Article comments for First Drive: 2007 Ford Expedition - Skyrocketing fuel costs have reduced the large SUV market from 1 million units in 2004 to an estimated 650,000 this year. Retaining market share in this climate means offering more and selling it for less. Ford, apparently, has figured this out. (more)

#19 of 38 2007 Expedition Blue Tooth by sirraf Oct 07, 2006 (6:07 pm)
Does anyone know if the new 2007 Expedition has Blue Tooth capablity? I saw the new Expedition but the Sales person had no idea if you could get it with Blut Tooth. Replies to this message: dec7 (Oct 08, 2006 6:14 pm)

Replying to: sirraf (Oct 07, 2006 6:07 pm) It does not. You can purchase a Ford accessory (Mobile-Ease), but it's not as functional or clear as several after market products made by Motorola and others. While I don't like add on accessories, if you do choose to add Bluetooth capability to the '07 Expedition, your best bet may be Best Buy/Circuit City/etc.
#21 of 38 More Horsepower? by cldawson1 Oct 12, 2006 (7:55 am)
The Ford Expedition is a very nice vehicle. Is there more horsepower looming in the future. The 6.8L V10 would drop in nicely. Replies to this message: skiddoodle (Oct 15, 2006 12:26 pm)

Replying to: cldawson1 (Oct 12, 2006 7:55 am) i don't think that the vehicle in the picture is an EL. notice the space behind the 3rd row - it is minimal, like the regular length truck. I have an 07, trading up from a 97. The 07 interior is noticeably tighter than the first generation body style. The second row seats are fixed, and the auto seat adjustment (option) automatically sends the drivers seat back when the key is removed, further squishing the fixed space in the 2nd row. I used to keep all three of my kids booster seats in the second row of my 97, and had no problem getting in and buckling them all up, now it's very hard to do. Head rests are fixed, and can't be removed, so if you want an obstruction free interior for lane changes and the like, you have to work around it. Otherwise, it's a sweet machine.
#23 of 38 Blue Tooth? by sirraf Oct 18, 2006 (9:44 am)
I saw the 2007 Expedition today and was wondering if it came with Blue Tooth? The salesman didn't know and the Ford Web site does not give any information regarding the Blue Tooth. Although you can get Blue Tooth on the Navigator. Does anyone know if you can get Blue Tooth with the 2007 Expedition? Replies to this message: beach15 (Oct 18, 2006 4:48 pm)

Replying to: sirraf (Oct 18, 2006 9:44 am) No, no Ford vehicle does yet from the factory, but according to one statement someone at Ford made, there should either be a dealer-installed version or some different aftermarket ones that can be done easily. They're working on it, but it's not yet a regular feature for most of their vehicles.
#25 of 38 Re: WHY ARE OTHER CARS MPG TRASHED????? [bmwluvr] by bwillis2006 Nov 04, 2006 (12:46 pm)
Replying to: bmwluvr (Aug 12, 2006 4:33 pm) That is true but there are more SUV's out there compared to the number of Gallardo's or AMG's. People are probably trying to help the majority first (SUV's) but ya once the SUV's begin to get better gas mileage they should def. consider fixin the cars with sucky mpg.
#26 of 38 JUst drove it and LOve it by ccap Nov 04, 2006 (6:26 pm)
I just brought homean 07 EXP t show the wife. She si sick of the minivan thing and wants another vehicle. She likes it also and for waht you get for the price compared to others in this class, the Ford takes it hands down. I am waiting for my dealre to find me one that has what I want. Regarding the air suspension, is there really a difference. The new suspension on the 07 now is great. What will the air suspension bring to the table???
#27 of 38 Air Suspension by mschmal Nov 06, 2006 (7:59 am)
The biggest benefit of the Air Suspension is that it is auto leveling. This prevents the rear from "dragging" when you load up the truck. This is especially handy if you are towing. The air suspension also "kneels" the truck when it is stopped which could help you get into it if the truck's height is a problem. Ford always loved air suspensions so people who owned lots of big Fords look for this feature. Mark.
#28 of 38 Good reviews by ckelly14 Nov 09, 2006 (2:04 am)
Initial reviews for the Expo look good. I'm wondering why the new Navigator is getting such poor reviews? Same car, more gadgets, different (and perhaps more offensive) sheet metal. Perhaps it's the competition? I'm looking for a large SUV, with all the gadgets, that can tow greater than 6000 lbs. Lack of fold flat seats is almost a deal breaker. That leaves the Durango/Aspen, Armada/QX56, Expedition/Navigator.
