2018 Ford Expedition MAX Overview Manufacturer Production 1996–present 1997–present (Original) 2007-present (Extended length) Body and chassis 4-door / Related Dimensions 5,801 lb (2,631 kg) (standard) 6,071 lb (2,754 kg) (EL) Chronology Predecessor The Ford Expedition is a full-size SUV that is made by Ford Motor Company. Introduced for the 1997 model year as the successor of the, the Expedition is the first full-size Ford crossover sold with a four-door body. For its entire production life, the Ford Expedition has been derived from the corresponding generation of the Ford F-150 in production, sharing body and mechanical components. The fourth-generation Ford Expedition began production for the 2018 model year. Similar to the configuration of the and, the Ford Expedition is sold in regular and extended lengths (the Ford Expedition EL/Max); sold since 2007, the latter functionally serves as the replacement for the. Since 1997, the Lincoln division has marketed the Ford Expedition as the, the first full-size SUV sold by a luxury auto brand in North America (the Expedition was never sold as a ).

The third Ford vehicle to use the Expedition nameplate, the full-size SUV follows a 1992 F-150 Eddie Bauer concept vehicle and a 1995 trim level package on the two-door. Prior to 2009, the Ford Expedition was assembled at the in (previously home to the Ford Bronco)., After 2009, the Ford Expedition was moved to the in. Contents. Vehicle background The Expedition offered up to nine-passenger seating in model years before 2009 (with a front bench seat option in the first row); 2009–present has bucket seats in the first row and seats eight passengers. It is equipped with a. It is similar to the, especially in Limited (2005–present) or King Ranch (2005–2017) high-end trims; both of which were introduced for the 2005 model year.

With the 2011 model year, the base model was designated XL, an upgraded XLT, and new for 2011 XLT Premium that replaced the trim (1997–2010) which was phased out from the entire Ford vehicle lineup. As of 2010, over 1,545,241 Expeditions (both standard and EL/Max) have been sold. A modified Special Service Vehicle version is available for, and. The Ford Expedition is also known for being one of the longest-lasting vehicles on the road. With 5% of vehicles over 200K miles, it landed the #4 spot in a 2016 study by listing the top 10 longest-lasting vehicles.

The Expedition is also the last current Ford vehicle to retain its classic older look from the late 1990s and early-mid 2000s Ford vehicles with its triangular-styled taillamps and rounded-rectangular shaped headlamps along with the overall boxy shape of the body. Ford Expedition Known internally at Ford as the UN93, the first generation Expedition was developed under the UN93 program from 1993 to 1996, headed by chief engineer Dale Claudepierre at a cost of $1.3 billion USD. Initial planning began in 1991 parallel to PN96 F-Series development, prior to the UN93 program fully being approved in 1993. Styling approval was completed in early 1993 (3 1/2 years ahead of 1996 production) under design chief Bob Aikins, with the UN93 design being frozen by September 1993, at 34 months prior to July 1996 production commencement. The all-new full-size SUV was unveiled on May 9, 1996 and launched on October 2, 1996 as a 1997 model. It replaced the aging two-door. The XLT was the base model.

The Expedition featured optional three row seating, first row captains chair seating, available second row captains chair seating, leather seating surfaces, illuminated running boards, heated side view mirrors, power, dual zone climate control and Ford's Mach audio sound system with rear. Many of these features were standard on the version. Expedition was available with automatic full-time four-wheel drive with two-speed dual range BorgWarner 4406 and a center. ControlTrac was introduced in 1995 and included four selectable modes: Two High, Auto, Four High (lock) and Four Low (lock).

Two High mode and Auto mode with auto-lock was not available. A short- & long-arm (SLA) independent front suspension with speed-sensitive power-assisted steering was combined with a multi-link rear. Optional equipment included off-road under-body skid-plate protection, Traction-Lok rear, and a heavy-duty trailer towing package. Optional was an electronically controlled system that would raise and lower the vehicle depending on road and load conditions. The system also included a kneel-down mode for easier ingress and egress, as well as loading cargo, Standard was the 4.6 liter Triton V8 with the 5.4 liter version optional. The first generation Expedition was rated as a (LEV).

The latter engine combined with the heavy-duty trailer towing package and appropriate axle ratio can achieve a of 8,100 lbs (3,674 kg). 1999–2002 facelift The 1999 model year received a facelift similar to that of the 1999 model year.

