This Year's Model Updates:

For 2002, the Expedition gets Ford's BeltMinder audible warning system to remind buyers to buckle up. The XLT can be equipped with a rear video entertainment system for the first time. Eddie Bauer models can be done up in Premier Group packaging, which includes monochromatic exterior paint, second-row captain's chairs, moonroof, 17-inch alloy wheels, foglights and illuminated running boards.

Pros:
  • Excellent interior design and comfort, wide-ranging versatility, impressive hauling capabilities, available rear-seat entertainment system, great crash-test scores.
Cons:
  • Still might be too big for some garages, bias toward on-road comfort hurts off-road capabilities, sloppy handling when pushed.

    This car is wonderful to drive. It is much better than the Honda Passport that I owned before this one. The gas guzzling is the only down-fall. The driver window pops really hard sometimes when rolling it up. Other than that the car is super and fun to drive.

    Almost to 60k miles now and it drives like a new suv. Very good build quality. Consistent power, smooth shifting, easy towing. Quad captains chairs provide easy access to third row seat). Steering was a little "weird" recently I checked my tire pressures and found that all four tires were low and different. Filled to recommended PSI (30/front and 35/rear for mine) and steering was perfect again. Fuel economy is typical (not good... 15-16 tops on the highway). Bottom line: Im keeping mine for a while.

    This vehicle not only looks great, but is a pleasure to drive. Extremely comfortable leather seats, tons of room, terrific sound system with 6 CD changer. The big V-8 and tow package make pulling trailers a snap. My only complaint is an annoying tendency for the drivers side window to occasionally "pop" into place when closed while driving. It must be due to air pressure because it never happens when the vehicle is standing still. Otherwise, I couldnt be happier. Fuel efficiency is not bad at 13.6 mpg on the highway. Lets face it, its a luxury station wagon on steroids.

  • Mostly Happy--So far! - 2002 Ford Expedition
    By -

    Pros: One of the best vehicles Ive driven. Comfortable for both front and 2nd row seats (little tight for third row passengers). Cons: For a new truck, I think three visits to the dealer for warranty work is too much. 1. In winter, front driver window would take several times of pressing the down button before it would open. 2. Solenoid needed replacing. 3. With 16,000 miles, one of the tires blew. Other than those three issues, I couldnt be happier.

  • Great Ride / Gas Hog - 2002 Ford Expedition
    By -

    The most comfortable of all the SUVs that I have owned to drive. This includes Suburban, Yukon, and Explorer. Roomy, quiet, smooth and comfortable. Only downside -- horrible gas mileage with the 5.4. Averaging 13.9 mpg --- with the Suburban 5.7 I got around 16.3 for similar driving. If Ford could get the economy up a little this would be the best SUV going. Now its great -- but drinks too much fuel.

    Very satisfied with quality, comfort, convenience. Criticism of "twitchy steering" is overstated. Reasonable driving habits is all that is required. Fuel consumption is greater than the EPA estimate by 2 mpg on both City and Highway (12 vs 14 and 15 vs 17) Very capable towing. Hugh internal space for people and gear. No factory flaws - No complaints.

  • Good value, dependable product - 2002 Ford Expedition

    excellent build, AC cools fast, good over the road SUV, third seat cannot be removed.

  • Very Good so far - 2002 Ford Expedition
    By -

    We have had our Expedition for 2 months now and we love it. It rides great over most roads and the only time you can tell its truck origins is when you go over tall bumps. I drove it cross country and it was a dream on the road. The seats are very comfortable for long trips and the cruise control works perfectly. The adjustable pedals really make it easy to find the perfect driving position. Overall this is a great vehicle that we are very happy to own.
