2007 Ford Expedition

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Ford Expedition?
Quality of the Eddie Bauer package, interior, electronics, road performance, reliability all really lovely. Love the lumbar supports in driver and front passenger seats.

This is our second Expedition in 11 years. Before buying our first Expedition, new, in 2000, other drivers treated our Mustang and even our Cadillac as though they had bullseyes painted on them. We have been hit 7 times in Bay County, ALL while fully stopped and waiting for the light to change.

Since 2000, we discovered that NOBODY deliberately drives in a stupid manner either cutting in ahead of or following too close behind, rear-ending, broad-siding from a lane going the other way (that driver actually told the police that she was watching a double rainbow instead of the road, when she rammed our Cadillac)! Motorists see the big Expeditions and don't mess with them. Despite the gas expense, it is worth not getting clobbered by yet one more moron and getting injured!

In bad weather, snow and ice, the Expedition is outstanding! We sit high enough to see what's ahead of other cars to avoid problems and we have every confidence, as do our waiting families, that we will reach our destination safely.

Expeditions are great to own and drive.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Ford Expedition?
Unlike in the 2000 Expedition, the 2007 Expedition headrest is pitched way too far forward for comfort, forcing he driver's and front passenger's chins closer to the chest, and making it very difficult to clearly see the road while driving. This design is only comfortable for big men. Women, almost uniformly, find the headrest very uncomfortable and their vision compromised if they lean into it.

The 2007 design includes electric fold-down 3rd seats which are great. However, as a result of the design and (guessing) need for extra support, the 2007 rear windows have big pillar supports on each side, creating huge blind spots that the 2000 Expedition never had. Ford designers failed to compensate for this by not providing an extended interior rear view mirror to see around these blind spots, either as standard equipment or as an after-purchase option, but they should have. The same length mirror as in the 2000 model, is in the 2007 even with its big blind spots. For safest vision in the 2007, it may be wise to buy a clip-on 15" mirror to see around the blind spots.

Lastly, unlike the 2000, the newer Expeditions, we learned, yesterday, have alternators that wear out quickly and Ford only offers a 1 year warranty instead of lifetime, (unlike other makes), on the replacement. My 2000 never needed the first one replaced, even at 160,000 miles. We have less than 40,000 on the 2007, and the alternator is shot. It is a costly replacement. If they hope to please the customers, Ford engineers need to return to the old alternator design, asap! In fact, a factory recall for this would be marvelous!

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Ford Expedition?
No other SUV I have tested gives the driver the same commanding feel. Very firm and reassuring drive. Hardly any road noise and feels a lot less flappy on bumps than the Suburban.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Ford Expedition?
I really felt the drivers seat was a little short in the length i.e. with the back rest adjusted properly I felt I could do with an extra 2 inches of seat under my thighs.
Acceleration from standstill was a tad sluggish compared to the Explorer 2006 I have now. But once at speed it was very quiet and nippy on the highway for its size.
