mpg city. The bad; The roof gutter rails tend to have a flaw on some vehicles. The caulk separates allowing water to get underneath causing a rust situation. The 5.4 V8 has had issues with the timing chain and components. Both these could result in expensive repairs. Overall, the Expedition EXL Premium is a comfortable vehicle for the city or the highway driving and also easy park. The cost to maintain is normal as long as you keep up with the recommended service.

Pretty good SUV.

The vehicle rides very well considering the high mileage on it. Leg room and features are good as well. Nice leg room too for a guy my height.

Well worth the trade.

This SUV is everything they said it was they even pointed out the flaws. Its perfect for me. Definitely got the comfort and the power for towing and four wheel drive.

Best vehicle I've owned

This car has everything I could want. Has the power to pull my 28 ft. travel trailer. While driving in total comfort plus room for passengers without them being cramped. Only complaint is gas mileage but is about what I expected and I knew it wasn't going to get 30 mpg. I get 15 to 16 in city and 18 to 19 on highway.
