The Ford Expedition is one of the few
full-size SUVs. Ford has announced that it has a new version of
the Expedition that people who want a full-size SUV and want some off-road
capability will appreciate. The 2018 Expedition FX4 claims to be the most
off-road capable Expedition ever made.
The FX4 brings tech and 4×4 hardware to the mix that
allows the Expedition to operate on trails and unpaved surfaces with more skill
than previously available. The FX4 package includes off-road tuned shocks, an
electronic limited slip rear diff, skid plates, side steps, and FX4 badging.
The FX4 also gets a new Terrain Management System
that lets the driver select modes to optimize driving dynamics. Ford says that
the new FX4 will appeal to the over 20% of Expedition owners that use the SUV
off-road. The truck also comes with rubber floor liners to prevent mud, sand,
and water from fouling the interior.
The 2018 Expedition will go on sale this fall and
come equipped with a 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6 engine that produces 375 hp and 636 Nm of torque.
