Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford Expedition?
My Expedition maneuvers into parking spots and in general like a car.
The take off is wonderful.
I love the 3rd row seat you still have leg room and when you need extra storage all you have to do is push a button and the seats fold flat.
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford Expedition?
The cons however are the breaks squeaked like crazy so I had to replace them with a better pad.
Also the molding around the car seems to break really easy so maybe instead of plastic holding molding to the car it should be metal.
2005 Ford Expedition Review:
As much as I love my car I hate the fact that every couple of months something new is wrong with it.
It only has 40,000 miles and the catalitic converter already had to be replaced and a coil went out in the engine. The ac has broken 2 times now and I am experiencing electrical issues. Plus the rear hatch/ window leaks even though the window has been replaced, the weather stripping also replaced, and the window has been aligned 2 times it still leaks.
I know many people with this vehicle and they have had no problems. Mine must be a lemon!

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford Expedition?
Our engine needs to be replaced at only 66,800 miles and Ford is un-willing to help me out. I have to come out of pocket $7500.00 for an engine.
2005 Ford Expedition Review:
I am very dissatisfied with Ford. No one should have to replace an engine at 66,800 miles because a valve breaks of and drops in to cylinder.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford Expedition?
I love the performance, power and four wheel drive since we live on top of a mountain and are constantly driving uphill.
Also, the interior room is great.
It is wonderful to be able to fit so many people in it and not feel crammed.
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford Expedition?
Better gas mileage and better stereo.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford Expedition?
Everything!!
My third row seat folds flat electronically and I have homelink which allows you to open you garage and various components!!
It has heated and ac cooled front seat a nice option and rare in suvs!!
Air suspension which make the vehicle drive like it's on pillows.
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford Expedition?
More power is always nice, maybe factory headers, and front and rear axle lockers.
Better stereo equipment.
2005 Ford Expedition Review:
I think Ford should offer different engine options and better factory stereo equipment maybe by linking up with an aftermarket stereo company like many other auto manufacturers have done. Infinity, Bose, Kicker are just a few I have seen personally.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford Expedition?
Everything
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford Expedition?
I would rate my 2003 better, because of two features I miss in my 2005. Which is the programable door opener, and the electric buttons to lay the 3d row seat down that my 2005 does not have.
