1998 Ford Expedition 4 Dr Eddie Bauer SUV Review
ProsRoomy, seats as comfy as my home sofa,excellent for comfort on long trips, awesomely powerful engine, yet quiet running. This bird flies effortlessly! By driving smoothly in city and on highway, I get 14.5 mpg consistently, sometimes 15 mpg which is not bad for such a powerhouse engine. 166K miles on it now and still going strong. 2 bucket seats, 1 full bench seat seats 3 large adults comfortably, 3rd bench seat seats 3 children or young adults or 2 large adults. Leather interior looks great, easy to keep clean. Front and rear A/C, excellent sound system including 6 CD changer and cassette player, front and rear controls, front and back extra power jacks for plugging in accessories. Cons14.5 mpg - with current gas prices it is a little pricey to fill up the huge tank. Quiet, powerful and smooth acceleration so it's very easy to exceed the speed limit without realizing it!

Superior Comfort And Power. I Love This Vehicle! — We love this vehicle, and feel totally spoiled by its comfort, particularly on long trips. Reaches highway speed effortlessly and quietly. We have never needed a major repair, and it is at 166K; mechanic says the Triton engine is one of the best models ever made and it should go much, much farther without needing anything but routine maintenance. By driving it smoothly I routinely get 14.5 mpg in the city, 14.5 to 15 highway, even when driving 70-75 mpg. Superior in so many ways we are afraid to ever sell it, for fear we won't find another vehicle built so well! Absolutely recommend this vehicle for dependability, power and comfort. Primary Use: Family transportation

Overall Worth The Money And Proves Why These Things Still Retail At 8-10k — Had this old boy going on 9 years now and i have waited that long to write a review. You dont know a car from a month of driving it. That being said while it does drink a bit of gas this vehicle is wonderful. We have put 267,000 miles on our with no problems.

Prospower, stereo, sturdy build, fun to drive Consdrivers door electric, not so good gas mileage

Big, Handsome And Hard To Get. (from Internetautoguide.com) — The only problems that really come up at all are the gas mileage (12-13) and for some reason most Expeditions have electrical issues with the drivers door. When you shut the door sometimes it doesn't register that it is shut, but other then that nothin. It pulls everything I need it to and you can hardly feel it. I love it. | ||

Pros3rd row fits our family fairly well. Towing package is useful at times. Somewhat large interior. ConsPoor gas mileage. Hard to maneuver at times since it's a full size SUV.

Decent Full Size Suv With Poor Gas Mileage — This full size SUV has been decent for our family for the past six months. However, it has poor gas mileage with the 5.4L V8 engine and it's hard to maneuver in tight spaces and parking lots sometimes due to it's size. Overall it has been a nice vehicle although it has poor gas mileage. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Expeditition Is A Great Vehicle. — I love this car. Its old, but still looks good. In 12 years, I have only had minor repairs to be done. Major repair included a leaking oil pan and something else was leaking near the transmission that I had to have fixed, which they needed to take out the transmission to get to. | ||

ProsGood performance, 4WD is great in snow ride is comfortable, body is still solid and shows no signs of rust. Quality vehicle!! ConsFuel Economy is tough - 11mpg all around (has towing package and tow axle ratio)

Good For Alot Of People, Towing, And Carrying Alot Of Stuff,, — I've had this Expedition since it was new (1997) and it has been a good vehicle although it has been relegated to winter/towing/special uses in favor of a more fuel efficient car. With 102,000 miles on it right now (Feb. 2012), it will remain in my stable of autos, as, when it's cleaned up and polished, still looks like new, and still drives well. In essence, whenever I need 4WD in the future, my Expedition will be there !! Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) | ||

Price Is Right In Line With Book Value! — Fantastic Ford SUV built solid, yet with extreme comfort. Air ride suspension makes this truck feel like a passenger car. Very nice condition inside and out. Seating capacity for eight comfortable passengers. Triton 4.6L V-8 engine, 2 wheel drive, and many extra features! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

1998 Ford Expedition Xlt — Best vehicle I've ever owned. Outstanding reliabilty and performance. With today's higher gas prices it has become less economical to drive. It can handle all the needs of a family. Hauls the family, appliances, boats and pets effortlessly. Great vehicle for the money. Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) | ||

ProsMinnesota snow storms ConsI didn't do my homework on all the problems with 1998

Nice To Look At But That's It — Came from a Toyota Corolla of 11 years. Bought her used for $3,800 and she is in excellent interior and exterior condition. I enjoy driving her in the Minnesota snow storms, but did manage to make it through the winter seasons and all the neighborhood hockey kids with my Toyota. Disappointed that I have some many problems and I just bought the truck used 2 weeks ago. Replaced starter, need to replace spark plug, need to replace serpenting belt, heat does not work, oil and coolant indicator are on. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
