At least until you try to squeeze through traffic or tuck into a tight parking spot. The only downside was a tendency for the Expedition to wallow at the rear in sharp turning maneuvers.Дespite its bulk, the Expedition is easy to drive like a car. A smooth, refined ride more like a car than a truck. A third row of seats with enough room for actual humans and that fold nicely into the floor.