Included in the update was a new front grille which now dropped lower in the center, grille work, as well as a new front bumper that incorporated the fog lamps into the lower valance and larger center air intake. Both the 4.6 liter and 5.4 liter V8 engines received updates including more power and torque. The Two High mode for automatic full-time ControlTrac four-wheel drive equipped models was dropped leaving only Auto, Four High (lock) and Four Low (lock) modes. The dashboard also received an updated radio and air conditioning controls and revised Gauge Cluster and a Digital Odometer for the first time. 2012 Ford Expedition No major cosmetic or mechanical changes. The second heated row seating option was added to XLT Premium and the front park assists became a standard feature on the Limited and King Ranch trims.

2013 No major cosmetic changes; however the XL trim and XLT Sport options were dropped, leaving only the XLT, XLT Premium, Limited, and King Ranch trims. Updates made to the 2013 models (which went on sale in August 2012) included the trailer brake controller system that is bundled with the heavy-duty trailer towing package, a new internal shift control module which allows the six-speed automatic transmission to tailor shifts to engine demand, 10 equipment levels, three new colors (Blue Jeans Metallic, Kodiak Brown Metallic and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat), and a new 20-inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels that was available on both the Limited and King Ranch trims. The latter trim also featured chrome roof racks and side mirrors. Another notable change can be found on the driver's instrumental panel, with the temperature and fuel gauge trading sides. 2014 No major cosmetic changes. Only three trims, XLT, Limited and King Ranch are offered. The Sirius XM with Navlink and HD radio is added to the XLT as an optional feature.

A new, quieter, mechanical adaptive load-leveling suspension system is available, in place of the adaptive pneumatic air-ride load-leveling suspension. When properly equipped the Expedition continues to offer top-end towing capability with a braked trailer towing capacity of 9,200 lbs (4,173 kg or 4.6 tons). Facelifted 2015 Ford Expedition On February 18, 2014, Ford introduced a of the Expedition (U324) and Expedition EL (U354), dubbed the U3242 and U3542 respectively, for the 2015 model year. The '2' signifying the second phase of the U324 and U354.

The debut was at the Dallas-Fort Worth Auto Show on February 19, 2014; because Texas (especially Dallas and Houston) is an important market. Despite a 27% drop in sales since 2008, Ford is committed to continuing producing the Expeditions. Ford started production on the updated Expedition (and Expedition EL, which will continue to compete with the Suburban and Yukon XL) around the first quarter of 2014 and placed the 2015 models in dealerships in July 2014. Ford announced that the three level trims, XLT, Limited, and King Ranch, will continue to be offered along with a new top of the line Platinum trim. On September 12, 2013, (which was the same day that GM unveiled their next generation SUVs), Automobile Magazine posted a spy shot of the 2015 Expedition, which showed a repositioned tailpipe, and a more upright front fascia which bore a taller, wider grille that appeared inspired by the F-150 and Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks.

Official photos released on February 18, 2014 revealed an all-new aggressive -like three-bar grille, which features step-stacked bars that evoke the appearance of stepped armor-plating on an armadillo's back. All-new thinner headlamps were added, in addition to an all-new front bumper with oversized lower air intake. The new bumper also features a lower chrome bar and twin LED fog lamps that flank the chrome bar. Brightwork was added on the rear liftgate; and the tailpipe was repositioned straight, instead of making a 90 degree turn behind the right rear wheel. Expedition remained a (BOF), allowing the SUV to retain its heavy-duty truck underpinnings for towing and hauling needs. The full-size SUV received the 3.5 liter 24-valve V-6 engine which features an aluminium engine block, and twin independent. Power output for the V-6 will be rated around 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, and will be the only engine featured, dropping the 5.4 liter V-8 that was available in the 2007–2014 models due to Ford wanting to make the Expedition more fuel efficient.

Despite the changeover from V-8 to V-6, the Expedition did boost its MPG to 16 (city)/23 (highway) for the 2WD and 15 (city)/21 (highway) for the 4WD, but it is now on par with the GM large-size SUVs, which also boasts the same MPGs as the Expedition. In addition to the new engine, Expedition received an updated 6-speed 6R80 SelectShift intelligent gearbox with manual shift mode. Expedition also features a new and Pull-Drift Compensation (PDC) which. The interior remained similar to the outgoing models, but with upgraded materials and a revised prominent center stack, which introduces the latest version of the 8-inch touchscreen and system. With intelligent access was added and the four-wheel drive mode selector (for models with 4x4) was revised and repositioned. The paddle controls was repositioned over the four-wheel drive mode selector, to make way for revised audio and climate controls on the center stack. The new features for 2015 included an optional, revised four-wheel independent suspension system with intelligent continuously-controlled damping (CCD) system that alters suspension settings constantly based on 46 parameters and offers comfort, normal, and sport modes.

