Launched originally for the 1997 model year, the Ford Expedition has seen a lot of changes to meet the expectations of different categories of people. With the launch of the 2008 model, there are some sixteen models to choose from in both rear-wheel and front-wheel drive in four trims like XLT, Eddie Bauer, Limited and the latest King Ranch. The manufacturer not only gave importance to the minute details for the exterior styling but also the interior cabin has been designed with utmost care. The new and improved Expedition is a full-size sport-utility vehicle designed on the popular platform of Ford's 'full-size pickup truck'. It's big, tall and heavy and comes with a number of standard and optional features.
Every Expedition gets power from a single-overhead-cam 5.4-liter V-8 engine that is rated at 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. The wide 6-gear spread helps the engine generate lots of low-end torque for difficult tasks such as trailer towing and providing efficient operation in the 6th gear overdrive on the highway. At the same time shifting also becomes smooth and comfortable. Moreover, the engine is mated with a six-speed automatic transmission that is quite an improvement as compared to the earlier four-speed automatic transmission. It is this powerful automatic transmission that makes the awesome power of the 5.4L Triton V8 engine perfect for driving.
It will not be wrong to say that the improved six-speed automatic transmission will also give you a positive option to think about when buying a new Expedition for yourself and your family.
