Overview & Reviews
The 2007 Ford Expedition benefits from a major refresh and a substantial price cut. Up front, Ford's large SUV has been restyled to look more like the F-150, while underneath there's a stiff new chassis with a redesigned front and rear suspension to improve ride and handling capabilities. Larger brakes were fitted to shorten stopping distances, and a new power-steering pump is said to reduce effort levels in the parking lot. Last year's four-speed automatic transmission is replaced by a six-speed automatic. Stability control and front seat-mounted side airbags are now standard, as are side curtain airbags, which now cover all three rows of seating. Other changes include extra soundproofing material, redesigned seats, a more powerful air-conditioner and updated electronics options, among these a DVD-based navigation system, an MP3 player input jack and Sirius satellite radio. Finally, Ford has extended powertrain warranty coverage to five years/60,000 miles.
- All major safety features come standard, comfortably accommodates seven to eight passengers, third-row seat folds into floor, impressive handling for its size, high tow capacity.
- Unimpressive gas mileage even for a large SUV, a few low-grade interior plastics.
