1999 Ford Expedition - A solid, dependable SUV
I purchased a 1999 silver Ford Expedition XLT. This vehicle is still running strong at 221,000 miles and is a work horse. The back seats are removable. The interior is surprisingly still in great condition for the age of the vehicle. The seats are moderately comfortable for long trips, and I really like the visibility from the driver's seat. The Expedition is extremely spacious. It has dual zone air condition for the front and the back of the vehicle. The towing is also excellent. I have towed a ten-foot trailer, and it pulls it with ease. The one downside I have found is the gas mileage, but that is to be expected for such a large vehicle with a 5.4 liter Triton V8.
Story
I have seen the identical vehicle in the same color from time to time in my small town. At one point, there were three of us with the same exact model and color, not sure about the year driving in a line. It looked like we were part of an entourage. It is still popular because the Expedition lasts a long time.
Pros
.Spacious interior: Not only is it spacious, it has great views from every seat and is comfortable. The towing is amazing for an SUV. It has pulled everything I have thrown at it with ease. Reliability is great. It has been a workforce, and I have driven it for ten years problem free, and I bought it second hand.
Cons
Fuel Economy. In the city you will probably average 12 miles per gallon, on the highway you may get up to 18 on a good day. Towing will really bring your average down as well. Paint. The paint is the one item that hasn't held up like the rest of the vehicle. Most of the clear coat has been worn away and the shine is really lacking. Height. If you have health issues or your fairly short, you may have difficulty getting in the vehicle. Although it has a step, it can be really difficult for some people to get into the SUV. You should look for a smaller SUV if this describes you or your family... (more)
2000 Ford Expedition - Family vehicle
I love the fact that this vehicle has so much room in the interior for the whole family and a spacious compartment in the back. The seats have plenty of legroom. The seats fold down to convert for more space. The quality feels great for a long trip. Although, sometimes parking in a parking garage can be a bit snug. All power windows and rearview mirror with compass and rotation is nice. The cruise control comes in handy when on the highway. It definitely is a solid vehicle that I feel safe in transporting my family. In case of an accident, I feel much safer in this vehicle than in any vehicle I have owned. It is a dependable vehicle that inspires my confidence and safety standards. My vehicle has over 70,000 miles, and it is still performing right for me. I have taken a few long-distan... (more)

I have taken a few long-distance trip cross country, and it has never disappointed me. I have been able to use my truck to transport many items that would have required a rental truck otherwise.
Pros

Cons
Sometimes parking in a parking garage can be a bit snug.

2013 Ford Escape - Mullinax Ford Central Florida Apopka
They had the prices of the vehicles clearly marked with no add-ons or surprises. They treated me with respect and maintained a professional attitude throughout the purchase process.
2013 Ford Explorer - Audi North Orlando Sanford
The used car we selected was an off lease vehicle in very clean, low mileage condition. There were no high pressure tactics.
