I have an 07 with 270,000 miles on it (just rolled over today actually haha), I put new exhaust manifolds on it which costed me my top layer of skin but must say I absolutely love the truck. Worth every bit of work I put into it, feel like I'm classy in jt
I am very surprised at 07-17 expedition el's performance. I drove hummers,denalis,and escalades & they do not compare far as utility & dependability. I did my research on the triton. I am a HEMI man, but the triton is another well built american engine. Its very functional & well balanced. You definitely feel like your in a "biggfoot" monster truck. Because its a different feeling from the other guys. Most of all, you have many parts for this truck, you can easily find anything you need. Very well built & very masculine. Every ford truck virtually built off the same platform in these model years. Very easy to repair & you can give it a personal touch with aftermarket components to make it stand out, or you can ride this thing thru swamps & dunes if you have the right wheels & aerodynamics. The steering is by far the smoothest & the truck is very agile like ballerina. The space is a miniature RV feel, I call it my "office space" the 3rd row is the biggest I ever seen because of the positioning of mechanisms underneath the floor. Pull out the laptop, ignite a fine cuban and sit comfortably like an arabian KING!!!
I was having a tough time picking between the 07 SUV line. But then I went through the tow rating of each 07 SUV and I think the 07 ford expedition v8 4x4 is a steal for being under 10k with decent miles esp with that tow rating. Definitely gonna be a vehicle I will purchase.
That's a great choice for the money. Don't be afraid to go a little further back to a 2010 Infiniti QX56...they are incredibly nice inside and have awesome quality. They're my favorite in this price range
Eddies were discontinued by FoMo. No 3rd gen Eddies, FYI. We are going to run our 07 Expy until doors fall off. Love the V8 and outstanding ride quality.
Scott Bradley yes $3k is a steal if it was well maintained and not beat up. 5.4 v8 is solid and 6 speed tranny is smooth. Maybe 16 Mpg city..if you want high MPG buy small and low to ground car..This is a truck with body on frame structure.
Actually, it does and it's a significant feat of engineering which is widely copied to this day - per Edmunds.com "By running the rear driveshafts through the frame rails, engineers were able to lower the floor, and this allows even adults to sit comfortably in the third row. Legroom is unchanged from the regular Expedition, but the EL offers 42.6 cubic feet of luggage space with the third row in use."
@@everycarSeattle nah, the EL only adds room to the trunk. The third row is exactly the same size as the shorter version. Yukon XLs and Suburbans do have more room in the 3rd row than the Tahoe and Yukon.
+brandon Perez They have a different personality than GM products, but every time I drive one around I just love how they drive, they always sell fast and they rarely have expensive headaches. They're not perfect, but they're not very expensive either, especially a few years old.
I have a 2007 Expedition EL Limited with heavy duty tow package, which was best in class in 2007 for full size SUV. If the known issues are dealt with this vehicle is hard to beat for the price and functionality. Even with over 200k miles it should sell for $15k. Great video - thanks
I just purchased an expedition on 12/19/14...in no part due to this video! I would strongly suggest that this sales person KNOW THE VEHICLE YOU ARE SELLING! the reason there is so much room in the third row seat is NOT due to "splitting the drive mechanism"....what???? It is due to the SUSPENSION!! GM products use a live rear axle as opposed to the independent suspension on ford products. Wow...please due your research!!
Mr. Vincent Washington sir, It's actually a significant feat of engineering which is widely copied to this day - per Edmunds.com "By running the rear driveshafts through the frame rails, engineers were able to lower the floor, and this allows even adults to sit comfortably in the third row. Legroom is unchanged from the regular Expedition, but the EL offers 42.6 cubic feet of luggage space with the third row in use." See, I did my homework after all. :)

That's right, it has a modified "split" driveshaft that allows enough space underneath the car to enable the 3rd row seats to fold flat...a HUGE benefit for 2007 Ford EL's.
The Fast Lane with Joe Tunney Okay. I was doing a bunch of research and I was ready to call BS. But now I see. The axles shafts, not the driveshaft, go through holes in the frame. The independent rear suspension saves interior space as opposed to the solid axle of an Escapade for example. I understand now. Thanks
Nobody believed me on that one apparently - per Edmunds.com "By running the rear driveshafts through the frame rails, engineers were able to lower the floor, and this allows even adults to sit comfortably in the third row.

Everyone got so mad about this one and I was only quoting Edmunds.com - so let's check in with TopSpeed and see what they have to say after interviewing the chief designer of the vehicle - "Ford’s patented porthole-through-frame design allows the DRIVE SHAFTS to feed through the frame rails, lowering the center of gravity for better ride and handling and maximizing passenger space in the third-row seat." So, not only are they DRIVE SHAFTS, they are patented to boot. So I typed in google to see if others could corroborate this finding and voila - Ford’s patented porthole-through-frame design allows the DRIVE SHAFTS to feed through the frame rails, lowering the center of gravity for better ride and handling and maximizing passenger space in the third-row seat." - hmm...I'm starting to think they might be DRIVE SHAFTS.

These Ford Expedition EL which stands for Extended Length Which reminds me of the Ford Excursion that's built on a Ford F250 Super Duty chassis
Ford Excursion is the best SUV ever produced. Ford Expedition is great too, especialy long version.
Published on Jan 28, 2008
2007 Ford Expedition EL = in San Francisco, CA
It was a good truck, but unfortunately with today’s shit gas prices, a Ford Excursion is something you want to avoid unless you have a lot of money
Independent suspension is what allows the flat floor. Expedition was the innovator and finally last year Chevy followed suit

Wow....didnt know that EB's were discontinued. What was the last model year for the package?
What is the current selling price for a 07 expedition EL with 90k miles? Thanks
Como arreglo fallo en la asmision
The extended length doesn't do anything for the 2nd & 3rd row space. The length is only for the cargo space.

@@everycarSeattle It's also because of the independent rear suspension, something GM doesn't have yet. But starting in 2020 they will.

Just bought me a 07 Eddie Bauer edition for the price of 4.3k in Texas. It drives flawless for the milage and really spacious SUV.

EL's have such a different personality than standard models. They look more expensive and timesless...and either model will literally run forever
@@everycarSeattle Well said. True
Mr. Tunny how many miles that 2007 experdition has on it. Tex me back
The 3 valve Triton engine can be a problem if they are not well maintained with timely oil changes.
I need 2015 used how much
A really nice one with lower miles can be had for under $25000. A nice one with higher miles is under $20000
id buy a 2007 long is it didnt have over four hundered thousand miles things go wrong when they get to that
Get a buyer's inspection at the Ford dealer before you buy and whatever the miles - if it passes - then go ahead and pull the trigger.
I'm finding 07 ford expeditions with 100,000-140,000 miles for less than $10k but then again don't know where you live.

He thinks axles are drive shafts.
cant find anywhere on internet ,,WIDTH of CARGO AREA
Cargo Box Width @ Wheelhousings (iin) 49.2 - just look up an '08 model...Ford didn't release all of the dimensions in 2007.
I'm sorry, I'm just not understanding what you are saying about the "drive mechanisms". Are you trying to say it has no conventional driveshaft?

same truck with loads of rust and quarter million miles right now is like 15 grand......stupid
