Overview & Reviews
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.
- 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.
- Needs more power, ride quality suffers on rough roads.

3rd Expedition - 2004 Ford Expedition
By Andy Franco - April 5 - 10:00 amThis is my 3rd Expedition. Had a 98 & 01. None ever require repair other than recalls (lug nut 98 & seatbelt 01). As much as we loved the first two, the 04 is more than 2x better. My wife loves driving it as much (or more) than her BMW 328 convertible. On recent trip from Dallas to Vegas, got 16mpg going (against the wind) and almost 18 on return. The only thing we miss is the cupholders in the dash which must have been sacrificed for the in-dash CD changer. Ford seems to have thought of everything. We especially like sliding center rear seat for granchildrens car seat. My wife doesnt like not being able to see outside temp.

Fun for the whole family - 2004 Ford Expedition
By FGaustin - February 22 - 10:00 amA lighter foot on the pedal and smoother acceleration for better gas mileage. On average Im getting about 13m/gal. On long halls about 16.5m/gal. A feeling of modest luxury with a sense of practicality, so an active family of five and the dog can travel in comfort on those sking, biking and camping trips. And dont forget the entertainment center so while the boys play Game Cube, their sister listens to her favorite tunes.

7 years of good expeditions - 2004 Ford Expedition
By Rob Ross - February 16 - 10:00 amThis is our fourth expedition, and we would never buy another different full-size SUV. They have been great-trouble free, and the best full sizer out there. have used/driven all of the others including the Suburban etc-they do not compare well

Road Trip Warrior - 2004 Ford Expedition
By fourmonkeys - January 8 - 1:38 pmWeve owned our EB for about 2 1/2 years now and it has never dissappointed. It was comfortable with 4 kids in car seats and stuffed to the brim with a weeks supply of stuff on a 4000 mile roundtrip. Its a good to and from vehicle, especially with a bunch of kids, pop in a DVD and go. And you can tow a 5000 trailer with ease, barely noticeable with the power of the 5.4. An interesting side note, the front clip of a Cadillac Catera will fit in the back, with the seats folded down of course. Ill sell it when the wheels fall off, great do-whatever-you-need-to-do truck.

Four years and counting - 2004 Ford Expedition
By tw - December 22 - 1:37 pmGreat car value. This SUV holds so much. It handles better in the snow than my Range Rover which cost more than twice as much. This has been my best car purchase. Mileage is bad, but what real SUV has good mileage? This truck looks good on the road or parked next to anything. Also, the design still looks good today more than five years after the 2004 XLT first rolled off the production line.

3 Year Review - 2004 Ford Expedition
By Mr. Rick - December 10 - 2:11 pmI have owned this Expedition for 3 yrs and it now has 61k. Overall I am happy with my Expedition especially when the weather here in Michigan get rough. The biggest improvement I did was replacing the OEM Continental TRs with Michelin LTX A/Ts a few thousand miles ago. I wished I did this years ago. It makes the Expedition ride like a completely better vehicle. I would also definitely recommend buying a extended warranty for any issue that creeps up. Ive had to have the rear end rebuilt (whining), a brake caliper replaced, a transfer case leak fixed, lower ball joints replaced, & an idler pulley replaced. These were small nuisances but Ive seen worst from other makes and models.

Awesome SUV - 2004 Ford Expedition
By Jaren Packard - October 21 - 2:00 amAfter owning over 17 cars/trucks/suvs in the past 12 years this is by far the best, not only for Ford, but any manufacturer. Ride is like a Mercedes without the cost, interior even on the XLT is luxurious and comfortable and space utilazation combined with the innovative features it offers are superb. Triton V8 is so quiet and handling is more like a car than a Truck. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the market for a full size SUV.

Great SUV TO OWN - 2004 Ford Expedition
By frankaarthur - October 21 - 2:00 amBefore buying a 2004 Ford Expedition Xlt model.The wife and I owned a 2001 Toyota Highlander V-6. It a great car for two people And I would recommend it,but if you have a family I would not. In 2002,the wife and I became the pround parents of Twins. Suddenly we had no more room in the highlander the double stroller would take up half of the rear area. I wanted to buy the Toyota Sequioa, but it was too much dinero$$, so we shopped around and found a suv that not only had the room and space but was affortable. All I can say we are very happy with Expeditation.
