Introduced for the model year as the successor of the Ford Bronco , the Expedition was the first full-size Ford SUV sold with a four-door body. For its entire production life, the Ford Expedition has been derived from the corresponding generation of the Ford F in production, sharing some body and mechanical components. The fourth-generation Ford Expedition [1] began production for the model year. The Expedition offered up to nine-passenger seating in model years before with a front bench seat option in the first row ; —present model year Expeditions have bucket seats in the first row and seats eight passengers. It is similar to the Lincoln Navigator , especially in Limited —present or King Ranch —; —present high-end trims; both of which were introduced for the model year. A modified Special Service Vehicle version is available for law enforcement agencies , fire departments , and emergency medical services. The Ford Expedition is also known for being one of the longest-lasting vehicles on the road. The Expedition was also the last Ford vehicle to retain its older design found in the early to mid s. Meaning, all the way up to , it kept its triangular-styled taillamps and rounded-rectangular shaped headlamps along with the overall boxy shape of the body. Initial planning began in parallel to PN96 F-Series development, prior to the UN93 program fully being approved in The all-new full-size SUV was unveiled on May 9, and launched on October 2, as a model. The XLT was the base model. The Expedition featured optional three row seating, first row captains chair seating, available second row captains chair seating, leather seating surfaces, illuminated running boards, heated side view mirrors, power moon roof , dual zone climate control and Ford's Mach audio sound system with rear subwoofer. Many of these features were standard on the Eddie Bauer version. Expedition was available with automatic full-time ControlTrac four-wheel drive with two-speed dual range BorgWarner transfer case and a center multi-disc differential. Two High mode and Auto mode with auto-lock was not available. Optional equipment included off-road under-body skid-plate protection, Traction-Lok rear limited-slip differential , and a heavy-duty trailer towing package. Optional was an electronically controlled pneumatic air suspension system that would raise and lower the vehicle depending on road and load conditions. The system also included a kneel-down mode for easier ingress and egress, as well as loading cargo, [13]. Standard was the 4. A two air bag supplementary restraint system SRS with 2-way occupant protection was standard. The air bags would adjust deployment force depending on crash severity. Features included SecuriLock with smart key and engine immobilizer , security approach lamps, four-wheel anti-lock braking system ABS , side-intrusion door beams, post-crash fuel pump shut-off and three-point safety belts for all rows of seating with tension and locking retractors. An optional four air bag SRS with 4-way occupant protection was available for the — model years. This included seat-mounted side torso side air bags. The model introduced a BeltMinder system to detect when the driver did not have their safety belt secured. No major cosmetic or mechanical changes. A new exterior color was added: Wedgewood Blue. Limited availability for 4. This limited run was available only for Ultimate Tow Package. The model year received a facelift similar to that of the model year Ford F Included in the update was a new front grille which now dropped lower in the center, grille work, as well as a new front bumper that incorporated the fog lamps into the lower valance and larger center air intake. Both the 4. The dashboard also received an updated radio and air conditioning controls and revised Gauge Cluster and a Digital Odometer for the first time. Available features on models included a hidden radio antenna integrated into the rear quarter panel window glass , Gentex auto dimming electrochromatic rearview mirrors, lane departure indicators on side view mirrors before on the glass portion of the mirror. The lower front bumper valance and illuminated running boards were changed over to Arizona beige to complement the standard Arizona beige exterior body trim on Eddie Bauer models. New trim packages included the XLT model. XLT versions could be optioned with the XLT No Boundaries package that included monochromatic black paintwork with chrome grille and special alloy wheels. Eddie Bauer versions could be optioned with the Eddie Bauer Premier package that included either monochromatic Arizona beige or solid black paintwork with painted alloy wheels and upgraded leather seating. A reverse sensing system was made optional. Last year model for the UN The redesigned second-generation Expedition was developed under the U program code name from to , under Ford chief vehicle engineer Steve von Foerster and chief program engineer John Krafcik from to UNbody mules were spotted testing in , with full prototypes running from late It was launched in May for the model year [6] and featured a new four-wheel independent long-travel suspension system, becoming the first full-size sport utility vehicle to use a fully independent suspension. The new independent rear suspension IRS was perceived as being controversial by some at the time of its introduction. Nevertheless, underbody obstacle clearance improved by half an inch, and up to two inches under the axle differentials. Expedition also gained a hydroformed fully boxed frame providing a 70 percent improvement in torsional stiffness. Heavy Towing versions received a heavy duty 9. Along with the high towing capability came all-new steering, braking and electronic systems to help the Expedition better control and maneuver long heavy trailers. Adaptive variable assist power rack-and-pinion steering was introduced along with the largest brake rotors in the segment at that time The four-speed 4R70W automatic transmission received all-new control software to allow the transmission to automatically adjust to the demands of towing, using new computer logic that recognizes