The Ford Expedition is about to get a new trim level
called the King Ranch. The special model, which was discontinued 2 years ago,
is part of the 2020MY and will reportedly sit between the Limited and Platinum
models.
Quoting order guides that are yet to be disclosed,
CarsDirect said the new trim level will be available in Expedition and
Expedition Max specs, from US$ 74,290, making it about US$ 22,000 more expensive than
the outgoing base Expedition.
On the outside, the 2020 Expedition King Ranch is
expected with a more rugged look, featuring Stone Gray trim on both bumpers,
side mirror caps, roof rails and power running boards. The SUV will ride on
machined-aluminum 22-inch wheels, with a 6-spoke pattern.
Enhancing the design inside will be the Del Rio
leather upholstery on the seats, doors, center console and steering wheel,
‘King Ranch’ logo embossed in the seats, brushed aluminum scuff plates and
special floor mats. Furthermore, the trim level is thought to get a lot of standard
gear, including power folding side mirrors, 360-degree camera system, panoramic
roof and LED lights. The automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning,
blind spot warning, park assist and automatic high beams will be standard.
In the power department, the 2020 Expedition King
Ranch will carry over the familiar 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, delivering 400
horsepower and 651 Nm of torque, with the aid of a 10-speed
automatic transmission.
