Ford Expedition Owners & Discussions [Merged]

[AutoServe]

Gents,

Just got this 2002 exped with 59k mileage from my cousin 3 weeks back. I saw it in his garage in good running condition so when he offered it to me at 600k, I immediately said yes and paid him there and there. I regreted my spur of the moment action 'cause when I checked around, the ongoing selling price for such model is only 450k. Bad luck for me.

Well, I am generally happy with the SUV condition and its a joy to drive around the city on weekends (only) due to high fuel consumption (about 6-7 km/liter so far). The a/c stopped cooling the other week so I brought it to Frigid Zone Kamias where they topped up the freon but said that a/c needs cleaning which could take a full day. It's still cooling now so didn't go back yet to that shop.

I've read in this thread lot's of problems pertaining to suspension and rip-off by Ford service centers. For my other cars, I only patronize the dealer for warranty reason but since this exped is not new anyway, not to mention the restrictive cost in maintenance, i'm a bit cost concious now. Could anybody please recommend a good, honest service center/repair shop where I can buy original parts and avail of service at reasonable prices.

Thanks in advance.

Hi! Does anyone know where to buy 02 expedition headlights (crystal lens with orange line corner lights)? super mahal kasi sa casa. 2nd hand or brand new ok lang.

[antzsome]

Guys, just a question wala bang balak mga ford expe owners mag put up ng ford expedition club? ford escape, expe lang ata wala.

PROMDIBOY,

Bakit ka magtiya-tiyaga sa SUV kung hauling pala ang purpose mo. Go with a van na lang. Yung Starex 4X4 mas pwede pang ipang-off road kaysa sa Expedition. Hehehe. Naisip ko lang bigla. Pero seriously mag-van ka na nga lang. Designed for space sila hindi katulad ng mga SUV's na compromised ang design kasi they have to have some semblance of off-roadability (even the 4X2 models).

Just my 2 cents.

Boy2,

Sa father ko yung Exped. 4X2 lang yun. Pang-japorms niya. Naka-DVD player, billet grille, SPORT badging, rear spoiler, etc. The works yun. Hehehe. Pati upuan ginawang leather tapos wood panelling. Siyempre, mawawala ba naman ang first aid kit at fire extinguisher sa mga sasakyan namin? :mrgreen:

Sarap sakyan nun dahil air suspension. Sarap pa i-drive kahit once lang pinagamit. Pero sa Pajero na lang ako. At least yung Pajero sa kahit ano pwede mong daanan, eh. Hindi ka manghihinayang dahil protected ang underbody.

PROMDIBOY,

si Hero kasi dapat bibili ng 2003 Exped dati, kasi di natuloy kaya siya... bitter :mrgreen:

i'd expect typical city fuel economy at 2.9-4.3 km/L depending on traffic conditions. sobrang takaw niyan (compare that to an ordinary 1.6L sedan that gets 7-9 km/L in the same conditions and an ordinary 2.0L sedan that gets 5.5-7+ km/L).

wala ka masyadong choices sa 8 passenger vehicles that's as deluxe as the Exped (except the even more audacious Suburban), so if you need the space, it would be worth it, imo... kung occasional use lang or for long trips.

a more practical choice for 7-passenger hauling would be a minivan like the Chrysler Town & Country (1.9M, arguably flashier, more comfortable, and more spacious than an Exped)... hindi ko na babanggitin yung mga cheaper minivans since the Exped is at 2+ million bucks.

[ephraim]

PLS HELP NEED MORE INFO ON EXPEDITION.

SIR GESTAPO

Hero,

paki-compare lang ng parking sa Rockwell, as against Megamall and Galleria. Most often, may nakikita akong naka park sa Megamall na mga E150 van.

[AutoServe]

Kumikitang kabuhayan sa akin ang Ford Expedition, E150,E250,F150 Lincoln Navigator kaya bili lang po kayo ng bili and I'll do the maintenance

[gArY]

'kung me diesel lang nyan na variant.....
meron na kami nyan unang labas pa lang...

hehehehe....

sarap sa loob ng exped habang umaandar parang umaalon lang....
lakas lang sa gas....e 22 na yata ang gas ngayon.........

[CZintrclr]

O nga talagang maganda ang ride ng expe. Pajero mdyo matagtag, trooper V6 gas masarap ang ride and maluwag sa loob, pero expe. siguro dahil sa laki at bigat talagang di mo mafefeel ang mga normal potholes and also very roomy sa loob, style ng bayaw ko tuwing half tank nag papakarga na ng gas para di msydo maramdaman ang price ng gas.

[promdiboy]

hey peeps just got or expedition yesterday. after 90 days of waiting. ang hirap pala idrive pero sobrang pogi. ok naman lahat ang napansin ko lang is nafefeel mo yung lubak sa steering wheel. parang may kalampag sa front wheels. ganyan po ba talaga steering ng expedition? thanks

[Hero]

ewan ko lang sa bago..pero yung luma di ganyan...btw congrats buti ka pa hehehehe...ano pala kulay nakuha mo?

[need4speed]

We used to have a 99 Limited Edition Expedition but traded it in to get a Mark III.

That old one had Hydrolics on it which was pretty good. Although I feel that the new
independent suspension of the 2k3 expe gives it a more refined feel. Bumps and potholes are virtually unfelt.
Recently we got a 2003 Expedition White. The price then was still around the 1.9 Million mark Php. But now, I heard from our sales agent that the price in the Philippines is now 2M++ Php.

Here sa states mas mura Expedition eh (no thanks to that new Taxing scheme in the P.I.) It's not really a status symbol. Unang tingin ko, kala ko expedition, di pala. Outer body is practically the same, even the dubs. The backup sensor and the little computer on the dash (tells you how many km/miles you have left till Empty is very helpful.)

[NightRock]

Bad trip yan sa GAS.. calamba to manila round trip ko 1600 pesos ang GAS hindi ko na ulit hiniram sa office mauubos pera ko sa gas.. Sarap lang talaga sakyan kasi bale wala lubak ng edsa para ka lang naka kama.

[Ungas]

PROMDIBOY::: Congrats! Dalhin mo naman sa EB para makasakay naman ako ng Expe kahit minsan. :mrgreen:

[pnay_fickle_minded]

basta ako, NISSAN PATROL na lang... yung all black, pusok ng dating, tipid pa.... or VX:mrgreen:

[promdiboy]

sir hero: red color

sir nightrock: di ko pa natry magpagas, kaya di ko panafeel yung gas. full tank dinala. sabi sa message center sa instrument panel 28.8 liters/100kms. and 705 kms distance to empty.

sir ungas: walang problema,

maam pinayfm: naisip din namin patrol kaso di kami kasya sa loob. pero i agree gwapo nga patrol.

dalhin namin sa baguio this wednesday wala pa kami plate number, sana lang wag parahin ng parak. may nagsabi saakin na conduction sticker is good for 7 days, di paraw kasali sa color coding. tama ba ito?

[odell]

mas ok ba toh kesa un tahoe at un suburban?
