We have a 2004 that we use as a spare vehicle now. Wife drive a 2021 now. The 2004 has been flawless. Only thing we have ever done is break jobs tires and one alternator change the spark plugs twice at 100 thousand miles and change the coil packs once at 190 thousand miles. It got 292 thousand miles on it right now. Still run and drives great
Bro the brake lines is the only crap it brakes on that suv but besides that perfect family car whit kids
I just brought 2005 model and I was very skeptical about expeditions but I love it
Good to here, these aren't bad SUVs, yea I know the spark plug ejection problems with some of them and cam phaser issues, but these engine can be very reliable if maintained correctly. It offers handsome styling for a 15 year old truck, decent acceleration, good towing capability's with 4WD, 2WD is alright to, comfortable seats, VERY roomy, I'm 6'5 about 265 to 270 and I feel great in there, not to terrible MPG if you can keep your right foot off the gas to much lol, and somewhat good ride, at times it will ride like a truck since it's based off of one... But overall there really good trucks, especially for the price, 182k on mines and still going strong 💪🏽.
How is it?
@@HaloDaycare Me or him?
@@kellyoubrejr544 wow daddy oubre is into ford expeditions as well??? 😫😫😫
@@ParadoxTommy You know it 😏😉.
Nice truck. It's too bad they spoil you. You get used to having all that room/power/utility, but then replacing it in a few years will be like taking on a new mortgage.
mines 21 years old runs like a top no heat in the front and rear wiper works sometimes love it
Same issue here. There's a plastic hose under the hood. 1/4 inch. Passenger side. Had a small leak. 1 piece of tape took care of that. Look on utube. I paid $3000 for mine. Rust free southern truck. It's my hobby truck. 33 inch milestar patagonia tires. Got rid of the running boards. 2 inch lift. 14,000 lb winch. New paint sometime this year. Have fun.
I jus bought this same model (2004 1 owner), same color scheme, etc. For $3000 BUT I had to put 4 new tires, rear struts (jus went ahead and did the conversation kit instead the EXPENSIVE air struts), brakes and rotors. It has 143k miles on it. RUNS LIKE A BEAST!!!. MY NEXT steps will be replacements not repairs because she runs PERFECT!
@Will Will ask them if they've done ANY MAJOR work like suspension, any fluid changed (differential especially), Tranny flushes (not drains), timing belts, etc. If not, plan on doing it your self. Chances are for $1700, it will need more than just a power steering pump OR they jus wanna get rid of it.
Same here. I got lucky. No air ride. I'm putting a rancho 2 inch lift on mine.
I like the way you speak in this video. It kinda makes your channel stand out because you are adding personality to the way you speak. Im glad I got to watch this. Have a super awesome day!
2004 Expedition with the 4.6 2 valve 2wd Eddie Bauer. Just finished a 2200 mile summer trip in 7 days averaging 18mpg including through the mountains. 263k miles original engine & transmission.
How much did you spend on fuel?
Good question
I love my 06 she’s practically brand new. I would love to replace here with the new model. I just can’t bring my self to paying so much way to over priced from when I bought my first one.
2006 Expedition King Ranch 4x4 in excellent condition with 149,500 miles for $7995. Good deal my friend? It's the brownish color. Gorgeous.
Just bought an 05 with 290k with a brand new motor and trans. Still get sick when I see the mileage 😂 overall great suv
Any problems ?
i’m thinking of buying 03 with 204k miles lol i haven’t looked at it yet. But $1500 sounds good to me.
😁😁😁😁😁lmao 🤣 😂 😆
Yeah so true 👍 I've had a 2014 Ford f450 for my business but I was never just ok with looking at 315,*** miles, it is soooo sickening while I have a full new engine $transmission wheeew 😓!
But the point is the frame on the Ford Expedition, those are super comfy suv.
Just ignore it and keep driving It like you'd a new Suv.
Mine wastes alos of gas 😪
we have 2010 model with 420k miles on it we bought it used with fairly low mileage
Nice love my 1998 still
Great camera work
Thank you truely! I worked hard to give the angles etc...
Nice truck! great deal.
Grestings from Puerto Natales , Patagonia , Chile ...I own the Expedition Eddie Bauer , 5.4 V8 2000 model....and is great ¡¡¡¡¡
I think Ford should bring back the Eddie Bauer?
Mine has 224k and it’s still a beast it’s a 2003
I’m considering buying an 03 with 204k miles for $1500, is there anything i have to look out for?
How is gas?
ill still drive it no matter. what trucks like that will last for a longtime if you take care of it.
Just purchased a 2007 with 113k on the body and trans. Brand new motor in it with a full 3 year warranty including parts & labor. We did the same thing, wanted to get rid of a payment in the house. I’m hoping this will last. I’m a Chevy guy myself. Any recommendations on what to do? Was thinking about undercoating since I live in Buffalo. Might also make it look nice with a “raptor grill” and a 3 inch lift kit. Bought for 8k cash.
