    We were one of the first to get the expedition in 97. It was a beige XLT on steel wheels. The looks and compliments I used to get driving it. Mind you I was 17 (it was my dad's). It was a great truck. We then got a 99 with sold it at 240,000 miles. Not a hiccup and we used it to tow a boat often. They just aren't made like that anymore. It's a shame.

      I inherited my uncle's 04 Expedition Eddie Bauer that he bought brand new. I drove it to 338K while still using it for Lyft and would regularly get complements on it. It ran like new, had ice cold AC, and all the bells and whistles worked like new. Over those 338K; it only needed an ignition coil. It's still the favorite vehicle I've ever had and regret trading it in. CarMax was amazed when they seen how many miles it had on it and how good of shape it was in. It handled very well thanks to the long travel IRS and was also quite capable off road with some AT tires.
      The first and second gen Expeditions with the 2V Modular engines are some of the best vehicles on the road.

    Which was passed down to me last year 20+ years later.
    It has never been in the shop except for routine maintenance oil, brakes , spark plugs battery. That's it.
    It needs new rear shocks and I think it needs a ball joint on the driver's side.
    Still running strong. 188k on the dash, and I'd have no fear to drive it to Colorado and back.
    In town mpg is crap at 10-12 mpg.

Still runs great, minimal maintenance. I just acquired an 01 gmc sierra 1500hd, 4x4 6.0L, and I believe I get about 13-15 mpg on 285/75/17s.

    This was fun, guys. Thanks for doing it. Until last year I had a 2002 5.4L F150 King Ranch. It performed similarly to the Expedition Nathan drove - 15-16 mpg. I sold mine last year after 22 years of reliable service. for $10,000. It's still running strong - saw it on the highway the other day.

    I have owned many brands of trucks. Believe it or not, the least costly maintenance wise was the chevy half ton with that darned 350 and EFI. Well, over 400k maintenence free miles. But the paint flaked, and the brakes were lacking. But that mid ninety Z 71 regular cab 8 foot bed regularly got about 18.5 mpgs, tooling down the highway at a good clip with 3.73s. Amazing.

I swapped a 6.0LS and 4L80 into it around 5 years ago, 3” OME Lift and 35” tires, gets around 16mpg now. My 15’ Tundra 4wd usually only averages around 14mpg.

My current long term average with 33's and 4.56 gears, according to my always running Torque app (yes Andre, the Land Cruiser was OBDII compliant before it was required in 1995), is 12 mpg. Mostly city. On the highway I've seen as high as 17, but usually around 13.5

    Living on the east coast with the rolling country roads and no traffic I find i can top cruise control by about 2mpg using my foot so the speed increases going down hill and decreases going uphill instead of constantly downshifting. I have a '97 suburban family hauler 2" lift 265/75-16 3:73 that averages mid 19's, a '97 expedition 5.4 tow rig with 2" lift 265/75-16 3:74 that averages mid 17's when not towing and a 2000 expedition xlt 5.4 performance improved engine with 2" air bag lift 265/75-16 3:55 that averages high 17's when not towing. The 97' Eddie Bauer has the extreme tow/4x4 option and can out tow the burban while being exceptional to park even with a trailer due to length and turning radius.

    I've had several 80 series landcruisers in my life. It's almost unfathomable to think that they could have squeezed 16.3MPG out of that. I've never seen mileage like that ever, over the course of owning 4 of them previously. Mind you I do live in a bit more of a hilly area, but even straight highway I had a hard time cracking 12mpg on my completely stock 80 series. My lifted 97LX with 35s (same vehicle just lifted) I couldn't break 11mpg on the highway no matter what I did. My mileages were all hand calculated, using the 30 second rule too. Sheesh!!! I live at sea level though - It must be the altitude!

    The first time I drove an 80 series up the hill from Denver, I wondered if there was something wrong with the rig. It was operating normally. I was shocked on the way back down a couple of weeks later that the 80 series actually slowed down as it was going downgrade. The drivetrain losses must be enormous on top of the underpowered engine. Of course, I didn't object to needing less brake to get down. I will say that I did manage to hypermile the rig at times and got a shocking 19 across West Texas loaded down with various hiking gear, food, and water. It was my uncle's rig and he couldn't believe the numbers. I still would be tempted to swap the engine to get more performance at elevation if I owned one.