Expedition is the first Ford vehicle in North America to have continuously-controlled damping. Other new optional features includes (BLIS) with cross-traffic alert, and a rearview camera and apps for the infotainment system to help with towing and off-road driving, all of which is standard in the Platinum trim, whose seating and interior features include Brunello leather, a red wine color with tuxedo-stripe accents and French seamed stitching, or black leather with Agate Gray accents. The selectable automatic full-time ControlTrac four-wheel drive system continues to be offered, but gains a trio of new off-road electronic systems in the form of Hill Ascent Assist (HAA), (HDC), and Ford Truck Apps (FTA). FTA gives off-road orientation/geometry, 4x4 system status, and traction control system status in real-time. The four-wheel electronic traction control system (brake differential locking control) was to take into account the new V-6's higher torque output and earlier torque delivery. EcoBoost Performance The heavyweight 6,155 lb (3+ ton) as tested, 2015 Expedition Platinum with 3.5 EcoBoost V-6 and selectable automatic full-time ControlTrac four-wheel drive was clocked from mph in 6.4 seconds.

The full-size SUV can clip 100 mph in 18.2 seconds, 110 mph in 24.3 seconds, and is electronically safety-limited to 113 mph. Expedition has a near perfect 50:50 front:rear balanced weight distribution and positioned at 28.5 inches. Expedition Platinum averaged 39.2 mph in a 610 ft run and pulled 0.78g in roadholding testing. High speed emergency braking from 70 mph to 0 (full stop) was completed in 170 ft.

In comparison, the Expedition's main rival took a full 10 feet longer, completing the same emergency brake test in 180 ft. 2016 For the 2016 model year, most of the features that were introduced from 2015 were carried over. However, the Expedition began adding Ford's upgraded enhanced SYNC3 to its trims, as an optional feature on the XLT and standard on Limited, King Ranch and Platinum.

The Limited added Sony's Premium Audio System as a standard. 2017 In June 2016, Ford began selling the 2017 model year Expedition, with no major changes being made and continued to be offered in XLT, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum level trims. This is the final year of the third generation Expedition and Expedition EL (U324) and (U354) Fourth generation (2018–present) Fourth generation (U553) Overview Production September 25, 2017 -present 2018-present Assembly, U.S. Body and chassis Related Powertrain 3.5 L V-6 10-speed 10R80 automatic (4x4 models) 2-speed BorgWarner 4417 High range: 1.00:1 Low range ratio: 2.64:1 Dimensions 122.5 in (3,112 mm) Length 210 in (5,334 mm) Width 79.9 in (2,029 mm) Height SWB: 76.5 in (1,943 mm).

Introduced as the Ford Expedition EL (EL=extended length alongside the Lincoln Navigator L, the variant effectively replaced the Super Duty-based. In Canada, to avoid confusion with the sedan, Ford renamed the extended-length version as the Expedition Max.

Originally intended to carry the name, Ford product planners changed their minds, as the nameplate was already in use for a midsize Ford SUV in Asia. Outside, including the of, and, the Expedition EL is also imported to and sold in the and. In the, the Expedition EL is the only version imported and sold; coincidentally, it is also a market where the Ford Everest SUV is sold. Expedition EL/Max (2007–2017) For the 2007, Ford introduced the extended-length Expedition EL/Max. With a wheelbase stretched 12 inches (to 131 inches) and a length increased 14.8 inches (to 221.3 inches) over the standard Expedition, the EL/Max is sized comparably to the Suburban/Yukon XL, providing additional cargo space over the standard-wheelbase version.

The extended-length body of the EL/Max is distinguished by its longer cargo-area windows and its rear door design (the rear wheels no longer intrude into the lower half of the doors). Alongside the standard-length Ford Expedition, the EL/Max was offered with a single powertrain; the 5.4L Triton V8 was standard from 2007 to 2014, replaced by the twin-turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost V6 for 2015 to 2017. The EL/Max is also sold with both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations.

