2010 Ford Expedition: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Ford Expedition may receive freshened styling. This is Ford's largest SUV, and it should remain available in regular length as well as the Expedition EL, which is 12 inches longer in wheelbase and about 15 inches longer overall. Both versions should continue to seat up to eight. The sole powertrain for all models should remain a 310-hp 5.4-liter V8 engine paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. All models should continue to have the ability to run on E85 ethanol-blended fuel. Maximum towing capacity should remain 9200 lb. Rear-wheel drive should be standard. Likely remaining available is a full-time 4-wheel-drive system that can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes a low-range gear for off-roading. XLT, Eddie Bauer, King Ranch, and Limited trim levels should be offered. Available safety equipment should include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Ford's Sync, which is a voice-activated interface for cell phones and digital music players, should also be available. A navigation system with real-time traffic, weather, and entertainment information should also remain available. Heated second row seats should be standard on the Limited and King Ranch. Likely remaining available on Eddie Bauer, Limited, and King Ranch is a power-folding 3rd-row seat. Ford's SOS Post-Crash Alert, which flashes the turn signals and honks the horn to alert first responders to the vehicle's location, should also be available. Note that the Lincoln Navigator is a luxury version of Expedition with different styling, features, and pricing. This report is based on evaluations of the 2009 Ford Expedition.