Good job
I bought an 05 4x4 XLT 128k miles for 5k but had to fork about 4k in repairs. 1.2k for A/C, 800 for brake pads + caliber + roter and 2k for new catalytic converters (I live in CA where cats are 🤮 expensive) did I get ripped off?
I dont think so because your guys cost of living out in california is much higher unfortunately. Now that you freshened everything up should run strong...
The brake work is maintenance not repair work
03/04 > 05/06
i hope yours don't got rocker panel rust under the doors mine is too far gone with rust there but other than that spot its rust free
Unfortunately yes that is happening to mine too. I was told its pretty common which is not reassuring.
I'm looking at buying the same year model, it has 74,000 miles. Do you think its a good buy?
Absolutely, stay on top of oil changes and your good
@@switchinglanes2663 what was the mileage when you purchased the 2006?
I pulled the side rails off mine. Put a set of milestar patagonia tires on it.
Settings -- Playback speed -- 1.5x. Saves a lot of time on this S-L-O-W-W-W video.
Nice!
Had a few 1st gens 2 5.4 and 1 4.6... both r nice love the 5.4. i want one same year about same price. Im looking at this or a explorer
I’m looking at an 05 now 159k miles ac blows but not cold anyone knows an around about what that would cost to repair? I’m guessing that’s the compressor? Please advise
Might just be low on freon, i have to refill my car like every month in the summer. Eventually I might get the leak fixed.
I’ve owned mine for less than 4 months and it has been nothing but a money pit. I have spent 2500 and cylinder four is now misfiring. I’m hoping I can get rid of it.
Did you buy one with the 5.4 3 valve engine?
@@Cruzinator4500 yes it was. I don’t have it anymore. I now own a 2013 Toyota Corolla S.
@@ashleyelliott0616 glad you have a more reliable vehicle now. I was thinking of getting a Ford Expedition, but didn’t have enough trust with that 5.4 3v engine. It’s a huge gamble.
The 4.6 2 valve is the way to go if you can find one.
I’m looking at one right now 04 expedition really clean with 127k miles for 6k obo what you think
Seems about right due to the used car market is up right now as well
Dude videos great thanks for the info but you gotta shave the Long sideburns things
Detroit here too man you still have yours? Mines identical to yours
How many miles did the Expedition have when you bought it? I’m currently looking at buy a used one same generation. Great video
It had about 139k, it's more than lasted beyond what we intended so we're happy.
Thanks brother. Very helpful
1:49 squirrel in the background!
I am looking at a Wisconsinite 2003 EB edition with 155k since I can’t find a Sequoia anywhere LOL 😂. Any common issues or things to look out for on the even older models? Still has the 5.4 Triton in it. Thanks y’all.
5.4l has the spark plug issues, 2004+ have cam phaser issues. Other than that they are solid. Check for rust especially under the rockers.
Still rocking my Expedition 2003 XLR Edition after almost two decades. Still running great!
Did anybody catch how many miles he said it had? When he first bought it
139k
The Triton 3-valve engine is not a plus.
I hear 5w20 valvolne full synthetic is the best oul
Hi I’m looking at one the same year but it has 200,000? Should I buy or no.
If its a decent price and runs strong it may be worth it
Great review brother. I subbed
I had that truck for six years then the transmission went out when you Chang the spark plugs be careful cause the break in the block you can do a little research on it
Good to know
Legos37 ya we did a hot engine and used Seafoam and got them all out they had 170,777 miles on them lol
Mine did the same. Nice trucks but different transmissions on the 05/06 compared to the 03/04. I want another one but can’t get that transmission going wrong out of my head. Had 146k when it went.
SQUIRREL: 1:51
Remember as these electric vehicles become normal the charging station will download everything that occurred inside and out side of said vehicle,,be warned
Can you put a cargo cover in the rear? I can do that on my explorer. But haven’t seen anyone comment on that.
I thought the same thing. Probably could us a dark moving blanket to keep prying eyes from seeing what is back there. Not sure if there are cargo tie-down loops but it would be wise to have some bungee cords or rope to keep items from being launched into the back of your head in the event of a sudden stop.
Ja
any updates?
Gonna do one should be coming soon
how many miles if u dont mind me asking?
Around 139k
@@switchinglanes2663 thanks! I’m thinking about getting one 1998 5.4 v8 156k miles. dealership price is 4.7 right now I’ll see if I can snag it for a bit lower (:
@@switchinglanes2663 That's pretty low mileage, I have 182k on mines, no issues... Except once, it would make a very loud grinding noise trying to start, but it went away which was odd and never came back... But the truck did have like 90k miles on it, and that's where issues of these trucks start developing if not maintained properly.
it actually sounds a bit over advanced
