Description

This review was written in January 2007 about the Limited 5.4L 4x4 version of the 2007 Ford Expedition. Little of substance has changed with this year's model. To see what details are different this year, check out a side-by-side comparison of the two model years. Somewhat lost in anticipation of Ford's new Edge crossover is the fact that the automaker has redesigned the Expedition, its full-size SUV and onetime cash cow. While the big news (literally) may be the new extended-length version dubbed EL, Ford's core regular-length Expedition gets new styling inside and out, a new six-speed automatic transmission and chassis modifications. The net effect is a full-size SUV that delivers a driving experience that rivals ? and in some ways bests ? that of Chevrolet's redesigned Tahoe. That's high praise, and aside from spongy brake pedal feel, the Expedition offers poise and refinement that are truly world-class for a big SUV.