changes in load and road conditions. The automatic full-time ControlTrac four-wheel drive system remained available, with an uprated two-speed dual range BorgWarner transfer case. The new transfer case featured an updated intelligent locking center multi-disc differential with front-to-rear " torque biasing " capability in Auto mode. A new dedicated microprocessor with new control software was added allowing the system to detect different terrain and surface conditions to predict traction loss before it happens. Two High mode was also reintroduced. Four-wheel electronic traction control was now available as an option, and simulated front and rear differential locks. The V8 engines offered on the previous generation were carried over, but not without major changes and improvements. The 5. The new engine block helped reduce engine vibration and unwanted noise while providing refined performance. Both engines featured piston skirts coated with a teflon -based friction-reducing material, and fitted with low-tension, low oil consumption rings. In addition, a new fail-safe cooling mode provided protection even in the case of a catastrophic coolant loss such as a punctured radiator. In the event of coolant loss, the engine control unit shuts off fuel to alternate cylinders to reduce the risk of engine damage from overheating. The valves continue to operate, in order to pump cooling air through the cylinders. A returnless fuel supply system helped to reduce evaporative emissions by providing consistent pressure to the fuel injectors through a high-pressure pump. New active hydraulic engine mounts were introduced to prevent the powertrain from inducing vibrations into the chassis. By optimizing these engine mounts, the engine block can act as a mass damper, absorbing chassis resonance, improving ride comfort. Expedition's passenger cabin was better sealed than before, in an effort to eliminate intrusive outside noise from reaching the occupants. Wind, powertrain, road and vehicle body noise was reduced by improving interior acoustics through new damping materials, a total of 10 shear-style isolating body mounts, heavier sealing of body and panels, redesigned rubber door seals, and extensive use of interior structural acoustic foam in the upper B-pillars, upper and lower D-pillars and floor pan. Road noise was reduced by 2 decibels , body air leakage reduced by 56 percent, chances for sealant noise disturbances reduced from 15 percent to less than 0. The Expedition also received a thorough exterior and interior cosmetic redesign. Expedition featured an all-new front fascia, grille work, headlamps, body trim, rear fascia, tail lamps and liftgate. Interior fit and finish were improved with an all-new interior featuring new dash, door panels, genuine aluminium trim, and plush carpeting. Expedition FX4 models featured all of Expedition's optional off-road equipment as standard equipment. Expedition's drag coefficient was 0. Three-row seating was standard with all-new manual fold-flat stow away third row seats. No longer did owners have to remove the third rows seats for more storage. The third row could simply "disappear" into the floor. Power assisted PowerFold fold-flat third row seating was available as an optional extra. Like the generation before, a 2 air bag supplementary restraint system SRS with 2-way occupant protection was standard on Expedition. PSS would tailor air bag deployment for driver and first passenger and included occupant classification, seat position, crash severity, safety belt pretensioner, load-limiting retractor and safety belt buckle usage sensors. A new optional 4 air bag supplementary restraint system SRS with 6-way occupant protection was also available. This new air bag system included SafetyCanopy dual side curtain air bags for head, upper torso and rollover protection. SafetyCanopy would deploy along the A, B and C-pillars down to the vehicle's beltline. SafetyCanopy could remain inflated after deployment for extended protection and replaced the dual front side airbags featured on the first-generation Expedition. Other features included side-intrusion door beams, security approach lamps, SecuriLock with smart key and engine immobilizer, BeltMinder, three-point safety belts for all rows of seating, post-crash fuel pump shut-off, tire pressure monitoring system TPMS and four-wheel, four-sensor, four-channel anti-lock braking system ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution EBD and emergency brake assist EBA. AdvanceTrac electronic stability control with traction control system was introduced as an optional extra. The electronic traction and stability mitigation system would expand to include roll stability control RSC for the model year. Before the model year ended, Ford updated the running boards on Expeditions equipped with the Eddie Bauer trim. Earlier in the model year, Eddie Bauer models had received standard black running boards. Toward the end of the model year, Arizona beige running boards were reintroduced to complement the Arizona beige body work which came standard on Eddie Bauer. Body colored running boards had previously been offered on the first-generation Expedition from to The Expedition Eddie Bauer Premier model is reintroduced after being absent from the model trim line-up. Monochromatic paint work with blacked-out headlamps and special alloy wheels were standard on Eddie Bauer Premier versions. Expedition received new roof rails which replaced the traditional sliding cross-bar roof racks. A new high end Limited trim level replaced the Eddie Bauer Premier model though the regular Eddie Bauer was still available and featured chrome accented roof rails, chrome-clad aluminium wheels, PowerFold power assisted stowable side view mirrors and chrome tipped exhaust. An upper high end King Ranch trim level with Castano leather seating was also introduced. The base 4. Along with the model V8 engine update, the Expedition also received a significantly updated version of the four-speed 4R70W automatic transmission. The new four-speed automatic transmission, now called 4R75E, featured fully electronic Smart Shift