I'm looking to get a reliable SUV for around $5k in NYC
I found this ad for a 2005 Expedition Eddie Bauer at 153k, which looks to be in great cosmetic shape. What does /o/ think?

Here's your (You), and only because of those dubs
You want a trued and true SUV get a Tahoe or a Suburban. IF you want something nicer than that get a Denali same shit just more elegant looking.
Pic related a 04 denali in chicago 5500 dollars.

Why do you want to dd a massive suv in a city?
Shut up and buy a civic.
Wants reliable
>Post Ford exploder
>>15191537
god, denalis are so fucking ugly
atleast the newer ones look a little better
>>15191543
>>15191530
expedition =! explorer
>>15191542
Because I actually stay in Northern NJ
>>15191543
>>15191530
I'm asking about an Expedition, not an Explorer
>>15191553
Still ford. Fucking idiot
>>15191537
I wouldn't mind a Tahoe/Denali, but the prices they're asking for one in this area are insane. I see many posts asking at least 10k for an '04 Tahoe
Anything?
>>15191554
So buy a civic and get snow tires.
>>15191569
If you can't afford the superior truck you can't afford to own any truck.

>>15191500
NYC? buy 5 geo metros
>>15191715
Oh I can afford it, I just think that an '04 truck with high miles shouldn't be posted at 10k.
Any other resources I can look into besides CL? If I can get a decent Tahoe, I'd get that instead.
Dad has an 00's Explorer, I know their different but Ford probably uses all of the same parts interior wise. So I'll give you a run down on what will go wrong eventually.

Anon, if you're really hellbent on buying an SUV...in NYC...then just get an Element. It can hold more than your Shitpedition, is more reliable, and not as big.
>>15191765
But I hate myself almost as much as the environment but not as much as I like funding big oil.

Kys my man
>>15191792
No transit so decided to start bus company. Starting with the biggest least reliable option.

i like those years, but if youre gonna go that big say fuck it and get a excursion with the diesel
>>15191689
It means he has a parking spot
Get a early 00s Tahoe/Yukon. Ford Trucks of that era were shite.
>>15191765
you see plenty of e250s and e350s here
what's the big deal
>>15191569
Drive out of state. They are cheaper the future out you go

How about this?
>>15192052
Nice wheel. I'm sure it was well taken care of.
This?

the ford transmissions actually hold up better than the 4l60e
only thing you gotta worry about is spark plugs poppin off
>>15192866
Spark plugs flying?
>>15192052
>http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/5586535959.html
beat to fuck
>>15192866
yeah but any moron can replace and rebuild 4l60e, they're ridiculously common transmissions. you could even realistically easily/cheaply buy a rebuilt one that's had most of its flaws fixed
i always felt like the rest of the truck surrounding the drivetrain was better on older GMs than Fords
>>15195135
OK, so pass on that Tahoe
Were ford trucks from this period really that unreliable?
>>15191500
>driving a GIGANTIC suv
>in THE most CROWDED city in the US
are you one of those people who can't actually drive properly and are buying it for the "road presence" or "safety" or some excuse to drive like total trash?
>>15195263
Wtf is up with people who don't read
OP says he's actually from NJ
>>15191537
>fullsize GM garbage
The Expedition is nothing special, but it is miles better than the GM equivalents.
>>15191500
driving with no winter tires in december
>>15195298
same shit different asshole, ignoring the whole thing about being a shit driver who's compensating by buying an SUV, and driving said SUV in the city for no other real reason
>>15192103
>boston.craigslist.org/gbs/ctd/5615541424.html
overpriced
>>15195356
Go back to /n/ or Reddit libcuck
>>15195356
people drive sprinters, transits, and econoline e250/350s here
who gives a fuck you liberal shithead
So hijacking this into an SUV thread
Durango, Tahoe or Expedition?
Thoughts and opinions?
>>15191500
Price seems too high. I paid $3k for an 01 with 95k. Its an ok truck, seems reliable enough, I've put 30k miles on it since and no problems with the engine or tranny, all I do is change the oil. Take it to the shop for the spark plugs, triton engines are so notorious for breaking them in the block that there's a special tool just for doing the spark plugs on them. Also the back ones are impossible to reach for a normal humans. Electrics are iffy, I have replaced a few switches that went bad. Fortunately all very cheap and easy to get on ebay since they are identical to F150 parts. Mine is actually literally just an F150 with the cab stretched all the way back and no bed. 05 is a different frame though but I imagine there's still a lot of parts commonality.
>>15196173
I haven't thought about Durango's. I'm going to do research on that right now...
this is now an SUV thread
>>15191500
>2000s full size Ford Truck/SUV
>reliable
Not even close.
>>15191569
>I wouldn't mind a Tahoe/Denali, but the prices they're asking for one in this area are insane.
There's good reason Expeditions are cheaper than comparable GM SUVs. The GMs are reliable, the Fords are not. If you have to drive out of state to get a comparable GM for what you'd normally pay for an Expedition, do it. Five years down the road when you're $200-300 into total repairs instead of $3,000+ you'll thank yourself.
>>15192866
>he ford transmissions actually hold up better than the 4l60e
While the 60e is indeed a weak point, I'd contest that. You see more Tahoes needing transmissions that Expeditions but you also see a LOT more Tahoes overall than you do Expeditions GM killed it on full size SUV sales. Neither of them seem to do great because lol 1/2 ton automatic but while I see people beating on Tahoes needing a transmission at 160k I also see people babying Expeditions and needing one at 100k.
>>15195263
People that can't drive buy tiny cars because they're easy mode.
>>15196173
Tahoe.
>>15197843
So Tahoe it is... but I did see some decently priced Escalades out of state. I'll start looking at different cities.
>>15198165
Escalades are just as good as Tahoes, but more comfy.
