Ford Expedition
The Ford Expedition
is a fullsize SUV built by the Ford Motor
Company. Introduced in 1997 and redesigned
for 2003, it slots between the smaller Ford
Explorer, and the now discontinued Ford Excursion.
The Expedition offers up to nine passenger
seating and a range of V8 engines. It is similar
to the Lincoln Navigator, especially for 2004
with the introduction of the Limited trim
line. One million Expeditions have sold since
2004, reflecting high consumer demand for
its family-friendly interior, cargo space,
and high towing capacity. A specially modified
Special Service Vehicle version is also available
from Ford for law enforcement.
2007 Ford Expedition
ELFor 2007, the Expedition will be redesigned,
utilizing the T1 platform originally launched
with the F-150. The new platform provides
10% more torsional rigidity than the previous
model, and includes the independent rear suspension.
It is powered by the 5.4 L Triton V8 engine,
rated at 300 hp and 365 lbf·ft (495
N·m) of torque, which when properly
equipped can tow up to 9,100 lb (4,130 kg).
