Ford Expedition a winner for large SUV buyers

Ford Expedition has been updated with the latest must-have connectivity features, driver-assist technologies, and premium convenience amenities.

The new generation Ford Expedition comes with more than 40 new features and driver-assist technologies.
“Ford continues to build on its strong SUV leadership heritage, with the new generation 2018 Ford Expedition being the smartest, most capable and most adaptable Expedition ever,” said Crystal Worthem, marketing director, Ford Middle East and Africa. “Active families don’t simply want a big, strong SUV to take them places; they want the journey to be as enjoyable as the destination. And Expedition gives them that.”
Of the new features in the newest Expedition, a great number contribute to Ford’s full-sized SUV earning the tag “Best-in-Class” and “Class-Exclusive.” These include best-in-class fuel economy, torque, towing capability and second and third row space, not to mention the Panoramic Vista Roof that spans two rows — a feature not offered by any competitor — BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert, which now includes class-exclusive trailer coverage, and an advanced cargo manager with an adjustable shelf behind the third row.
Expedition has been updated with the latest must-have connectivity features, driver-assist technologies, and premium convenience amenities. Here are some of the best:
l Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go: Adaptive cruise control keeps a constant speed without having to work the brake or accelerator pedals — plus it automatically maintains a comfortable distance from vehicles ahead, once a pre-set distance has been set.
l Pro Trailer Backup Assist: To operate Pro Trailer Backup Assist, the driver rotates a knob to indicate how much the system should turn the trailer, then the technology automatically steers the Expedition to turn the trailer the desired amount.
l Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection: Designed to help drivers avoid or reduce the severity of frontal collisions with vehicles or pedestrians, first by way of audible and visual alerts, then with active braking if the driver does not respond in time.
l Powerful and Efficient EcoBoost Engine: Expedition comes with the most torque in its class with the second generation 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine mated to a new class-exclusive 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
Terrain Management System: The 2018 Expedition’s new Terrain Management System has up to seven drive modes including a Sand Mode, and, paired with a two-speed transfer case (all four-wheel-drive models) and the rear eLSD (electronic limited-slip differential) that allows a full differential lock, offers excellent off-road capability.
