Overview & Reviews
Redesigned last year, the Expedition offers few changes for 2004. Option packages and trim levels have been slightly revised, and in some cases, renamed. The XLS replaces last year's XLT Value trim level, while a new NBX trim level replaces the FX4 off-road package. And there is now an XLT Sport trim level. A tire-pressure monitoring system is now standard on XLT, XLT Sport and Eddie Bauer, while the previously standard limited-slip rear axle is now an option.
- Well thought-out interior with plenty of room for passengers and their belongings, handy fold-flat third-row seat, impressive handling for its size, great crash test scores.
- Needs more power, ride quality suffers on rough roads.

Brake dust - 2004 Ford Expedition
By Sam Frank - December 19 - 12:33 pmMy major dislike of this vehicle is the excess accumulation of brake dust at the front wheel.

New Braking System - 2004 Ford Expedition
By Jimmy Odell - December 11 - 10:53 am3 weeks after the purchase I noticed a large amount of brake dust forming around the front wheels. When I called my sales rep., he told me that the new brake pads were softer and produced more brake dust. At 22000 miles I am having to replace the front brake rotors because they wear out with the pads. Instead of an annual cost of maintenence for brakes being around $200, its now going to be around $550. The sales rep. should have told me this. I see a lot of new Expeditions with the same brake dust buildup I like me they will be in for a shock when servicing their brakes. Still it seems the car industry doesnt make full disclores to the consumer.

Happy So Far.... - 2004 Ford Expedition
By ospers4 - November 27 - 3:38 pmI shopped all the full size domestic SUVs and two imports and I when the dust settled, I chose the Ford. There are compromises no doubt, but when you weigh all the factors that I thought were important in a vehicle like this: ride comfort, hauling capacity and flexibility, price & features I found the Expedition more than capable. The 5.4L provides adequate acceleration, not as good as the Dodge or Nissan, but on par with the GM & Toyota. Your not going to be winning any stop light drags, but this motor will pull hard and true. A lot of people complain about the mileage on this vehicle, but folks what do you expect? Its 2+ tons w/a V8, Ive average 18 on the highway @ 75mph.

My Dalmatian Loves Her Expedition - 2004 Ford Expedition
By Annie Spots - November 27 - 9:16 amI just purchased my fourth Expedition. I reap the benefits of a safe, reliable, beautifully appointed SUV. I feel as if Im driving my living room sofa around the leather interior is luxurious, the dash is easy to attend to, and the ride is silk. Long trips in this vehicle are quite easy on the body--the ride is superb.

ford - 2004 Ford Expedition
By who care - November 19 - 2:00 amThis is our second Expedition. Our first being a 1999. Some things are better,like the third row seat. Vision is terrible when backing up or trying to find blind spots. There needs to be a cup for change. Used to use the ashtray since i did not smoke. The lighter thingy in the compartment is a waste with a second one on the side. Locks are oppisite and will take some getting use to. Seems smaller but much more safer. We really love the 1999 so this will definelty take some getting use too.!!

By cruzen - November 19 - 2:00 amBest vehicle that I have ever owned. Only 700 miles and I look forward to driving it everyday. handles great and is very comfortable. all the options make me feel like im in another social class level. we had the capatin chairs put in the second row so we have all kinds of room. I recommend it to all my freinds.

best yet - 2004 Ford Expedition
By bobbyll - November 13 - 2:00 amIve owned 7 suvs and this is by far the best. It has features found nowhere else except in the Navigator and gets great gas mileage for a 5400 pound vehicle.

As good as I expected - 2004 Ford Expedition
By George Heimur - November 7 - 10:00 amI researched all of the SUVs and this one is the largest and most luxurious. Cheaper than others with more and better features. Bought on 4/30/2004. 2 small problems, One with an interior light and the other with the power seat getting stuck on occasion. Dealer has ordered part. Everything else is great. Mileage is what I expected about 12 around town and have seen 15.5 on the Highway. Car has 1800 miles on it and Mileage should improve especially on a long trip, Truck feels heavy Duty and luxurious

Like no other - 2004 Ford Expedition
By Overjoyed - November 7 - 10:00 amI have had this vehicle for a year and absolutely love it, still. With two kids its perfect for traveling. I looked at Toyota, Land Rover,GMC, Acura but pound for pound you cant beat Ford. I have all options except Nav & Autotrac. My only complaints are the bottom of the drivers seat wears on the edge from getting in/out of the truck and the brake dust (plan to get ceramic pads to take care of this) Mileage is only about 13.4 city and 14.5 highway but I didnt get this vehicle for the mileage. I will be pulling a boat in April and cant wait. Also plan on buying another in June 05 with Nav to replace it just for the heck of it.
