Ford Expedition: The Ultimate Driving Experience
Making its public debut in 1997, the Ford Expedition was
introduced to the automobile world as a full size sport utility
vehicle that was crafted by the Ford Motor Company. It had its
last redesign in 2003. It takes up the niche between the smaller
Ford Explorer, and the halted Ford Excursion. The Ford
Expedition offers a seating capacity of a maximum of nine
passengers. It is also considered to be similar to the Lincoln
Navigator. The Ford Expedition has become a popular vehicle
because it cleanly reflects consumers' demand for a vehicle that
has a family-friendly interior, lots of cargo space, and has a
high towing capacity.
The changes done to the Expedition on its last make over were
noticeable and were quite substantial. Drivers of the Ford
Expedition could drive behind the wheel in comfort without
noticing fatigue. The ride and the handling of this vehicle had
greatly improved, along with a more responsive steering and more
stability on the open road. This kind of driving experience
provided this vehicle a great shot at beating its competitors.
What were added up for the Ford Expedition includes a power
third-row seat that disappears with the press of a button thus
leaving a large and perfectly flat cargo area. It also displays
a new interior. Along with that, a new small center seat on the
second row slides forward to give front-seat parents access to a
small child. Safety has certainly not been misplaced for the
Ford Expedition comes with an enhanced safety feature - a lower
front bumper, an optional safety curtain specially designed to
protect occupants in a roll over, adjustable pedals, a
tire-pressure monitor, and advanced electronics that were
crafted and designed so as to help assist the driver in
maintaining control.
The Ford Expedition holds a choice of engines. The list includes
the standard 4.6 liter V8 with 232 horsepower capability, and
the 5.4 liter V8 that produces 291 horsepower. It has also been
made available in two trim levels which are the XLT and the
Eddie Bauer.
The changed Ford Expedition looks bigger and bolder than the
first Expedition crafted. Giving this new one a well-planted
stance is its track that has been widened to nearly two inches.
It also gives a towering presence for its hood has been raised
to a height of four inches more. Its bumpers are integrated more smoothly
into the overall design. It also has door handles that are the
full-grip kind that makes it easier for occupants to grab and
take hold of them. As per the Ford Expedition's interior, it is
entirely covered with a metallic satin finish. It also contains
controls that are sturdy so as to provide an easy grip. Space is
something that the Ford Expedition has a great luxury of. It
contains roomy pockets in all four doors and these provide space
for a 20-ounce bottle.
Auto Parts Corner has a vast array of well
crafted Ford Expedition
parts and other Ford parts. Customers can choose Ford auto

Come next year, the Ford Expedition is going to undergo another
make over and this time, it will be using the T1 platform that
is also currently used by the Ford F-150 vehicles.
