When I purchased my expedition a deciding factor was the space in the truck for traveling and the leg room in all seats. A added bonus was the built-in dvd player and navigation system. I love the temp control in the driver and passenger front seat have really been nice this winter. The color was also nice since I haven't seen a lot of rust color expedition on the road. When I got truck I was driving a Yukon xl and I felt I there was a lot of blind spots in that truck which I didn't get that in the ford.
