The F-150 of SUVs—a massive, body-on-frame people-hauler that can tow your house. The 5.4L 3V is a cam-phaser disaster; the 3.5L EcoBoost is a rocket ship; the new models are aluminum-bodied and reliable. It's a bus with a V6 turbo.
Full-size body-on-frame SUV—essentially an F-150 with a permanent enclosed body. 1st gen (1997-2002) had the 4.6L or 5.4L Triton V8s (2-valve), 4R100 transmission. 2nd gen (2003-2006) got the 5.4L 3V (300 hp) and IRS (Independent Rear Suspension). 3rd gen (2007-2017) had the 5.4L 3V (310 hp) or the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (365 hp in 2015+), 6-speed 6R80. 4th gen (2018-2026) is all-aluminum body, 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (375 hp), 10-speed 10R80, and available FX4 off-road package.
The 4.6L and 5.4L 2V are reliable—spark plugs blow out on the 5.4L but can be fixed with Time-Serts. The 5.4L 3V (2004-2010) is a nightmare for cam phasers—avoid. The 3.5L EcoBoost (Gen 1, 2011-2016) had timing-chain stretch and cam phaser issues. The 2017+ Gen 2 EcoBoost and 10R80 are much better—and the IRS means a smooth ride for a massive SUV. The Expedition is heavy—expect 14 mpg city even with the EcoBoost.
