Overview & Reviews

Ford's second-largest SUV changes little for 2001. XLT models get privacy glass as standard equipment, while the upscale Eddie Bauer trim level now comes with HomeLink and a class IV trailer towing package (4x4 models only). Eddie Bauers also get second-row leather captain's chairs and a rear-seat entertainment system as optional equipment. A new "No Boundaries" option package includes a monochromatic black exterior, side body cladding, 17-inch wheels, illuminated running boards and special front seats.

• Excellent interior design and comfort, wide-ranging versatility, impressive hauling capabilities.

• Still might be too big for some garages, lack of power, on-road comfort hurts off-road capabilities.

  Great SUV - 2001 Ford Expedition
  By StephenEB - November 3 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned this SUV since new and am very happy with it. It has the "No Boundaries" package and is equipped with the 4.6L V8. It is a little under- powered but if driven carefully it has pretty good (almost 20mpg avg) fuel economy considering its size/weight. I plan on keeping it for many years and so far its been trouble-free.

  Two problems in three years. Not bad! - 2001 Ford Expedition
  By RickC5 - October 9 - 2:00 am

  We have had our 2001 Expy almost three years since we bought it new. Only two problems have come up and both were fixed under warranty at a recent visit to the dealer. 1) Rear wiper stopped functioning. FIX: dealer replaced wiper motor. 2) Loss of power when very hot outside. FIX: dealer had an upgraded engine computer chip that seems to have fixed the problem. Our only major complaint: awful gas mileage, usually 13-14 mpg. Goes with the territory for such a behemoth, but poor nonetheless.

  Love my Expedition - 2001 Ford Expedition
  By dsnylndmom - March 19 - 2:00 am

  I recently traded my 1999 Durango SLT in for the Expedition, its a 2001 Bauer I bought it with only 5,500 miles (yes thats 5 thousand)for $26,900! Got a GREAT deal! There is so much more room than the Durango, adults can sit in the back with no problem! And I love the captains chairs in the center row and the way the captains chairs fold flat when not in use. The gas mileage is actually alittle better than the Durango, which was a bonus! The leather interior is plush and comfy, great for a long drive. We added an aftermarket dvd entertainment system which really helps on those long drives!

  This is my second expedition. the first was a 97. I wasnt that impressed with my first one, but room and duribility were what I needed. The 2001 is much better than the 97, in interior design and quality. There is more interior storage, better quality and more standard features.

  XLT-4WD-Dallas - 2001 Ford Expedition
  By ramisdom - March 1 - 2:00 am

  Have had Expl, Sub, Tahoe...Expedition is favorite...nimble, larger, easier to park, stable, plenty of torque. Like the AWD...very tough to fishtail on ice/snow/mud...great in bad weather around N. TX. The 4.6L is most capable, have pulled small loads, trailers/boats.

  2001 ford xlt expedition - 2001 Ford Expedition
  By dlenhart - December 13 - 2:00 am

  We bought this vehicle in Oklahoma when we both had good paying jobs. We moved to Montana where good paying jobs are a joke. We are stretching money to continue to make payment on this vehicle as we really like it, but we dont know how long we will be able to afford it. Sure hate to trade or sell it. It has driven through ice, snow, fields, and mud since moving to this beautiful state, if you know what I mean. It is not 4WD, but handle itself like with feed bags in the back.

  Nice SUV - 2001 Ford Expedition
  By Greg G - October 27 - 1:00 am

  For the price I think this truck was a deal considering all the interior space that you get. I could not find any other trucks in this price range that had this much room. I looked at the Tahoes but they were thousands more and they appeared to have less room.

  My 4th Ford - 2001 Ford Expedition
  By Built Texas Tough - June 20 - 2:00 am

  This is a very functional SUV, with lots of creature comforts. Built sturdy, handles well on the open road, and lots of neat and innovative features. Only gripe is (WAS) the garbage General tires they put on as standard equipement lasted 10K miles before first blowout. Do yourself a favor and put Michelins on and it drives like a dream.
