2012 Ford Expedition - The perfect, versatile family vehicle
My Ford Expedition is the perfect answer to our family's needs. Not only do we have kids, we also have extended family that we transport constantly. On a consistent basis, we transport two teenagers, one infant, four adults, one of which is wheelchair bound. Our Expedition can accommodate all of us, the stroller, and the wheelchair. After a bad car accident, I was very hesitant about owning another SUV, but after test driving our Expedition, I knew it was the perfect vehicle for anything that might come up in our lives, like our unexpected newest family addition. It has plenty of space and is comfortable for long road trips with plenty of cup holders for fast food cups. We can even fit our three dogs in the back!
Historia
Our last road trip to visit family included our three dogs, one of which is 145 lbs. Our big boy sat in the back with the luggage staring excitedly out the windows at the passing countryside until it was too dark to see.
A Favor
The teenagers love that they can plug in their ear buds and listen to a different station on the radio. This SUV has the durability of a truck, but drives like a car. It is so easy to back this vehicle using the combination of the side mirrors and the object notification device that we almost always back into parking spaces. The Expedition also has a sunroof, and the back windows also allow for venting, and in the Texas heat, it really helps to keep the vehicle cooler in the summer.
En Contra
The only thing I dislike about this vehicle is that the usb port does not charge our electronics very fast.
2002 Ford Expedition - A Great Expedition
The 2002 Ford Expedition is one of the best vehicles ever created by man kind. It comes in a lovely shade of navy blue, for your pleasure. It's a tall vehicle, which means the driver and his passengers ride high above the rest, like royalty on a throne. The seats are comfy, and the Expedition is spacious. There are a total of eight seats, two in the front, three in the middle, and three in the back. The last two rows can be folded to make space for any sort of cargo you'll carry. The car drives smoothly, and is fun to use. It makes a true statement to be seen in one.
Historia
I ate my first adult meal in this car. I had a Big Mac that day.
A Favor
The vehicle is large, spacey, and beautiful. There is a killer sound system included. It comes with a CD, Tape, and AUX docks. The vehicle is pretty big, so you feel like a king while driving it. There are plenty of cup holders. 3 In the front, 4 in the middle, and 2 in the back. There is a lot of storage room as well for your transportation needs.
En Contra
Some bad things about this vehicle include the cost of gas being very high. It's so nice people will want to be seen around it, and take pictures of themselves on your car's hood.
1999 Ford Expedition - It does the job okay so far.
This car is a car that does its most important job: it gets me where I need to go (most of the time). I didn't know how much I enjoyed the space an SUV like this afforded me until I owned one. I've rarely had issues with how it operates while driving, and I've had it get me out of some tough situations before (the 4-wheel-drive means I rarely get stuck). However, not everything lasts forever in this thing, numerous problems relating to age and wear have caused many features that came standard with this thing to stop functioning.
Historia
I got stuck on the side of a hill once, but I was able to eventually get out with 4WD. It was actually really fun. It drifts really well in mud, and I used to spend weekends basically turning it from black to brown doing donuts in the mud.
A Favor
It is large and comfortable. It can fit basically anything I need to fit inside. When it is driving, it is very smooth, and I don't have to worry about any kind of issue relating to that. Its turn radius, also, is very small for a vehicle of its size. When I drive in other SUVs, I have a difficult time turning around in those cars, because I am so used to how easy it is to maneuver my own.
En Contra
A lot of these are age related, but most extra features don't work in it anymore. The sunroof is stuck, the radio's display is dead, the windshield wipers in the back no longer work, the lining around some of the back doors has come unglued, as have some of the armrests. The gearshift is broken so that it doesn't land on the correct displayed gear anymore. A lot of little things, really. Oh, and this goes without saying, but compared to modern cars, it has terrible gas mileage.
