I was in need of third-row seating. We have two young kids and are always running here and there and going places with family. It was always such a pain to have to jockey car seats around or take two vehicles. Not any more. This SUV does everything I need it to do and then some. I can haul my kids and my livestock around in this thing. Not to mention the ability to pull my 14' livestock trailer with ease.

I have over 100k miles on it and it's doing great. Lots of people report getting over 200k on these trucks and haven't even changed the spark plugs. I regularly do all the maintenance suggested in the manual. I've put tires and brakes on it. Recently I replaced the rotors. I live in Ohio and the salt gets them. I had an Explorer but couldn't fit my Mastiffs in the back so I got the bigger one. I feel safe in it because I can see way ahead going at high speeds on the interstates. With all the drinking and driving, texting and driving, talking on the phone and driving, I feel defensive driving is more necessary than ever. Add all the distracted drivers to bad weather and you really need a tank and the Expedition is it!
