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.

  • The Premium Edition - 2002 Ford Expedition

    This vehicle is a one of a kind!! Cpt chairs for the 1st and 2nd rows are AWESOME!!! Moon Roof, Entertainment system and all the electronic toys available. This is an outstanding vehicle. The 4000 mile crosscountry trip (nine states) was fantastic and how many people can say that when they have a two year old sitting behind them. The best part was the price.

  • 3rd Expedition -- 02 doesnt live up... - 2002 Ford Expedition
    By -

    I previously owned 97 2wd XLT and 99 4wd EB. My 02 doesnt live up to the Ford standard I am used to. The ride in my "Premier Package" EB is horribly rough... although I have been told, each time I take it to the shop, it is due to the "load leveling air suspension" -- and is to be expected. Not at all like my 99 4wd, which was a great, smooth ride. Also, sunroof sliding cover never stays tightly closed... I assume it is due to the rough ride. Another gripe -- why in a $40,000+ truck do you not have a power passenger seat??? I would caution anyone about the suspension, unless you like feeling every bump in the road as if it were a large rock in your way!

    Initially was not considering Ford (had 2000 Windstar with 3 trans, 2 valve bodies and torque conv. in 19k miles). Drove lots of sport utes and vans, bottom line is Ford had best deal (0.9% for 5 years) and willing to negotiate on price more than anyone else. Got ext. warr., of course. It turns out we love this beast. Mileage is abt same as Windstar. It is very comfortable and great for road trips. Hope its holds up as well as my previous Fords (van excluded).

  • Its a runner - 2002 Ford Expedition

    To tackle the city streets or the mountain tops this is the vehicle to drive. I just traded my 97 expo xlt for a 2002 eb, and went from good to better. I cant wait to sit in traffic.

  • TheTank - 2002 Ford Expedition
    By -

    When I bought this vehicle I though that the interiors will hold up better. I will suggest that if you plan to buy one these tanks that you buy the factorys extended warranty, as repair for these car are expensive. There has been problems with the engines in the past. Such as Blown head gasket and transmissions going bad as early as 16,000 miles of use.

  • Still luv it... - 2002 Ford Expedition
    By -

    We had a 97 XLT Expedition and liked it so much that we got an 02 Eddie Bauer. The kids love the rear entertainment center for movies and PS2 games. The leather is attractive and comfortable and just like our prior model, we plan to drive across country. The reverse sensors have helped my wife tremendously in parking lots also. I do however think the 03 model is beautiful and wish we had waited.

  • Good overall vehicle. - 2002 Ford Expedition
    By -

    I have been a bit disappointed in the interior fit-and-finsh, but overall am pretty happy with this vehicle. Now that I see the 03s coming out, though, I wonder if we should have waited ...

  • This thing rocks! - 2002 Ford Expedition
