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.

A nice BIG family vehile - 2003 Ford Expedition
By jtcornett - July 11 - 10:00 amI bought the Expedition instead of the Explorer is head room and size. The Explorer does not have adequate headroom for this 64" dad. I found decent deal on a used 03, but it has the 4.6 liter V8. I test drove the 5.4 liter and couldnt tell a big difference in power, however the 5.4 was new and not broken it yet. Otherwise, I really enjoy driving this vehicle. To me it doesnt feel as big and heavy as it really is. I took some pretty swift turns in a parking lot and it really hangs in there with bit of over-steer. The confident feel of the vehicle is what sold me in the first place...plus its HUGE. I like that.

Nice 4 wheel drive SUV - 2003 Ford Expedition
By JSilman - June 9 - 2:00 amFord has come a long way since the days of the Bronco, which is the last 4 wheel drive I had. This expedition handles extremely well with the rack and pinion steering and is very comfortable.

Life with my new expedition - 2003 Ford Expedition
By bbr - May 24 - 10:00 amSo far I have found the ride and handeling to be exceptional, especially for a vehicle of this size. The one issue was a very slight vibration intermittently in the steering wheel. My dealer provided me with a rental car and is replacing the steering gear after a series of tests to rule out tire balance etc. The fit and finish are very good.

2003 EXPY EB Comfort - 2003 Ford Expedition
By vndds - April 17 - 10:00 amThis is a different kind EXPY, I had model EB 2002. Ride smooth, powerful w/ 5.4l. With independent suspension, when sitting a third row, you do not have bumping feeling with rear axles. Roomy for legs (3rd row). Flipping down 2nd row is quiet and easy for women.

review - 2003 Ford Expedition
By valerie rinehart - February 22 - 10:00 amI love my new car. I like the handling much better than the 2000 Expedition that I traded for this new SUV. Handles more like a car than previous models. I also love the rear seat, folding level with the floor.
