  A review - 2000 Ford Expedition
  By Fritz - July 2 - 10:48 am

  My Expedition is 9 years old, and I have started looking around for a replacement. What were high end features in 2000 are less than base now in most SUVs of this class. When I purchased this one I was ticked at Ford over a maintenance issue, but the GMs felt too cheap. Now, the new Expeditions feel too cheap. In 9 years I have replaced the the alternator twice, the water pump, the load leveling suspension motor, and the sunroof motor.. The reviews in 2000 indicated the electrical systems are where this vehicle would have problems, and that has proven to be pretty accurate. Back to the replacement... I love my current truck and have decided to just keep driving it.

  Lost an engine at 100k miles - 2000 Ford Expedition
  By W - April 8 - 3:45 pm

  Owned almost 9 yrs. except for the bottom end of the engine going out at 100k miles ($8k later) I love it. Use it for snow plow, pull 24 boat goes anywhere and has never let us down (except for the engine). Has original battery but new alternator. Lots of room and very comfortable. Handles well on wet, dry roads as wel as in ice and snow. I dont like all the cheap-looking plastic on the new Epeditions. Plus the prices are way too expensive. Get the gas mileage up to 22-25 mpg, keep the power and handling etc and I might buy another.

  found on road dead - 2000 Ford Expedition
  By kbajza - March 8 - 7:07 pm

  I bought this car new, and a year into owning it, the 5 disk cd player broke, and wasnt covered under the warrenty. After six years, one of the coils had to be replaced, and 6 months later, another one had to be replaced. both times the repair bill was over $500. 6 months later an O ring had to be replaced and because they had to remove the gas tank to figure that out, the bill was about $600 (the o ring literally cost 25 bucks). Just last year, the transmission blew. Thankfully my mechanic felt like being creative and replaced the solenoid pack and that worked but again, over $500 in repairs. All in all, Ive spent over 4000 replacing and repairing. Not worth buying.

  Good truck - 2000 Ford Expedition
  By Rideflytx - December 26 - 1:16 pm

  We bought this over the GM alternatives because of the interior design. Overall a good truck and reliable transportation. Transmission lost third gear around 120,000 miles and had it rebuilt. Other than that, no other mechanical issues. Interior cup holder in dash got stuck, some sort of grease leaked out from under the center console and stained the carpet. Otherwise solid truck. Would buy again - selling now to move to smaller car since we are out of infant seats.

  Awesome car - 2000 Ford Expedition
  By pmd - August 22 - 12:09 pm

  I have had this car for 8 years and its gone about 243,000. I have only had two minor repairs, an alternatior and a thermostat, less than $500. Anything else was normal, like tires, brake pads and oil changes. I thought I should sell it 2 years ago but kept it and am so glad I did. It just keeps on going. My locks dont respond properly and the drinkholder broke but the car moves with no problem and has not let me down.

  Love my truck! - 2000 Ford Expedition
  By Sam - July 7 - 6:56 pm

  We bought this truck new off the lot. (Gas was much cheaper 8 years ago!) We opted not to buy the extended warranty and have not had any major problems within the first 6 years of its life. However, with that being said, within the past 2 years, we have had to replace the sway bar, new brakes (twice), new front end calibers, new shocks, new emergency brake (prior mechanic cut it!), and just now - a new alternator.

  My Expy - 2000 Ford Expedition
  By Bruce - June 29 - 7:29 pm

  It has been a great truck except for the transmission. We are on #3. All under warranty but, the last was the extended warranty. Look elsewhere if you tow a trailer. The gas of course if now a problem.

  Good Vehicle, 8 years and running - 2000 Ford Expedition
  By Pat Smith - April 16 - 8:19 am

  At 83,000 miles the only work that has been done on the auto is throttle body cleaning at 80,000 miles and replacement of one coil at around 50,000 miles. Survived a strong hit from Ford Explorer with little damage and no one hurt. Mileage at 20mpg on highway which is good for a large SUV. Cannot get rid of it because it has been so very reliable and secure. Good driving position. Simple dash and plain styling and truck-like ride but big and safe. Rear back up sensor works great. Thanks.

  Not Bad - 2000 Ford Expedition
  By sydipoo - October 18 - 1:46 am

  Overall Ive been pleased since I had the driver seat reworked. I cant believe I havent seen more complaints about the uncomfortable leather seats. It had the most uncomfortable seat Id ever sat in. The back was so hard and bumped outward. I had the lumbar disconnected and added padding, so its ok now. Have had no mechanical problems and have 60k miles. Just replaced the battery. The front passenger air bag works intermitently, it will cost $300 to fix. I love the roomy cup holding area. It fits all my creature comforts, Kleenex box, drinks, hand sanitizer etc. Plus the huge console compartment. I hate the obstructed view where the side mirrors are. That took some getting used to.

  Safe to Drive - 2000 Ford Expedition
  By Chad - August 12 - 12:31 am

  I have 144,000+ on this Expedition. Because of the weight, I feel safe driving in snow/ice. The AWD is excellent. The leather seats are still in good condition. The safety could be improved with side air bags. The oil pressure when first started during winter time is 20-30 seconds delayed. I corrected this by using less restricted KNN oil filter. I used Castrol synthetic 0/40 motor oil. Also, I do transmission fluid change every 2 years by draining only then load new fluid added with 1 jar of trans-X. Spark plugs and some little things have been updated. I know the gas mileage is bad, but it rewarded me with the safety and comfort.