technology. A turbine speed sensor improved transmission control and provided the basis for the fully electronic shift scheduling. The transmission's microprocessor speeds were improved for better responsiveness and precision of the control system. The transmission was continuously learning, and would calculate the torque in the next gear and schedule shift points based on the Expedition's projected performance in the next gear. For model Expeditions, the 4R75E transmission is designated by the letter " Q ". Last year model for the U The Gentex auto dimming rear view mirrors were updated. Two new exterior colors were added later on within the model year. They were Pewter metallic and Dark Copper metallic. Medium Flint grey interior was also added to Limited models later on within the model year. Chrome tipped exhaust was made standard on King Ranch models. The ultrasonic rear park assist and SafetyCanopy side curtain airbags were offered as standalone options. Adjustable headrests were also added to the front seats to replace the one piece units. On April 12, , three second-generation full-size Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer vehicles completed a day overland expedition. The route took them on permafrost and crossed the Arctic Circle twice. The vehicles were modified with front end guards along with front and rear utility bumpers, winches, safari roof racks, high-powered off-road lights and extra underbody plating for the engines. Two of the vehicles towed a dual axle utility trailer. Two were equipped also with caterpillar track systems supplied by Mattracks. The rubber track systems were only used when off-road conditions became too demanding for conventional tires. The rear stabilizer bar failed on both vehicles fitted with the Mattracks system. The vehicles were also equipped with gas stoves to prepare food and high-capacity auxiliary fuel tanks mounted in the rear cargo bay and sometimes run on poor-quality gasoline. In Ford introduced the third generation of the Expedition developed under the U program code name which was an updated version of the second generation Expedition. Most of the improvements were mechanical in nature, and included a sheet metal refresh and redesigned interior with upgraded materials, as well as a new long wheelbase version, called Expedition EL in the U. The high-strength hydroformed fully boxed Ford T platform chassis was a modified version of the half-ton Ford P2 platform from the Ford F The new T1 platform replaced the old U platform, and provides 10 percent more torsional rigidity than the U platform. T1 incorporates a four-wheel independent long-travel suspension system first introduced on the second generation with redesigned suspension geometry and an all-new five-link rear suspension with new rear lower control-arms. As with previous model years, the suspension system could be had with adaptive pneumatic air-ride springs. Ford's new 6-speed 6R75 intelligent automatic transmission with dual overdrive gears was introduced. The transmission featured push-button overdrive lock-out, electronic shift scheduling, adaptive shift algorithms and a mechatronic transmission control module TCM that would save adaptive shift data in keep alive memory KAM. This safeguarded against complete data loss in case of a power failure such as disconnecting the battery. In the event of a power failure, the mechatronic unit would simply read the last saved data entry from the system's memory, thus, the transmission did not have to completely relearn] the owner's driving style. Additionally, the Expedition is powered by the same 5. Underbody overall ground clearance is 9. Selectable automatic full-time Control Trac four-wheel drive continues to be offered, and uses a two-speed dual range BorgWarner transfer case with intelligent locking center multi-disc differential and "torque biasing" capability. Four-wheel electronic traction control is standard and off-road underbody skid plate armor is optional. A new default off-road program with throttle response recalibration was added, and is automatically activated when Four Low lock mode is selected. Expedition can achieve an off-road crawl ratio of Expedition's front end now featured Ford's signature three "hollow-bar" grille to complement the SUV's truck close relation to the F and Super Duty pickups. New complex stepped style multifaceted headlamps, side view mirrors with updated LED lane departure indicators, sleeker body work and redesigned tail lamps were also added. The interior received a new dash, which would eventually appear on the Super Duty, new center console, and redesigned first row captains chairs, door panels and interior trim. To further reduce outside noise intrusion for quieter, more isolated ride comfort, new SoundScreen laminated acoustic and solar tinted windshield [41] was added with thicker laminated side window glass. The third generation Expedition went on sale in August Expedition King Ranch was also reintroduced after being absent from the model year trim line-up. In July , Ford's Wayne, Michigan plant started production of the models until finishing the plants run in December of that same year. That plant used to build the Ford Excursion until Expedition's 6-speed 6R75 automatic was replaced by an improved version, the 6-speed 6R80 automatic. The system also reduces the transmission's tendency to "hunt" for the right gear s and provides engine braking when descending hills. The nine-passenger front bench seating option has been discontinued for the model year, leaving only the eight-passenger seating option left with two front bucket seats and two rear bench seats. The chrome "Expedition" nameplate badge on the rear liftgate remains. The rearview camera system is now integrated to show the video feed through the navigation screen instead for the rearview mirror, however, the rearview mirror is still used to show images on Expeditions not equipped with the navigation system. The steering wheel also has a tilt feature and radio controls, including Ford SYNC buttons, allowing the driver to press the button and use voice commands to activate the