Ford Expedition 2018... Just Amazing

By, 2017-02-13

The all new 2018 Ford Expedition was unveiled at the 2017 Chicago Auto Show earlier this month. The new large SUV seems to have all what a big family would need.

 

With regards to passenger volume as well as the interior and exterior specifications, the new Expedition is more like a very comfortable minivan for the family.

 

Starting from the rear of the car, the new Expedition has an independent rear suspension that allows for a wider, flatter cargo floor with a relatively low load height. In the Max version, Ford says the cargo area will accommodate 4-by-8 sheets of sheetrock, assuming anyone would want to do that to their fancy new truck. 

 

But if passengers are what you care about, then normal size adults can sit comfortably not only in the second row, but also in a very comfortable third row. It’s, by far, the best back row out there.

 

New Technologies in the Ford Expeditions 2018

 

Beyond internal space, the Expedition has many luxury family details: There are two USB ports per row, four 12-volt outlets and a 120-volt household outlet. A new partnership with Sling will enable the twin-screen rear entertainment system, as well as personal tablets on the vehicle's Wi-Fi, to watch cable TV content.

 

The interiors of Limited and Platinum trims also have high-quality materials and design details that maintain the upscale feel and visual interest, which is not easy in such a large vehicle. The dash and centre console, which can hold a laptop or a real purse, will seem familiar; they're from the F-150 on which the SUV is based.

 

The Exterior of the Ford Expedition 2018

 

The exterior, while a few inches longer, looks less ponderous now. Horizontal character lines and a chrome-edged beltline give it a sleeker, less "trucky" look and eliminate the old model's big-butt proportions. If not quite lean, the truck now at least looks fit.

 

The Engine

 

Powering the Expedition is a carryover twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost mated to an all-new 10-speed automatic transmission, but Ford has not yet provided power or torque numbers. Nor has it provided fuel-economy numbers, which the automaker says are likely to improve with the new model.
