2004 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer

The 2004 Expedition is Ford's full-size SUV, the one you'd cross-shop with a Tahoe or Sequoia when you need three rows and serious towing. On the road it feels big but steady, with a ride that soaks up bumps well, though you'll always know you're piloting something substantial. Inside, the cabin is genuinely roomy, with three rows that fold flat and plenty of cup holders, plus available rear climate controls and a DVD player. Owners report these Expeditions hold up well over time, with some noting the engine light can come on without the truck ever dying. The Eddie Bauer is the one you pick when you want the Expedition's capability plus a more dressed-up cabin, while the XLT keeps things simpler and costs less. Under the hood is a 5.4L V8 making 260 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, paired with a four-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which means it pulls a trailer confidently but returns 13 mpg combined.
