Overview & Reviews

Ford's full-size SUV sports changes inside and out. Outside, the Expedition looks bigger and bolder. Some of its new styling cues, such as the egg-crate grille and raised hood, are from its little brother, the Explorer. Inside you'll find fold-flat second- and third-row seats, with a power-folding option for the third row. The second row is split-40/20/40 enabling the middle section to slide forward. The Eddie Bauer package has an in-dash six-disc changer (optional on the XLT) and steering wheel-mounted stereo and climate controls, as well as an optional DVD player, navigation system and heated-cooled seats.

But the big changes are the ones you can't readily see. Underneath the skin a double-wishbone independent rear suspension system and a rack and pinion steering configuration improve road handling. AdvanceTrac stability control, along with ControlTrac four-wheel-drive system and an increased width of 1.7 inches should help keep the rubber down and the shiny side up.

• Excellent interior design and comfort, wide-ranging versatility, impressive hauling capabilities, improved handling abilities, great crash test scores.

• Slow when loaded down, drives as big as it looks, stability control only available on high-line models.

  Truely Abused and Going Strong - 2003 Ford Expedition
  By ZippyDevoid - July 30 - 10:00 am

  The new design is top notch, congrats Ford. I have been towing a 6000 lb boat each weekend this Summer of 400+ miles (10.5 MPG). Plenty of power, new independent suspension is awesome, rear axle sways (&bounces) when towing - expected though since it is no longer a solid axle. Hiway MPG avg is 19. Turning radius is better then previous years. The lower center of gravity is noticable when cornering. It looks like we are going to keep this one for awhile.

  Outstanding SUV - 2003 Ford Expedition
  By jrl - June 29 - 2:00 am

  This is our second Expedition. The 97 went 51K flawless miles. I hated to trade it in until I drove the 2003. It has great power (5.4L), super comfort and capacity and great workmanship. Safety improvements alone justified the switch (Advancetrac, side curtains, side airbags, radar backup). Consumer Reports rendered itself obsolete with its biased review. The supposedly top- rated Honda Pilot is nowhere in this league or class.

  One great suv - 2003 Ford Expedition
  By smoogie - June 4 - 10:00 am

  I purchased the new 2003 Eddie Bauer Expedition and am very impressed with it. It handles great, has a lot of room, all the “toys” work well, it is fun to drive, comfortable, quiet ride and looks great. So far I would consider this vehicle the best I have ever purchased (and I have had more than my share of them).

  Luv this SUV - 2003 Ford Expedition
  By incabod - May 17 - 2:00 am

  We were going to buy the BMX X5 but, why spend 50k when when you can get so much more vehicle less money? I get more head turns in my Silver Birch Expedition than I would have in a "soccer mom" X5.

  By Bundi - May 12 - 10:00 am

  I am very happy with my 2003 Expedition. It is so comfortable to drive and rides awesome. Putting kid seats in is very easy and power fold third row is a must.

  Previous Ford Owner - 2003 Ford Expedition
  By Gary D. Urie - May 12 - 10:00 am

  I have not owned mine very long but I have owned a Ford for the last 6 1/2 years. I upgraded from the truck to the Expedition and I am very impressed. I have not been in it long but already the aesthetics are very pleasing and impressive (seats, interior design, creature comforts, exterior design, clearance, and wheels, etc.). It rides great even if it lacks the power of its competitors. I have not driven far enough to comment on mechanical reliability or long term road performance. If it holds up like the F150 truck and I believe whole heartedly that it will, then it is another winner from Ford. Gary

  Quality at an unbeatable price - 2003 Ford Expedition
  By Avery McClellan - May 12 - 10:00 am

  I tested every full sized affordable SUV on the globe. The Expedition was the most appealing. Totally new design. I was leaning toward a Chevy Tahoe or GMC Yukon. Then I test drove this Ford and fell in love. The quality of this ride is much higher than the GM product and even the Toyota. Plus the price of the Expedition was significantly less than a comparable equipped competitor.............NICE

  Great Tow Vehicle - 2003 Ford Expedition
  By Milano - March 30 - 10:00 am

  I really have enjoyed the Expedition so far. It has made a great tow vehicle and is very comfortable. The ride is good compared to others within its class (I evaluated both the Chevorlet and the Toyota). Things that impressed me the most initially were the interior design and the exterior design. As I have driven the vehicle I really have begun to appreciate the overall package. I would recommend the Expedition to anyone looking at this type of vehicle.
