Full-size SUV · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 2012 Ford Expedition is a full-size suv we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (14.4 L/100 km) and hybrid (12.4 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 27-year-old one keeps roughly 20% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
