What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2005 Ford Expedition are quite satisfied with their vehicles. They particularly appreciate the spaciousness, comfort, towing capacity, and overall reliability of the SUV. However, many drivers have expressed concerns about fuel economy, noting the high gas costs, which can be a downside for some. Despite this, the Expedition is often seen as a strong contender in its class for families and those needing extra room."
Best SUV I ever had. Best value, great reliability, very comfortable, great for towing too. The lowest cost/mile over all.

October 20, 2011Great SUV. VERY comfortable and could tow a house if you could figure out how to attach it. I guess for the size, the mileage is not that bad... 13 town and 18 highway. It was better before I was forced to buy 10% Ethanol That seems to be the biggest joke on the American motorist ever perpetrated. Cuts the mileage by 10% also. This has made corn product go higher in the process. When are we going to go to hydrogen? Burn water! I have read articles on this car and they seem to find things wrong with it that I don't. I think a lot of the problems people have are from their own doing. Routine maintenance is big in my book. Most people do not pay attention as long as their car starts when they get in it. I usually get 180k-250k miles on my cars before I get rid of them and they still run and look good. This is not a sport car so I didn't expect high performance from it. It has no problem keeping up with traffic and I am happy. I think it is well built and good looking for what it is.

January 3, 2011Great all around SUV, acceleration is OK, it handles very well on and off road. Drove it successfully in the dessert and in snow storms, interior is spacious and comfortable. Gas mileage sucks but who cares!!! Exterior looks great, engine is relatively powerfull and basically it delivers. I recommend this car
July 23, 2008Great heavy duty vehicle capable of getting around everywhere
August 27, 2023Base on internet reviews and Ford multiple engines and transmissions problems. Buying any Ford Expedition to me is a big risk in the long run.
February 20, 2021The Ford Expedition is a wonderful family car. It's cargo space is great for traveling, camping, and every day use. Our only dislike was the MPG. Now that gas prices have decreased, even that is a non-issue. Great family vehicle!
April 12, 2015Great car except it is expensive to drive. Fuel cost for in town driving excessive. Highway driving is not bad as long as you stay out of the pedal. This vehicle has plenty of room for 8 people or a large family. It is also good for pulling trailers.
January 11, 2014The only thing wrong with the expo is that it only gets 11 miles to the gallon. But you pay for what get, its a great car. I've taken it off roading in a blizzard, never even came close to getting stuck.
November 11, 2009I have a 2005 expedition xlt sport I have not had 1 problem with it since I purchased it in 05. I did add a k&n air cold air system and hypertech power programer to it. I pull a 6,000 pd camper. Those 2 items increased my hp to 335. On turnpike with cruise set @ 70 mph I am now getting 19.5 to 20 mpg. City still around 14.5 mpg. Not to bad for a 3 ton vehicle. I just ordered a 2008 EL Limited.
