This Year's Model Updates:

The King Ranch receives a chrome-tipped exhaust pipe, and the Limited's wood steering wheel moves to the options list.

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:
  • Poor fuel economy, V8 needs more low-end torque, some low-grade interior materials, ride gets harsh on rough roads.

  • Great Value - 2006 Ford Expedition

    I love this vehicle, I feel safe with the family riding in it and you dont feel cramped up after long road trips. Ford has come along ways in the past years and I plan to stick with them.

  • Enjoy it. - 2006 Ford Expedition

    This is a dream to drive. Just hate the fuel cost. I thought it would be too big for me, but it has been easy to maneuver.

    Too large side view mirrors create wind noise above 65 MPH. Poor quality of material. Plastic bumpers instead what it used to be. Poor quality of interior material. Steering is not anymore "lady friendly" like it use to be on 97 models. Lack of power(4.6 L/V8-2004 EB ). I drove car for 5 months and traded it for Armada...what a difference. I would not buy/recommend Expedition any more. People do know these days what quality is and sooner FORD leadership figures that out sales will go UP again or else.

  • Expedition Sport Owners Response.. - 2006 Ford Expedition
    By -

    The Expedition Sport is a nice truck for the price and creature comforts. I had a 2000 Explorer with the 5.0 and man, this 300hp 5.4 moves real good! The handling is good for a vehicle this size and I havent towed anything yet but it will come.

  • Disappointed - 2006 Ford Expedition
    By -

    Ford has dramatically lowered its standard and decreased its quality! The Expedition will look nice and all, but its mechanical build is just nonsense.

  • Love this SUV - 2006 Ford Expedition
    By -

    Same mileage as my Explorer, plenty of power and loads of room. I dont think that I will be able to go back to a mid-size SUV after this vehicle.

    I LOVE this vehicle. I hate the gas mileage but other than that, I adore this truck! We have searched many of the SUVs and this one is the best one for us.

    We purchased ours new and owned it for 10 years. Ive never loved a vehicle more. It rode smoothly, handled like it was on rails, rain, snow or shine. It had a lot of room to haul stuff on trips to the beach loaded with entire family. Had plenty of room for my 67" son. Front seats were very comfortable, middle and rear seats were adequate. I drove it in 2 ft of snow without any issues whatsoever. In fact, this truck was a snowmobile! The long wheelbase makes it incredibly stable, and the AWD feature was just fine for anything I got into. I truly LOVED this truck. Sadly we lost her last weekend. My son was in an accident where he hit a telephone pole and rolled it. He walked away with only bumps and bruises! The fact that its a large, solidly built truck saved his life. Mechanically, we had zero problems until just over 100K miles. It was time to change the plugs, and like others - we had 3 break off in the head. That cost $$$ to fix. Several of the catalytic converters went bad causing the check engine light to come on. Another expensive fix. We had to replace the coils after 100K miles too. We had the bubbling that others have mentioned in the paint along the leading edge of the hood and the tailgate. Frustrating because we kept it clean and waxed. The grey trim along the bottom of the truck faded but theres a liquid you can apply that makes it look brand new. The truck was gorgeous the whole time we owned it. I was so proud of it. The 5.4 engine had a ton of power and pulled our 21 boat with ease. I absolutely LOVED my Expedition and we are in the market for another one. Needless to say, I highly recommend it.

  • 5.4L has serious issues! - 2006 Ford Expedition
    By -

    Just look up the slew of problems with the 5.4L in this 2006. Apparently it has a lot of issues that Ford decided to hide from the public and failed to fix. There is a class action lawsuit on the spark plugs. Apparently, there are lots of other issues, including cam phase sensors. Mine started idling rough, wife drove it a couple of miles home, 2 hours later it was at the shop. The shop is about 1 mile away. Got the call today. It needs a new engine!!! Edit: We are now just waiting until the end of the year so we can donate it to charity. Its not even worth selling. Maybe I will get a small tax benefit out of it?

  • Junk - 2006 Ford Expedition
    By -

    Ford should be sued over this horrible product. The 5.4 3v is plagued with problems and wont do anything for the loyal customers to fix or replace vehicles.
