ALL-NEW FORD EXPEDITION COLLECTION
DALLAS, Feb. 7, 2017 – For today’s

towing capability than any other full-size SUV.

The all-new Expedition makes its debut today with an assist from the
Dallas Cowboys in Texas – America’s best-selling full-size SUV market.
“When Expedition was introduced 20 years ago, it set the standard for
active families who simply needed a big and strong SUV to take them
places,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of The Americas. “Today’s
families want even more smart technology to help them cover more ground
safely, more efficiently and more comfortably – all while staying
connected to friends and family.”
Smartest Expedition ever
The all-new Expedition offers more driver-assist technology than any other
full-size SUV.
In addition, an all-new high-strength, aluminum-alloy body and redesigned
high-strength steel frame form the foundation for Expedition’s rugged
off-road and strong towing capabilities. Thanks to the use of advanced
materials, the all-new Expedition saves up to 300 pounds, and the team
reinvested that weight savings everywhere it counts to give customers more
technology and convenience features than ever before.
More than 40 features and driver-assist technologies new to Expedition
help make the journey as enjoyable as the destination.
These include class-exclusive enhanced active park assist to easily pull
in and out of parking spots, as well as available 360-degree camera
technology to help customers see more around their Expedition for easier
parking.
On the road, Expedition’s lane-keeping aid is designed to reduce
unintentional drifting of the vehicle outside its intended lane, while
adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go allows drivers to set a cruising
speed, using radar and camera technology to monitor traffic to maintain a
set distance between vehicles.
Its collision avoidance detection system helps drivers avoid other
vehicles or pedestrians, while available Blind Spot Information System
helps monitor blind spots outside the driver’s immediate view.
In addition, Expedition offers available new connectivity technologies and
convenience features, including:
-
Wireless charging; Expedition is Ford’s first vehicle to feature this
system, which allows customers to place compatible mobile devices on an
integrated charging pad conveniently located in the front center console
-
Wi-Fi hotspot supports as many as 10 devices at once, up to 50 feet away
from the vehicle
-
Dual-headrest rear seat entertainment system provides a next-generation
video experience that allows passengers to view their home cable
programming on either of two video screens or hand-held devices
-
SYNC® 3, with both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ capability, allows
drivers to stay connected on the move
-
SYNC Connect lets owners connect with the vehicle remotely using FordPass®
to start, lock, unlock and locate their vehicle from anywhere, while also
allowing access to important vehicle diagnostic information
-
Power for passengers in every row, with four 12-volt power points, six USB
chargers and a 110-volt power outlet that lets passengers stay charged and
connected
-
12-speaker B&O PLAY premium audio system perfected by acoustic engineers
for a sound experience even audiophiles will appreciate
-
Advanced cargo manager with an adjustable shelf behind the third row lets
owners create a storage space customized to whatever they’re hauling; even
when parked on a hill, cargo won’t roll out the back of Expedition when
the liftgate is opened
-
Panoramic Vista Roof spans two rows, a feature not offered by any
competitor
Most capable Expedition ever
Powered by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost® engine with standard Auto Start-Stop plus
a class-exclusive new 10-speed automatic transmission, the all-new
Expedition is the most powerful Expedition ever. A newly available
electronic limited-slip differential on models with Intelligent 4WD
enables improved off-road capability by sending power where it’s needed.
More than 50 percent of Expedition customers value towing, and 15 percent
tow weekly or monthly. That’s why the all-new Expedition offers Pro
Trailer Backup Assist, which makes backing up a trailer as easy as turning
a knob.
Plus, an available hands-free liftgate makes loading cargo easy.
Most adaptable Expedition ever
The all-new Expedition has a roomy, flexible interior. With seating for up
to eight people and their gear, this full-size SUV makes modern family
adventures more comfortable during short and long trips alike.
The all-new Expedition is the first full-size utility to feature a sliding
second-row seat with tip-and-slide functionality, providing easy access to
the third row without the need to first remove a child safety seat. Once
in the third row, even adults will appreciate more legroom and reclining
seats.
Expedition’s second- and third-row seats can be quickly folded flat with
the push of a button to open up a cargo area wide enough to handle
4x8-foot sheets of plywood and other gear, depending on cargo weight and
load distribution, even with the liftgate closed.
Even the drive is more adaptable, with Expedition’s all-new Terrain
Management System™ that lets customers choose between drive modes for
optimal vehicle handling in different conditions. This includes normal for
around-town driving, sport for more spirited trips, tow/haul for improved
towing and hauling performance, eco for enhanced fuel economy,
grass/gravel/snow for loose terrain, sand for low traction situations, and
mud/rut for uneven surfaces.
Revealed today
The all-new Ford Expedition is being unveiled at Ford Center at The Star
with Stephen Jones, Dallas Cowboys chief operating officer and executive
vice president.
Last fall, Ford and the Dallas Cowboys surprised Dallas firefighters of
Station 43 by refurbishing their station. Ford is now working with both
the Cowboys and the fire station to surprise a local first responder with
an all-new Expedition to continue his unstoppable level of service and
enable new family adventures.
The all-new Expedition is available in XLT, Limited and Platinum series.
In addition, an XL version is available for fleet customers, from law
enforcement to emergency services. To help customers choose the right
amount of interior room for their families, all series are available on
the extended-length Expedition MAX.
The all-new Expedition is part of Ford’s plan to grow its SUV leadership
with five new vehicles for North America in the next four years.
The all-new Expedition arrives this fall. It is built at Kentucky Truck
Plant in Louisville, Kentucky.
