You just have all the reasons not to buy a new Bronco. 4cy direct injection, Turbo with a 10spd. Not to mention they tip the scale at 5000lbs.
If you can get a Nissan Armada first generation for review, that would be appreciated. Those things are everywhere.
Thx for your work Scotty!
Hey Scotty!! I just bought a 2001 Grand Marquis Ls with only one problem , the wheels make a clacking noise when i make left turns and accelerate , how do i fix it???
Scotty , I bought a used 2009 Toyota Sequoia so far I am feeling quite comfortable driving this car ,, Can you please make a video about Toyota Sequoia including the advantages and disadvantages,,?
Thank you
@@lrivas738 your brake rotors are most likely worn.
I thought the best used SUV was a Toyota Celica
🤣
Too bad you 🤡don't know the difference SUV /car 🤣
That's not a suv lol
way better than new hondas
Greg Pavitt do you not understand that he was joking
Put a lift kit on the Celica and there will be no need for an suv!
I think the Matrix would be a better candidate for a lift and big wheels
TRUE!!!
Nasir Lanier didn’t ask 😀
@Nasir Lanier it's not a joke
I was 100% expecting him to show a Toyota Highlander.
Or RAV4
any highlander at 7k around me, is probably super beat to hell
Edit, i stand corrected, i see a few on kijiji near me that don't look like absolute trash around the same age... Though the 4runner's always appealed more to my tastes regardless.
@Cars N Stuff To compare the I-Force V-8 to the Ford 8 cylinder is a wash on milage. The 6 banger is another story.
Lol, me too
I have 2008 highlander .. And dude does not have any problems, it is really powerful comfortable and it's quite fast not saying anything about space i can fit all my classmates in there
Had two of these. The second was we put on over 200k on it. It served us well and excellent for road trips. No issues
Why did you get rid of them?
@@Kauffman578 After about 4 years I traded the older one in for a new Expo with captions chairs and a fold down disappearing third row seat. It was great for long road trips with the kids. Sold it because the kids are grown and no longer needed a large and gas hungry SUV.
"Got a big old rear end..." Scotty, you need a pic of a Kardashian to flash up on the screen.
LMFAO
Ford Kardashn.
He did it on other videos lmao he listens to his viewers.
Or Jennifer Lopez
I paid 6k for my 02 Expedition EB in '08 with 108k miles. Now she has 320k miles and still runs great. Major repairs have been an intake and rear differential only.
I know this is an old comment, but we are currently looking at a 2007 Eddie Bower edition, with 190k miles for $6k. We are in the northeast, so rust is *always* a big deal. But if we can get them in decent shape, undercoating is a blessing. I don’t like newer cars. I like to buy older with cash, then drive them for a decade or more. I would be able to buy this SUV, and keep driving it for another decade.
Other drivers: WHAT IS THAT GUY DOING🤬
Scotty: **slams on brakes** STOPS ON A DIME😃
Lmao best comment yet
Hahaha🤣
😂🤣
I bought a 2007 Expedition EL 4x4 with 200,000 miles. It had a perfect CarFax that showed it was serviced every 5,000 miles at the dealership. I drove it for 3 years and gave it to my son with 240,000 miles. It's still going strong. The only issue is both rocker panels rusted out in the Michigan winters.
I would like for scotty to just rank all the cars in the last 20 years on a spreadsheet or something so we can reference it and make a good used car buying choice.
Thst launch probably took his mpg from 19.5 to like 14
Lol😅
Ya, not a race car AT ALL. It's great for trips with my 4 kids & 2 dogs.
My family had a 07 Ford Expedition and we bought it used in 2012 at 123,000 miles and we drove it from Nashville Tennessee to Anchorage Alaska in 12 days and it gave us no problems. Just three weeks ago she blew a gasket at 270,000 miles and had no prior problems. Actually sad to see it go, most reliable vehicle we owned.
Why did the gasket blew?
@@Kauffman578 age
How much for fixing the gaskets?
