The third row seating |
Least favorite feature: |
Driver's seat comfort. Feel like I am sitting in a hole. Makes my back sore. |
Advice to buyer: |
A must to test drive if you are in the market for a large SUV. Great track record and safety for your family! |
Detailed review: |
Unlike the Honda CR-V that I already own, this vehicle is larger and much more 'truck like' to drive. However, when driving for the first time I was very surprised with the ease of steering and control I had considering it was such a large SUV. Impressed! On the highway this thing is smooth and quiet, and on the backroads, which near my home are quite bumpy, this SUV handles like a champ and remains very smooth and amazingly quiet. Minimal vibrations and shaking are noted over rough road. I am now spoiled by the luxury and ride of my new Ford Expedition. My wife feels safer driving, I feel safer with the kids in it, and my vantage point while driving is great. The V8 engine provides the perfect amount of 'get up and go' for all of my travels. Gas mileage is adequate for such a large engine. (Higher Octane gas has provided me with more MPG).
The only drawback to my driving experiences is that the driver's seat is not supportive enough and that I didn't opt for the moonroof.
FORD has built a great product here. It is my first FORD, and so far I am thoroughly pleased. |
