Triton® V8 Power Flex-Fuel
The 5.4L Triton® Flex-Fuel V8 is engineered to put
the torque where it's needed most, delivering 90
percent at or below 2000 rpm. Multi-valve technology
(3 valves per cylinder) allows the engine to breathe
more freely, increasing horsepower. The 5.4L Triton®
generates 310 horsepower and 365 lb.-ft of torque.
All this awesome power is transmitted to the drive
wheels by way of a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Its wide 6-gear spread helps the engine generate
lots of low-end torque (for tasks such as towing)
and provide efficient operation in 6th gear
overdrive on the highway.
Big
Towing Capacity
Few vehicles rival a full-size SUV in its ability to
tow a large boat or camper-trailer. The 5.4L Triton®
V8's 310 horsepower and 365 lb./ft. of torque give
the Expedition 4x2 regular-length model a maximum
9,200-lb. towing capacity when properly equipped
with the available Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package.
(The Expedition EL has a maximum towing capacity of
8,900 pounds.) For family recreation, Expedition is
pretty hard to beat.
Independent Rear Suspension
Ford Expedition delivers an exceptionally smooth
ride. A big reason is the Independent Rear
Suspension (IRS) that allows each wheel to respond
independently to rough or uneven surfaces for a
smooth and controlled ride.
ControlTrac® 4x4 System
ControlTrac™, the standard system on the available
Expedition 4x4, provides greater control in
situations requiring added traction capability by
dividing engine torque front-to-rear. Turning a
rotary knob lets you (1) drive in high or low
4-wheel drive mode, (2) switch to 4x4 AUTO which
automatically optimizes traction by transferring
power to the appropriate wheels, or (3) shift into
more economical 2-wheel drive.
Extended-Length Model
The Expedition EL (Extended Length) provides all the
versatility of the regular-length Expedition plus 24
additional cu. ft. of cargo volume behind the
3rd-row seat.* The EL can pack it all in so you can
take more with you on your family adventures.
*Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and
weight distribution.
NHTSA
5-Star Frontal Crash Test Rating
When it comes time to buy a full-size vehicle for
your family, it's important to know that Expedition
and the extended-length Expedition EL have received
the highest 5-star frontal crash test rating* for
the driver and right front passenger from the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
for nine years straight.
*Star ratings are part of the U.S. Department of
Transportation's Safercar.gov program (www.safercar.gov).
Rear
View Camera Option
Get a clear picture of what's behind you with the
Rear View Camera option. Put the vehicle's gear
selector in Reverse and the system automatically
transmits the image to your rearview mirror. If your
Expedition is equipped with the available Navigation
System, the image is shown on the navigation screen.
The Rear View Camera is available on Eddie Bauer in
the optional Eddie Bauer Convenience Package and
standard on Limited and King Ranch.
Comfortable Seating for Up To Eight
The only feature that matches the generous cargo
space provided in an Expedition is the outstanding
seating comfort you'll experience in this full-size
Ford SUV. Choose the popular XLT model with standard
seating for five or up to eight with optional
3-passenger 3rd-row bench (manual or PowerFold™). If
your taste is for luxury-level accommodations,
you'll find everything you're looking for in an 8-
or available 7-passenger Expedition Eddie Bauer,
Limited or high-end King Ranch model. All three come
with a host of amenities including leather-trimmed
1st- and 2nd-row seats and PowerFold™ 3rd-row seat.
When it comes to comfort, you should never have to
take a back seat to anyone.
2nd-Row
CenterSlide™ Feature
Standard 2nd-row seating in every Expedition is a
40/20/40 split bench seat with CenterSlide™ feature.
The center section can slide forward nearly 11
inches to make it easier to access a small child
from the front seats. |