@@Kauffman578 couple thousand
Everybody gangsta until the car stops shifting like a dream
and Stops running like a top
Keye Haze and the AC stops blowing freezing cold air
And becomes an endless money pit
fattyatemetoo "And when the air suspension goes out on one of these things" OOOOOOOOH-WEEEEEEEEEE
That makes me a gangsta then. My 02 Celica with 392k miles is still shifting like a dream and my ac still blowing arctic cold. 😆
Got a 12 Expedition 2 weeks ago. 50,000 fewer miles, for 13,500, no wrecks, well maintained. Glad you backed up our choice.
Currently driving the family car since my parents dont use it. Its 2003 with 160k miles. Weve gone to mexico in it for 9 years straight, the drive is 36hrs. Still works great
🤯🤯🤯
Scotty I like the way you said "big old rear end " 2:23.
Mileage: I can get 20 - 22 mpg over the road, if I keep it on cruise control at 70mph. Above, it quickly sinks to 16 when I push it to 80 to 85. Just change the oil every 5000 miles; the 5.4 L engine is prone to oil passage blockage from sludge. Keep the insides clean, use full synthetic and a new oil filter every 5K. It just may last forever.
I’ve had two...first one was totaled in a wreck at 157k, bought another, put 178k on it and then sold it to a friend who still uses it for a work truck. Great vehicles in my experience. 👍
Like 178k on top of what was on it
Thanks Scotty. I wondered what the acceptable Long Term Fuel trim should be on an older car. I always learn something from you. You've saved me a lot of money. So, thank your wife for supporting you in your hard work. You are helping me out.
I never had a problem with my Ford Expedition (sold), but I prefer My 2002 Ford Excursion Limited with the 7.3
Whoa. Big one
i imagine you recently got the excursion and didnt endure the gas crisis from a few yrs ago.
@@Mr.Pop0 It was worse I had 3 dump trucks thru the high dollar diesel years (100 gal tanks)
The Expedition has the rear hatch while the Excursion has swing doors with a hatchback like glass. 7.3 Diesel will get better mpg and is Fords best diesel. Easier to put a lift on the Excursion with the solid axles.
Love the rear hatch of the Expedition (glass goes up also). 3v 5.4L like this one has more engine issues compared to the old 2v.
This vehicle's best use is to take the 5'2" wife and the two kids to the grocery store and to school in the mornings.
Hehehe yes! I'm also 5'2" and it's my fav large suv to drive HANDS DOWN
Lol my wife is 5'2
So is mine! I think this is a standard. “That store is 120 wives away from here”
"Its hot as Hades in here" 😂😂😂😂
I loved my 2001 Expedition. It was hit head on two weeks ago. It is totaled but I didn't get a scratch. Built like a tank.
Glad you are ok - 5- yrs + ago- I got hit from tha Back - I was at a dead stop waiting to turn left .
Big 3/4 Ford Truck loaded hit me... totaled my 98’ Honda . Back seat was at the back of my Head 😳 I walked away ...
Jimmy Sapien wow. And thanks
Is the 2014 also good
Expedition
This is right around the time Ford finally started getting things right with the 5.4 V8. I’ve seen quite a few of these with well over 200k miles and even some with more than 300k.
Sure they can have problems. I had an 06 f150, wasn’t perfect but got almost 200k miles out of it before I got rid of it. Only time it left me stranded was the starter at 185k. Feel bad for those that weren’t as lucky!
It is a pleasure to watch someone doing work that they enjoy and that they are extremely good at.
Had a 98’ expedition handed down to be from my father. I wasn’t crazy about the amount of money it crossed to fill up the tank. But, it was one of the most comfortable rides I ever had.
They are a dream ride for that they are
Scotty called it right, no one seems to sing it praises and I too see it underrated
Another great video Scotty!
6 months ago bought a 2013 Expedition Limited 75k miles for $13,500 with a $55,700 sticker "and it has the updated 5.4. Best SUV I've ever owned. At that price I was able to pay cash for the first time in my life.
