With the Excursion discontinued for 2006, Expedition is Ford's largest SUV. It continues basically unchanged with a 300-hp V8, 4-speed automatic transmission, and a choice of rear-wheel drive or Ford's ControlTrac 4WD that can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing.

All models have antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. Options include load-leveling suspension and Ford's AdvanceTrac antiskid system with rollover sensors. Expedition offers six trim levels, all with three-row seating. Seating for up to nine is available. Optional on all but the entry-level XLS version are curtain side airbags that cover the 1st and 2nd rows and include rollover deployment. Other options, depending on model, include power-adjustable pedals, rear obstacle detection, DVD entertainment, and power-folding 3rd-row seat. Lincoln's Navigator is a luxury version of Expedition with different styling, features, and pricing.
