Amazingly, the Expedition is pretty nimble for its size, thanks to its independent suspension and improved steering. It drives smaller than it is, and makes for a pleasing highway ride, as long as you can ignore the wind noise and horrid brakes that would displease Fred Flintstone. As far as ride quality goes, you don’t feel a thing when you drive the Expedition. The sheer size and weight of the vehicle combine with its independent front and rear suspension for a smooth ride that absorbs, no, squashes bumps and pot holes.
