The interior of the vehicle is great. Leather seats with both heating and cooling still working after 150K+ miles, front and rear A/C, seats are comfortable and the front seats are highly adjustable. Has enough power to get up and go and also enough power to tow. Accessibility to the back seat is OK, middle row edge seats lift up, and there is ample leg room in both the second and third row seats. Storage in back is great! Most of the time the Expedition only has about 12" behind the rear seat, but this one has four feet. Third row seat is split in a 2:1 setup, and we often put the single seat down and slid in a monster cooler.

Story
Drove from Wyoming to the Grand Canyon with five kids. It was roomy enough to not have constant fights and the seat adjustments helped my bad hip not be too binding when we got there.
Pros
Interior is well designed. Roomy and comfortable. Engine is powerful enough to either have some spunk or tow a small trailer.
Cons
The engine design was poor and most of these engines die between 100K to 150K miles.

2009 Ford Expedition EL - Does what I need.

The sun visor was better on the Explorer I owned. I liked the instrument arrangement better on the Explorer, and the ignition key position was better.
Story
We had seven adult passengers not including the driver. Gas mileage didn't seem to change, and everyone had room. They all liked the ride.
Pros
More powerful engine, six-speed transmission, and more room for passengers. Got about the same gas mileage as the Explorer.
