I'd imagine the only system that would differ from the Expedition would be the air ride. Are they notorious for being huge pieces of crap? Or do you just replace the bags and air compressor every so often and Rock Auto is you holy savior?
Just being curious, I am finding a few near me that are cheap AF. I mean worst case scenarios is the air system fails then I have to Cali Lean 4 lyfe. 
update in title. I like the 07+ body style better and it's easier to find a clean model than a older one. |

I just replaced the air-ride on my wife's Navigator with real shocks/springs. . .after replacing the bags and the compressor and still having trouble with it.

any big changes from 2006 to 2008?
I have two I narrowed it down to. Both are clean AF 2006 has 95k and asking $9500 2008 has 150k and asking $10,500 55k more miles and 1k more. I think the 2006 is the better deal. Unless there is a major change beyond cosmetic I don't know about/. |

My wife has an '08 that we got new in '09, it was unsold stock, and got a great deal.
Currently 135K, and doing pretty good. It has had its share of problems over the years, but they didn't affect drivability. The seat heaters and A/C units failed a few times, $800 each to replace. Electric window motors failed. Video system (dealer, not factory) failed. Few other nuisance issues. Have done all the routine p/m, including all the hi mileage stuff, and she shows no signs of slowing down. |

Let me put it this way,.... ask them if they had the $1000 spark lug change yet. If they give you a  look, keep on walking. There have been three class action lawsuits related to just the F150, all of which were shared parts with the Expedition.

About 5 years ago I bought a cheap 96 Explorer LTD. The air ride worked perfectly with no issues at all. Stupid stepson loaded it with 3000lbs of crap, maybe 4k Quote HistoryQuoted:

Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban/escalade is better in every way imaginable. There's a reason why the resale value is so much higher.

Well. the ride isn't as good, the seats aren't as comfy, their transmissions (sans the escalades) are shit, the 5.3 has lifter issues, their interiors don't hold up as well. Better fuel economy on the GMs? I would have to agree with out if I were buying an Escalade. |

It's true that the 4l60e transmission is garbage, but they're not expensive to repair/replace compared to other transmissions. The 09+ models have the 6 speed, which is MUCH better. Overall, I'd much rather deal with the minor issues of the 5.3 vs the Ford 5.4. Then again, there's also Toyota. How does a loaded Sequoia of a similar year compare? |

The Seqoia is at least 3k more for the same year and mileage. I really just need the navi to last a few years. What about a LS swap in a navigator? Lol |
