Ford recently introduced the all-new Expedition. An all-new high-strength, aluminum-alloy body and redesigned high-strength steel frame form the foundation for Expedition’s rugged off-road and strong towing capabilities.
With its roomy, flexible interior, the all-new Expedition is the first full-size utility to feature a sliding 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.
Expedition’s available Wi-Fi hotspot supports as many as 10 devices at once — up to 50 feet from the vehicle — while an available dual-headrest rear seat entertainment system provides a next-generation video experience that allows passengers to watch live TV via SlingPlayer on either of two video screens. The system represents the first time SlingPlayer — which connects to a user’s home Slingbox account — is offered in an automobile.
Powerful and efficient, Expedition’s new 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and 10-speed automatic transmission produce up to 400 horsepower and 480 foot-pounds of torque. Expedition delivers 9,300 pounds of towing capability.
An Expedition FX4 Off-Road Package is available. The package includes a patented electronic limited-slip rear differential, off-road-tuned shocks, all-terrain tires, seven different skid plates, unique 18-inch magnetic metallic-painted cast-aluminum wheels, chrome running boards, FX4 badging and new rubber floor liners.
The all-new Expedition is available in XLT, Limited and Platinum series. In addition, an XL version is available for fleet customers, from law enforcement to emergency services. All series are available on the extended-length Expedition Max.
The all-new 2018 Ford Expedition XLT carries a starting MSRP of $51,790 for the base model. The top-of-the-line Platinum Max starts at $75,720. Add four-wheel drive, a heavy-duty trailer tow package, dual-headrest rear entertainment system, first and second row floor liners and leather-trimmed second row bucket seats, and it will carry a price tag just north of $84,000.
Servicing the 2018 Ford Expedition
The 2018 Ford Expedition is equipped with the intelligent oil-life monitor system, which displays a message in the information display at the proper oil change interval. This interval may be up to one year or 10,000 miles (16,000 km).When the oil change message appears in the information display, it is time for an oil change. The oil change should be performed within two weeks or 500 miles (800 km) of the message appearing. The intelligent oil-life monitor should be reset after each oil change.
Drivers who use the vehicle under normal conditions — normal commuting with highway driving, no, or moderate, load or towing, flat to moderate hilly roads and no extended idling — can expect to see the oil change required message every 7,500-10,000 miles (12,000-16,000 km). Drivers who use the vehicle under severe conditions — moderate to heavy load or towing, driving in mountainous or off-road conditions, extended idling or extended hot or cold operation — can expect to see the oil change required message every 5,000-7,500 miles (8,000-12,000 km). Drivers who use the vehicle under extreme conditions — maximum load or towing or extreme hot or cold operation — can expect to see the oil change required message every 3,000-5,000 miles (5,000-8,000 km).
To keep the vehicle running correctly, it is important for drivers to have the systems on their Expedition checked regularly. This can help identify potential issues and prevent major problems. Ford recommends the following multi-point inspection performed at every scheduled maintenance interval.
Multi-point inspection:
- Inspect accessory drive belt(s).
- Inspect battery performance.
- Inspect engine air filter.
- Inspect exhaust system.
- Inspect exterior lamps operation.
- Inspect brake, coolant recovery reservoir, automatic transmission and window washer levels; fill, if necessary.
- Inspect for oil and fluid leaks.
- Inspect half-shaft dust boots.
- Inspect hazard warning system operation.
- Inspect horn operation.
- Inspect radiator, cooler, heater and air conditioning hoses.
- Inspect suspension components for leaks or damage.
- Inspect steering and linkage.
- Inspect tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure. (If vehicle is equipped with a temporary mobility kit, check the tire sealant expiration use-by date on the canister. Replace as needed.)
- Inspect windshield for cracks, chips or pits.
- Inspect washer spray and wiper operation.
