Expedition Expeditions - 1998 Ford Expedition
By Steve Abeyta - December 7 - 11:12 amGas mileage is terrible but roominess and cargo carrying/towing capability make up for sucking down the petrol! Im the 2nd owner, having purchased it preowned and having 35,000 miles on it. I have performed all of my maintenance and repair work for the last 15 years and My Expy has been very good to me. I am at about 160,000 miles and have been cross country about 8 times with it and it has never left me stranded with the exception of right after purchasing it, I ran it out of gas! My fault but always keep the tank half full and youll do ok! Change oil every 3,000 miles and do the maintenance schedule and it will last a long time.

Knock on Wood-Great Truck - 1998 Ford Expedition
By JoeJJ - November 16 - 8:40 pmI bought this SUV with 55K on it. Currently have 91K on it with no major problems. Only repair thus far has been broken tie rod end which is scary because I drove it home 30 miles when the wheel started shimmeeing. After crawling under front end, the only thing holding the tie rod up was the rubber cover. $50 repair. Has decent power and is a bit heavy and rolly but I feel safe in it. It does suck gas like the tank has a hole in it. My friend has a Tahoe and he gets 16-18 mph, I only get 12-14 mph. I do think mine rides and drives better and is more stylish. All in all, a very good truck thus far, knock on wood. If they could only get 20 mph. :)

Good Family traveling vehicle - 1998 Ford Expedition
By mitchell,jennifer - July 6 - 2:00 amOverall it has been a good dependable vehicle to own and drive. Its major draw back is its fuel economy, my truck gets about 13 to 14 miles to gallon city and 17 to 18 highway. Repair costs and general maintenance prices is above average.

Think twice b4 buying - 1998 Ford Expedition
By Just1person - March 23 - 2:00 amThis is my first truck and I have to say, if this is your first time driving, this is a great suv to learn on. The outside looks good but they need to make the inside a little less complex. Had some transmission problems that would cost more than I want to spend but it is a pretty good and comfortable truck.

I love my truck - 1998 Ford Expedition
By K62cuby - February 28 - 2:00 amI bought the truck in winter but winter in Charlotte NC is usually 40-60 degrees. I purchased the expedition because I am a steel sculptor, I dont like putting rusted steel in my acura. Well I thought that was the expedition was good for...wrong. Later on that month we had one of the worst ice storms in Charlotte history. While all the cars and 2wheel drive trucks were sliding all over the road me and a couple of hummers were doing just fine. The size and the power of the Expedition is its selling point, and I cant see why any one who has to deal with snow on a constant basis would have one. It is a great buy and I am glad I have it around.

Good Solid Reliable Truck - 1998 Ford Expedition
By DenisM - February 20 - 2:00 amMy Expedition is easy to drive, comfy, roomy, smooth and reliable. The car has had no repairs except scheduled service. I tow, drag stumps, do mild off road, gobble up snow at least 26" deep with minimal resistance and it rides nice too.

My Favorite Vehicle Yet - 1998 Ford Expedition
By Headwaters - December 28 - 2:00 amBeing 64" tall, I was not able to find a midsize SUV that didnt lack headroom, legroom, width, or have the gear shift digging into the side of my right thigh. My 98 Expedition is the most comfortable, most rugged vehicle I have ever owned. Though huge, it is not overly "truck-like" in handling, it is powerful, roomy, unstoppable on the minimum maintenance roads I drive in Northern Minnesota. It rules.

178,000 miles and still strong - 1998 Ford Expedition
By CWTeel - November 7 - 2:00 amBought this one new in 1998. Excellent vehicle other than leveling system wore out and is expensive - compressor 695.00, front dealer only air shocks 1200.00 for both. Had two value coils go out at $400.00 each. When they start to go it is better to replace all eight of them for about $1200.00 which I did later. Seat leather and armrest are poor quality and cracked at 75,000 miles. Steering wheel leather is cheap and cannot be cleaned without rubbing off color. Great engine still runs like new. Four wheel drive and transmission are perfect and never a problem! Will buy another. Will drive this one till it dies. Trade in value is very low.
