  By susan - March 31 - 6:07 pm

  I have owned 6 different SUVs and I find this new King Ranch beautiful, comfy and great for all your kids and their friends. Pulls in and out of parking lots with ease no blind spots. Fun to drive because its easy. Super++++

  Poor Quality Expedition - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Houstondude - March 19 - 12:28 pm

  My Expedition has just over 10K miles and it has been in for repair four times for the same problems. Rattles in the doors, squeaks in the back seat, and blue smoke pours out of the tailpipe upon cold start up. Ive also had trouble with the touchpad keyless entry, electric mirrors and the remote locks. The dealership has not fixed but one problem the first time in. I have had to clean out the car every time to allow them to evaluate the rattles. I purchased the extended warranty and the pre-paid maintenance plan. Buying this car from this manufacturer and this dealer was a horrible mistake. Ford will accept no responsibility for their own poor quality workmanship. Never Again - NO MORE FORDS!

  BBS TRUCK - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By BILL - March 10 - 5:52 pm

  This is my third Expedition and I love them. Handling is the best. For a large vehicle it handles great and parks very easily. Towing is no problem and the new 5.4 engine should solve the only complaint by improving gas mileage while adding power.

  04 Expedition - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Rob Trez - March 6 - 10:32 pm

  Very convenient vehicle with great towing capacity. Typical 5.4 liter is noisy and loves gas. Second Expedition I have purchased because of reliability and ease of operation. Family friendly easy to access third row.

  Great Family Vehicle - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Sylvia de Valcourt - February 25 - 3:26 pm

  With the arrival of our 3rd child we test drove several SUVs and chose the Expedition. We test drove the Nissan Armada, Honda Pilot, Toyota Sequoia, and two minivans. We needed room, AWD or 4WD for beach excursions, and towing for a recreational boat. Ive hauled as many as 7 people (with luggage) comfortably and everything from 6 ft. tables to 8 ft. long 2x4s. The highway ride is smooth and passing is a breeze with the 5.4L engine. Turn radius is surprisingly tight for a large vehicle. My biggest disapointment is the mileage. We knew it would be bad, but we dont even get 14 mpg. We drive mostly highway miles and try to keep rpms to 2K. Our 2001 F-350 7.5L TD averages a better 19 mpg.

  Great Truck!! - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Kevin - February 21 - 10:35 pm

  Regarding the "low-rent" interior, I got a wood kit from the dealer and factored in to the monthly payment, which made the interior look "high-end" and very luxurious. This truck is great, with a much more flexible interior versus the other larger competitiors. The 2005 5.4L has a little more horsepower, which I would have appreciated over my 2004. Otherwise, no complaints (and this from a former BMW owner!). As a suggestion, an updated Nav system, built in Bluetooth and a cassette option would have been appreciated.

  Its a Navigator Without the Bling - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By treidnote - February 21 - 12:31 pm

  Optioned up with air suspension, tow package, side airbags & AdvanceTrac, the Limited has all the features & functionality of the Lincoln at about $10k less - and much less of the look at me due to the monochrome paint treatment. Needed towing capability, and its been great right out of the box - new 300hp motor is stronger - but you have to dip into the throttle a bit more than you would expect to get at the power. Almost bought an 04 Eddie Bauer, but glad I waited.

  I Like it - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Rich - February 12 - 4:58 pm

  It is a good truck but lost some of the old ways of doing things on the inside, like seats that do more and visors that block the sun all the way around but overall it is a great truck.

  My Expedition - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Ken Willson - February 2 - 10:02 pm

  This vehicle is everything that it is hyped up to be. It is rugged in snow and mud. It is also good at pulling a 28" trailer. The interior is very comfortable and the heated front seats are great in the winter.
