Judging from its slightly revamped exterior, you might think little has changed on the 2003 Ford Expedition.
Thank goodness that's not the case.
Struggling to keep up with its recently redesigned competitors like the Toyota Sequoia and Chevy Tahoe, Ford knew its full-size SUV had to see major changes to compete in a tightly packed arena. It's less-than-spectacular engine, clumsy handling and cheap looking interior all became handicaps while the rest of the SUV world made giant leaps in refinement.