The larger overall size restricted towing capacity by approximately 300 pounds, to 8,900 lb (4,000 kg) (for 2WD) and 8,700 lb (3,900 kg) (for 4WD) over a standard-wheelbase example. Over its first-generation, the EL/Max shared its features with the standard-length Expedition; for 2012 model, a cargo organizer became an exclusive feature. The Expedition EL was introduced in 4 trim lines: XLT, Eddie Bauer, Limited, and the King Ranch series during the 2007–2010 model year. For 2011, the Eddie Bauer trim was replaced by XLT and XLT Premium, with XL becoming the new base trim level. After 2012, all versions of the XL trim were dropped. For 2015, the EL/Max received the same facelift and upgrades as the standard-length Expedition.

Alongside the standard-length Expedition, the EL/Max also received a 5-star rating from the NHTSA. The Expedition EL was also ranked 9th among the top 15 'Best Family Haulers', according to a June 2009 consumers favorite survey conducted by Edmunds. Expedition MAX (2018–present) Expedition MAX Overview Production September 25, 2017-Present 2018-Present Assembly, U.S. Rear view This version is expected to become more competitive with the Suburban/Yukon XL in the long wheelbase SUV segment, an area where GM dominates; when photos for the fourth generation Expedition were released, a majority of the pictures and videos indicated where Ford wants to target the MAX. Like the (standard length) Expedition, the (extended length) Expedition MAX will also still retain its (standard) eight passenger seating on all trims like before. The MAX will also see a starting MSRP range of $55,000 (US) for the XLT and $66,800 (US) for the Limited level trims, making this more expensive than the Suburban but on par with the Yukon XL in terms of pricing. Availability Full Size Expedition The standard size Expedition are sold in the, the of, and, Republic of China, the, the, (except, and ), (, and ), (, and ), and (, and ).

After the 2015 refresh, the standard size Expedition became exclusive to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Republic of China (Taiwan), and the Middle East. The US and Canadian Expeditions are available in XLT, Limited, King Ranch and Platinum, while The Mexican Expedition offers the XLT, Limited, and King Ranch trims. The Middle East Expeditions are offered in XL, XLT, Limited, King Ranch, and in Platinum (RWD only) trims.

With the introduction of the fourth generation Expedition, Ford will make the SUV available to North America in the Fall of 2017 first, followed by a global launch in early 2018, where it will go on sale in selected countries. Expedition EL/Max For the Expedition EL/Max, all six versions (XL, XLT/Eddie Bauer, XLT Platinum/Sport, Limited, King Ranch and Platinum) are available in the United States. From the 2007 to 2010 model years, The EL/Max level trims were limited to only 3 versions for Canada, Republic of China (Taiwan), and The Middle East, two for Mexico, and one for the Philippines. Canada's Expedition Max offered the Eddie Bauer, Limited and King Ranch trims, Mexico's Expedition Max in Limited and King Ranch trims, and the Middle East's EL level trims in XLT, Eddie Bauer and Limited. The Philippines' lone Expedition EL level trim was the Eddie Bauer model from 2007 to 2010. After the 2011 model year Ford made changes in the international exportation of the EL/Max trims.

As a result of the changes, the Limited trim became the only version available in Canada and Mexico as Eddie Bauer (in Canada) and King Ranch trims (in both Canada and Mexico) were discontinued, while the Philippines and the Middle East replaced the Eddie Bauer with the XLT trim. The Middle East also started to get all of the 5 US level base trims, including the new XL trims that took the XLT's place and the King Ranch trim. With the 2015 refresh, the Expedition EL US level trims are the same as the standard versions: XLT, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum, all four available in rear wheel and four wheel drive. The Canadian Expedition Max are only featured in Limited and Platinum level trims, also available in RWD and 4WD.

Mexico's Expedition Max are available in rear wheel drive XLT only, but available in RWD and 4WD Limited versions. The Philippines, Republic of China (Taiwan), and Middle East ELs are only available in 4WD Limited trims. With the introduction of the Expedition Max for the 2018 model year as the successor to the first generation Expedition EL, Ford plans to make the vehicle available globally, with North America in late 2017 and selected countries in early 2018. Four-wheel drive system Selectable automatic full-time four-wheel drive designed by is standard on all 4x4 Expeditions.

There are four modes: Two High mode, Auto mode, Four High mode and Four Low mode. Each mode can be selected via a rotary control dial on the dash. The Expedition's system uses a two-speed dual range BorgWarner with a controlled variable intelligent locking. The four-wheel drive system does not use a or geared center differential, which are typically found in permanent four-wheel drive systems where torque is supplied to all four wheels. Selectable Automatic Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive Mode Drive type Operation Two High (2H) Rear-wheel drive The intelligent locking center multi-disc differential is inactive, torque is routed to the rear-wheels only, with high range gearing. Imitates and is more economical for on road driving.

