Hello everyone! I'm looking for some tips from other Expedition owners. This is my first ever Expedition. And what a beast it is! One owner, 170K miles, well maintained and garage kept. Dark blue with beige interior. What are some things that I might want to look out for? The lady that I bought it from keep the vehicle serviced but seemed to know little else. I purchased the Carfax before my purchase and it was a good clean report on the vehicle. I was thinking of switching to synthetic oil when I change the oil soon. Any thoughts on that? I've had this vehicle now for over a week, gave it good detail cleaning (wasn't very dirty, to begin with) and have put about 250 miles on it. Strong engine, drives and handles well, and everything is in good working order. This vehicle is not my everyday driver. I had sold my old camper as I was pulling that camper with a Honda Odyssey. The Ody did the job but it is not designed to tow anything really. This Expedition will mostly be used for towing the boat to the boat ramp and for towing a camper when we find another one that we can afford.
