This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • 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.
Cons:
  • Needs more power, ride quality suffers on rough roads.

  • great vehicle! - 2004 Ford Expedition
    By -

    Weve had three Expeditions and the new boby style is by far the best yet. The new power third row fold flat seat with the additional headroom in the rear makes it the most comfortable of all the large size SUVs we looked at. The gas mileage is very good for a vehicle this large . We get 15mpg local and 20+ mpg on the highway. The Eddie Bauer trim is very luxurious and we have been very pleased!

    This is my 2nd Eddie Expedition. I traded a 2001 in on this 2004 and I enjoy driving this vehicle.

  • I love it! - 2004 Ford Expedition

    At 52" I didnt think I could handle driving a vehicle this large. I was wrong. The running boards along with the adj. pedals were a must for me and have been great, as have the back sensors. The turn radius is that of an Explorer (at least the 2002 Explorer that I prev. owned) and is very manageable. The interior has lots of room for lots of kids and lots of stuff. The third row is wonderful as is the ability to fold down one of the seats. The large compartment next to the drivers seat is extremely useful. Two nagative aspects of the interior are: no storage pockets behind the front seats and no alt. compartment for sunglasses if you have a sunroof.

  • Loved my Escape, but my Expedition...Wow - 2004 Ford Expedition
    By -

    Ive always enjoyed driving an SUV. So when I traded in my Jeep Cherokee for a Ford Escape, it was a definite upgrade. Three years later, I traded IT for my Ford Expedition. Needed the space with three Labrador Retrievers and Two Businesses.....The truck pulls our boat and you dont even know the boat is back there. The power fold- down 3rd row is sooooo convenient....and the space is more than ample. Comfort and ride are complimented regularly by family and friends......You cant go wrong! Ford creates a WONDERFUL SUV!

  • Great Ride - 2004 Ford Expedition

    We love this SUV for long travels to visit family. Over the road behavior is exceptional.

  • So far, so good.... - 2004 Ford Expedition
    By -

    Ive owned my Expedition for 2 months now. I havent had any major problems. Love the ride and was surprised how well it handles. Only issue Ive had so far is sometimes when running the A/C, I smell a burning smell. Brought back to the dealer and the deordorized the Heating Box. Well see if that helps. Another thing I noticed is that sometimes when Im driving with the radio off, I can hear a humming or high pitched noise. Not sure what it is, hopefully its nothing. Overall, I think the Expedition is great, I love driving it and it looks pretty good on the road.

  • Another Great Expy - 2004 Ford Expedition
    By -

    This our 2nd Expy, we replaced our 2000 with the 04. We chose the captain chairs for the 2nd row this time and love it. The kids love the extra floorspace for their backpacks etc... The 04 rides much smoother and much more quiet. I wasnt too eager to get another one but my wife liked the 2000 and Im glad she convinced me. The 04 is awesome. Its comfortable, it drives better and has more options. It seems to have more power but thats probably more to do with us getting the 373 gears this time. Well pay for it milage :)

    i have driven an expedition since the 1st yr they were out and i love it wont trade it for anyhting else

  • Please fix the A/C - 2004 Ford Expedition
    By -

    There is something not too good about the A/C on these things. I live in AZ and it just doesnt perfore well in the heat. Tried service, but told A/C was redesigned to limit engine drag. Too bad, cuz the best thing I can say about the A/C is that it SUCKS! Other than that rest of vehicle is great, thus the higher ratings.
