and I thought I gained wieght!?!
Howdy folks,
My 2000 Ford Expedition XLT with the 4.3ltr 4x4 almost loaded weighed somewhere around 5,400 lbs or so. I just got a 2008 Ford Expedition XLT, 5.3 ltr 2 wheel drive - not fully loaded and the thing weighs around 7.400 lbs. I know there have been some changes from 2000 - to 2008, but gaining 2,000 lbs pounds?!? Anyone know what drives that kind of additional weight (for curiosity sake). Thanks |
7400lbs ???? :-huh That doesn't sound right. According to Ford base curb weight for a 4x2 should be 5549lbs ( 5844 for EL )
Did you actually weigh it or are you going by the sticker on the door jam ? They do weigh more than the older ones because of all the safety stuff but not 2000lbs. Matt |

Matt I didn't think so either - but I did get an "oasis report" from the Ford Dealership while being serviced. This report gives me the run down on the Expy - build date, warranty info, construction codes, what's on it from the factory, etc. It also states that the Gross Vehicle Weight is 7,400 LB. |
That's the total weight the vehicle can be with all passengers and cargo. Not the curb weight.

Wish I can remove this thread to hide my dumb question ....:-X18 |
Suffer....suffer....suffer...

Better to have asked and know than be concerned about it forever!
