What can I not say about the Ford Expedition? This is a great vehicle for anyone that has a large family, boat, and trailer or hauls a lot of stuff at once. We have owned a van, truck and car and out of all the vehicles we have owned the Ford Expedition is our favorite even down to the kids. We were in the market looking for a new vehicle and test drove several Ford products but fell in love with the Ford Expedition. We purchased the 2006 model that had approximately 60, 000 miles on it.
The new 2010 Ford Expeditions start at around $35, 000 thousand dollars and can go as high as $54, 000 depending on the features that you would like. Most of the Ford Expeditions already come equipped with AM/FM radio with CD player, air conditioner, power windows, power door locks, tilt steering wheel, cruise, automatic transmission, roof rack and 3rd row seats which seats 9 passengers comfortably.
It is nice to have a family of 7 who can sit comfortably in a car without being cramped up and still have room to seat friends. I love being able to take my Ford Expedition to the store or to the beach and we can pack it down and still have plenty of room to move around.
The Ford Expedition rides smooth, handles curves well and even has a great towing capacity. We have a pontoon boat and have had no problem hooking the trailer up and dragging the pontoon anywhere we want to go.
Even with the large size of the Ford Expedition the gas mileage has been pretty well if you drive a lot of highway miles. In my van it costs me approximately 35-40 dollars to fill up which is the same as in the Expedition. There is about a few dollar differences but overall about the same.
All Ford Expeditions comes with 4 doors so that you have easy access to climbing in and out. The Ford Expedition also has a sporty look because with all the features they also come with running boards which make climbing into the Ford Expedition easy.
Overall I would have to rate the Ford Expedition a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. It drives well, it has an affordable price tag and there is plenty of room that the whole family can ride and still have room. The only downfall that I have with the Ford Expedition is that with us living out in the country our drive distance is pretty far and with a bigger gas tank we have to fill up more often than I like.
