2015 Ford Expedition and 2015 Lincoln Navigator Test Drive - Fox News
The aluminum-bodied F-150 pickup may be Ford's biggest news for 2015, but there's another updated full-size truck in its showrooms. It may not look like it — in fact, it doesn’t — but the Expedition SUV has been given its first major makeover in eight years, along with its rich sibling, the Lincoln Navigator, with the changes mostly coming under the skin. 2015 Ford Expedition King Ranch. Unlike the F-150, aside from the aluminum hood and tailgate that it’s had for years, the Expedition is still a steel-bodied truck. For a starting price of $45,040, the Expedition now comes with Ford's much-ballyhooed 3. 5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, which pumps out 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy also improves by more than 10 percent across the lineup, with 2WD models rated at 22 mpg highway, up from 20 mpg. It’s also more potent than the Chevy Tahoe’s V8 and gives the Expedition a best-in-class maximum tow rating of 9,200 pounds. Despite the impression that big SUVs are exclusively used as mall crawlers, many of them are actually purchased to pull things around in lieu of a pickup, so this is an important metric.
