With the Ford Excursion discontinued several years ago, the Ford Expedition has taken over the top spot in Ford's SUV lineup. After a redesign for the 2007 model year, the 2008 Ford Expedition arrives in dealer lots sporting the same well-received styling. The 2008 Ford...

  • Wanna Save on Gas?

    If you go into sticker shock every time you fill up, you're probably looking for ways to save on gasoline. Drivers down on the country's southern border, especially in Texas and... Read more

Other Choices:

Gas prices...gas prices, moan, complain...woe are we. This is a good time to ask yourself whether you really need a full-size, truck-based SUV. Well, do you? Do you need to tow more than three tons? Do you need a maximum payload of over 1,500 pounds? If you answered no to these questions, they why are you even thinking of wasting this truck's capabilities on commuting or people-hauling? There are less costly and more efficient vehicles out there for those jobs, including crossovers, minivans, and even the 2009 Ford Flex (we don't know what to call that vehicle yet).

  1. 2008 Expedition EL

    By Earl Wells | Posted: Jan 17th 2009, 03:16:55 PM

    The poor gas mileage comments for the expedition EL are unwarranted. The gas mileage one attains is closely related to the driving style one uses. I just completed a 4000 mile trip that included mountains, plains, headwinds, tailwinds and all in bewteen. The EXP had 12,500 miles on the odometer at the start, a fresh oil change (5-20 FORD oil), MOS2 oil additive with approx 500 pounds of misc on board. Speed was 65 to 80 MPH. The gas mileage was between 18 and 19(MAX). Pretty good considering the weight and wind resistance. City/highway mix never gets below 16 MPG

  2. 2008 Expedition EL I agree

    By Andrew Genovese | Posted: May 25th 2009, 09:15:08 PM

    People who complain about poor gas mileage for a vehicle this size are morons. I just completed a trip from Arizona to upstate NY. I had my Expedition fully loaded with a 5,000LB U Haul trailer in tow. I got on average 16MPG for the trip. I usually get between 18-19 with a mixture of road and freeway driving without a trailer. This vehicle has great gas mileage for its size.
