2009 Ford Expedition Review

The 2009 Ford Expedition is sure to please buyers as it comes in eight varying trim levels. With a range of options and a ready supply of standard features, the Expedition is heads above the competition. However, its less than stellar fuel economy could be a drawback for some buyers. While this eight-passenger SUV certainly has a rugged appeal, its intro MSRP could put many buyers out their price range. But, with both 4X2 and 4X4 models, the Ford Expedition is adaptable to most driving demands.

Under the hood, all eight trims are equipped with a generous 310 horsepower 5.4L Triton V8. With 365 ft-lb of torque, the engine has more than enough power to get this SUV going. A six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on all trims as well. Independent rear suspension gives the Expedition a smoother ride than most of the comparables, and AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control keeps the model on its intended course without overturning. Privacy glass on the rear half of the 2009 Expedition gives the SUV protection from both the sun and uninvited eyes.

Inside, this 2009 Ford is packed with amenities. Rear-floor heat ducts keep third row passengers warm in cold weather, and an MP3 audio jack allows the driver to sync his or her music player with the Expedition's audio system. Electrochromic auto-dimming mirrors give drivers the best possible views, and power windows and locks are included as well. A remote keyless entry pad is located on the driver's side door, so owners no longer have to fumble for keys to gain entry. Also, three power points are located throughout the Expedition, so recharged an electronic device is quick and convenient.

is high on the list of priorities for the 2009 Ford Expedition. The base trim includes a tire pressure monitoring system, dual-stage front airbags, and a safety canopy system with side-curtain airbags for all three rows of seating. A body-on-frame construction makes the Expedition sturdier and less apt to give way in the event of a collision. The dual-stage front airbags deploy with only the force necessary during an accident, which can reduce the risk for further injuries.

max trailer weight for towing on the Expedition is around 6,000-lbs. This is sufficient, but some of the competitors have it beat. Also, 14 city MPG and 20 highway MPG is impressive for an eight-passenger model, comparable to that of the Volvo XC90, but some buyers will surely want flex-fuel capabilities or, at least, variable valve timing.

Overall, the 2009 Ford Expedition is a solid SUV with a great amount of potential. Buyers looking for the ultimate in luxury will need to upgrade to higher trim levels, which will boost the price significantly. With an intro MSRP of $32,820, the Expedition is comparably priced to the competition, but more modern features like tri-zone automatic climate control are not included on the base trim.
