The all-new Expedition makes its debut today with an assist from
the Dallas Cowboys in Texas – America’s best-selling full-size SUV
market.
“When Expedition was introduced 20 years ago, it set the
standard for active families who simply needed a big and strong SUV
to take them places,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of The
Americas. “Today’s families want even more smart technology to help
them cover more ground safely, more efficiently and more
comfortably – all while staying connected to friends and
family.”
Smartest Expedition ever
The all-new Expedition offers more driver-assist technology than
any other full-size SUV.
In addition, an all-new high-strength, aluminum-alloy body and
redesigned high-strength steel frame form the foundation for
Expedition’s rugged off-road and strong towing capabilities. Thanks
to the use of advanced materials, the all-new Expedition saves up
to 300 pounds, and the team reinvested that weight savings
everywhere it counts to give customers more technology and
convenience features than ever before.
More than 40 features and driver-assist technologies new to
Expedition help make the journey as enjoyable as
the destination.
These include class-exclusive enhanced active park assist to
easily pull in and out of parking spots, as well as available
360-degree camera technology to help customers see more around
their Expedition for easier parking.
On the road, Expedition’s lane-keeping aid is designed to reduce
unintentional drifting of the vehicle outside its intended lane,
while adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go allows drivers to
set a cruising speed, using radar and camera technology to monitor
traffic to maintain a set distance between vehicles.
Its collision avoidance detection system helps drivers avoid
other vehicles or pedestrians, while available Blind Spot
Information System helps monitor blind spots outside the driver’s
immediate view.
In addition, Expedition offers available new connectivity
technologies and convenience features, including:
- Wireless charging; Expedition is
Ford’s first vehicle to feature this system, which allows customers
to place compatible mobile devices on an integrated charging pad
conveniently located in the front center console
- Wi-Fi hotspot supports as many
as 10 devices at once, up to 50 feet away from the vehicle
- Dual-headrest rear seat
entertainment system provides a next-generation video
experience that allows passengers to view their home cable
programming on either of two video screens or hand-held
devices
- SYNC® 3, with both
Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ capability, allows drivers to stay
connected on the move
- SYNC Connect lets owners connect
with the vehicle remotely using FordPass® to start, lock, unlock
and locate their vehicle from anywhere, while also allowing access
to important vehicle diagnostic information
- Power for passengers in every
row, with four 12-volt power points, six USB chargers and a
110-volt power outlet that lets passengers stay charged and
connected
- 12-speaker B&O PLAY premium
audio system perfected by acoustic engineers for a sound experience
even audiophiles will appreciate
- Advanced cargo manager with an
adjustable shelf behind the third row lets owners create a storage
space customized to whatever they’re hauling; even when parked on a
hill, cargo won’t roll out the back of Expedition when the liftgate
is opened
- Panoramic Vista Roof spans two
rows, a feature not offered by any competitor
Most capable Expedition ever
Powered by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost® engine with standard Auto
Start-Stop plus a class-exclusive new 10-speed automatic
transmission, the all-new Expedition is the most powerful
Expedition ever. A newly available electronic limited-slip
differential on models with Intelligent 4WD enables improved
off-road capability by sending power where it’s needed.
More than 50 percent of Expedition customers value towing, and
15 percent tow weekly or monthly. That’s why the all-new Expedition
offers Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which makes backing up a trailer
as easy as turning a knob.
Plus, an available hands-free liftgate makes loading cargo
easy.
Most adaptable Expedition ever
The all-new Expedition has a roomy, flexible interior. With
seating for up to eight people and their gear, this full-size SUV
makes modern family adventures more comfortable during short and
long trips alike.
The all-new Expedition is the first full-size utility to feature
a sliding second-row seat with tip-and-slide functionality,
providing easy access to the third row without the need to first
remove a child safety seat. Once in the third row, even adults will
appreciate more legroom and reclining seats.
Expedition’s second- and third-row seats can be quickly folded
flat with the push of a button to open up a cargo area wide enough
to handle 4x8-foot sheets of plywood and other gear, depending on
cargo weight and load distribution, even with the liftgate
closed.
Even the drive is more adaptable, with Expedition’s all-new
Terrain Management System™ that lets customers choose between drive
modes for optimal vehicle handling in different conditions. This
includes normal for around-town driving, sport for more spirited
trips, tow/haul for improved towing and hauling performance, eco
for enhanced fuel economy, grass/gravel/snow for loose terrain,
sand for low traction situations, and mud/rut for uneven
surfaces.
Revealed today
The all-new Ford Expedition is being unveiled at Ford Center at
The Star with Stephen Jones, Dallas Cowboys chief operating officer
and executive vice president.
Last fall, Ford and the Dallas Cowboys surprised Dallas
firefighters of Station 43 by refurbishing their station. Ford is
now working with both the Cowboys and the fire station to surprise
a local first responder with an all-new Expedition to continue his
unstoppable level of service and enable new family adventures.
The all-new Expedition is available in XLT, Limited and Platinum
series. In addition, an XL version is available for fleet
customers, from law enforcement to emergency services. To help
customers choose the right amount of interior room for their
families, all series are available on the extended-length
Expedition MAX.
The all-new Expedition is part of Ford’s plan to grow its SUV
leadership with five new vehicles for North America in the next
four years.
The all-new Expedition arrives this fall. It is built at
Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky.
