I bought this vehicle used in 2005. It was an upgrade over my 1997 Explorer Eddie Bauer. The previous owner added a few after market upgrades: DVD player, 3 TVs, remote starter.
The vehicle overall has been completly reliable, knock on wood, no major repair issues at all. There was cosmetic issues with the area around the Ford symbol on the back door under the window. Some how water leaks into the area and causes rust. Thankfully it was covered under the warranty and replaced at Fords cost. The only other issue is the lack of coverage provided by the navigation system. If you are looking at this vehicle with the GPS you will need a GPS upgrade. The overall performance of the vehicle is great, the ride is smooth, and the vehicle manuevers very well for its size. At about 14mpg its not winning any environmental awards but it get 400 miles to a full tank. The Eddie Bauer is very nicely designed with the two color body (green on top, tan on the bottom) The factory rims are nice and easy to clean.
Overall I would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a large SUV, its cargo capacity and passenger room are great.
Highly recommend! Source: eBay Motors Reviews |
2000 Ford Expedition: Excellent!!! This is an amazing vehicle. It not only rides extremely comfortable, but for its size is suprisingly nimble and gas efficient. I am not saying you are going to get the mileage of a Prius, but it is better then you would expect for a vehicle this size. Plus you get a lot more room then you would in a small, gas efficient car. I have not had any problems with any Ford I have owned, so I am either lucky or they really do build a quality product. I highly recommend the Expedition. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |

Well, i've owned my Expedition for about 6 years. It's a 2000 model, 4x4 XLT. I bought it in Alaska, drove down the Alacan with a trailer, put about 70,000 miles on it and the only thing thats ever quit in all that time is 1 alternator (the replacement was faulty) and the #1 ignitor. Thats it! If you want dependible, this is the epitome of dependible. The 4.6L v8 is the same motor police cruisers use (except under-built for longevity) I've used it to pull out my jeep when it got stuck feet deep in mud, i've used it to right rolled vehicles, i've pulled cars out of snowbanks, I've driven home in blizzards, i've caravaned in tornados. I've trailered my cherokee behind it, and I've even driven it from the Alaskan Pacific to the Florida Gulf. After all these years, the undercarrage seal is starting to need to be replaced, the door seals are getting all goofy and need to be replaced and some of the paint is starting to wear (esp. around the wacky door seals). I figure a little touchup, another oil change and some TLC and it'll be ready for another 70,000 miles.
The Undercarrage is still rust free, the motor compartment is clean, oil free. The A/C needs to be re-charged but it still blows semi-cold air. The heater blows super hot, the remote start still works great even! Just one more reason why i'll keep buying Ford - The company that doesn't ask for your tax dollars! Source: eBay Motors Reviews |
