I just bought an ‘04 Expedition from a dealership, it has 123,000 miles on it but it’s immaculate on the inside. I LOVE IT!!!

[@shown2grow737]

04 with only 130k or less is amazing. I just got a 2007 with 154k. Love it!

[@ProudBostonian]

@@shown2grow737 I love my truck immensely, however it does have SOME issues. The main ones being a water leak coming from either the rear window or the back glass. It also has some weird electrical issues like the “Door ajar” light being on despite the door being closed, also recently the “Check Fuel Cap” message comes on even though I have already replaced the fuel cap a few months ago. Also the check engine light comes on as a result of the fuel cap issue. I know it needs shocks as well as maybe struts. It also appears to be burn some oil but I do not see or smell any burning oil. I just have to take some time and go through it. It’s 20 years old for crying out loud haha I paid $6,000 for it (yes I know I over paid but it was a BHPH lot (Buy Here Pay Here) and it was last year when ALL VEHICLES WERE AND STILL ARE OVERPRICED JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THANKS TO CURRENT REGIME IN THE WHITE HOUSE. I do LOVE that 5.4L V8 and the truck overall!!!

[@austinconaway3314]

I have an 05 looks identical to that 04, mine was also garage kept in northern Kentucky, a few dings n dents, it runs like a top at 200 thousand. Transmission was rebuilt, driving like a grandma I was able to get 22.4 mpg.

[@austinconaway3314]

The top of the engine looks different that both of those also

[@stratstafford2167]

Buying 03 today. thank you for the video very in depth

[@0rnery]

I'm buying an '03 today! How's yours holding up? After owning an 06 Explorer for the last ten years, I specifically wanted the 5.4L 2V. But, I'm disappointed in the number of features missing in the Eddie Bower trim of this year. No heated seats, no navigation... Seems that trim was just a starting point for options. Ours is being shipped from S. Carolina to us in Cleveland. Haven't seen it in person yet. 119K, so I'm hoping she's pretty well intact. Got big plans for a thorough detail, rust proof, and tune up. Betting plugs (and everything else) are still original, but we'll see...

Thanks Joe

Great video

Nicely built cars!

[@marlowswindow]

5.4 Triton will run forever with regular maintenance.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

This one sure does run good

[@monicagross5131]

@@JoesGoldenGarage I just brought 2008 ford expedition Eddie bauer it has a 267,000 miles on it runs good I'm bless to have it

[@DennisBurger-hc3ie]

The reason why they look different on top of the engine is one 5.4 is a 2 valve version while the other is the 3 valve engine, there’s a big difference in horsepower between the two, the 5.4 2 valve only put out 260 horsepower while the 3 valve makes 310 horsepower in 2013, if you miss any service intervals with that 2013 the 2 valve will live a lot longer then the 3 valve

[@charless6136]

Makes me miss the '99, That thing was fun in the rain with bald rear tires. Factory Lsd and quite nimble for it's size, made for some excellent hoonage

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Lol. This 13 has been traded away now

[@alpacino0023]

I have 2008 limted with 450000 km on it . The engine and gearbox are in factory condition I used 5w30 focus titan oil . Great car and great sound when removed resonator

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

What I didn't know is that the 2011 3rd Generation Ford Expedition SUV'S how did the XLT Premium replaces the Eddie Bauer edition models

[@mojorisin7317]

I own a 2011 XLT premium with 250k miles on it. Only run full synthetic and change all fluids before necessary. They really run forever if maintained properly. The extended model will feel quicker as it as a 3.73 rear end vs a 3.31 for the regular sized version. These vehicles are easy to work on if necessary and are a beast in the snow and tow a whopping 9k lbs. I would definitely recommend if a big suv is needed especially over a Tahoe and Armada which are plaqued with problems. I've talked to numerous owners of these vehicles and they have many issues to complain about. Only the Sequoia is a admirable replacement. If only Ford put the 5.0 V8 motor instead of the ecoboost 6 cylinder. The 5.4 is a great standard motor for the time but Ford should have offered the 6.2 as a option and standard in the Navigator. Most people that own big suvs like trucks are not primarily concerned with fuel economy as they are about power, comfort, driveability, visibility, towing and storage.

[@smeakers4411]

The 04 5.4 is a dual overhead cam and from 07 and up the 5.4 switched to single overhead cam. That's why they look different 👍

[@truevtx1800rider]

They never put the DOHC in the expedition. Those were in Lincoln navigators. The ‘04 is 16 valve(2v per cylinder). The ‘13 is a 24 valve(3v per cylinder) with variable cam timing. They are both single over head cam(SOHC). The ‘04 also has the old 4 speed transmission. The ‘13 has a newer 6 speed transmission.

[@przemysawknigawka1898]

@@truevtx1800rider yes and the 04 will run foreve if you keep a good maintenance.

[@entropy8000]

The navigator 03/04 was DOHC

[@andrewstanley903]

I’d love to upgrade to one of these from a 2010 Versa.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

I loved my 2010 versa! Bought one new

[@wickedsoul9996]

I have an 03 Eddie Bauer expedition with 280,000 miles and it will take a beating and still running like new these trucks will last you forever only thing I’ve done oil change and spark plugs

[@nakiapollard4093]

Still got her?

[@Parabola_PJ]

Love the Video. I have a 06 KR. Everyone thinks it has the 06 in it. Dropped a new ford performance in it but kept it sounding as stock. Anyone know of a good KR bath video tutorial/need some help with one seat cleanin - Lariot Leather ver. Thanks New Sub!!

[@joespittle1]

You should consider buying a GoPro with a head or chest mount. It looks like you struggle sometimes and it would take so much stress out of stuff like popping a hood or starting a car :)

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Joe Spittle I have a new go pro 5 in a box but I would never get around to uploading to my computer and then to u tube. It’s easier to just use iMovie and upload right then. I do it usually just a few minutes after I take video. I need a good selfie stick

[@joespittle1]

@@JoesGoldenGarage That makes sense, and phones have such good cameras nowadays it makes more expensive cameras redundent

Joe Spittle That it does indeed

[@alpacino0023]

I have 2008 and it has clutch fan like 2006

[@nathanstock7368]

I believe all models made after like 09 has aluminum heads.

[@punkloserorama]

gonna buy some SUV this weekend and can't decide whether it should be 03 Expedition/03 Navigator/97 Tahoe/05 Tahoe...

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

I tell ya. I owned a 2003 expedition w/130k. It was good. I owned a 2005 aviator w/120k. A bomb 💣 One owner with all service records immaculate but it was the biggest piece of shit. Then I bought for $700 a 2002 Chevy suburban that my brother-in-law bought new. It had 240 K and it was the best truck I’ve ever owned. It leaked a little oil but it did not require any repairs while I owned it

[@punkloserorama]

@@JoesGoldenGarage thanks a lot! i also lean more to Chevy side even though they don't have the option to open the windows in the trunk(need it for my dogs) i also see that tahoes and suburbans are less corroded for some reason.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

@@punkloserorama well since I am in GA I never have to think about rust. I accidentally bought a Ohio excursion a few yrs ago without a look see......omg the rust. I learned. It had snuck into GA somehow.

the 04 is a 2 valve triton while the 13 is a 3 valve triton.

Thank u! Is the 13 better?

[@alanluna3765]

Actually the 03 was the last 2v

[@byronturner25]

The 2013 is a 3v and the 04 is a 2v people prefer the 2v over the 3v

[@jjmelchor5499]

The 04 is a suv Version of the 04 through 08 f150
