Last a long time and is still in great shape looks good and is sharp

The Ford Expedition is a reliable car/van that has gone 215,000 miles without a failure NS CONTINUES TO OPERATE EFFICIENTLY AND ECONOMICALLY

Laura C

This is my second favorite car ever. It's so easy to drive.

Large enough for a big family without the huge van feel to it. Homey enough for kids and a dog to be comfortable in transit and easy to drive.

Tiffany J

That it lasts over 10 years.

I love how big it is. It gives lots of space and it rides smooth. I have 2 of the same car. The only thing I dislike is the amount of gas I have to put in.

Megan C

That it will get you back and front to way you need to be at.

Get me back and front to work and to A to B. It just don't have either room for my family I am looking for a 3 seat truck so it can hold my little family and gas save.

Lacey V

Amazing and works good n easy to repair.

I love my vehicle because of all the room it has its 3 rows and the 2nd and 3rd rows come out for more space. The seats are comfortable and the foot space is amazing. It also has room to store things. And also has 4x4 and worse very well so we can also have fun without getting stuck.

Tina S

I love to drive the car. It is a SUV but feels more like truck with perks.

Very reliable and easy to drive. It is unbelievably comfortable and a very smooth ride. There are big seats with lots of legroom. Third row seats can be removed for more hatch room. It's a great family car with a top rack for extras on a trip. My kids and grandkids love the room so they can have fun and relax and sleep without bothering others. There are front and back air controls and radio controls.

Great family vehicle! I love it!

I love my expedition! My family fits quite comfortably in it. I have 4 kids. I drive very smooth. My only issue with it is that my back windshield wiper doesn't work. The only work that I have had to put into it has been purely upkeep maintenance, oil changes and brakes.

Stephanie G

The comfort of my 2002 Ford expedition.

I have not had any problems with the truck. It has been very reliable. The size is perfect for family oriented people and people who loves to travel and shop. It is stylish and sporty but yet has a touch of luxury. The seating is comfortable for long rides. It has an ease for people with arthritis to get in and out with no problems.

Negative Owner Reviews

Krystal R

The seats tear easily. So I would suggest seat covers.

I like that it's spacious. But I don't like that everything seems to break fast. It has no a.c.

Jennifer J

I love my Ford expedition

I have had my 2002 ford expedition for 2 years now and it finally reached 200,000 mile Mark but it still runs and drives great. Everything powered still works and it's great on gas. Very roomy and lots of space. For traveling or even camping. I love my Ford. And all the family memories we shared in it

David S

Strong / reliable / nice to drive.

Air suspension and air condition have both been problems so far. Fuel consumption has also been a hassle when gas gets to near $3.00 a gallon. The ride is smooth as ever, I still do not mind going out for a ride on a nice day in the country. The space is also nice for road trips.

John A

Not reliable . Rust bucket . Don't buy . No good investment

Junk vehicle. Everything breaks. Gas guzzler. High maintenance

Kristen M

2002 Ford expedition highlights review and problems.

Very comfortable for a family of 5. Has a lot of room but could use more storage. Expensive on gas and the digital mileage meter does not seem to keep up or is not accurate. On my expedition the front end has a problem which eats up my tires. Is a long vehicle.

Justin O

The A/C doesn't work very well.

It's kind of old so doesn't run very well, but it does what I need it to.

Marisa C

The smooth riding expedition.

It has ice cold air conditioning strong engine all power windows seats doors but the air ride in the back has gone out and makes it for a very rough ride. Plus it needs an o2 sensor. They are inexpensive to fix and when they are fixed it runs like a dream or a luxury vehicle.

chad V

It's a good family car especially if you have large pets.

The size on the inside is very nice. It feels safe on the road and doesn't give me a lot of problems. I don't like how it doesn't get very good gas mileage.

That its built tuff and will provide a nice car ride.

I like that it's big enough for my family. I dislike the amount of room in the back and how much space the 3rd row takes when not in use.

Linda D on March 17, 2021

Ford Reliable, low maintenance

Very reliable, has $250,000 + miles, sensors are going out on it 1 by 1, but with the mileage, it's been a great car We put 1 complete set of brakes on it with 2 new rotors. We are showing signs of needing new brakes again. The oil and filter has been changed at least every 3,000 miles. It has been a wonder all purpose vehicle and are hoping to put another 50,000 miles on it. Every Ford we have ever owned, we bought used and drove it well over 100,000 miles