system, which became standard on Eddie Bauer, Limited, and King Ranch. For accessory purposes, a HD radio can be installed upon request at a Ford dealership in the United States. New for were standard heated second row outboard seats on the Limited and King Ranch models only with either the second row bench seat or the optional bucket seats. It has also announced that the models will now feature Ford's MyKey and trailer sway control as a standard on all trims. HD Radio became a standard on all trims, and a dual DVD system that placed at the headrest area became an optional feature. Another change that was made was in the entry-level trim department, with the Expedition offering the newly designated standard XL entry level with lower black cladding, while the XLT level trim was upgraded along with a new XLT Premium trim with gold cladding, replacing the Eddie Bauer level trim. Both Limited and King Ranch trims receive new paint and interior trim. The limited trim also has a chrome grille for a change. The second row heated seats option was added to XLT Premium and the front park assists became a standard feature on the Limited and King Ranch trims. Updates made to the models which went on sale in August included the TowCommand trailer brake controller system that is bundled with the heavy-duty trailer towing package, a new internal shift control module which allows the six-speed automatic transmission to tailor shifts to engine demand, 10 equipment levels, three new colors Blue Jeans Metallic, Kodiak Brown Metallic and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat , and a new inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels that was available on both the Limited and King Ranch trims. The latter trim also featured chrome roof racks and side mirrors. Another notable change can be found on the driver's instrumental panel, with the temperature and fuel gauge trading sides. No major cosmetic changes. A new, quieter, mechanical Nivomat adaptive hydraulic load-leveling suspension system is available, in place of the adaptive pneumatic air-ride load-leveling suspension. Ford announced that the three level trims, XLT, Limited, and King Ranch, will continue to be offered along with a new top of the line Platinum trim. Official photos released on February 18, revealed an all-new aggressive armadillo -like three-bar grille, which features step-stacked bars that evoke the appearance of stepped armor-plating on an armadillo's back. All-new thinner headlamps were added, in addition to an all-new front bumper with oversized lower air intake. The new bumper also features a lower chrome bar and twin LED fog lamps that flank the chrome bar. Brightwork was added on the rear liftgate; and the tailpipe was repositioned straight, instead of making a 90 degree turn behind the right rear wheel. Expedition remained a body-on-frame BOF , allowing the SUV to retain its heavy-duty truck underpinnings for towing and hauling needs. Expedition also features a new electric power servo-assisted steering and Pull-Drift Compensation PDC which detects crosswinds and compensates for it. The interior remained similar to the outgoing models, but with upgraded materials and a revised prominent center stack, now derived from the F rather than the Super Duty. Also new is the latest version of the 8-inch MyFord Touch touchscreen infotainment and telematics system. Push-to-start engine ignition with intelligent access was added and the four-wheel drive mode selector for models with 4x4 was revised and repositioned. The TowCommand paddle controls were repositioned over the four-wheel drive mode selector, to make way for revised audio and climate controls on the center stack. The new features for included an optional, revised four-wheel independent suspension system with intelligent continuously-controlled damping CCD system that alters suspension settings constantly based on 46 parameters and offers comfort, normal, and sport modes. Expedition is the first Ford vehicle in North America to have continuously-controlled damping. Other new optional features includes blind-spot information system BLIS with cross-traffic alert, and a rearview camera and apps for the infotainment system to help with towing and off-road driving, all of which is standard in the Platinum trim, whose seating and interior features include Brunello leather, a red wine color with tuxedo-stripe accents and French seamed stitching, or black leather with Agate Gray accents. The four-wheel electronic traction control system brake differential locking control was recalibrated to take into account the new EcoBoost V6's higher torque output and earlier torque delivery. Expedition has a near perfect front:rear balanced weight distribution and center of gravity positioned at Expedition Platinum averaged For the model year, most of the features that were introduced from were carried over. The vehicles arrived at dealerships in November The all-new Expedition features body-on-frame BOF architecture with high-strength lightweight material construction consisting of boron steel and aluminum. The U will move to the all-new half-ton hydroformed T3 platform chassis , which is a modified version of the half-ton platform underpinning the P Ford F The T3 platform will use a new four-wheel independent suspension system design. Updated powertrain systems engines and transmissions including a Hybrid variant with proprietary parallel hybrid electric-drive system to help increase fuel efficiency are expected. The CAN-3 electrical architecture is akin to a human nervous system and allows the Expedition's various on-board microprocessors and electronic vehicle control systems to communicate or "talk" to one another through electronic data that is sent and received. With high speed CAN-3, the Expedition can learn and react faster than before. The Expedition is available with selectable automatic full-time four-wheel drive that routes torque through a two-speed dual range transfer case with electronic locking center multi-disc differential. A new electronic locking rear differential is available to augment the 4x4 system. Both the center and rear