1999 Ford Expedition XLT review from North America
"A quiet comfortable ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
HORN ASSEMBLY WENT AT 33000 MILES
DOOR LOCK ROD FELL INTO DOOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS GO ON BY THEMSELVES.
These problems were all fixed by Ford
Dealership on warranty. So I still think the car is no lemon.
I have not had anything else go wrong with this vehicle.
Dealership was fast to fix all the quirks and have had good riding. The vehicle has pulled a motorcycle and trailer to Florida and also on the mountains of Pennsylvania and Virginia.
It has good pulling ability and good on gas for its size.
The ride is comfortable and quiet. No rattles at all.
It's a bit challenging to get into and out, even with running boards. Not for elderly.
The expedition steering is easy and the view from windshield is large and side windows are accommodating for viewing.
I found that comfort in driving during long trips added to pleasurable driving.
Extra cup holders and lumbar support was also a plus. Interior held up and paint too. For a 1999 I still have people think I just bought a new SUV.
