Author's Review
My husband and I went on the dreaded search for the new "family car". We knew that we wanted an SUV, and were leaning toward the Tahoe. I come from a diehard GM family. My parents have leased 2 Tahoes in the last 4 years, and I had driven them frequently. I found them to be comfortable, however they always felt like they were top heavy when turning corners and such. I had read that the new Expedition had come out with flat fold seats, and I knew that we had to check this out. I have to admit, I never thought we would buy a Ford, but the minute I drove it, I LOVED it. It seems to have way more room in it than the Tahoe. My husband is 6'4, so we need all the leg room & head room that we can get. I also love the way that you sit up high, it seems to give a better view of your surroundings.
The interior is very driver friendly, everything is within arms reach. The center console is HUGE. Lots of cupholders, even in every door!! The seating is the real winner. Ford really designed this well. The 2nd row of seats are separated into 3 individual seats, which allows for any number of seating arrangements. Plus, the middle seat in the second row slides forward to be directly up against the console. It puts a infant right behind you. But for those of you without children, it allows for the people sitting in the 3rd row of seats to have a ton more leg room. We went on a 90 mile round trip with 6 very tall adults and everyone commented on how comfortable it was! They could not believe the leg room. The 3rd row fold down seats are the best. We knew that we wanted a 3rd row of seats for those rare times when we would need them, but we also knew that we did not have the room to store them. This was an answer to prayers. I find them very easy to put up or down.
Overall, we are very pleased with this vehicle. It does tend to slurp up the gas in town, but what big SUV doesn't? It is very stable, turns on a dime, makes us feel very safe...
P.S. My mom is jealous...she hates her brand new Yukon...:)