locking systems are teamed with four-wheel electronic traction control ETC , which simulates a locking front differential by ABS "brake locking" the front differential. The four-wheel drive system has three direct drive modes which include 2H, 4A, and 4L. The 4H mode has been dropped from the selection, as the Terrain Management computer now controls the electronic center lock of the four-wheel drive system. The 4L direct drive mode engages the electronic center lock regardless of the off-road drive mode selected. Off-road geometry figures for approach, departure, and ramp breakover, improve slightly with Minimum running lowest point ground clearance increases by a full inch, from 8. The driver directs the system via a control dial, while the Expedition handles all steering and limits reversing speed. Among the new features that have been incorporated into the fourth generation Expedition are a degree camera and park assist system, along with optional safety features that use both camera and radar technology, and include automatic braking, lane-keep assist, active cruise control, and blind-spot monitors. Ford has also partnered with Sling on a twin-screen rear entertainment system, as well as personal tablets on the vehicle's Wi-Fi. A dual vista panoramic sunroof is available as an optional feature. The Expedition was only available in four trim levels, as the King Ranch trim was discontinued after the model year. The three primary trims, XLT, Limited, and the top-of-the-line Platinum, were available to regular customers, while the fourth trim, XL, was exclusive to rental companies, corporate fleets, and government agencies, as it did not have as many features as the other three trims. The Expedition has an available Driver Assistance Package that equips the vehicle with smart driver-assist technology, including pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection and forward collision warning, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, auto high-beam headlamps, and rain-sensing wipers. A key difference from is that a surround-sound premium audio system and rear seat entertainment system are no longer available as an option for XLT models, and that push-button start, and a power-folding third-row seat are now standard equipment this feature was optional on the XLT. A trailer towing package, leather-trimmed seating surfaces, heated front and rear seats, SYNC 3 infotainment system with optional GPS navigation, a power panoramic moonroof, heated and ventilated front bucket seats, the FX4 Off-Road Package 4X4 models only , twenty-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and other comfort and convenience features are optional. The key difference is the transmission and engine are changed slightly for better durability in high idling and high speed environments as the SSV is designed for police use. The Limited key features include in-vehicle wi-fi with available SYNC Connect, a hands-free foot-activated lift gate, and standard inch ultra bright machined aluminum wheels with dark tarnish painted pockets. The Limited also has a A heavy duty engine radiator and two-speed automatic four-wheel-drive with neutral towing capability are optional. The Limited has the equivalent power and handling features of the XLT, though it comes with standard all-season tires. The standard power and handling features include a two-wheel rear-wheel drivetrain, multilink independent rear suspension, Electronic Power Assist EPAS rack and pinion steering, AdvanceTrac with stability control, which is designed to provide stability and traction by reducing the chance of spinning the drive wheel, trailer sway control, traction control, and a non-limited-slip 3. A Terrain Management System and hill start assist and hill descent control is available for 4x4 models. Optional features on the Limited include a Control Trac four-wheel-drive system, a non-limited-slip 3. The cabin has perforated, leather-trimmed, heated and ventilated bucket front seats, heated second-row outboard seats, second-row power folding tip and slide seats, power folding and reclining third-row seats, and third-row power-folding headrests. Second-row power folding tip and slide bucket seats are optional. The Limited has six smart-charging multimedia USB ports, with two in each row, and a wireless charging hub on the center console. The cabin also features 15 cupholders, analog RPM and speed gauges with digital minor gauges, and an 8-inch center display. The cabin has an illuminated entry system and ambient lighting, with map lights mounted over the front overhead console, dome lights on the second and third rows, and a rear cargo area light. Push-button start systems with intelligent access, a remote start system, and a Blind Spot Information System BLIS with cross-traffic alert and trailer tow monitoring are also standard. Optional interior features include an advanced cargo manager, an enhanced active park assist system, a lane-keeping system, pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, and adaptive cruise control. Each has a unique color with magnetic-painted polished stainless steel accents. Among the other exterior standard features are intermittent front and rear wipers, a windshield wiper de-icer, a rear window defroster and washer, halogen fog lamps, quad-beam reflector headlamps, a halogen projector-beam, incandescent tail-lamps, a hands-free foot-activated liftgate and manual liftglass, a Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp CHMSL , configurable daytime running lamps, roof-rack side rails, a chrome grille with Magnetic painted accents, and a Class IV trailer hitch receiver. A capless fuel filler is also standard. Rain sensing front wipers, roof rail crossbars, LED daytime running lamps and headlamps, magnetic grille and mirror caps, and front tow hooks are optional. The Expedition Limited has power adjustable heated mirrors with memory capability, security approach lamps, integrated blind spot mirrors, a solar-tinted windshield and front door windows, and second and third-row privacy glass, and lower bodyside cladding and wheel lip moldings. A panoramic