The third-generation Ford Expedition (U324) debuted for 2007 on the new T1 platform, sharing its fully boxed frame with the F-150. A key feature was its independent rear suspension, which provided a significant improvement in ride quality and handling over its live-axle predecessors. Early models were powered exclusively by the 5.4L 3-valve Triton V8, but a 2015 refresh introduced the more powerful and efficient 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6, which became the sole engine choice.
While not a traditional collector vehicle, the 3rd-gen Expedition is valued for its blend of capability, space, and modern engineering. Its body-on-frame construction and up to 9,200-pound tow rating make it a go-to choice for towing and hauling. Top-tier trims like the King Ranch and Platinum offered near-luxury features, and the extended-length EL (later MAX) model provided cavernous cargo room. The 2015-2017 facelifted models with the EcoBoost engine are the most desirable for their performance advantage.
Buying Tips
- On 2007-2014 models, listen for a diesel-like ticking noise from the 5.4L V8, which often indicates failing cam phasers.
- For 2015-2017 models, a rattling sound on a cold start can signal a stretched timing chain on the 3.5L EcoBoost V6, a common and expensive repair.
- Check for rust on the frame rails, rocker panels, and the bottoms of the doors and liftgate, especially on vehicles from northern climates.
- If equipped with the optional air suspension, ensure the vehicle sits level and listen for the compressor running excessively, which could mean there's a leak in the system.
- Test drive to confirm the 6-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, as harsh shifts can point to valve body or solenoid problems.
