Ford puts the revamped full-sized Expedition SUV into showrooms this fall for the 2007 model year. The lineup will include an extended-length version, badged the Expedition EL, which is intended to better compete against the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL SUVs.

Exterior changes include a more pronounced grille that picks up the design theme from the Super Chief concept shown at the Detroit auto show. Ford says the new Expedition's frame is stiffer and the independent rear suspension is recalibrated for a smoother ride.

Under the hood is a 5.4-liter V-8 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Stability control is standard.

The EL is going to have to have more than that 5.4L to compete.

 

Agreed.

The Mighty V10 would DEFINATELY spice things up.

 

It looks okay but it kinda looks like a larger Freestyle. It ain't an Excursion, that's for sure!

 

i don't think ford is trying to make it compete with the X. the X was selling less than 12,000 units a month. It showed there was only a certain amount of people that bought them. Ford was smart for cutting the X as part of their restructuring program.
