Great ride for a few or the whole crew!
I love the reliability of the ford expedition. The 3rd row seat with 2nd row captains chairs makes it a great vehicle for a family or one who likes to drive their friends around. Comfortably seats 7. Smooth ride that will easily last you hundreds of thousands of miles.

Great family travel travel car.
It's a great car with lots of room. The engine is great. The cars runs smooth and its luxurious. I like the extra row of seats and how you can put seats down. The car can seat 8 people comfortable and lots of plugs for phones and a built in DVD player. The mileage is good on gas and tires are great.

This is a great family vehicle
Our Expedition is a great family car. We can fit our large family comfortably in the car for all trips, including luggage as needed. This vehicle has navigation, backup-camera and blind spot alerts that are helpful for driving a large vehicle. It does not have a TV for back seat viewing, which was the only downside we found when considering purchase.

I have no complaints about my vehicle. I very much love the make and model.
It's dependable and gives good mileage, and is suitable for a large family

About the Ford Expedition
Great vehicle for families. Vehicle is very roomy in the back with 2 additional rows for guest. Very comfortable and drives smoothly. There were no problems or issues with the vehicle this far. Love the backup camera feature it has really helped out.
accountCircle Olivia S
Apple CarPlay provides a great hands free option.
I love my expedition. It rides smooth and has a great turning radius. There is great cup storage for a family road trip. I also love the number of USB adaptors available for charging electronics. The third row is easily accessible. I do wish storage behind the third row was better. The back space is huge when only using the 2nd row.
accountCircle Elizabeth B
It feels luxurious. I don't feel like I've skimped on features.
It's new. I like sitting up higher and the available space inside.
accountCircle Kevin B
The space for kids and luggage is exceptional!
Exposition is an excellent vehicle for daytime-to-day use and long trips. Drive daily to work, and driven to vat, Fl for vacations. Wonderful space.

2016 Expedition, Ford has a problem with throttle bodies. Mine went out at 36,000 miles. Back up camera went bad at 35,600. Ford dealer repaired under warranty. Camera went out in three months again. Ford or the dealer would fix it for $950.00. Bought camera on Amazon for $180.00 & put in myself. Ford knows the problem but keeps using same parts.

It was enough space for me and my kids to travel as well as be comfortable.
For the most part it served it is purpose. I purchased it back when my children was active in sports, a lot of friendly group outings, and a lot of traveling. I have had to replace the transmission, and a couple minor fixes. I say that it has stood the test of time.
accountCircle Stephanie C
It is reliable and comfortable with a good amount of space for passengers.
I like my expedition it is reliable and sears my family of five comfortably. I think there could be in car entertainment for even more comfort. I also think that in car headphones would be a great feature. Overall it is a good car and I would purchase another one.

Holds a big family and allows for safe travel.
I love the ride and the room it provides my family but I don't like that I have already had to change my tail lights
accountCircle Kace M
Above average vehicle at a great price point. Good family vehicle.
There is a recurring problem with bad rotors and tires/brake pads that wear out too quickly. Good handling and gas mileage. Satisfied overall. The vehicle is very comfortable and well appointed. It has great acceleration and above average in terms of its overall quality. I would absolutely buy this vehicle again.
accountCircle Veronica G
It have a lot of room for us.
I like my car because I have enough room for my children and they don't have to be all over each other I had to put tires on my truck and brakes I full up once a week and I get good miles on my gas and my kids plays sport and it's enough room for their stuff haven't had any more problem with my truck its white and we do our best to keep it clean.
accountCircle Erin F
My vehicle is great for functionality, but it's not luxury.
I like the extended length. It has a big engine and is great in the snow. We can fit the whole family and pets and luggage for a road trip as well. But my Sirius satellite radio constantly cuts out and it doesn't have some of the bells and whistles that I'd expect a car this expensive to have. Mostly, I wish it had blind spot sensors and lights. A car this size would really benefit from that.
accountCircle Dawn W
Does size matter? It does for me.
I do not like the fact that it is a gas guzzler. It is also having transmission problems and it stalls quite often. I had an explorer prior to this and enjoy the smaller frame of the explorer. I don't want an SUV as big as the expedition because it is terrible on gas mileage. I do feel safe in it.

We love our roomy expedition!
Super roomy, perfect for our family with growing teen boys. We love the leather seats, always get leather! Heated seats are amazing! We love the trunk space and extra seating. My 6 ft 13 year old is also very appreciative of the headroom and legroom in the back seat. There is enough room in the back seat for a car seat and 2 people to sit comfortably together. We really love having the extra room!

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Mark M.

Smooth riding vehicle, has plenty of room for passengers and storage. Vehicle has four-wheel drive and is comfortable to drive. Very well built vehicle. I wish it came standard with LED lighting like most other vehicles.

likeFilled Kristy C.

The size is the best no cons some people say that its to big but with kids we love it. I like to sit up high in the car and not be bothered. The seats are very comfy and roomy. I have a tow package and use it all the time the vehicle has no issues towing.

likeFilled Bonnie P.

My automobile has been virtually maintenance free, and it has been more than reliable. It has always been very dependable. I feel safe in it, for my family and I. I would buy another one when I start looking.

likeFilled Cassie H.

Very spacious, good gas mileage, many options to choose from when making your purchase. Drives smooth. Backup camera works amazing. The room behind 3rd row seating is large enough for 2 large dogs to fit comfortably.

likeFilled Eily W.

Sturdy vehicle for highway travel. Smooth ride on highway and in town. Has enough room to accommodate all my gear for the craft shows ido. From tables to chairs to product totes to tent and everything in between, this vehicle holds it all... Even a couple of passengers to help with loading and set up.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Mark M.

Does not come with LED lighting standard like other modern vehicles, especially the headlights. Wish the vehicle came with lane assist to assist the driver with lane changes and it would help the safety rating of the vehicle.

dislikeFilled Kristy C.

Some people say a con is that the car is too big but I don't think so at all. I have no issues with gas some others do. There is not a whole lot of upgrades in the cabin. Ford is a little behind on the technology part of cars.

dislikeFilled Bonnie P.

I would like the gas mileage to be somewhat better. Also, I would be a lot happier if maybe the price was at least slightly lower. Other than that, I cannot really find many cons at all. I would strongly recommend it to anyone in the market for obtaining a new vehicle.

dislikeFilled Cassie H.

Does not have the option of bucket seats for the rear passengers. A lot of nooks and crannies for dirt or food to fall into, making it harder to clean out. The towing capacity could be higher in order to pull larger items like a large camper for a larger family.

dislikeFilled Eily W.

One of the cons of having a sturdy, heavy vehicle for highway driving is that the gas mileage could be better. Also maneuvering and fitting into tight spots can be a challenge at times. Still, it is a trade off I am willing to make for the highway security I feel with this vehicle.

Is The 2016 Ford Expedition A Good Value?

We paid $28500. But it was 2 years old and had 63000 miles on it. Good value for the size of car and the upgrades that we wanted.
Samantha Q.
The best I remember, I believe I paid $48,000.00 for the 2016 ford expedition XLT. At the time, I thought the cost was a little pricey, but in the long run it has been a good value.
BONNIE P.
It is cost around 22,560$ but it is total worth every dime. I do not regret this purchase like I did other cars and trucks.
Z S.
We spent $32,000 on our expedition. In my opinion we got it for a great deal. I'm unaware of how much they usually sell for.
