Vehicle Highlights

The smaller of Ford's full-size SUVs. Design shared with Lincoln Navigator. Expedition is available with buckets or a bench front seat. Three-passenger 2nd- and 3rd-row benches are standard, 2nd-row buckets are optional. Power adjustable gas and brake pedals are standard. Available engines are V8s of 4.6 or 5.4 liters, teamed only with automatic transmission. Expedition is offered with rear-wheel drive or Ford's Control Trac 4WD that can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing. ABS is standard. Front side airbags are optional. A rear-seat video entertainment system is available.

COMPETITION

Though this segment has cooled somewhat with the rise in fuel prices, it's still one of the hottest. Our Best Buys include the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Expedition, and GMC Yukon. We love the size, comfort, and power of these big SUVs. The GM models get the nod in overall ratings, but shop and compare both before you buy.

For a few more bucks you can get the Recommended Toyota Land Cruiser. Its high price is the only thing holding back this refined and drivable SUV.
