I'm thinking about a new EB Expedition to replace my 2005, any details on the 2011 yet? I'd hate to buy a 2010 now only to find out there's something I would really want on the 2011's. Thanks all.

Here are the images of the new wheels..

 

Great, thank you.

So for someone who was looking for a 2010 Black w/ Camel interior EB with 2nd row chairs, 373 gears, and 203A package, looks like there are no significant changes at all other that a different 20" wheel and DVD screens in the headrest as opposed to on the ceiling.

 

Yeah, having just picked up a 2010 I prefer the in ceiling dvd and I think the new rims are nothing too great in terms of looks although they probably a better quality wheel, not just a piece of plastic glue to a wheel. Considering the deals you can get on 2010's these days it is pretty hard to justify getting a 2011.

 

rjd75, I have a question about your 2010 purchase, would you be able to drop me a quick email? jknott (at) erols.com Just replace the (at) with a @

Yep, my dealership actually had a 2011 brochure that they gave me, no more Eddie Baur in 2011. Sounded like the relationship between EB and Ford ended. There is a XLT model that is 2-tone like the EBs though.

 

rjd75, are you there? thanks....

 

No Eddie Bauer? No loss.

Maybe they can fill out the two tone line with a LL Bean, GAP, Coldwater Creek, or Lane Bryant (EL only) model to replace it?

Gotta be my age to remember when Eddie Bauer was a real expedition outfitter and not a fashion clothing store. Of course Lands End was a marine supply store specializing in racing sailboats long ago too...

Does anybody have any 2011 Expedition pics?

 

Really no changes other than wheels, DVD in headrests, etc. noted above. What was the Eddie Bauer in 2010 is now called the XLT Premuim Package (similar 2-tone color scheme with lower parts in Pale Adobe Metalic). The XLT Sport package has Gray bodyside moldings, charcoal black interior, etc. Limited now has a chrome grill. XLT Premium and above all get a 110V AC power outlet. Get a brochure from your Ford dealer. Good luck.

 

Those have to be the most lackluster wheels I have ever seen.

 

I thought we might have seen the 6.2 arrive.

 

The XLT Sport hasn't been around since 2007. Does anybody know anything that will be different on the Navigator also?

 

Yep, but the XLT Sport Appearance Package is back for 2011.....
