2005 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer

2005 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer — powered by the Triton 5.4L V8 (rated at 300 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque) — is Ford’s upscale full-size SUV offering from that model year. The Eddie Bauer edition adds a number of comfort, appearance and convenience upgrades over the base Expedition while retaining the vehicle’s utility and towing capability.

Performance and drivetrain
- Triton 5.4L V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission; engine tuning and heavy-duty cooling make it well suited for hauling and towing.
- Available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations; 4WD models include a transfer case with selectable drive modes for on- and off-road use.
- Tow/haul transmission mode and factory towing provisions (heavy-duty radiator, transmission cooler and wiring/hitch provisions when equipped) support trailer duties when properly equipped.

Exterior features
- Eddie Bauer signature two-tone exterior paint and unique badging that distinguish it from other trims.
- Chrome-accented grille and trim, integrated running boards, and roof rack rails with crossbars for additional cargo carrying.
- Fog lamps and body-color bumpers/trim for a refined appearance.
- Alloy wheels shod with all-season tires; wheel size varied by equipment level.

Interior and comfort
- Two-tone leather seating with woodgrain and chrome interior accents; seating is designed for upscale comfort and durability.
- Heated front seats and power-adjustable seats for driver and front passenger; many Eddie Bauer models were equipped with driver memory functions.
- Three-row seating accommodates seven to eight passengers depending on second-row configuration (captain’s chairs or bench). Rear seats fold to expand cargo capacity and allow flexible passenger/cargo arrangements.
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel (often with wood trim) and steering-wheel mounted audio/cruise controls on many factory setups.
- Dual-zone automatic climate control up front with rear HVAC controls and dedicated vents to help maintain comfort for all three rows.

Convenience and technology
- Power windows with driver one-touch, power door locks and remote keyless entry.
- Tilt steering column, cruise control, and an on-board trip computer for fuel and trip information.
- Factory audio system includes AM/FM radio and CD player; many Eddie Bauer examples were ordered with an upgraded premium audio package (Sony) and available multi-disc CD changers or rear entertainment options.
- Optional factory features commonly available included a sunroof/moonroof, power liftgate, rear entertainment DVD system, and navigation/audio upgrades.

Safety and security
- Front airbags plus supplemental side-impact and side-curtain airbags (coverage often extended to rear seating rows), along with three-point seat belts for all seating positions.
- Four-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction/stability control systems available on many configurations to aid handling and stability.
- Child seat LATCH anchors and tether points for rear seating positions for safer child seat installation.
- Factory security system and keyless entry remote.

Cargo and utility
- Generous cargo area behind the third row with fold-flat rear seats for expanded cargo volume.
- Roof rails, tie-down points and optional tow package components make the Expedition practical for family hauling, weekend gear or trailering.

Note: The Eddie Bauer designation denotes a higher-level factory trim with leather appointments and appearance upgrades; exact standard equipment and optional packages varied by original build configuration and market.
