This Year's Model Updates:

Ford's full-size SUV sports changes inside and out. Outside, the Expedition looks bigger and bolder. Some of its new styling cues, such as the egg-crate grille and raised hood, are from its little brother, the Explorer. Inside you'll find fold-flat second- and third-row seats, with a power-folding option for the third row. The second row is split-40/20/40 enabling the middle section to slide forward. The Eddie Bauer package has an in-dash six-disc changer (optional on the XLT) and steering wheel-mounted stereo and climate controls, as well as an optional DVD player, navigation system and heated-cooled seats.

But the big changes are the ones you can't readily see. Underneath the skin a double-wishbone independent rear suspension system and a rack and pinion steering configuration improve road handling. AdvanceTrac stability control, along with ControlTrac four-wheel-drive system and an increased width of 1.7 inches should help keep the rubber down and the shiny side up.

Pros:
  • Excellent interior design and comfort, wide-ranging versatility, impressive hauling capabilities, improved handling abilities, great crash test scores.
Cons:
  • Slow when loaded down, drives as big as it looks, stability control only available on high-line models.

  • Much improved for 03 ...... - 2003 Ford Expedition
    By -

    The 2003 Expedition is greatly improved frame and body from earlier versions. The 5.4L motor and tranny are still the same as earlier models. Overall Im very satisfied with the new Expedition and it tows my boat well. Good fit and finish on most areas. I installed a cargo mat in the rear, so the 3rd row seats are not really a factor for me, but they are there if I need them. Who decided to put cup holders down by your feet anyway? That is the biggest obstacle to entering and exiting this truck!

    I have so enjoyed my 2003 Expedition! It handles so well. I have pulled a 27 trailer with it and it handled and powered better than my wifes 2005 Yukon XL. Fold flat rear seats make it great for hauling large cargo. The navigation system and rear DVD have been used and enjoyed extensively.

    My wife never thought she could handle a vehicle of this size, but the expedition drives like a car.

    I have had the pleasure to drive this vehicle both in the city and the highway and found it a true joy to drive. From the interior space and easy loading and unloading of passenger in all three sections to the handling and spacious seating within the interior. Whether I am taking the neighborhood kids to a ball game or loading up three couples, the leg room and comfort of the seats are always a comment I receive. I have had no mechanical problems.

    This is the in my opinion rates top in its class for comfort, reliability, and safety. We purchased this vehicle mostly because of safety features and reliability. The only thing I would change would be the engine size,when towing a large boat it could use a bit more power.I should have purchased the (5.4L) insted of the (4.6L).

  • Best of Class - 2003 Ford Expedition

    I have had my 2003 expedition EB about two weeks. I traded a 1999 expedition EB which I loved. The 2003 no longer has that truck ride, feel, or comfort. No flaws at this point. Gas mileage still a little weak. I have all the options and the DVD is nice but blocks your rear mirror view, in the seat like Cad would be better. I would rate this car a 9++ and I have owned many different brands and types.

  • Got to Love It - 2003 Ford Expedition

    Ford Hit a homerun with these vehicle. Compared to the Tahoe and Yukon the Expidition is King. The Third seat alone tells you which engineers were using their brains. Ride is wonderful. Replace the Air Filter with a K&N Airfilter($50) and I get 1 mile per gallon better plus some horsepower. Eddie Bauer Eddition has Cruize Controls, Radio Controls, and AC controls on the wheel. Dual keypads which will set the seat and mirrors according to which key pad unlocks the doors. Once again I will never go back to Chevy or GMC

  • Great truck - 2003 Ford Expedition
    By -

    Its the family prime mover and its been across the USA twice and up and down each coast with no problems. The economy isnt the best, but it pulls a trailer with ease and also isnt affected with gear on the roof. The interior is great with loads of room and even adults can use the third row. We have the FX4 which turns out is pretty rare, even dealers are surprised to see it when we take it in for service. If it wasnt for the front brake dust issue, it would be perfect. Its been in for warranty on leather seats, rear seat frame rust, and roof paint too thin.