We had an 07 expedition. It was excellent, traded it at 180k my wife wanted a challenger. Wish I had kept it though! It was pretty quick as well!
I like those suvs thanks for reviewing one Scotty👍
I have the navigator version of this car. It's a great vehicle
Change the Oil on the 3-valve V-8s more often, it demands it. Don't skip on one
Yes! Scotty Kilmer finally approves an Expedition. My family has one, but older.
My 2003 Expedition was reliable, I could rely on the AC to fail reliably
Are the 2003 or not?
Thx Scotty for keeping it real 🙂
You need a clip art pop up on my mother in law at
2:04 “ she’s showing her age “ and
2:26 “ she’s got a big rear end “
why are inlaws such garbo all the time
Yeah, should have shown Kardashian at 2:26.
@@robertromero8692 @2:25 I was waiting for Scotty to post a PAWG Meme.
My mom has the exact same one! 350k miles so far with no problems!
Thanks for the break in this 4 month continuant Monday, Scotty!! Take Care!
Hi Scotty. Thanks for all the videos.
hello, thank you!
Just keep a lookout for the lovely cam phasers.
Thought it was gonna be a Lamborghini Urus
If you can find one for 7k then yes
Urus is Malay word just means auroch which are completely extinct pretty sure, just have modern domesticated sad shadows of those beasts. Maybe Spanish fighting bulls are close but not in size.
paulparoma Absolutely as extinct as Lamborghini LM’s, Volkswagen should have stayed to its makers specifications and world to its makers politics. They are silly toys for foolish people, thieves that unlikely earned the income in Ann honest fashion. Absurd money pits for traitors of oligarchy. Animals and words are more interesting than o sense signs of empty souls. Lamborghini isn’t a race car it’s a sad status symbol and common were live, regarded as cringy.
SUV not even gross fast track car, and by that company owned by giant group of awful cars.
Nice to see a customer with a reasonably clean vehicle
I never had problems with the 4wd system on my Expedition. And I can but wonder if scotty has ever driven in snow. As someone who has driven trucks and SUVs that have both 4wd and 2wd modes, it makes a huge difference. And 4wd does help cornering and braking in snow. Its been proven in testing.
Yeah i was wondering that. Here in the midwest 2wd vs 4wd makes a hell of a difference.
I hate Snow, Good thing Texas has a bobwire fence between it and hell
Scotty, I want you to know that I bought the Rocket Socket using your link. Glad I watched the video where you mentioned it. I was dealing with rusty bolts under the exhaust manifold and the rocket socket helped me get the job done!
My mother rented a 2017 Expedition that was very similar to this one. It was very comfortable.
Have 04 Ford Expedition w/5.4 3v still going strong. Has 220k miles w/OG Engine. She’s does tick, but still doing regular Maintenance. Like Scotty said not good fuel mileage, but she does have tons of room. A far as replacing or fixing spark plugs or anything engine bay wise. You’ll have it hard. Theres not a ton of room, but still manageable. I Plan to run this SUV until she’s done. Definitely will install A new engine that’s been updated.
I have 2 expeditions. A 2002 and a 2005. They have been great and reliable vehicles. The 2002 lost its transmission around 160k miles and the 2005 lost it's at about 145k. Both towed a 4500 pound boat in the mountains which I'm sure has contributed to the failed transmissions, but both engines still run great with the transmission being the onlyissue.
I'm very surprised how hard my will pull
Love the old school Ford Expedition 2000-2010
Hi Scotty how are you and your wife and stay safe and have a good day keep up the good videos
Thank you so much for sharing! 💕
I got an 06 expedition. 166k miles. Only thing to go was my alternator last year. Got it at 60k miles. Hell of a smooth ride. Gas is pretty much like he says; not the best millage. I get ~400 miles to the tank (about 28 gallons)
I use a 2010 SSV Expedition at a towing company for a roadside assistance vehicle. It was bought at government auction from a fire department where it accumulated about 75,000 hard miles. Even came with the red lights and emergency stuff on it. Now it runs 12 hour+ shifts in the snow, mud and super cold and hot weather alike. Has about 900 lbs of tools and equipment on it including a 12k lb winch for pulling vehicles out of ditches or off road recoveries, and it's occasionally used for towing trailers as well. It's a beast of a truck. It goes where others can't, and it even has mud tires on it. I'd take driving it over the tow trucks any day, and the tow trucks are almost brand new! Very solid, and dependable vehicle.
