Great Ride - 2008 Ford Expedition
By STEVE - November 22 - 11:51 amWe just puchased used 08 Expedtion limited 4x4. We love this thing. Drove it 600 miles at 78 mph and got 18.3 mpg. Ride is great, for a 66" person and the room inside is perfect. We had reservations about buying one but not now.

How Long Will the Japanese Myth Last? - 2008 Ford Expedition
By Steve - October 7 - 11:45 am10 months and 2700 miles later Im impressed with the rock solid, quiet interior, great road manners, surprisingly stable, short braking, and 14/20 MPG. Ive owned 3 different Japanese vehicles in the past, but given this massive Fords decent-for- class mileage and quality, I sure am glad I resisted the inclination to get a Sequoia and pocketed the extra $9,000. This SUV is the hidden gem in the field. Just compare its third row to the equivalent regular wheelbase GM, Rover, Infiniti, and Toyota, and youll know that Fords engineers have slaved as hard as their accountants to produce untouchable SUV value. Finally, I find it exudes a strikingly handsome blend of toughness and aristocracy.

Love this truck - 2008 Ford Expedition
By R.Hopkins - October 2 - 9:10 pmI enjoy everything about this car. It has so many great features. My kids enjoy the capain chairs and watching DVDs. We recently had a power outage and we all watched a movie in the car. I have had cars with heated seats but this is my first with cooled seats. I feel very safe in this car. I looked a long time to find a car with all the features I wanted and I found it.

Its more than big! - 2008 Ford Expedition
By Chris - September 1 - 10:16 pmThis is my third Expedition and I still love the vehicle. Every time we compare to other SUVs and minivans. For the price and size, you cant beat it. Our last was the 4.6L 2002 model so this was a change for us. While I miss the better gas mileage, we are still getting 17 mpg. With kids, we pack heavy. Theres always plenty of room. The new design is boxier than the older style. I liked the older styles exterior better. However, the new interior is much better. The stow-away 3rd seat, and the middle bench that folds in three places is a big improvement. And as much as I miss that better MPG of the 4.6L, I love the power when I hit the gas now. Third Expedition, no complaints!

Second Review after six months - 2008 Ford Expedition
By Kayemtee - August 6 - 10:55 pmI love this truck! After six months, only one small problem(heated and A/C seat module needed replacement). Extremely comfortable ride, better than any car Ive owned. Seats are great on a long trip. Tows my 6000 lb. boat with ease. Im now getting 18 mpg in mostly fast highway driving which is 2 miles better than my 03 V8 AWD Explorer.(10 mpg towing the boat) The turning circle is reasonable given its size. Acceleration is adaquate. Better ride quality and much better value than Toyota.

Great SUV - 2008 Ford Expedition
By indiborn92 - August 4 - 2:20 amI bought a 2008 Expedition and I was very happy with it. I rarely drive though due to high gas prices, but when I do it is probably the best in my driveway.

Nice ride! - 2008 Ford Expedition
By FORDFAN1 - July 26 - 4:18 pmThis is our 2nd Expy and and what an improvement over our 2004. We liked our previous model but this one is so much better. Quiet, smooth ride, better control placement, heavy duty brakes are a huge improvement, back up sensors and more standard features included. Love the Sirius radio, power fold flat seats are so much easier to manage and DVD entertainment system with the 8" screen. The 18" chrome clad wheels look great. Gas mileage isnt great with a vehicle this big but it is improved from our 2004. About 14mpg in city driving so far.

Perfect Big SUV - 2008 Ford Expedition
By Barry Alexander - June 28 - 1:57 pmThis is the first Ford I have ever owned and, in fact, the first domestic car since I was a kid. We tested every large SUV from the QX 56, to the Denali and Sequoia. The Expedition was the best priced and best balanced of the entire bunch. The independent rear suspension does make a difference in handling in comparison to the GM Yukon/Tahoe variants. The interior is well thought out and, while there are some rough edges, no where near the interior disaster of the new Toyota Sequoia. If you have a large family and need to tow, this vehicle serves its mission well.

As Good as it Gets - 2008 Ford Expedition
By Ovaleeter - June 20 - 11:55 amWe needed a replacement for our 125,000 mile Honda Pilot. Naturally, the new 09 Pilot was our first stop. It wasnt an improvement over our current one. Looking and researching over two months brought us the Expedition. Wow, what a serious step up! We got a true 8 passenger SUV for the price of a pretender. We love it!

Great Family Vehicle - 2008 Ford Expedition
By Rich - May 25 - 4:47 pmMost versatile vehicle weve ever owned. Grand kids get into/out of child seats/3rd seat thanks to 2nd row buckets. Lots of safety features and great sound/dvd/nav system. Havent taken a long trip yet but look forward to doing so. White Tri-Coat paint and Sand leather interior is great for hot Texas summers. 20" chrome wheels make it the best looking SUV out there Local driving so far has been very comfortable. Commanding seat position and good visibility all around. This is a vehicle we plan to keep for a long time.
