What the figures tell you
It runs the 5.4L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Rated at 14.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 44 litres for a 300 km round trip. Every 100 km costs about $22.79 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
What the Expedition is like
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Expedition answers the big questions. A test week in the Expedition tells you more than any review. Drive the Expedition on your commute before you commit to it.
Which one to look for
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$4,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