Auto (4A) All-wheel drive (unlocked, variable) does all the work, adjusting the split between the front and rear wheels when wheelslip is anticipated or detected. The intelligent locking center multi-disc differential is unlocked and allows for a variable front:rear torque split that ranges from 0:100 to 100:0, or anywhere in-between.

Up to 100 percent of torque can be sent to the front wheels, via ' for temporary front-wheel drive, in extreme situations where the rear loses complete traction. High range gearing is used. For use in all- on road (dry, wet or slippery pavement) conditions or light off-road conditions. Four High (4H) All-wheel drive (locked) The intelligent locking center multi-disc differential is locked providing a permanently locked 50:50 torque split. The front and rear drive shafts are mechanically locked together forcing them to turn together with absolute zero rotational speed difference. High range gearing is used.

Not for use on pavement, only for off-road conditions. If Four High mode is used on pavement, torque windup and drivetrain binding can occur resulting in failure. Four Low (4L) All-wheel drive (locked) Similar to Four High mode in operation, the permanently locked 50:50 torque split is maintained; however, low range off-road is engaged. A default off-road program is automatically selected and (reprograms) the, (engine control), and turns off AdvanceTrac's and roll stability control safety systems for off-road use. The four-wheel electronic traction control system (brake differential locking control) remains active and continues to function as normal. Not for use on pavement, only for off-road conditions.

If Four Low mode is used on pavement, torque windup and drivetrain binding can occur resulting in failure. 4WD Expeditions come with standard dual front frame-mounted closed-loop recovery hooks and available off-road under body protection.

Steel plates are placed over vital areas with a composite shield for the fuel tank. Expedition 4x4s are tested alongside the and trucks at Ford's and. Expedition is put through the same durability tests and evaluations to meet the same durability standards as its pickup truck brethren. Traction control Rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive have conventional open-type with a choice of axle ratios. Traction control systems, both mechanical and electronic, are optional. Mechanical traction control (1997–2006) Both first and second generation Ford Expeditions (UN93 and U222) had optional Traction-Lok rear (LSD).

The clutch packs inside the LSD tend to be weak, will wear over time, gradually losing their ability to transfer torque, and LSD will function like an open-type differential. The front differential on four-wheel drive models are open-type differential. The AdvanceTrac electronic stability control for the 2003 model year. The 2006 was the last model year for the Traction-Lok limited-slip differential. Electronic traction control (2003–present) AdvanceTrac was introduced for the 2003 model year as an optional extra on the second generation Ford Expedition (U222).

Bundled with the electronic stability control system is (functions at all wheels) for Expeditions with four-wheel drive. Two-wheel drive Expeditions only receive two-wheel electronic traction control for rear wheels. AdvanceTrac was made standard equipment on all third generation Expeditions (U324). The traction control system uses four-wheel, four-, four-channel (ABS) to apply and release the on the drive wheel that has lost traction. The ABS clamps down on the slipping drive wheel or wheels, 'brake locking' the differential, which can transfer up to 100 percent of supplied to the opposing drive wheel with better traction.

By ABS 'brake locking' both the front and rear differentials, the traction control system can simulate front and rear. The system works even if two of its drive wheels (one front, one rear) are completely off the ground. Using the ABS brakes rather than mechanical limited-slip or locking devices inside the axle differentials gives quicker response, more seamless performance, and enhanced durability. Terrain Management System (2018–present) Starting with the 2018 model year, the Expedition and Expedition MAX will utilize Ford's Terrain Management System. Buttons to control the 4x4 system are arranged around the central Terrain Management dial.

The system is similar to the one found in the 2011–present Explorer, however the Explorer's system is more simplified. The Expedition's Terrain Management System is adapted from the SVT Raptor to allow use of a 4L (low-lock) mode as well as an electronic locking rear differential. Moreover, the Explorer's Terrain Management System has 4 (four) drive modes, while the Expedition has 7 (seven) drive modes, not including the 3 (three) 4x4 system direct drive modes.

