2003 Ford Expedition XLT Popular review from North America
"An overall great truck; worth buying"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tires.
Brakes.
CD player (mach) required replacing.
Absolutely nothing else!!!
General comments?
This is actually my mom's truck. We only buy Ford products. I have owned a Crown Victoria and now a Thunderbird.
But back to the truck. It has been amazingly reliable! Plenty of room for just about everything. It can pull a house.
My mother's vehicle is the XLT popular style. This style came with the better 6 disc sound system, fog lamps, running boards as well as the famous 5.4 liter V8. The gas on this thing is my only complaint. I know it is a large SUV, but there has to be some way to get these number up. Any suggestions?

Ford should have added more power to the truck from the moment this new style came out, and not two or three model years afterward.
Great truck if you can afford the gas.
