All new 2018 Ford Expedition FX4 is the most capable off-road Expedition ever

For the more than 20 percent of Expedition owners that use their sport utility vehicle for off-road adventure, Ford introduces the all new 2018 Expedition FX4 Off-road package, making this the most capable off-road Expedition ever. "The FX4 Off-Road package delivers off-road driving confidence," said Mike Kipley, Expedition Vehicle Engineering Manager. "The technology we're using works to adapt to different driving conditions so customers can enjoy the adventure without worry."

The Expedition's all new high-strength, aluminium alloy body and redesigned high-strength steel frame form the foundation for its off-road and towing capabilities. The use of advanced materials enabled engineers to save up to 136kg, with much of the savings reinvested to offer customers more technology and features than ever before.

The Expedition's all new easy-to-use Terrain Management System lets FX4 customers select from seven special drive modes that help the Expedition automatically adapt to different road conditions. This includes Normal for around town driving, Sport for more spirited trips, Tow/Haul for improved towing and hauling performance, Eco for enhanced fuel economy, Grass/Gravel/Snow for loose terrain, Sand for low traction situations and Mud/Rut for uneven surfaces.

Expedition FX4 drivers can also manually select either 2WD or 4WD modes in a given drive mode, depending on their preferences and terrain. The all new Expedition provides generous space, connectivity and smart new technology. The Expedition FX4 Off-Road Package has a powerful 3.5-litre EcoBoost engine, rated at 375bhp and 637Nm of torque, plus standard Auto Start-Stop, an all new 10-speed transmission and available best-in-class towing of 4,218kg.

The all new Expedition's roomy, flexible interior offers seating for up to eight people with a wide cargo area to hold their gear, depending on cargo weight and load distribution. It features a second row seat with tip-and-slide functionality - providing easy access to the third row without the need to first remove a child safety seat. Once in the third row, even adults will appreciate more legroom and reclining seats. The all new Expedition lineup, including the FX4 Off-Road Package, goes on sale in the U.S.A this autumn.