My daily driver is a 07 expedition SSV with the column shifter. I brought it in 2019 from auction. The interior is just the basic beige color, it didn't have any Police/Fire dept. Lights. So I have no idea what it was used for previously. It's been awesome though currently has 234K miles
My grandfather has a 2006 suburban with almost 300,000 miles on it and the only thing that has been done is oil changes and brakes but other than that the transmission has never been touched. You can’t go wrong with either ford or chevy
Agreed. From what I heard from Volt owners, they just plugged it into a regular 120v socket at home. They said the gas engine would maybe kick in once a week. And long trips were no problem because of the gas engine. GM probably spent a billion dollars on this thing and then dropped it. All the RD costs and manufacturing costs were paid for. Just like Scotty says, they could have slowly improved it over time.
Fun review. Very good.
Mom drove one of these in the same color with Eddie Bauer. Was stopped at a light. Saw the person behind her not stopping. She jumped the curb and mowed over the shrubs. Only clipped the corner. Enough to total the expedition. Mom walked away. Driver in front of her left in an ambulance.
I had an 1993 explorer for awhile. Great vehicle, can go anywhere.
Mum that funny man is street racing again, love the channel Scotty look forward to your 2 posts every day
Had an 09 nav, bought at 105k, traded it 3 yrs later at 160k for an 18 expedition. Wife and I loved both. Miss them both to pieces.
Love Ford Expeditions they have been the best sub trucks, I’ve ever had.
I got the same model few months ago, planning to keep it al least for four years.
Which model of the 2020 Toyota highlander is the best? And all-wheel or ? I use my car for work.
The 07 was one of the best years for this truck I've got one with 300k and all original motor and transmission. Hauled a 8000 pound rv trailer through the arizona mountains not one issue
Hi Scotty, loved 😍 all your videos. I do have a question. What do you think about making and installing a hydrogen fuel generator. I'm thinking on adding one to my Ford 350. Econoline, class C motorhome that gives me 6 to 7 mpg. Would love to hear your opinion.
Had 2 of these beasts and would buy another one in a heartbeat...
Hi Scotty I love watching your videos. They are very helpful. I’d like to know what you think about the Buick Enclave, I’m thinking about getting one. A new one I would appreciate your advice thank you in advance
I'm still in love with the 99-02 expeditions. Had two in my time. Looking for another one with minimum rust.
We know that scotty secretly loves fords as well.too lol
I'm glad I came across this. I have been looking at used Expeditions...
Did you end up purchasing one??
@@veronicadubin3077 Yes, 2014 Expedition EL and loVe it.
We have an expedition as our fire car, works pretty well, been a very reliable car.
Video on timing chains and cam phasers please
Good to see Scotty using the Autel MK808 great scan tool now I know it's Scotty approved. I bought mine last year but the Bluetooth version though.
I have one, I have 327k miles on it with stock tabs and engine. Anything done to it is all maintenance. Great car
My 1997 Expedition has the 5.4L. 186k miles and I beat the crap out of it when I was in high school never thinking it would be my problem until I brought it from my dad. Engine and trans are still perfect. Ford doesn't play around with the quality of their SUVs.
2002 Expediaton since 2012. 4R100 transmission was a plus to me. It has blowen 2 of its spark plugs out but repaired. One coil on plug replaced. Overall, 2v 5.4 is OK. $10000 96,000 Miles, 162000 now. I got B1261 code so A/C isn't blowing cold all the time when sun sensor is shorted. Paid for, priceless. I can buy a lot of gas for a car payment cost. And I can play my cassettes and CDs yet in the radio.
