2008 Ford Expedition XLT 4X2

Pros

good fuel,fun to drive,nimble

Cons

plastic smell

Bought in July 08 drove it from texas to oregon via all mountains. Averaged 22.5 over all. excellant at higher altitude. In states like Oregon with 55 mph speed limit vehicle idled down the road at 1250 rpm and was getting 24 to 26 mpg. I work for Ford as a Test driver and Transit driver (deliver new vehicle from factory by driving them) I get to drive all. By far the expedition is best over all. Second only to Super Duty F350 diesel. I am 61 years old....read morehide

Pros

space, comfort, and ride was great

On average my wife gets about 18 MPG in town and 21 MPG on the highway. Not alot of stop and go but perfect for a family of 6....read morehide

Pros

Beautiful, comfortable, quiet

Cons

Nothing

The only thing that could be considered a "con" is the 14.9 MPG, but if that was something I considered a deal-breaker, I wouldn't have looked at SUV's. That said, I traded my 2000 Expedition for a 2006 Explorer in October 2006. While I loved my Explorer, I really missed the roomy interior that the Expedition has. Three weeks ago, we traded it for a 2008 Expedition and I love, love, love everything about it. It is extremely quiet, even at high speeds. It has interior room that surpasses even the Suburban. It is big and beautiful, and commands attention and respect on the road. I have never loved a vehicle as much as this one, hands down....read morehide
