This Expedition has exceeded my expectations and has been a great vehicle for towing my boat. I have owned it for 6 or 7 years. But have moved down to a smaller car. I have put the following improvements on the truck since Ive had it; the A/C system blows cold air , the compressor and the evap . were replaced with New. The transmission Transfer Case was completely redone (at a cost of $1400 dollars). The ignition coils were replaced not long ago. New starter , new alternator. New battery. This engine runs very smooth. There is no hesitant acceleration at all. Has the pep of a much newer and lower milage truck. The driveshaft is New along with the U -joints($700). I had some tie rods replaced to improve the steering. Power steering works great. I have changed all the brakes in the last 2 or three years. A New wiper motor assembly was put in when I got it. The tires are good and a couple were replaced this year. This is a great truck for someone local in South Florida that needs a truck to tow their boat with or for working with a lot of tools. Its great for short or long distance traveling as Ive done both. Cruise control works great. It has the leather seats with the heated seat warmers. The interior is a little worn but it cleans up well. 3rd row seating is a plus for a larger family, it seats 7. It has a 6 disc cd changer. the three things that dont work are ; 1) The A/C only blows out of the defroster and the upper vents. I think its a bad diverter, no big deal still cools great. 2) Driver side door key-lock mechanism was punched out by a hoodlum , but the lock still works and unlocks with a pin-pad code on the door. Again no big deal to fix and its been this way for 4 years now. The left hand door behind the driver side lock does not respond with the power locks. But it works manually just fine. There are a couple areas of rust on the bottom of the doors. but Its been that way since I got it and it doesnt affect anything accept the appearance. A body shop could fix it for a couple hundred bucks if you rear wanted it to look perfect. There have been new brake lines installed recently, and it also has a tow package.