vista roof is optional. The Expedition Limited has the standard safety features of all Expedition Trims with an additional optional degree split-view camera. Security systems include SecuriLock passive anti-theft system, a remote keyless entry system, a perimeter alarm, a personal safety system, SecuriCode keyless entry keypad, MyKey, and inclination and intrusion sensors. The flagship Ford Expedition Platinum will be more upscale and move further upmarket, with high-end interior fit-and-finish and luxury interior and exterior appointments. In addition, the exterior will feature "platinum" satin-finished lower front and rear bumper skid plates, roof rails, side mirror crowns, and liftgate accents, along with polished stainless steel power deployable-and-retractable running boards, polished alloy wheels, chrome brightwork, and platinum satin-finished mesh grillwork. Expedition Platinums will also feature a specific performance tuned version of the 3. The King Ranch trim returned for the model year, slotted between the Limited and Platinum trim. As with the previous versions, the King Ranch logo will be prominent on all three rows of seats, the floor mats, and the scuff plates, Stone Gray trim on bumpers, power running boards, roof rails, standard Del Rio leather on all seats, door trim, armrests, steering wheel, and center console, and roll on machined aluminum wheels with darker painted pockets. Among the detailed features are patented electronic locking limited-slip rear differential, Off-road-tuned shocks, All-terrain tires, Seven different skid plates that serve as underbody armor and protect critical areas, Unique inch Magnetic Metallic-painted cast-aluminum wheels, Chrome running boards, FX4 badging on the liftgate and front fender, and New rubber floor liners. It is only available in standard length, not the Max. There were no major changes, as it carried some of the features over to the model year. Two new colors, silver spruce and black agate, was added to the list of palettes. The King Ranch level trim was bought back for the model year, placing it above the Platinum trim. The desert gold color feature was introduced with this model year, but is being discontinued due to lack of interest from customers. The Expedition's die-cast aluminum 3. It's backed up by a gasoline direct injection fuel delivery system with a single, stainless steel exhaust. The drive ratio is 3. The engine's compression ratio is Originally intended to carry the Ford Everest name, Ford product planners changed their minds, as the nameplate was already in use for a midsize Ford SUV in Asia. For the model year , Ford introduced the extended-length Expedition EL. With a wheelbase stretched 12 inches to inches and a length increased The extended-length body of the EL is distinguished by its longer cargo-area windows and its rear door design the rear wheels no longer intrude into the lower half of the doors. Alongside the standard-length Ford Expedition, the EL was offered with a single powertrain; the 5. The EL is also sold with both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. Over its first-generation, the EL shared its features with the standard-length Expedition; for model, a cargo organizer became an exclusive feature. After , all versions of the XL trim were dropped. For its second generation, the Expedition EL became known as the Expedition Max now stylized with all capitals as MAX along with the rest of the world. It debuted in November for the model year. Like the standard size Expedition, this was also unveiled ahead of the Chicago Auto Show and carried the same features and the three featured trims, XLT, Limited, and Platinum. It also expanded its length size by one inch to allow more space and legroom in the third seat row. Although the rear passenger doors were widened, the aft wheel well trim still doesn't cut into them. Like the standard length Expedition, the extended length Expedition Max also retained its standard eight passenger seating on all trims like before. With the introduction of the fourth generation Expedition, Ford will make the SUV available to North America in the Fall of first, followed by a global launch in early , where it will go on sale in selected countries. With the introduction of the Expedition Max for the model year as the successor to the first generation Expedition EL, Ford made the vehicle available globally, with North America in late and selected countries in early Selectable automatic full-time Control Trac four-wheel drive designed by BorgWarner is standard on all 4x4 Expeditions. Each mode can be selected via a rotary control dial on the dash. The Expedition's system uses a two-speed dual range BorgWarner transfer case with a software controlled variable intelligent locking center multi-disc differential. The four-wheel drive system does not use a planetary or bevel geared center differential, which are typically found in permanent four-wheel drive systems where torque is supplied to all four wheels. Steel plates are placed over vital areas with a composite shield for the fuel tank. Expedition 4x4s are tested alongside the F and Super Duty trucks at Ford's California and Arizona proving grounds. Expedition is put through the same durability tests and evaluations to meet the same durability standards as its pickup truck brethren. Rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive have conventional open-type differentials with a choice of axle ratios. Traction control systems, both mechanical and electronic, are optional. The clutch packs inside the LSD tend to be weak, will wear over time, gradually losing their ability to transfer torque, and LSD will function like an open-type differential. The AdvanceTrac electronic stability control for the model year. The Traction-Lok option was dropped after the model year, but a limited slip differential was reintroduced during the model year. AdvanceTrac electronic stability control was introduced for the model year as an optional extra on the second generation Ford Expedition U Bundled with the electronic stability control system is four-wheel electronic traction control