2005 ford expedition review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. New engine brings more better, better fuel economy. introductionford expedition is a benchmark for full-size suvs. It's smooth, stable and refined with responsive handling given its size and weight. A new 2005 expedition limited model kicks it up a notch with special trim colors and more standard features. all 2005 ford expedition models come with a new v8 engine that increases horsepower substantially yet improves fuel economy and reduces emissions. Expedition is loaded with safety features, and 2005 brings an optional roll stability control system, which is designed to sense an approaching rollover situation then take action to help prevent it. what the expedition does best is move large quantities of people and gear. It can be equipped to tow up to 8900 pounds making it a good choice for families that need to pull a boat or a horse. Its perfectly flat cargo area makes it particularly adept at hauling. The available powerfold third-row seat folds perfectly flat with the press of a button. able to carry up to eight passengers, it's good at hauling children. The second row features a small center seat that slides forward to give parents in the front seat access to a small child. A rear-seat dvd system is available for entertainment. And the reverse sensing system can alert the driver as the expedition is backed toward an object such as a parked car, a short pole, or a child on a tricycle. lineupthe 2005 ford expedition comes with one engine, a 5. 4-liter sohc v8 that uses variable valve timing and three valves per cylinder to develop 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. They come well equipped, but offer little in the way of options. Seats are three cloth-covered benches: split 60/40 in the first row with six-way power for the driver; split 40/20/40 in the second row to allow the centerslide feature; and split 60/40 in the third row. xlt 34,745) and xlt 4wd 37,495) add auxiliary rear air conditioning and heat controls, overhead console with storage, auto-dimming rearview mirror, illuminated vanity mirrors, color-keyed door handles, the tire-pressure monitoring system, fog lamps, running boards, and aluminum wheels. Many more options are available on xlt than xls. an appearance package called xlt sport 850) adds dark shadow grey exterior cladding and wheel-lip moldings, high-gloss dark shadow grey tubular step bars, and a two-tone grille treatment. nbx 38,595) outfits xlt 4wd models for the backcountry, with all-terrain tires, unique 17-inch chromed steel wheels, skid plates, and sachs shocks tuned for off-road performance. Nbx models are distinguished by their tubular steel running boards and blackout reflector headlamps. Inside are front captain's chairs with six-way power, heavy-duty rubber floor mats and a soft liner for the cargo area. eddie bauer 2wd 38,910) and 4wd 42,060) add automatic climate control, leather captain's chairs with power and memory for the driver and manual lumbar support on both sides, power adjustable pedals with memory, power heated exterior mirrors, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and climate controls, floor, message center, audiophile stereo with an in-dash six-cd changer, and a keypad for the keyless entry system. Externally, bauer expeditions are distinguished by 17-inch machined aluminum wheels, pueblo gold running boards and generous helping of pueblo gold trim. limited 2wd 40,710) and 4wd 43,860) differ from the eddie bauer primarily in color scheme, but add power folding heated mirrors with turn signals and memory; eight-way power and memory for the front seats; and a wood-and-leather steering wheel. Seats are monochromatic leather; complex-reflector headlamps are blacked out; wheel lips, cladding, and mirrors are body color; and the wheels, exhaust tip, and roof rails are chromed. safety is enhanced by a big, rigid frame, a low front bumper, adjustable pedals to give smaller drivers a safer seating position, and a tire-pressure monitor. Anti-lock brakes (abs) and other active safety systems help the driver maintain control of the vehicle and reduce the chance of skidding off the road. optional safety features include the safety canopy air curtain system 850), designed to offer head protection for first- and second-row passengers in the event of a rollover or side impact; the package includes the reverse sensing system. Advancetrac with roll stability control 595), ford's electronic stability control system, monitors traction at all wheels, plus the rate of change of body lean, and automatically cuts power or selectively applies one or more wheel brakes to correct a skid or prevent a rollover; it's only available on eddie bauer and limited m. walkaroundford expedition is larger than chevy tahoe, but smaller than suburban. It's larger than toyota sequoia and considerably larger than dodge durango. this second-generation expedition shares almost nothing with pre-2003 models, though it looks a lot like them and is roughly the same size. Underneath, everything is new. The track was widened nearly two inches to give expedition a well-planted stance. expedition has a towering presence, thanks to its raised hood. Standard 17-inch wheels enhance its bold look. The roof height is lower than in the previous generation. Bumpers are integrated more smoothly into the overall design. Door handles are the full-grip variety, making them easier for occupants to grab, whether left- or right-handed, gloved or not gloved. This is particularly true with the popular eddie bauer models and the new limited models. The eddie bauer is a very pleasant place to be, with handsome leather trim that's warm and friendly and metallic satin finish trim on the rings that surround the vents and door handles. Shapes are round, and controls are hefty for an easy grip. Lighter upholstery colors give the expedition a lighter, more car-like air. lower-level models are nice, too, with padded door trim in nicely contrasting materials that looks and feels good. The round, rotating vents didn't look great but they seemed to work well. The center console (that comes in most models) can hold a small laptop computer. The console has a slot to hold pens and a palm pilot or other pdas. Its lid is comfortably padded, and feels nice to the touch even on nbx and xlt models where it's covered in faux leather. innovations abound. The available power-operated third-row seats fold flat with the press of a button. The third-row seat is split 60/40 into two seats. Push a button on the wall of the cargo area, and one side powers down. Hold down the other button, and the other side powers down. The power-down buttons are convenient. The third row disappears into the floor, leaving a perfectly flat cargo area. We changed the expedition repeatedly from a people hauler to a cargo hauler and back again with just a simple press of the button. First, we loaded it with a day bed and other furniture for delivery to a summer cottage. After dumping that off, a pack of teenagers piled in to go to a punk rock concert. We determined the expedition's third row is comfortable enough for a couple of full-size adults. The next day we picked up a high-backed wicker chair from the furniture store. The third-row headrests can be pushed down flush with the seatbacks, greatly improving rearward visibility when no one is seated back there. with the seats folded down, the cargo floor is perfectly flat, in contrast to many suvs, which have a slanting platform. The expedition's flat floor, combined with the flaps that cover the gap where the seats hinge, makes it easy to slide objects in and out. The middle section can be moved forward 11 inches, almost abutting it to the back of the front center console. That gives front-seat parents easier access t.
