The "A" build 2004s had the reverse fold down mirrors (which I have). Now they don't have themon the later build. I don't know what else changed.
My early build 2004 has the dirty brake pads ( I use Kleen Wheel Shields) A noisy muffler (They replaced) and an intermittent thump from the sub-woofer speaker( they replaced the amp) but it's coming back again.
So far 19k miles.
My 2000 had absolutely nothing wrong in 76000 miles.

I also had no problems with my 2000. My new 04 has the infamous rear end whine at 60mph plus. Do you think the new Expedition has a rougher highway ride than your 2000? Mine handles like a dream, but rides much "choppier".

When did they change to the new body style? '03? The older style Expy's have/had their problems but it seems with this new style and all of the new drive-train components, there are a ton of bugs that need to be worked out. Anyways, it looks to me like the older style Expy is actually bigger than the newer. Plus, I can't believe how much the new ones cost! Good grief!

If you go to Yahoo and search under AUTOS. They have a REVIEWS option. You can get a lot of reviews from major sources on any vehicle you want.

I've got an 03 EB 4x4. I don't know the exact build date, but I think it is somewhere in mid summer 03. I bought it on Labor Day 03. I have not had any of the problems mentioned so far, except the brake dust issue, but it still only has about 8000 miles on it. Has a couple of minor rattles, but so far so good. Rides nice on the freeway, and tows pretty good as well.
