The only reason not to leave it in overdrive would be if you are towing and going uphill. The car's computer will tell the transmission when to shift safely, but when under a very heavy load it may shift a lot. I usually only take overdrive off when I am towing going up hills where the grade changes frequently. If you are unsure, then it is better to keep it in overdrive all of the time and let the computer do the calculating. Fords actually have a pretty good system in place to remember how you drive so the computer will make the ride most comfortable.

What is the proper gear to drive a 1999 Eddie bauer ford expidition in?

On a 1999 Ford Expedition : Overdrive is the normally allowed position It won't shift into overdrive ( the 4th " gear " of the transmission ) until the speed is higher anyway ( such as on a highway / freeway ) If you are towing something / or driving in hilly country and the transmission is shifting back and forth between overdrive and drive , then you want to shut off the overdrive on the transmission using the switch on the end of the gear selector lever . ( the word OFF will light up near the end of the gear selector lever )
