According to the attached article, ford will unveil the 2018 expy at a private event. Hopefully this article is accurate, well finally what most of us have been waiting for for hlf a decade, lol.

 

Google turned up nothing new so far this afternoon. I'm anxious to see what they do.

 

i havent seen anything either, im thinking the site was incorrect. more waiting to continue.

 

The Chicago Auto Show is coming up soon and right in my backyard. Trucks are typically well represented at that show so we'll see what shows up.

 

heres the teaser of what fords unbeiling tomorrow. looks expedition-y to me.

 

I hope so! Some decent headlights finally!

Looks like the Chicago Auto Show will be the public unveiling. Press access 9-10 Feb, public access on 11 Feb.

 

took these as screen shots from videos on truck trend

 

Great find. Exterior looks good. I shouldn't be surprised (considering the trend) but I'm not yet sold on what looks to be a console mounted rotary **** for the transmission. Maybe I'm out of touch with modern buyers, or don't want to learn new tricks, but I'd prefer a column mounted lever - leaving the console for more storage.

 

so no change to the pick up interiors at all....what a waste of opportunity. i cant help but think why anyone would not think, "hey i can get a diesel f150 or super duty for the same or cheaper price, the inside looks the same"

 

I'm glad if this pic is correct that ford finally made this truck sporty!!

 

i wonder wat option the bottom rotary dial is.

 

At the shear rate that Explorers are selling, I figured Ford would bring some of that styling to the Expedition, good move. Now if they'd just add another engine to the mix to give buyers a bit more to chose from. The 5L is a great base engine.

 

I think it looks great! The new styling plus a new aluminum body should help rival the Suburban!

If that's the Expedition, then what's this?



An earlier stage of Expedition development? A tactic Ford used to get more news coverage (driving around a camouflaged made-up SUV)?

 

those were old development and powertrain mules.
