Among the best sellers in 2008, the new Ford Expedition is value-for-money and all-inclusive, with the ability to be a passenger carrier, luggage hauler, towing vehicle, puller and more. The 4WD model can be driven under all road and weather conditions and even when there’s no visible path. The 2008 Ford Expedition is a carryover from the 2007 model, with a few improvements and new features built-in for better performance and appearance. The performance enhancement in the 2008 Ford Expedition includes the single overhead cam 5.4 litre V8, rated at 300-hp and 365 pound-feet of torsion. Available as rear-wheel or electronic four-wheel drive, this SUV comes with a towing capacity of 9000-pounds. Standard features include a class III trailer and six-speed automatic transmission.
The 2008 Ford Expedition is priced at approximately $43,000 (€27,500) and is highly sought-after in the USA and Europe. Equipped with an optional third row seat , the SUV can provide seating for up to 9 adults. Based on Ford’s popular full-size pickup truck form, the 2008 Expedition isn’t hard to manoeuvre, although it’s size is fooling.
The fuel efficiency is a slight concern in the 2008 Ford Expedition, which doesn’t seem to have improved much in that area in comparison to the previous models. It runs on regular unleaded fuel. Overall, the new Ford Expedition provides a smooth driving experience and handles itself well, despite its extra size. It’s both a utility and family vehicle – solid, stable and safe for the driver, passenger and other vehicles on the road.
The safety ratings provided for the 2008 Ford Expedition by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Association are five stars for both driver front and passenger crash proofing. The front, side and overhead air bags, stability control, anti-rollover technology, anti-lock brakes and pretensioners all contribute to the high-safety available in the new Expedition.