functions at all wheels for Expeditions with four-wheel drive. AdvanceTrac was made standard equipment on all third generation Expeditions U The traction control system uses four-wheel, four-sensor, four-channel anti-lock braking system ABS to apply and release the disc brakes on the drive wheel that has lost traction. The ABS clamps down on the slipping drive wheel or wheels, "brake locking" the differential, which can transfer up to percent of supplied torque to the opposing drive wheel with better traction. By ABS "brake locking" both the front and rear differentials, the traction control system can simulate front and rear differential locks. The system works even if two of its drive wheels one front, one rear are completely off the ground. Using the ABS brakes rather than mechanical limited-slip or locking devices inside the axle differentials gives quicker response, more seamless performance, and enhanced durability. Buttons to control the 4x4 system are arranged around the central Terrain Management dial. The system is similar to the one found in the —present Explorer, however the Explorer's system is more simplified. Moreover, the Explorer's Terrain Management System has 4 four drive modes, while the Expedition has 7 seven drive modes, not including the 3 three 4x4 system direct drive modes. Depending on the mode selected, Terrain Management will control, adjust, and fine tune the engine, transmission , center multi-disc differential lock, throttle response, four-wheel electronic traction control and electronic stability control ESC to adapt the SUV for optimal performance on the corresponding terrain. New competitors included the Dodge Durango which was discontinued in , but reintroduced as a crossover in , Nissan Armada , and Toyota Sequoia. Product research conducted by Ford indicated that 92 percent of Expedition owners use the SUV for vacations. Some 60 percent use it to transport outdoor sports equipment, while 40 percent of Expedition owners use the vehicle for towing. The list of towing features is also ever growing. Towing features common to all generations of the Expedition include: smallest possible turning radius for increased trailer maneuverability, large side view mirrors to improve rearward visibility, rearward-facing lane departure indicators which are helpful to other motorist when the Expedition is towing a long trailer providing added visual safety, heavy-duty flashers, [] heavy-duty large disc brakes to withstand prolonged braking while towing, and an available heavy-duty trailer towing package which includes necessary additions for heavy-duty towing. As of the model year, the Expedition received trailer sway control TSC as standard equipment. TSC detects trailer oscillations and corrects it via asymmetrical ABS braking and reducing engine power until the Expedition and its trailer are both back under control. Expeditions equipped with the heavy-duty trailer towing package are prepped and readied, at the factory , for towing. For model years prior to , these Expeditions are prewired for later installation of an aftermarket electronic trailer brake controller. The brake controller wiring harness is located under the dash on the driver's side. The trailer brake controller is fully integrated into the Expedition's four-wheel, four-sensor, four-channel anti-lock braking system ABS , and trailer sway control TSC. Expeditions were offered with an adaptive pneumatic air-ride suspension system with self leveling, payload leveling and trailer load leveling capability from to For the model year, a Nivomat adaptive hydraulic suspension system with self leveling, payload leveling and trailer load leveling replaced the pneumatic system. Both systems can automatically detect when a heavy trailer is coupled, such as a travel trailer , and level the load. Additional ride-height sensors placed on the left and right sides of the SUV also monitor and compensate for any listing caused by improper cargo loading. This keeps the Expedition running straight and level while towing, and at night helps to keep the Expedition's headlamps from blinding oncoming traffic. To compete with large police SUVs that are sold by other automobile companies, primarily the Chevrolet Suburban , Ford has made a special version of the Expedition available to law enforcement agencies , fire departments , and EMS agencies. The only differences between the standard Expedition and the Special Service Vehicle Expedition are provisions for emergency services related equipment such as radios , lightbars , and sirens. With the fourth generation Expedition —present debuting in , Ford announced that the standard size version will be sold to government agencies and law enforcement, available in the lower based XL trim only. In , Ford Motor Company teamed up with rapper and New York City radio personality Funkmaster Flex in a multi-year partnership to create a series of special edition Ford vehicles and advertise the Ford brand. One of those creations was a Ford Expedition bearing the rapper's name. This limited production Expedition featured a special Colorado Red and black two-tone paint job with orange pinstriping, 20 inch chrome wheels, 3D Carbon body kit, Funkmaster Flex badging and a custom black and Colorado Red leather interior on top of Expedition Limited standard equipment. The FMF Expedition went on sale in the fall of and production was limited to units total. The Expedition also ranked first among large SUVs with a score of 9. News and World Report. The Expedition was runner-up. The Expeditions were recalled in April over a front passenger safety belt sensor defect, which may malfunction and can lead to a misclassification of the size and weight of the occupant for the restraint system. In some circumstances, this malfunction may not be detected, and the airbag light may not illuminate, leading to injuries if it failed to deploy. