Ford Expedition: Bigger and Better
As per 2003, the Ford Expedition has undergone a whole package
of changes, thus as per the next year the 2004 Ford Expedition
only had to go through slight touchups so as to complete the
entire set of being new. The Ford Expedition is still the big
and brawny, yet comfortable vehicle that we had known
previously. It comes with power, and space along with five
available trims that sport purely functional equipment to sheer
decadence. The available trims comprise of the XLS, the XLT, the
XLT Sport, the NBW, and the Eddie Bauer. The Ford Expedition is
still big, roomy, smooth, and very stable.
This vehicle has been considered to be quite refined. It has a
handling that is fairly precise and very responsive considering
the vehicle's weight and size. Compared to the earlier
generation of the Ford Expedition, this new one shows changes
like a smoother ride, and a thorough truck-based suspension.
Even the interior shows promises of something new. With a lower
front bumper, safety surely has been enhanced by the Ford Motor
Company as per changing the whole Ford Expedition look and
performance. A safety curtain has been added in so as to

tire-pressure monitor for smaller drivers. Also added in is an
AdvanceTrac electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, and
other active safety systems. These added features have been made
available so as to assist the driver maintain perfect control of
the vehicle and at the same time also reduce the chance of
skidding off the streets.
These only are a few of the features that has been upgraded and
updated for the Ford Expedition. Also made available for this
vehicle is the PowerFold third-row seat (this folds perfectly
flat with the press of a button), the Reverse Sensing System
(this feature can alert the driver of the Ford Expedition if the
vehicle is backed toward an object like a parked car, a short
pole, or a small child); and a rear-seat DVD entertainment
system. Not just for entertainment, comfort, and safety, the
Ford Expedition also functions well for towing. This vehicle can
tow up to a maximum of 8950 pounds of weight.
Looking closer, the Ford Expedition surely looks bigger and
larger and very much bolder than those Ford Expeditions who have
lived before this new one's time. As per its overall dimensions,
it still is roughly around the same size as before however, this
time around, the track has been given a more wide, around two

for a bolder kind of look. It also holds bumpers that are
integrated more smoothly into its overall design and fa
