Ford has not had a new Expedition since the 90's. Technically the second generation which came out as a 2003 model, lasted pretty much all the way until now. The 3rd generation underwent a heavy refresh, with slightly better styling, but greatly improved performance and efficiency with the introduction of the ecoboost v6 into the lineup. Honestly, the 3rd gen Expedition, which was introduced as a 2015 model, is what it should have been back in 2011! But now, it is here. Recently unveiled at the 2017 Chicago Auto Show, the all new Ford Expedition promises to be a greater contender in the Full Sized SUV space dominated by the likes of the Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon and Toyota Sequoia. With attractive new crossover-esque styling, it will have a revised version of their 3.5 liter ecoboost V6 as its main engine option. Official power and torque numbers have not yet been released. However, the biggest change to this large family ute is in its construction. Utilizing lightweight materials as first seen in the latest F-Series pickup trucks. They have managed to shave a significant amount of weight from the vehicle, all while increasing interior passenger space and cargo space. It is said to have the best 3rd row in the business. Expect a full suite of driver assistance technology and the latest in mobile technology with apple car play and android auto integration. Sales will start fall of 2017 as a 2018 model.
