How many miles on your 2nd Gen Ford Expedition?

[John863]

As I've shared in earlier posts, my '03 Expedition is about to hit 200,000 miles. I bought it new in '02 and it's been the best and most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. It's been well maintained mechanically and I'm planning to keep it. I'm cleaning it up cosmetically now and am probably going to invest in new tires and shocks soon. But at some point, one has to wonder what the 2nd Gen's life expectancy is and therefore how much money should I invest in it.

So, I'm curious how many miles have other 2nd Gen owners have racked up on their Expeditions?

2003 XLT 5.4 347,000 miles and going strong. Routine maintenance and replacement of OM spark plugs and ignition coils as well as all other routine maintenance parts with performance quality parts. In doing so accentuating the overall power that the Triton block is able to deliver. Only major repair was the entire front end suspension because OM parts became worn out and failing, but also due partially from the coastal climate effects.

Damn dude, I'm at 230k here.

Had to replace water pump and intake manifold. I keep striking out with garbage quality ignition coil packs and have had to replace those twice within about 12-14 months or so.

Other than that, everything's great.

Try performance quality ignition coils and double platinum spark plugs, promise the engine will thank you.

Bugatti32 - Hoping I get as many miles out of mine as you have with yours. Like you, I've kept up with the routine maintenance and have replaced the OM plugs & coils. Plus, I did the front-end rebuild and front wheel bearings. Just did new shock / spring strut assemblies all around last month. At 200,000 miles she still runs strong and rides nice.

‘04 EB with 98,000. 2nd owner, purchased 4 yrs ago with 81,000 miles. Other than a chunk of plastic that broke off inside the passenger side valve cover (thought I broke a valve spring), belt tensioner and pulleys, it’s been a rust issue with this one. EXPY grew up in Illinois and now lives in Wisconsin. Had to replace rocker panels on both sides as well as the rad support..no spark plugs yet..

That a pretty sharp color combo! Love the rims and the bull bar. With you living up in the land of the big snow, do you have a front snow plow attachment?

Thx, no plow, I live in the city so just need to do the driveway with my snowblower...
