For 2007, the Expedition will be redesigned, utilizing
the T1 platform originally launched with the F-150.
The new platform provides 10% more torsional rigidity
than the previous model, and includes the independent
rear suspension. As in previous years, the Expedition
is powered by the 5.4 L Triton V8 engine, rated
at 300 hp and 365 lbf·ft (495 N·m)
of torque, which when properly equipped can tow
up to 9,100 lb (4,130 kg). In addition, a 4.6 L
V8 gas-electric hybrid, rated the same for both
power and torgue as the 5.4 L, and a 4.5 L V8 diesel
engine, rated at 300+ hp and 450 lbf·ft,
will be evailable for the 2007 lineup. |
