Does it come in a 7.5L? If not, meh.

The 2018 Ford Expedition will be the company's most powerful SUV ever, but exactly how powerful will it be?
When it unveiled the new truck at the last week, Ford said only that its new 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 would be more potent than the 365 hp engine in the current Expedition, with details to come closer to its launch this fall.
Well, a couple of days closer probably isn't what they meant, but the numbers were briefly posted to the company's Canadian consumer website.
Motor1.com spotted the specs, which said the engine will be rated at 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque, the latter a 60 lb-ft increase over the 2017 model. That puts it way ahead of the Chevrolet Tahoe's 355 hp/385 lb-ft 5.3-liter V8, and beats the GMC Yukon's 420 hp/460 lb-ft optional 6.2-liter V8 on torque.
Ford hasn't confirmed the power ratings, but if they're accurate, combined with the 300 pound weight loss that it has confirmed, they should make the Expedition a formidable towing machine.
This could also bode well for 2018 F-150 buyers, as the two trucks are closely related and the pickup is getting an overhaul for 2018, with details to come closer to its launch this fall.
Perhaps much closer.
XLT, Limited and Platinum so far.Ogre09 said:
They didn't mention a King Ranch when listing out the trims. Is it going to be discontinued?
There was an Eddie Bauer F150 as well...kubiak03 said:
To me, king ranch ways seemed make more since for F150, 250 and such. While the Eddie Bauer was for the SUVs

According to Cars Direct, the new Expedition XLT will have a starting price of $52,890, and the Expedition MAX at $55,580. A Suburban LS starts at $51,210. The MAX is apparently going to top out around $80k.
Not exactly shocking, but I had hoped that Ford would try to push Chevy's pricing down a little bit.

I get that, but how does this get them in the action? It's cheaper to buy a Chevy product, the Chevy product is more proven, why would I buy the Ford? They're banking on their looks (which are ripped off from the Chevy) and brand loyalty to compete with the Tahoe/Suburban.

Who the **** would want to spend 80k on a freaking Ford Expedition.
You buy a land cruiser instead and drive it for 20 years instead of driving the expedition for about five years when it's falling apart
Scoop on what?longeryak said:
Price and build now up on both Ford and Lincoln sites.
1ags, can you give us any inside scoop yet?
EDIT- I see that price and build was already posted while I was out of town.
