Overall, we rated the build quality of the Ford Expedition as poor. Inside and out, there were just too many variations. Gaps were wide on the dash area, and didn’t match up. The shifter felt cheap and controls were hard to see at night. Black plastics look like they’d scuff easily, and vents that were state of the art two years ago when they were introduced on the Ford F-150 look dated now. Outside, gaps between the sheetmetal and plastic trim were gaping, and plastic molding on the sides looks as if it could come off pretty easily. All told, the Expedition could very well age quickly.
