2004 Ford Expedition Review

　　

zzdcar' Expert Review

by the zzdcar Experts

　　

What’s new

　　Redesigned last year, the Expedition offers few changes for 2004. Option packages and trim levels have been slightly revised, and in some cases, renamed. The XLS replaces last year's XLT Value trim level, while a new NBX trim level replaces the FX4 off-road package. And there is now an XLT Sport trim level. A tire-pressure monitoring system is now standard on XLT, XLT Sport and Eddie Bauer, while the previously standard limited-slip rear axle is now an option.

　　

zzdcar says

　　Roomy on the inside and agile out on the road, the Expedition is a solid choice among full-size SUVs.
