  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.

  Safety first - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By Fran Di Ienno - June 20 - 4:35 pm

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

  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
  By Tim Rambo - June 5 - 3:03 pm

  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.

  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.

  THE BEST SUV GOING! - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By PATRICIA GANT - May 14 - 12:40 pm

  This is the 2nd Eddie Bauer Expedition I have owned, and even with the fuel prices like they are, I wouldnt drive anything else, and I’m single. No kids, just love this driving machine! Its the safest vehicle I’ve ever seen that makes you feel safe on the road with the big trucks!

  Limited is like no other Expedition - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By G Hamrick - April 25 - 3:46 pm

  This is a great SUV. Wed been looking to replace our 2000 Expedition for months when I finally saw a Limited on the road. One simple, but important, selling point for my wife and I are the 10-way power adjustable low-back bucket seats in the front. Unlike all other Expeditions, the Limited has front seats with adjustable headrests (very similar to the Navigator seats) rather than the one-piece seatbacks. Woodgrain on the steering wheel and handle above the glove box along with monochrome leather seats makes for a classy- looking interior. Monochrome exterior with painted mirrors looks great (other Expeditions have black mirrors). Quiet, smooth ride, lots of nice options and excellent safety features.

  Second Chorus Even Better - 2005 Ford Expedition
  By TAD - April 14 - 12:25 am

  We bought our first Expedition in 1997. We never had it in the shop except for routine maintenance.Thought it was time to trade for a fresh one. This one has a ride that rivals my Continental (air suspension), gas milage is 17 locally and 19 on highway trips. So many comfort and convenience features are included, I forget it is a truck - until I was off road hunting. It is comfortably at home in that environment too. I am even more pleased than I expected to be and my wife and I rush to be the one to drive it every day. Ford has really refined this vehicle.
