1999 Ford Expedition XLT review from North America
"Definitely a great family utility vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air Intake Sensor needed replacing (80,000 miles) at US$400.
Rear Wiper System (motor/controller) replaced at US$300.
Head Gasket at 1,000 miles, still good at 100,000. Warranty covered.
General comments?
Auto has excellent power train characteristics, the tranny is top notch matched to the 5.4L Engine.
I have done lots of towing with this vehicle of both a 4,000 lb. travel trailer and a 2,500 lb. boat.
The comfort level, stereo, air and heater and overall utility of the vehicle are outstanding.
Brakes have lasted fairly well (40k miles) considering the abuse I give them.
4WD system is excellent and still functioning well.