We have a 2000 with over 280,000 miles. We've had the trans done twice but still going strong.
Hi Scotty! Love your videos!
hello and thanks!
Love it!!
Recently bought an 2011 Expedition XLT with 73,000 miles for $9600.00. Same deal. Everything runs very well. Only issues are middle seat won't fold down(will repair it eventually) and the weather seals on the doors are poorly. Highly recommend.
Thank you Scotty Kilmer
What about all the engine failures on 2007 and 2008 model years?
i recently picked up a 04 expedition EB for 3 grand, i'm staying away from the 5.4L 3 valve
As you should 👍
Exactly! He spoke nothing about the Cam Phasers or Spark Plugs. If it's a 4.6L then it won't have those issues at all but he needs to say that.
Such a spotty engine. Mine has 300k on it with original timing equipment. But likewise bought one for my son with 80k on it and the equipment went out at 88k
5.4L have there faults like any other engines, I don't understand the hate about them... Every engine has problems, even Toyota built cars that has problems, *cough* older generation Prius, Camry and Corolla for a couple years. I have one myself 06 Expedition 185k on the clock... Only major I would say is the flywheel going out a couple times, other than that mines has been dead reliable. You gotta take care of them, that's all. I'm never getting rid of that SUV until it dies, nobody wants that gutless older 4.6 and 5.4. lackluster
Hey Scotty whats your thaught on the early Ford Superduties with the 5.4 2v??
This guy actually took care of this SUV, most likely a highway driven vehicle, check out the 2005-10 RX330/350 Lexus SUV, we are looking for one
Nice car 🚗
Are there still issues with 2007 or newer Ford Expedition V8 engines. Ford went through some big-dollar repair issues with their V8, I believe one issue was their cam phasers. Have those and other issues been solved with the 2007 and newer Ford V8's?
Somehow they seemed to have messed up the paint on the rear tailgate with this gen expedition almost all of them I see have missing paint there or rust bubbles
I have a 2011 expedition the trans just went out. I love driving it
385k miles on my 97 expedition and the trans is just now starting to slip its about time the expy got a little love
Damn that had to been the most clean underbody I've seen for a ford exloder. Here in Illinois aka salt bucket winters, they are rusted through EVERYWHERE!
Owner has taken care of it
like he said...he's in texas. Low humidity and prob zero salt from (zero) snowy winters 🤷♀️. Vastly diff than what the east coast does to cars 😁
Glad to see this one isn’t a piece of crap and an endless money pit. Thanks, Scotty!
Love the big ol rear ends
Wow, didn't Ford have one of their biggest set backs ever with the 5.4 3V motors? Infamous for cam phaser and timing chain issues, as well as the spark plugs blowing out of the heads. Come on Scotty, dig deeper. "2009-2010 The 5.4 -liter V8 improved in 2009, fixing the cam phaser issues and all but eliminating the spark plug problems."
They are not the best engine Ford made. With the proper maintenance and oil changes every 3K miles they can go. I know because I own one!
Isn’t that the 5.4 triton 3 valve that has all kinds of issues?
The spark plugs breaking on the 3 valve engines are a pain in the a$$ along with the cam phasers...
Otherwise they are pretty good vehicles.
Yeah he didn’t mention the fact that after 100k there is a good chance you will need a new engine very soon.
Buy a 09 they redesign the thread and sparkplug
@@marshallkobe 169k 4.6l 3v here. Smooth running

What are your thoughts on ceramic coatings for the paint and wheels?
I have gotta get me one of these
Scotty, is a 2002 Corolla with 44K original miles and only one owner a good deal at $2,700. Owner is an old lady who drives it every week but only for a few miles each way. Has bad head liner and some cosmetic stuff, flaking paint around windows, and a bit of sun damage to vinyl on door interior. no lights on but feels a little rough. what do I look out for if I'm worried it hasn't been driven enough. Thanks
I have a sonic with 47k miles as a second vehicle. They are perfect examples of gm quality (lack of) today. The good news is that there are plenty of parts, engines, and transmissions for them lol
