Ford Expedition
Model Overview
The Ford Expedition stands out in the large SUV field for several reasons, but mainly because of the blue oval badge on its grille. A 2018 redesign brought new levels of style and technology and carried forward a turbo V6 that bucks the class's V8 trend without sacrificing performance or capability. The Expedition is large, but offers useful space in three rows of seats, along with numerous high-tech options.

Wonderful vehicle for a family
November 22, 2017
Overall Score
The Expedition doesn't ride like a truck, it is smooth and has a very sporty feel to it. Loaded with every feature imaginable, you will never wonder why it didn't come with any particular option.
Extremely reliable SUV throughout Canadian winters. I personally never bothered to plug my heater plug in and never had any issues with an immediate smooth start.
No shortage of power, pull and pure strength while providing every possible need for the entire family.

On certain vehicles, Ford has issued a scheduled maintenance guide update which specifies that every 20 000 kms, the steering linkage, which includes tie-rod ends, should be inspected. The vehicle owner is asked to place the tie-rod end inspection procedure supplied with this maintenance guide update in the vehicle's glove box for reference and safekeeping. The vehicle owner is to provide the inspection procedure to their repair facility to help properly identify worn tie-rod ends. Performing the vehicle scheduled maintenance, including maintenance inspections, is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. Failure to replace worn tie-rod ends may eventually result in a tie-rod end separation that could adversely affect steering control. If the inspection reveals that a tie-rod end is worn and must be replaced, the repair will be at the owner's expense unless the vehicle is still covered by the basic vehicle warranty, or has an extended service plan coverage that includes these components.

Certain passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, and light and medium duty pickup trucks. A switch located in the plastic cover of the wiper motor gear case could malfunction and overheat, potentially resulting in loss of intermittent wiper function, loss of wiper park function, complete loss of wiper function, smoke or, potentially, ignition of the plastic cover material. Switch malfunction is most likely to occur when the intermittent setting of the wipers is being used, or when snow or ice obstructs the blades from returning to the "parked" position at the bottom of the windshield. Loss of visibility while driving increases the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the date code on the wiper motor.
