  Expedition - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Cindy - February 1 - 9:42 am

  I love my Expedition but shortly after I bought it, gas went sky high. That was a minus but the space and comfort for my family made the purchase very worthwhile.

  This is a good vehicle. It is reliable and the traction control has helped in the Florida rains. I have never been able to get the navigation system to work properly but thats ok ... we still have maps. The kids love the back seat DVD player but it is inconvenient because it blocks your rearview mirror 100% when it is in use. The back up warning is very effective and saved many a kids bike from being crushed.

  Lots of changes from my 2002 Expedition - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Mark K - October 18 - 12:04 am

  Traded my beloved 2002 Expedition for a brand new 2005 last month. Lots of differences, also some similarities. So far the 2005 has run flawless. I replaced the stock wheels and tires immediately. Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revos best tire ever made for an SUV makes this truck stick like glue. The 2005 version sits lower than the 2002, something that on one hand is disappointing, but it is easier to get into and out of. The 300HP V8 moves this SUV without breaking a sweat. My 2002 had the 4.6L V8 and while it was a solid running engine, when fully loaded it didnt have nearly the pep the 2005 has. Well see how durable the new engine is over time. Styling is very clean.

  Could be better - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Outlook - September 19 - 12:23 am

  This is my third Expedition and with this one I would have to say that Ford is trying to cut some corners on their bottom line. The interior feels like they put in more "hard plastic" materials. I have had a lot of cosmetic issues with the exterior. The climate control seats used to be built into the seats now it is a blower that goes under the seats that you can hear when on. The entertainment screen could be in the back of the seats because it blocks your view while driving. Too much cheap plastic inside this model.

  Buy one or lose out. - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Dee Dee Callahan - September 7 - 2:58 am

  After buying the Expedition I will not own another type of vehicle. Its great for everything we do camping, sports, hauling (trailers & quads), traveling. I can not say enough.

  Happy Owner - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By mike - August 16 - 6:45 pm

  Bought a 2005 Eddie Bauer to replace a 1998 XLT. What great changes during the last 7 years. I love the the interior and exterior designs and the ride is wonderful.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Good utilitarian vehicle. Some interior upgrades would be nice. I got the Eddie Bauer version but still a little unfinished.