Depending on the mode selected, Terrain Management will control, adjust, and fine tune the, center multi-disc differential lock, throttle response, and (ESC) to adapt the SUV for optimal performance on the corresponding. Towing capability When first introduced in 1996, the Expedition competed with both the and in the full-size half-ton SUV towing segment. New competitors included the (which was discontinued in 2009, but reintroduced in 2011), and. Product research conducted by Ford indicated that 92 percent of Expedition owners use the SUV for vacations. Some 60 percent use it to transport outdoor sports equipment, while 40 percent of Expedition owners use the vehicle for towing. The half-ton Expedition EL/Max competes with the half-ton 1500 and 1500 in the towing segment. Since its introduction, the Expedition's towing capacity has grown from 8,100 (3,674 or 4.05 ) to a current rating of 9,200 lbs (4,173 kg or 4.6 tons) when properly equipped.

The list of towing features is also ever growing. Towing features common to all generations of the Expedition include: smallest possible for increased trailer maneuverability, large to improve rearward visibility, rearward-facing which are helpful to other motorist when the Expedition is towing a long trailer providing added visual safety, heavy-duty flashers, heavy-duty large disc brakes to withstand prolonged braking while towing, and an available heavy-duty trailer towing package which includes necessary additions for heavy-duty towing. As of the 2010 model year, the Expedition received trailer sway control (TSC) as standard equipment.

TSC detects trailer oscillations and corrects it via ABS braking and reducing engine power until the Expedition and its trailer are both back under control. Heavy-duty trailer towing package Expeditions equipped with the heavy-duty trailer towing package are prepped and readied, at, for towing.

The package includes a VESC (Vehicle Equipment Safety Commission) V-5 (or J684) Class IV (Class 4) with capability, heavy-duty radiator, heavy-duty auxiliary cooler, hitch mounted 4 and 7-pin trailer electrical connector and factory prewiring for an electronic module. The brake controller is located under the dash on the driver's side for easy installation of the brake controller. For the 2013 model year, Expedition received the electronic trailer brake controller system, which is now equipped at the factory, included with the heavy-duty trailer towing package.

The Expedition's trailer brake controller features +/– gain brake adjustment with support for heavy-duty trailers with up to four axles (quad axle trailers) and is compatible with electrically actuated trailer drum brakes and electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) actuated trailer drum or disc brake systems. The trailer brake controller is fully integrated into the Expedition's four-wheel, four-sensor, four-channel (ABS), and trailer sway control (TSC). Expeditions were offered with an adaptive air-ride suspension system with self leveling, payload leveling and trailer load leveling capability from 1997 to 2013. For the 2014 model year, a adaptive suspension system with self leveling, payload leveling and trailer load leveling replaced the pneumatic system. Both systems can automatically detect when a heavy trailer is coupled, such as a, and level the load. Additional ride-height sensors placed on the left and right sides of the SUV also monitor and compensate for any caused by improper cargo loading.

This keeps the Expedition running straight and level while towing, and at night helps to keep the Expedition's headlamps from blinding oncoming traffic. Special Service Vehicle.

To compete with large police SUVs that are sold by other automobile companies, primarily the, Ford has made a special version of the Expedition available to, and. Ford calls it the Expedition Special Service Vehicle (SSV). The only differences between the standard Expedition and the Special Service Vehicle Expedition are provisions for emergency services related equipment such as, and. With the fourth generation Expedition (2018–present) debuting in 2017, Ford announced that the standard size version will be sold to government agencies and law enforcement, available in the lower based XL trim only. Ford Expedition Funkmaster Flex special edition 2008 was the only year for the special edition Expedition. In 2005, teamed up with rapper and Funkmaster Flex in a multi-year partnership to create a series of special edition Ford vehicles and advertise the Ford brand.

One of those creations was a 2008 Ford Expedition bearing the rapper's name. This limited production Expedition featured a special Colorado Red and black two-tone paint job with orange pinstriping, 20 inch chrome wheels, 3D Carbon body kit, Funkmaster Flex badging and a custom black and Colorado Red leather interior on top of Expedition Limited standard equipment. The FMF Expedition went on sale in the fall of 2007 and production was limited to 650 units total. Reception gave the 2018 Expedition a good review in its February 14, 2018 article, in which they cite the vehicle’s “blend of performance (both on- and off-road), comfort, utility, and tech that easily make it the new benchmark for the full-size SUV class.” However the review notes that there were a few drawbacks in terms of hp acceleration (coming in second to the 2018 but ahead of the 2018 ), off-road performance, and its MPG estimate. The 2018 Expedition also ranked first among large SUVs with a score of 9.3 from.
