Ford Expedition

Expedition is quite simply the do-it-all SUV. A standard 5.4L V8 delivers 310 horsepower and 365 lb.-ft. of torque – enough to pull up to 9,200 lbs. when properly equipped. When the road goes from dry to filled with snow, ice or gravel, the available Control Trac® Four-Wheel-Drive (4WD) System helps provide more sure-footed traction. The independent rear suspension helps ensure your trips are comfortable, on smooth and rough roads alike. Capability. It defines what the Expedition is all about.

The 5.4L V8 is engineered to put the torque where it's needed most – delivering 85 percent of peak torque at just 1,500 rpm. That’s important for pulling a big load from a dead stop. Multivalve technology (three valves per cylinder) allows the engine to breathe freely, increasing horsepower. The 5.4L engine generates 310 horsepower and 365 lb.-ft. of torque. All that power is transmitted to the drive wheels by way of a 6-speed automatic transmission. Its wide 6-gear spread helps the engine generate lots of low-end torque (for tasks such as towing) and provide efficient operation in 6th gear overdrive on the highway. This engine is also flex-fuel capable, so you can run on E85 fuel, gasoline, or any mix of the two.
