1998 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer review from North America
"Great vehicle if you need a lot of room, comfortable, reliable, low MPG"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spark plug shot out of the head. Just out of warranty so dealer put me on a program where I only payed part of the cost. Head had to be replaced. Could have probably used a heal-a-coil if dealer did not step up.
Otherwise, very reliable.
General comments?
Very roomy and comfortable on long trips. Excellent off road, this unit had factor air suspension and LSD differential. Engine power was marginal, had to get into the very high RPM's to get much power. Averaged 12.5 MPG in mixed driving. Vehicle did not track very well on the highway, even with new premium michelin tires and font end allignment.
