  2005 Expedition - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By R. Ross - July 7 - 5:35 pm

  If you can live with the inevitable lousy fuel economy, this is a full size SUV Id highly recommend. All the bells & whistles and it drives itself. Consider the captains seats in the second row and navigation system (which was surprisingly hard to find on most at dealership models). We are pleased we ordered both.

  EDDIE BAUER - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By BARRY - June 22 - 2:47 am

  Significant improvements compared to my 1999 Eddie Bauer. Poor gas mileage 12 around town and 15 on freeway. Interior comfort better. Drawback is the tires. Mushy ride and sway compared to Michelins. Black dash board, in front of driver, radiates a lot of heat on hot days. Overall a lot of fun to drive and air conditioner is fantastic.

  Safety first - 2005 Ford Expedition

  Solid vehicle, comfortable and not as anemic as everyone says. You feel safe especially with side air bags.

  Good Bang for the buck! - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By czkid - June 15 - 1:49 am

  I bought this truck about a month ago and have been very happy with it. I compared the Durango, Sequoia and Tahoe. Seating folds flat in rear making the space very large without storing seats (vs. Tahoe). Wider and even fits an adult comfortably in third row (vs. Tahoe and Durango). Less of a blind spot (vs. Durango). I really like the Sequoia for many of the same reasons. In reality it came down to price between a Toyota and Ford. Between incentives and haggling I got 10K off the trucks price and good trade in value. I did not think the seats were very comfortable at first, but as with anything else my body has adjusted and now it feels great.

  love it - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By joanne - June 15 - 1:27 am

  I just bought the Expedition in May it is so different then driving a car. I dont think I want another car. We went for the Explorer but my friends said try something bigger. I was so intimidated by the Expedition. Why I dont know? It was a wonderful experience since I bought it. It protects me, it lets me shop for more things and I dont have to worry about storage space. I sit up high. I feel like Im on top of the world. Even though I am short, in my Expedition I am tall.

  Great for the money - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Isaac - June 9 - 5:54 pm

  My wife and I shopped around. Our first thought was an Explorer, but after all the research and thought, we bought the Expedition. Dollar for dollar, a better deal. After all the rebates, we saved about 2k over a Tahoe, and about 6k over a Toyota Sequoia.

  Ford Expedition - 2005 Ford Expedition

  The Ford Expedition is the greatest family vehicle out there. Great performance, incredible driving ability, and very comfortable on the interior. The vehicle rides like a luxury car and handles like a small sports car. Truly an amazing vehicle.

  Eddie Bauer Expedition - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Joe Midzalkowski - May 28 - 11:39 am

  Im 67" and my wife is 54". This is the first vehicle weve owned that is very comfortable for each of us to drive. Ive hauled a full load of luggage and my three dogs while pulling a heavily laden trailer with no loss of performance. Yesterday I picked up a half ton of cattle feed and three square bales of hay and still was able to pick up a major grocery order. Some of us DO need a vehicle this large.

  Great SUV! - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By DREQUET - May 28 - 9:34 am

  I traded in my 2001 Expedition 4WD XLT for the 2005 Eddie Bauer 4WD - what a difference in handling! The 2005 has more power and drives more like a car. I really liked my 2001 and wouldnt think of getting anything other than an Expedition. In comparison, the leather interior was of better quality in the 2001 and there were more storage areas. I use my Expy for dog shows and it makes a great dog vehicle. Crates it in the back with all the seats down and room for all the gear! Love this vehicle.

  My Truck - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Sandra R - May 21 - 2:49 pm

  I wanted to get an all around family vehicle that could go with this familys active life style. We go camping, have school activities and haul horses with us to equestrian events. We needed a friendly workhorse basically. This car has it in spades. The first time I hauled a two horse trailer and horses with it, though the gas mileage was low, the performance was excellent. You could hardly tell there was a heavy load back there. Towing package is excellent. Camping gear, hubby and kids all fit well and have their own space. It is a great vehicle.
