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.

Change out the rear diff fluid & that will elimate 1 possible problem. It could also be the rear e-brake linnings....

Hey, Mine was doing that at 104K miles, what it sounds like is planetary(spider) gears in the diff(carrier). When you pull the cover check the teeth on the little gears in the center of the diff. Also check for wear on the shaft(s). Randys ring & pinion sells a complete kit with instructions on their website..Not too tough a job, just stinky and oily messy. Hope that helps.
