Going in eyes wide open - 2008 Ford Expedition
By wvgasguy - November 10 - 6:55 amSeriously, how do you rate this as "fun to drive"? Its as big as a boat. Thats why I bought it though. It gets lously mileage. I knew that up front. Youll not get more than 14 with the 4wd. But no other SUV (other than the new Sequoia) will have as much leg room and be as comfortable. The specs on the Tahoe look comparable but if you actually sit in one youll wonder what kind of ruler they were using. The 3rd row is useless and the 2nd row is still tight. I wanted room. Besides the Expo has absolutely the most non-truck looking interior of them all (at least in the under $50K line) I tried not to go back but saw no compariable options out there for ride, comfort and usability.

Best Vehicle Yet - 2008 Ford Expedition
By Burt - October 28 - 3:58 pmThis is by far the best vehicle I have owned to date. While it is a large SUV, it handles and rides more like a car and the interior is as luxurious as my wifes Lexus. Ive had so many comments already on the styling and the interior.

Excursion Limited - 2008 Ford Expedition
By Diran K. - October 7 - 11:28 pmThis is a hot truck. It is really quiet inside compare to the last Expedition I traded in. Handles really well, great stereo, good power. I have received a lot of compliments already on the interior.

The Best Expedition Ever - 2008 Ford Expedition
By Iqbaldhillon2 - September 26 - 8:31 pmI just recently bought a brand new 08 Expedition Eddie Bauer. It is my best SUV so far. The back-up camera and GPS systems are excellent. The new 6-speed tranny is also smooth and powerful. I used to own a 05 Expedition and was about to buy a Tahoe until I noticed that the Tahoe had absolutely no legroom, and used a 90s 4-speed tranny. Then I saw the new Expedition and fell in love with it. Not only does the new Expedition feel good, but its fun to drive. The fuel economy has also improved from the previous generation. It is my new favorite in my driveway.

First time Ford SUV owner - 2008 Ford Expedition
By Scott - August 30 - 12:44 pmWe switched after two Tahoes and 2 Pathfinders. The final decision after reviewing MB GL, Chevy Tahoe, GMC, Range Rover Sport, Nissan and Infiniti, and Toyota was this loaded Expedition Limited. The big factors: Design, navigation nystem, folding 3rd row, interior finish, tow package,... At a lower price than anything the competition could offer. My wife is the primary driver and loves it already!

Great Size - 2008 Ford Expedition
By Mike V - May 30 - 5:07 pmThe mpg is good for a vehicle this size, however you need to stay away from trying to start fast with this truck. The turning radius is fantastic. All seats are comfortable and when the 3rd row is down, there is a good amount of room for hauling and storage. It has been a great vehicle. Downside of vehicle: the interior is a sand color and the steering column is the same color, on sunny days the reflection off of the column bounces onto the gauge panel and presents a problem viewing gauges. This should be painted a darker color or black.
