If you don't want grease on your hands it is thankfully pretty inexpensive, but it is important nonetheless. This should be done every 3,000 miles.

"The leaf-spring rear car suspension somehow flexes and articulates a whole magnitude better than the Expedition's air-sprung suspension," noted Mark Williams. Throughout, throttle tip-in was gentle; it was a snap to inch the F-150 over rocks the size of typing tables. Traversing the dunes, it was equally simple to keep the 4.6-liter V-8 churning within its power band.
