Excellent Expedition - 2005 Ford Expedition
By Natalie - April 13 - 5:47 pmThis is my second Expedition purchase. I bought the very first model that came out many years ago. I was so impressed with this Ford vehicle that I was determined to purchase another. I enjoy this vehicle very much and I feel quite safe within its confines. This vehicle is truly a mothers dream car.

Best of class - 2005 Ford Expedition
By cmbruce - April 12 - 4:30 pmWe had owned a 2000 Expedition and really liked the size of the truck. It had a few drawbacks third seat, and ride comfort. Having three children we needed the room. The new Expedition is an excellent choice Ford improved the ride comfort of the truck. The air conditioned seats are a must have and the folding rear seat makes the vehicle much more user frendly.

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

I Like it - 2005 Ford Expedition
By Rich - February 12 - 4:58 pmIt 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 pmThis 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.

My Best Vehicle Ever, Ever, Ever! - 2005 Ford Expedition
By Frank Driscoll - January 23 - 8:58 pmIts an Eddie Bauer 2H-AWD-4WH-4WL with Advance-Track & Stability Control. So it only gets 14-19 m/g as advertised (and it really does) and what would you expect with that new big engine. Its a lot smoother ride than my previous 2000 Expedition EB (AWD) and I think the 2H feature of this tranny contributes to this as much as the independent suspension on the straight aways when I compare the two.The maneuverability is awesome, so that must be where the roll stability and advance track comes in its like driving a fine automobile at speed. It just doesnt feel like a large SUV.And there is no road shock coming through the steering column, floor board or dashboard on rougher roads. ROCKSOLID I love it!

Much Better - 2005 Ford Expedition
By donny190 - January 13 - 7:26 pmWell last year as a New Years present I bought myself a Dodge Durango. Well it was a really bad choice i made, so this year i decided to get rid of that piece of junk and got myself a nice Expedition. This thing looks better, rides better, and has a more powerful engine i think it does at least. The inside seems roomier and is much nicer looking. Seems like i am driving a Lexus at times. I carpool a lot and the people i carpool with love it. I highly recommend that you go out and buy one. i wish it would get better gas mileage but it is better than my old 2004 Dodge Durango.

My 2003 Expedition XLT - 2005 Ford Expedition
By Colleen - January 6 - 12:17 amI love this truck! It has tons of room. With 3 young kids, (4, 3, 16 months), a double & single stroller & a dog I still can go food shopping without worrying about room. One of the best features is the 2nd seat in the 2nd row moves forward so a newborn/infant can be closer to mom. Another plus & must have is the rear sensing system. The biggest & best feature.... Its affordable!

2005 Expedition - 2005 Ford Expedition
By J W Kellogg - January 5 - 10:36 amI purchased the 2005 Expedition in November to replace my 2000. I could not be more pleased. The 300 hp engine provides the power and quickness that the older version needed. It took Ford a while to match the engine with the vehicle but they did a good job. The Expedition is well behaved on slick and icy streets and is a pleasure to drive in good weather. I find I get almost 16 mpg in the city and 20+ on the highway. Fuel economy can still increase but it is better than it was.