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The intelligent locking center multi-disc differential is inactive, torque is routed to the rear-wheels only, with high range gearing. Imitates rear-wheel drive and is more economical for on road driving. Software does all the work, adjusting the torque split between the front and rear wheels when wheelslip is anticipated or detected. The intelligent locking center multi-disc differential is unlocked and allows for a variable front:rear torque split that ranges from to , or anywhere in-between. Up to percent of torque can be sent to the front wheels, via " torque biasing " for temporary front-wheel drive, in extreme situations where the rear drive axle loses complete traction. High range gearing is used. For use in all-weather on road dry, wet or slippery pavement conditions or light off-road conditions. The intelligent locking center multi-disc differential is locked providing a permanently locked torque split. Not for use on pavement, only for off-road conditions. If Four High mode is used on pavement, torque windup and drivetrain binding can occur resulting in catastrophic driveline failure. Similar to Four High mode in operation, the permanently locked torque split is maintained; however, low range off-road reduction gearing is engaged. A default off-road program is automatically selected and remaps reprograms the electronic throttle control , traction control system engine control , and turns off AdvanceTrac' s electronic stability control and roll stability control safety systems for off-road use. If Four Low mode is used on pavement, torque windup and drivetrain binding can occur resulting in catastrophic driveline failure. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Ford Expedition. Bronco Sport.

Lake Ford helped make these videos. This video shows you how to change the oil and oil filter in your Ford Expedition. When you change your own oil, you know that you are putting quality oil in your Expedition and that the filter is being changed too. Most importantly, you get a chance to look around under your Expedition for potential trouble spots. This video shows you the location of your oil drain plug, oil filter, oil fill cap and dipstick in addition to the steps needed to change the oil and filter in your Expedition. For most Fords, you can wrap an old belt around the oil filter and unscrew it by hand. If you can't do this, see our parts page to find a Ford Expedition oil filter wrench. If your Expedition is too low to the ground to access your drain plug and oil filter, be sure to use jack stands and safe jacking procedures before getting under your Expedition. If it isn't printed on the oil cap, check your owners manual for the exact type before adding new oil. We recommend wearing safety glasses whenever you are working under your Expedition. You never know what could be dripping down from the engine, battery acid, engine coolant, brake fluid, etc. All of these fluids are extremely harmful to your eyes and skin so it is important to protect yourself.

Everyone usually posts questions on here - well I have been reading and researching on here and trial and error on my 97 Eddie bauer for a few weeks and thought I should put in with a rare "success story" Here goes I bought a sweet Eddie Bauer 4x4 Eddie Bauer on ebay from a charity site for a steal Unknown history, great visible condition , column plastic pieces slightly mangled but overall - for the meager price - a bargain. But it would not start Unknown tranny and motor condition - when I get the truck it actually does start - but only for a second or two - then - kill with a rapidly flashing anti theft light. Thus after adding a new battery began my education into fords PATS system. The keys didn't seem to deactivate the anti theft system - one start with a couple seconds of run - then every turn of the key without turning to the off position would only turn over. Here is what I learned: and 98 pats will start no starter kill then die under anti theft conditions The theft light will rapidly flash for about a minute and then turn off - this is an indication that no key is being read. After much checking of fuses, relays, PCM connections and grounds - I was at a loss and about to start buying parts. I did buy a Silica key programmer thinking the keys that came with the vehicle were not properly programmed - only to have the machine tell me that I didn't need it for my PATS 1 vehicle and to use the method I had learned and unsuccessfully tried prior of the 15minutes x 3 program new key. A which for me never worked once - my light only blinked for minutes very rapidly. So after pulling the codes and coming up empty after pouring over service manuals and wiring diagrams I decided to just check voltagein the system where I could. I tested the 4 wires and got voltage on each at the unit with the key on and at the input from the module with the key on - seemed to be working normally. Getting voltage at all 4 wires. Then I thought I would check the voltage if there was a key present inside the circle - we. I had the unit off of the key cylinder and had one key in the cylinder and another loose. I had to keep the key "on" to power the transceiver. So I used one key to keep that on and the other input in the circle of the transponder. This perplexed me was not what i was expecting. I was on my back under the steering column doing this. Insert key into loose transceiver - lose all power. I did this maybe a dozen times - trying to figure out WTF. This thing kills the module when a key gets into it. Good job - then it clicked in my head that I had finally turned the anti theft pats to start mode. It passed pats - so it killed voltage to that sensor and started right up. Same key - loose off of key cylinder transponder. Moral of this story - everything was working - just the transceiver was really weak! I had to mount my spare key directly into the circle of the transceiver and zip tie it under the dash - truck starts and no theft light. My gamble Paid off - otherwise truck was mechanically excellent - I got a steal. I hadn't seen this "weak transceiver" fix out there so I hope this helps someone! I plan on buying a new one and getting her put back together correctly soon - but this is a good thing to try if you are using the right key and getting a fast theft flash on attempt to start!
