The large truck segment is a competitive market with numerous formidable players such as the GMC Yukon and the Chevrolet Tahoe. The Ford Expedition is a strong contender in this market due to its powerful towing ability and massive trunk space. If you've got a lot of belongings or people to haul around then the Expedition could be a good choice. It's also quite good looking; the front grille is edgy and aggressive for an impressive appearance.
One of Ford's coolest features is the SYNC system which is available on the Expedition; however it does not come standard but can be added for an extra cost. The SYNC system allows you to change radio stations and utilize the phone via Bluetooth by voice. This allows you to stay focused on the road at all times. If you have to drive around a lot of people on a regular basis then the Expedition would be a great choice; this auto has enough room for eat people. With the third row of seats folded back; the cargo area can be expanded to 131 cubic feet. The third row of seats can easily be folded down to maximize space. Getting heavy objects on the truck is an easy feat thanks to the lift gate.
The Expedition is a heavy car; curb weight is over five thousand pounds and as a result gas mileage isn't too great; 13 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the freeway. However, that is to be expected with such a big SUV. Horsepower stands at 310 hp and torque is at 365 lb feet; more than enough to carry the hefty auto around thanks to an eight cylinder 5.4 Liter engine. Acceleration is smooth, however things can get bogged down a bit if loaded to capacity. The Expedition's strong point is its towing abilities; it can tow up to 9,200 lbs.
All disc brakes ensure that this SUV has ample of stopping power. Other safety mechanisms include a comprehensive air bag system and rain sensor wipers which start working immediately when it detects rain or snow. A SOS Post Crash Alert System is in place which activates the horn and turns on the emergency lights if the vehicle is involved in an accident. Standard traction control adjusts engine power and braking during critical moments in order to maintain control. You can open the doors even if you don't have your keys handy thanks to the cool keyless entry pad. Simply type in the code and you're in!
There are many SUV's to choose from; however the Expedition stands out thanks to its large cargo space, impressive towing capacity and seating room. If you've got a large family or just need a lot of room then the Ford Expedition is one vehicle you will definitely want to explore.
