Dont buy this truck - 2000 Ford Expedition
By rivera - April 15 - 12:26 pmWe have had this truck less than one year and it has left us stranded more than 4 times! The mechanic has made over $1,000 dollars for repairs on this truck. First the air bags broke, we replaced them with springs, then the battery went out, then the alternator broke, then the fuel pump needed to be replaced. I told my husband not to buy a Ford, now were both paying for it. Stick to Honda, mine has never had a problem, its ten years old 120,000 miles and still going. Were getting rid of this piece of junk.

Not Bad - 2000 Ford Expedition
By sydipoo - October 18 - 1:46 amOverall Ive been pleased since I had the driver seat reworked. I cant believe I havent seen more complaints about the uncomfortable leather seats. It had the most uncomfortable seat Id ever sat in. The back was so hard and bumped outward. I had the lumbar disconnected and added padding, so its ok now. Have had no mechanical problems and have 60k miles. Just replaced the battery. The front passenger air bag works intermitently, it will cost $300 to fix. I love the roomy cup holding area. It fits all my creature comforts, Kleenex box, drinks, hand sanitizer etc. Plus the huge console compartment. I hate the obstructed view where the side mirrors are. That took some getting used to.

Safe to Drive - 2000 Ford Expedition
By Chad - August 12 - 12:31 amI have 144,000+ on this Expedition. Because of the weight, I feel safe driving in snow/ice. The AWD is excellent. The leather seats are still in good condition. The safety could be improved with side air bags. The oil pressure when first started during winter time is 20-30 seconds delayed. I corrected this by using less restricted KNN oil filter. I used Castrol synthetic 0/40 motor oil. Also, I do transmission fluid change every 2 years by draining only then load new fluid added with 1 jar of trans-X. Spark plugs and some little things have been updated. I know the gas mileage is bad, but it rewarded me with the safety and comfort.

Only Drive Fords - 2000 Ford Expedition
By Kris - June 27 - 9:15 amI purchased this vehicle after owning an Explorer for about 4 years. I wanted something a little bigger to haul kids, friends, dogs. Explorer didnt have 3rd seat yet. I love this car. Weve driven it a long time for family trip, etc. including 2 large dogs. I love this car, its just time to start looking for something newer and with a 3rd seat that folds in instead of has to be taken out (very heavy).

What a truck - 2000 Ford Expedition
By boaloo - April 1 - 1:09 pmThis truck has been very good to me. I must say the only problem Ive had with it was the blown head gasket at 23,000 miles, but it was all under warranty. Other than that, its great.

Poor build quality...under engineered. - 2000 Ford Expedition
By Merkl - February 10 - 8:55 pmMine has had 77000 easy miles on it to date. The toughest thing it has to do is load up at Wal-Mart. In the past 19000 miles I have had to spend $2530.03 to keep it running. This includes an alternator and a new battery that the dying alternator killed, a new rear wiper motor, new rear lock actuator solenoid, new #5 coil, new lower ball joints, new left front door switch, new idler arm, and most recently new front sway bar links. Keep up the good work Ford. Way to go putting a 6000 plus lb. vehicle out on the road with paper mache in place of a typical truck front suspension. I have truly enjoyed getting to know the service guys at the dealership. Ill send them a card when it is gone.

Runs fine and strong at 75k miles! - 2000 Ford Expedition
By circleh - January 30 - 2:46 pmThis truck works fine. We have had it six years since new, great towing vehicle and people mover, mileage not too bad as it got older/broken it. I get around 19 or so on highway and 14- 15 in town - not bad for a really big heavy vehicle that is this strong. Replaced an axle seal and air compressor, and normal wear items. Im keeping mine, no need to trade it.

Good vehicle- but do the maintenance! - 2000 Ford Expedition
By Robertthegreat - August 18 - 11:24 amBought used in 2003 to replace 1995 Astro van that we had crashed. Has been a really good vehicle with no problems. When I bought it the dealer said that they had serviced the vehicle with a major tune up and transmission service. Recently when you push on the gas the car started to pull back in power. The first thing i thought was the transmission, so i had it serviced and the tech said it had never been serviced before, but was very clean. Well that wasnt the problem, a master mechanic finally found the problem as an arcing going across the distributor wire. So I paid for a major tune and had everything replaced. $700 dollars later, runs good now. Not a very cool car for Laguna Beach!

2000 Ford Expedition - 2000 Ford Expedition
By Jim - August 5 - 11:15 amThis has definitely been the best all-around vehicle I have ever owned. visibility is great, turning radius is unbelievable (it sure beats our Olds 98 and Buick LeSabre), air-adjusted lumbar support in seat works great and its a joy to drive on long trips.

AWD Eddie Bauer 4X4 - 2000 Ford Expedition
By GLScott - July 20 - 12:57 pmBig powerful SUV that can tow a boat and take the kids to school. A bit tall for kids in car seats (hard to buckle standing outside the SUV) but teens have no problem. Handles well in snow, rain and dry. No problem passing or getting up to highway speed. AWD hurts fuel mileage but 4X4 is nice for deep snow and any off road drive. Running boards and lower ground clearance are not well suited for serious 4X4 off roading. Should use running boards when exiting the SUV or pant legs can get mud/dirt on them.
