* 2014 Expedition specs
Engine & Performance
The engine is the new twin-turbocharged 3.5 liter EcoBoost V6 that is mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission. Four wheel-drive is optional.
The EcoBoost is expected to be much more powerful and fuel efficient compared to the previous engine. It is expected to hit the market later this year.
Exterior
It is hard to tell the difference between the 2015 and the 2014 version. This is because the improvements are limited to the new head and taillights, the addition of the LED running lamps together with the restyled bumpers.
The sheet metal used is the same; there is a brand new grille up front and a fender trim has actually been added to the wheel wells.
New wheels are also offered with an option for 22-inch wheels. The base Expedition has a 119-inch wheelbase allowing for 3 rows of seating or 108.3 cubic feet cargo room.
Interior
Few changes have been effected to the interior. The SUV keeps the traditional look. Ford has added a push-button start and the latest connectivity. An 8-inch touch-screen is found on the refreshed console along with upgraded gauges with twin 4.2 inch LCDs.
Passenger comfort is aided by the independent rear suspension that allows the 3rd row of seats’ to be easily folded flat into this car’s floor.
Basically, this means the 3rd row can seat adults. The interior comes in high quality leather in 2 colors; black or Brunello dark red.
