Stretching more than 17 feet from nose to tail, the Expedition is certainly no compact. And there's no way to
disguise that. GM's Suburban is even longer, adding a foot-and-a-half to the total. Ford touts the Expedition's
shorter length as a benefit when trying to fit into a garage. (However, Ford is working on an even bigger rig to
compete with the Suburban.) It's true that an Expedition will fit into some garages that are too small for a Suburban,
but check yours to be sure as garage sizes vary.
Two trim levels, XLT and Eddie Bauer, make up the Expedition model range. With little demand for plain, entry-level
vehicle in this class, Ford equips the XLT well and the Eddie Bauer even better. Differences between XLT and Eddie
Bauer are confined to paint and trim. And even these distinctions can be blurred by checking off items from a long
list of optional equipment.
The Expedition derives much of its chassis and mechanical hardware from Ford's F-150 pickup and all Expeditions are available with two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Next Page
