BIG. Just like your plans.
Built to encourage your family’s adventurous nature, Expedition and Expedition EL feature
bold good looks and seating for up to 9. Expedition tows up to 9200 lbs. when properly
equipped. And Expedition EL’s longer wheelbase gives you 129% more cargo space behind
its 3rd-row seat. New for 2008: the King Ranch Edition and an available Reverse Camera.
It’s time to gather everybody, pack everything and hit the road to anywhere.
Saddle up in the luxurious
new KING RANCH.
The ultimate retreat after a long day, the King Ranch Edition is available on
Expedition and Expedition EL. It welcomes you with sumptuous Chaparral leather trim
on all 3 rows of seating, the center console lid and the door-trim panel inserts, plus a
matching leather-wrapped steering wheel. Unique wood trim lends visual warmth to the
instrument panel, floor console, shifter handle and switch plates, while a King Ranch
logo adorns the floor mats. Enhancing the exterior: Pueblo Gold accents, 18" machinedaluminum
wheels and exclusive King Ranch badging.
Play on its inherent STRENGTH.
Standard on every Expedition and Expedition EL, the proven 5.4L Triton® V8 engine features
an efficient 3-valve head design that maximizes its energy to give you a mighty 300 hp
at 5000 rpm and 365 lb.-ft. of torque at 3750 rpm. The substantial V8 is coupled with an
innovative 6-speed automatic transmission to help create that satisfying “launch” feel
that tucks you back in your seat. You won’t find a 6-speed transmission on any other SUV
in the class.1 Expedition also delivers the highest available maximum towing capacity
in its class at 9200 lbs. The optional air suspension with rear load leveling comes in
especially handy when you’re towing particularly large items or hauling lots of gear.
It helps maintain a smooth ride and confident handling regardless of the vehicle load.
So hitch up your favorite tow-behind and head out for some big fun!
1Full-size SUV and Full-size Extended-length SUV classes, excluding other Ford Motor Company vehicles.
Take advantage of its CAPABILITY.
When you and your family need to get away, you like to go where the wild things are. And
Expedition 4x4 can’t wait to take you there. Helping Expedition maintain its composure —
even over harsh, uneven surfaces — the multilink independent rear suspension enables
each rear wheel to react independently. The convenient 4x4 AUTO mode on Expedition’s
optional Control Trac® 4-wheel-drive system senses when you’re driving on a loose or
slippery surface (like gravel, mud or snow) and automatically optimizes traction by
transferring power to the appropriate wheels. Front tow hooks and a 4x4 LOW mode are
also included on 4x4 models for serious off-road venturing. The 4x4 Off-Road Package,
optional on Expedition XLT 4x4 models, adds black tubular step bars and skid plates to
help protect the engine, transfer case and fuel tank. There’s no better way to roam.
Share its relaxed HOSPITALITY.
Welcome to your new family room on wheels. With available seating configurations for 5 to
9 passengers and all sorts of entertaining options, Expedition and Expedition EL will pamper
you and your guests with comfort and style. New for 2008, the overhead console, sun visors
with illuminated vanity mirrors, 2nd-row map lights and auxiliary rear climate controls
are all standard. Supportive captain’s chairs are also standard in the 1st row, while Eddie
Bauer, Limited and King Ranch models feature luxurious leather-trimmed seating, a 10-way
power-adjustable driver seat with power lumbar and recline, Dual-zone Electronic Automatic
Temperature Control and a 340-watt Audiophile® Sound System — a treat for all!
Utilize its endless ADAPTABILITY.
Days a bit unpredictable lately? Not to worry. Expedition is built to help with convenient
features you won’t find on the competition. Like our available PowerFoldTM 3rd-row seat
(standard on Eddie Bauer, Limited and King Ranch). With PowerFold, you can open up
cargo space at the touch of a button. Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon don’t offer
anything like it. In fact, their 3rd-row seats have to be removed from the vehicle to
create similar cargo space. With Expedition’s PowerFold feature, you’ll be off to your
next errand in a flash. And thanks to thoughtful standards like a separate set of audio
and climate controls for those in the 2nd row, and best-in-class leg room in the 3rd row,
all of your passengers will be happy to tag along.
Power up to its full POTENTIAL.
Right now, you’re peering into the cavernous expanse of 130.8 cu. ft. of cargo space
behind the 1st row in Expedition EL. That’s a lot of potential for whatever you need to
do. Note the flat loadfloor — standard on both Expedition and Expedition EL. It’s created
by our exclusive Cargo Mode, which allows you to position the folded 2nd-row seatbacks
in alignment with those of the 3rd row. This extremely level playing field makes it
easy to transport long, flat items inside. Add the push-button convenience of the
available PowerFoldTM 3rd-row seat — first from Ford Motor Company — and let the home
improvement projects begin. Need space, but not quite as much as Expedition EL offers?
Stick with the original short-wheelbase Expedition. It serves up an ample 108.3 cu. ft. of
cargo space behind the 1st row. Plenty of room for life’s demands.
Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and weight distribution.
Master your day with its
QUIET CONFIDENCE.
Expedition’s commanding interior is all the more appealing when you realize you’re enjoying
it in such relaxing quiet. All that peace is thanks, in part, to the class-exclusive Quiet
Steel® laminate in the dash panel and oil pan, an acoustic-laminate windshield and thick
side glass. These materials were carefully selected to help keep wind and road noise to
a minimum. The result? Everybody can hear each other using their “inside” voices. New
for 2008, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated sideview
mirrors, and our class-exclusive keyless-entry keypad are all standard on XLT. Go for
the optional SIRIUS Satellite Radio1 to start surfing over 130 channels of coast-to-coast
sports, news, entertainment and 100% commercial-free music. And use the available voiceactivated,
DVD-based Navigation System with intersection programming to stay on track.
Quiet Steel is a registered trademark of Material Sciences Corporation.
Trust its innate STABILITY.
You’ve got places to go, things to see, and lots of people and stuff to take along. And
you want to enjoy the ride. No matter what Mother Nature throws at you. Expedition
is the answer. It gives you full-size utility, plus remarkable stability courtesy of
AdvanceTrac® with class-exclusive RSC® (Roll Stability ControlTM). An electronic stability
enhancement system that actually measures what other manufacturers’ systems ignore
or can only estimate, AdvanceTrac with RSC features a unique vehicle-roll motion sensor
that works in conjunction with the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), traction control and
yaw control. The sensor directly measures the vehicle’s roll-rate 100 times every second,
which is used to determine when and how the system will apply individual brakes and
modify engine power to help keep all 4 wheels firmly planted. And it’s standard on every
Expedition and Expedition EL.
Standard for 2008: ALL 6 AIRBAGS.
This Expedition is the safest ever.2 And it’s no wonder with such a long list of standard
safety and security features — now including all 6 airbags. That’s right. You get the dual
front airbags of our Personal Safety System® (PSS) and the 3-row side-curtain airbags
in our patented, first-in-class Safety CanopyTM System, plus front-seat side airbags. All
standard. And always at the ready. In fact, a suite of sophisticated sensors is constantly
feeding information to the PSS so that it can enhance protection for the driver and rightfront
passenger in certain frontal collisions by customizing the deployment of the dualstage
front airbags. Every Expedition also gets 3-point safety belts at all outboard seat
positions as well as at the 2nd- and 3rd-row center positions, our SecuriLock® passive
anti-theft ignition system, and autolocking doors for added peace of mind.
