FORD Expedition · photos, packages and modifications

In order to replace the Bronco, there was a model designed with the combination of smaller Ford Explorer and the Ford Excursion namely as the Expedition. The Lincoln Navigator was another model that designed on the same platform. This model car was offered with the engine range of V8 that would probably provide it with a lot of towing capacity in a better way. It was also designed as the one with luxury interior and as family-oriented. In 1999, the minor facelift was done in this model along with the modified features including the fascia, the front grille and the bumpers that were inserted for the lights now.

The second generation Expedition model was designed based on the Ford U Platform and introduced in 2002, which was capable of offering the tow up to 8,300 lb or 3,800 kg. This car was replaced with the independent configuration instead of the rear suspension that provided car with the smoother ride option. There were also number of extra features received by the car including the mirrors embedded with the turn signal lights and the power folding for the third row of seats.

When you consider about the platform of the third generation expedition, it was normally built on the new T1 platform entirely that developed by Ford. The platform was designed in order to offer the increased torsion strength along with the independent rear suspension as the best one. This car was available with the completed engine line-up as the V8 hybrid one that could be able to run alternatively on gas and batteries. The interesting fact about this model was 20% units of this car were sold out in the Texas.
