2008 Ford Expedition Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...There's good legroom and headroom there for adults, and both seat types have reclining backrests. The middle section of the split-bench seat can slide forward 11 inches to make it easier to tend to a small child from the front seats. Unlike the Tahoe and Toyota Sequoia, where the third row is removable, the Expedition's optional 60/40-split third row can fold flat into the floor when not in use. Power-folding operation for the third row is available. The Tahoe's third row is best left for kids, but the Expedition's can accommodate adults with ease.

2008 Ford Expedition Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The Expedition EL offers 131 cubic feet of volume. All the extra length goes to the cargo area, so the EL's third row is no larger than the regular Expedition's, though it is admirably accommodating. The King Ranch has Chaparral leather not found on other trim levels, with a King Ranch logo debossed in the backrests. Wood trim appears on the gear selector, instrument panel and switch bezels.

Why should I also consider these?
Gas prices...gas prices, moan, complain...woe are we.
This is a good time to ask yourself whether you really need a full-size, truck-based SUV.
Well, do you? Do you need to tow more than three tons? Do you need a maximum payload of over 1,500 pounds? If you answered no to these questions, they why are you even thinking of wasting this truck's capabilities on commuting or people-hauling? There are less costly and more efficient vehicles out there for those jobs, including crossovers, minivans, and even the 2009 Ford Flex (we don't know what to call that vehicle yet).
