I own a 2008 early 3rd gen XLT Expedition with 165,000 miles on it, live in the rust belt, and hit a deer with this vehicle and I have to say that overall it has been a reliable truck. Of couse it has had a few problems as it has gotten older so I'll name some. Power windows break from time to time, the exhaust manifold only on the passenger side has a known warping problem, the torque converter in the transmission is starting to shutter around 40mph which is comon complant around this mileage and needs replacement, has a faulty tire sensor in the spare and can give off a false low tire pressure warning from time to time, a cheap plastic T fiting that connects the hot engine coolant to the rear heater core cracked, and lastly the paint had rust contamintion from the factory and causes premature paint failure on aluminum parts like the hood and tailgate. Even with the paint and other problems, structurally and mechanically everything still works good.

I did replace factory Struts with Monroes and man it rode better than it did while new. Drivers side window regulator and the rear actuator went out. But I replaced original plugs at 117,000 miles along with a coil pack. So tell me if I haven't gotten my money's worth out of this Suv. I would buy another if they put V8s back in them.

I looked hard at the 2014 Expedition as a used vehicle in Canada, but opted for it's cousin, the Navigator "L", built by Ford's Lincoln division. Most of the mechanics of the vehicle are identical, along with the interior layout. Same F-150 frame, engine, transmission and everything else that makes it go down the road. Same power, load and towing ability. The Navigator has a number of standard upgrades above the Expedition and I found that the two models were priced competitively in the used market. The Navigator will provide you with additional body sound proofing, heated and cooled seats, premium leather interior, real wood interior accents, a better infotainment system and back-up camera, power liftgate, pwr folding seats and power sunroof. Navigator comes standard with the "air ride" suspension system and power running boards. Navigators are fairly rare in Canada, so you may have to do some extensive searching to find a low mileage in great shape, but is worth the hunt.

The stories are true. Replaced my engine at 162,000 km due to timing chain tensioner failure, which cause camshaft bearing failure. These engines are completely intolerant of poor maintenance (ask any Ford technician), so my advice is to stay away if you cannot verify oil changes were done on time.

It is an excellent suv with an excellent engine. Yes, the key is to get a well maintained one; a poorly maintained 5.4 triton that didn’t have regular oil changes can be a problem.. don’t get the eco boost unless you like turbos constantly going on and off... and the new ones have 10 SPEED transmissions, so the revs are always low and the turbo cant make up its mind... 2014 is the last real year of a big American v8 suv...
