Introducing the 2023 Ford Expedition in Huntsville, TX
If you are looking for a new SUV that can transport eight people and just as easily tow a trailer or boat, the Ford Expedition may be what you need. It can also take you off the paved roads with advanced technology to make the experience safer and more enjoyable. At Bill Fick Ford, we realize that the versatility and feature set of the new Expedition will impress our neighbors in Huntsville.
Engine and Performance
The Ford Expedition draws its power from a 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine. There are two different technologies that help this engine achieve an impressive 400 horsepower. It has direct injection tech and twin turbochargers. A 10-speed automatic transmission also comes standard. The Expedition comes standardly equipped with an independent front and rear suspension. This setup improves handling, cornering, and overall vehicle stability. Towing capacity is an impressive 9,300 pounds with the available trailer towing package.
The Expedition Timberline is the four-wheel drive version of the Ford SUV. It increases the horsepower to 440 and has 10.6 inches of ground clearance. The new Expedition Timberline is also available with a skid plate and additional shielding for the undercarriage.
An available terrain management system that has seven different driving modes augments the four-wheel drive system:
- Normal - For commutes around Huntsville, TX
- Eco - A gas-saving mode
- Sport - For higher-speed driving
- Tow/Haul - Maximizes the transmission output for towing
- Gravel and Snow
- Sand
- Mud/Ruts
Control Trac is another four-wheel drive augmentation that is standard on the Timberline trim model and is available on the other four-wheel drive Ford Expedition models. It locks the rear axle when engaged for better traction on sandy, rutted, and muddy roads. This feature is helpful when you are out on a trail that doesn't appear very challenging at first but gets progressively worse.
Trail Control helps with performance beyond paved roads. It allows the driver to crawl forward and keep the brake engaging when the accelerator is not actively in use. This amenity is a highly desired feature on sketchy trails to help you avoid losing control and slipping.
Interior
You can comfortably seat up to eight passengers in the Ford Expedition and still have plenty of room for gear. On certain models of the 2023 Expedition, there is a four-zone exterior lighting system that allows you to illuminate the full 360 degrees around your SUV as needed. Caramel-colored leather seating is an option.
Technology
A 15.5-inch multimedia touchscreen is available for the new Expedition. There is also an available sound system with 22 speakers. Available Ford BlueCruise technology allows you to drive hands-free on certain divided sections of highway. There is also an available 4G hotspot for connectivity of up to 10 devices. The 2023 Ford SUV also offers an available rear entertainment system using Amazon Fire TV.
Safety Features
You can travel without apprehension in the 2023 Ford Expedition. Backing assistance is available for your trailer. It helps you turn the trailer in the direction you want it to go with the turn of a knob in the cockpit. There is also a blind-spot warning when you are towing your trailer to warn you of vehicles oncoming from the sides.
