1998 Ford Expedition XLT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There have been two recalls, relatively minor. One was to replace a cable in the transmission, and the other to tighten and replace the lugnuts, both done in less than 15 minutes.
General comments?
This SUV is reliable, pretty and is fun to drive. You recieve a lot of enviable stares, constant comments and everyone on the road excluding Semi's moves out of your way. With the Trailer tow package you get huge tires that look like they could drive right over other other cars. Although super expensive to buy, if you lease for a term of 2 years, payments are low due to the high residule on the car. My lease payments are lower than a previous $21,000 Windstar that I had even though the Expedition's price was nearer to $40,000.
