  • You get what you pay for - 1998 Ford Expedition
    By -

    Bought my Expedition with 60k miles and its been reliable as sin. The only work done was on struts at 90k. 17" tires arent cheap, and neither is gas at 13 mpg, but (if you ever studied physics) its nice knowing that you have 2 1/2 tons of metal traveling at the same velocity and direction you are. Three kids, three dogs, and a lot of help moving friends stuff was no problem for this great SUV.

    I got this Expedition with 83k on it, now it has almost 200k and I am looking forward to 300k. Really comfy we have looked at newer cars and just cant trade it away. Great car.

    We bought this vehicle for long term ownership and it has not disappointed. In 2005 we had to put about $1200 into some repairs, but that is about it for major repairs (the scheduled service at 60k was pretty expensive at about $700). Lots of room for 5 adults, never missed the way back seat.

    Love this vehicle. Bought it almost 2 months ago and it has become our #1 car out of 3. I originally bought it for myself, but my husband has come to love it. Its now his. Theres four in our family, and my husband sits in the drivers seat, Im in the passenger, our son in the second row, and our daughter in the third row. Its a great car. I would surely buy another!

  • 4WD Towing machine - 1998 Ford Expedition

    Great vehicle for pulling my 2300 lb. boat and for hauling people around. We have gone all over America on trips in this. Always dependable. Good job on Fords part, an excellent truck.

  • The Expedition - 1998 Ford Expedition
    By -

    So far with this SUV, I have never once broken down. Of couse you have the "here and there" replacements, but it NEVER left me stranded once! This vechicle is strong too. When driving in the snow and other road conditions, I never go stuck with the 4WD system.

  • I love my Ford! - 1998 Ford Expedition
    By -

    I am in construction as is my Ford Expedition we both handle it very well. It has all the power I need for towing yet a very smooth ride that my 6 month old daughter enjoys. It sticks to wet or even icy roads well and takes mud and rough terrain with ease. I change the oil and keep up on scheduled maintenance and it has never hinted at any mechanical problems to date. I realize it is not the funnest task to wrestle the third seat out if you need the extra space but other than the weight of the seat itself it unlatches nicely. I have 5 children who love riding in "daddys big truck" and would never put them in anything that I was not sure about. I am SURE about my Expedition.

    We purchased the vehicle new in April 1998. We now have roughly 108,000 miles on the vehicle and it drives the same as the day we bought it. The vehicle has required minimal maintenance, and is probably the finest and most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I have rarely put on more than 60,000 miles on a vehicle, but anticipate driving this vehicle to at least 175,000 or 200,000 miles. It is tight and looks great! Although the original MSRP was roughly $43,000 and the mileage is not so good, this vehicle has lasted so long, and at such minimal expense that it will be the most economical vehicle I have ever owned.A great truck!

  • Solid Feel - 1998 Ford Expedition
    By -

    Just bought this for about $14,000. after 71k mi. the ride felt solid and the reviews checked out to be decent. I liked the security of a large vehicle, the 4x4 and the third row seating for my family of 4 and occasional guests. leather is largely intact, but you can see some rips on the drivers seat. electricals are a bit weird the door ajar sign stays on for a couple of minuges someitmes, and its tough to figure out if the whole thing is malfunctioning or if its trying to be smart. abut 14 mi/gal. the 5.4L engine is plenty to jump the truck out of the road if you need to merge or merge ahead of the other car rather than behind it.
