2008 Ford Expedition User Reviews

Pros

Comfortable, rich, elegant, and fun to drive, nimble & maneuverable

Cons

Rearview camera location, new center compartment, plain exterior

Replaced a 2003 Expy with this 2008 flavor. Wrangled between a Tahoe and the Expy for awhile before finally choosing the Expy based on the power folding 3rd row, a feature I loved in my old Expy. I haven't been disappointed. Ordered it in Jan, picked it up in Mar, and I only have about 8,000 miles on it so far but it has performed beautifully.

I'd suggest moving the rear-view camera from the r/v mirror to the GPS screen like the Tahoe. It is cool on the r/v (especially when it appears & disappears) but it's almost too small to be useful. It was a valiant effort probably based on the assumption that people would be looking in the r/v mirror anyway when backing up so that would be a great place to put it. However, the screen size matters more in my opinion.

Also, please give me back the old center compartment. The new one looks the same on the outside but the inside seems to be half the size of the old one. The compartment has also been shifted back in some fashion such that it's much harder to use without fighting the lid with your arm and elbow.

Finally, stop making me acknowledge the GPS warning screen every time I select the GPS function - probably a law or safety regulation but what a pain in the neck.

Minor flaws. The truck is great. It's vastly improved from my last version and I'm glad I bought it.
