Broke the Japanese stronghold on the premium SUV market, the Ford Expedition demands respect, and it does. It was a lot of metal for the buck back then, and the case is the same now. Petrol costs will surely drain your resources, but this one actually rides better than the newer Exped. Of course, the plush ride trades off on handling.
Makes a great pre-owned buy.
Assuming you're willing to swallow the gas bills.
