The Expedition is listed in 2018's Longest Lasting Vehicle List

[cmiles97]

My new job has me driving my own vehicle for business with reimbursement and I was thinking of adding either a small new cheap car or used prius to offset the mileage I'm racking up. Started doing some research on what would be long lasting cheap cars and found this article. I guess I shouldn't have to worry about racking up those miles after all.

The expedition is #2 in the 200,000 mile club and tied for #2 in the 300,000 mile club. That's great!

That's great & all but like you said.... that gas milage is something to heavily consider in your situation, these things cant even break the 20 mpg easily.

These studies are mostly on older Expeditions, doesn’t really reflect the newer ones. The Tundra is likely largely unchanged as it uses the same engine and trans. The Expedition no longer uses the engines or transmissions that got it the #2 spot.

I guess what I’m getting at is, don’t go buying a 2018 thinking it’s as durable as a 2004.....because it’s not. Lots less metallic and steel parts and lot more plastic and aluminum.

I’ve got a 2017, the last of gen 3. Also before buying I checked out the 3.5 eco boost on the f150 forums. There’s a guy there that used his for towing and gave it to his son with around 366,000 problem free miles on it. Also 2 companies I have worked for use ford for their work vans, trucks & sales cars. No issues with the ecoboost.

Although I agree the new generation of expedition hasn’t been out long enough to be on the list. It doesn’t mean it won’t be.

There are some crazy stories over there for longest lasting engines. We have a member here with an 05’ 5.4L expy with 500k on the original engine. Bought it new,record holder as far as I know here.

Well, this news is sanguine, since I just purchased a 'gently-used' 2013 a month or so ago.
Thanks cmiles for the link!

Mine is nearly 2 years old and is already busting through 18k miles.

Fake news. Six percent achieve 200,000 miles? Either a lot of these are wrapped around trees, or they're just making stuff up. I don't think I've ever seen an Expedition in a junkyard with less than 200,000 miles.

LoL... the national average is 15k miles a year... you're a little ways behind buddy, kinda defeating the porpoise of this thread

Priuses last forever too though... know plenty of taxi and uber drivers with 300+ on their clocks

The low % is just cause so many soccer moms and hipsters run them as 8k/year grocery getters

Yep the Prius is on the lists too. That's why I was looking into a used one as a mileage burner. Already looked into Hybrid Battery replacement. They are modular. Basically it's made up of many individual, replaceable batteries. Plus I've had 2 previously for work. Very solid dependable low maintenance cars. They just work. I'm a bit of a lead foot. It's funny the looks you get when passing others at highway speeds. So many speed up. Even driving like that I still got 48mpg.

Anyway as I approach 50,000 miles on my 2017, it was concerning it would have over 200,000 by the time it's paid off at this rate.

In the article:
according to research by iSeeCars.com, which analyzed 13.5 million cars sold in 2017

Used sales I presume?

THANK YOU Train.......guys...a little critical thinking here would be good.....seems like guys are reading and taking this at face value when the reality is, on the LONGEST lasting truck....only 6 out of 100 even make it that far. Think your odds are better?

Even worse, the %'s drop dramatically as you go down the list!

I have a 2008 Expedition Limited with 190,000 everything still original. Right now for the first time I’m about to do a engine overhaul so hopefully I’ll last me another 200,000 miles.

It wont last another 200,000 after an engine overhaul, everything else around the engine is going to fall apart piece by piece

I’m just doing the basic stuff like timing chain, tensioner, sprocket, and a better oil pump.

Might want to spring for a couple of Ford timing phasers. Your already in there, it sure would be a shame to have to do the timing area twice!

With good care and maintenance it will last a long time to come. Miles aren’t a bad thing. A truck that’s been driven and taken care of is better than one with lower mileage that hasn’t had the basics done.

Yes I wrote the wrong word (sprocket) lol, but yes. It’s definitely going on as well!!!
