1998 Expedition Overlander

Shouldn’t Expeditions be used for….expeditions?

You don’t find a lot of Ford Expeditions that are built for adventure, but it’s cool on those rare occasions that you do. Obviously, any time I find something like this, I have to share it.

This 1998 Ford Expedition XLT 4X4 was built by someone that obviously had an interest in exploring remote areas. It was listed for sale on the Portland Oregon Craigslist in April of 2017 for $13,000.

The owner states:

This rig is ready to go. Extremely reliable and has never left us stranded. It has always been garaged and never smoked in. Needs absolutely nothing. Interior has no rips or tares. I’m not looking to trade.

Hopefully the new owner gave it a beefier bumper, and is using the Expedition for some back country adventures.
