Ford Expedition True expeditions require additional transportation conveyances: horses, boats, cars, for example. With a towing capacity around 9,000 pounds, the Ford Expedition can tow any of these. Ford adds a new top end King Ranch model for 2008, as well as an available rear backup camera and power-retractable running boards. The Expedition is meant for utility, not posing.

Default Severe Vibration In Steering Wheel

I own a 2002 Ford Expedition 4x4 with full-time AWD and it has about 65k miles on it. There is SEVERE vibration in the steering wheel only from 50-65 miles per hours. This is a persistent problem. I cannot feel any vibration or wobbling in the brake or throttle pedals. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Vibration in that speed range is usually the sign of an unbalanced tire. But it could also be play in the steering. Start with the tires since that's the least expensive.

Try shifting to neutral and see if the problem goes away.

The tires were out of balance and a balance completely corrected the problem. THANK YOU!
