    Resale? Terrible. The Expedition and E150 have a reputation as gas guzzlers, and cooling problems with some older Expeditions (due to the fact that they weren't built for tropical weather) and transmission issues have turned people off of them.

    That said, the all-new Expedition has a much better engine than the old one, and the six-speed automatic and electronic throttle should make fuel consumption a little better... but from all indications, it'll still be a guzzler.

    Based on the previous models of the XP, the resale value is almost nonexistent because there simply very few buyers interested in buying a used Expedition. One major reason is the fuel consumption, it drinks gasoline like there is no tomorrow.

    As for driving an XP, it is a nice vehicle to drive (cost of fuel not withstanding). A simple nudge of the accelerator and the engine responds. The suspension is smooth over highways and rough roads. Just do not attempt high speed corners, these vehicles are meant for straight open roads. The XP can give somewhat decent fuel consumption figures when driven on mostly highway and very little traffic. A trip from Manila to Baguio can be done with 8 to 10 km/L and that's with a full load of people and bags.

    E150: let's set aside the gasoline consumption issue...

    few reasons, I was so happy, at nabenta E150 namin, driver ka na nga, maingay pa anak mo + anak pa nila, hindi ka makapag sounds ng malakas at may baby na sakay, bus driver ang tingin sa iyo, at mentality mo bus driver na rin...

    Hehehe... kulang lang sa disiplina mga sakay mo...

    The E150 is actually a very practical vehicle... tons of space for passengers to lounge about in... it's a good long-distance vacation vehicle... with the number of people it can hold, the fuel consumption is almost acceptable.

    If you ever decide to get the E150 then be wary that it will be faced lifted soon (at least in the US).


    Got this from wikipedia. keyword: ford e-series

    Ford introduced the new E-Series at the New York Auto Show in March. It takes the 2008 Ford Super Duty grille that makes it look "Built Ford Tough." It has been overhauled with better handling, more payload and a sharper look.[2] Updates to the front end of the van include larger headlights, a bold new grille to showcase its "strength and reliability", and a longer hood than previously used in the later model E-Series and Econoline vans. No engine or interior improvements were made. However, Ford says the 2008 E-Series line-up rides on an improved chassis. A series of upgrades to the braking, suspension and steering systems have resulted in improvements in ride and handling, braking performance and load carrying capability. The chassis and suspension improvements have also resulted in an increase in the maximum gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) from 14,050 pounds to a class-leading 14,500 pounds. Additionally, the maximum front gross axle weight rating (GAWR) is increased by about 10 percent, from 4,600 pounds to a class-leading 5,000 pounds.

    gpac - if you need a real people mover from the Ford line-up then the E-150 Chateau Wagon is for you. Riding comfort is great even if the rear sits on leaf springs.

    Over time it has also become a real status symbol which makes it stand out from the regular, very common family vans.
