Exterior

All Car Rent a Car New York City car rentals say the Expedition looks like an Explorer – but much larger. The Expedition has similar styling cues and profile. Keep in mind that various models have slightly different exterior cues.

Interior

If you’re looking for a large interior, All Car Rent a Car New York City car rentals say look no further. You can fit up to eight persons with the standard second-row bench seat. With the 110.5-cubic-foot cargo area and second and third seats that fold, you’ll have plenty of room to store your luggage. Look behind the third row and you’ll discover 20.7 cubic feet of space. Behind the second row, you’ll find 60.9 cubic feet of space. For taller persons, they’ll be pleased to find ample head- and legroom.

All Car Rent a Car New York City car rentals recommends the For Expedition also for its luxurious accents, including:

  • Leather-wrapped steering that houses audio and climate controls
  • Leather-trimmed frong captain’s chairs
  • Power adjustable pedals
  • In-dash six-CD changer
  • Dual-zone air conditioning

Safety

All Car Rent a Car New York City car rentals say Ford has improved safety features greatly to its SUVs. As noted earlier, the side-curtain airbags and a stability system with a roller-avoidance feature will keep all passengers and the driver safe. Add the standard four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and the all-wheel drive, and you’ll have a vehicle consumers can trust and rely on. For extra measure, you can include the reverse park warning system. For five years in a row, the Federal Government has awarded the Expedition with the highest frontal crash test rating.

Powertrain

All Car Rent a Car New York City car rentals say you’ll receive the quality standard engine – a 5.4-liter V-8 that’s matched to a four-speed automatic transmission – for any of the For Expedition models. This engine features three-valves-per-cylinder technology for optimal emissions performance. Output is 300 horsepower and a robust 365 lb-ft of torque.

Behind the wheel

All Car Rent a Car New York City car rentals say the Expedition offers a smooth ride thanks to the fully independent suspension and steering – compared to most large trucks. You won’t find the head-tossing that usually is affiliated with large body-on-frame SUVs that have a live rear axle. You’ll have good handling on the two-lane roads due to the well-controlled body motions. You’ll need to be aggressive throttle when you’re merging on the Interstate since the peak engine torque is delivered high on the rev end. Remember that even though the Expedition has decent brakes, you still need to leave room to come to a complete stop.

You’ll have a commanding view of the road due to the high and comfortable seating. You may want to invest in a reverse parking sensor for the Expedition that measures 205.8 inches from stern to stern.
