The Ford Expedition is a full-size SUV built by the Ford Motor Company. Introduced in 1997 as a replacement to the Ford Bronco, it was previously slotted between the smaller Ford Explorer and the larger Ford Excursion, but as of the 2005 model year, it is Ford's largest and last truck-based, off-road and tow capable SUV. Ford currently offers the standard regular-sized model and the larger EL/Max model, succeeding the Excursion which was discontinued in 2005. It is the second Ford vehicle to use the Expedition name, as it was part of the Explorer Sport's trim models during the 1995 model year. All Expeditions were originally built in Wayne, Michigan. In 2009, Ford shifted its current third generation (2007 – present) model production to Louisville, Kentucky when Ford converted the Wayne assembly plant to begin further production of the Focus.

Although large, truck-based SUVs like the Ford Expedition may be declining in popularity, there remains a need for vehicles with their capabilities. In the Expedition, Ford hopes to meet or exceed that need and, not incidentally, hold onto its share of the market. The Expedition offers what a big SUV should: three rows of seats, cavernous cargo space, and lots of towing capacity. For more new car reviews, interviews and automotive news visit www.kbb.com today.

Model year changes : 2012
Selectable part-time/full-time ControlTrac 4-wheel-drive
Mode Drive type Operation
2 High (2H) Rear-wheel-drive Torque is routed to the rear wheels only, with high range gearing. Imitates rear-wheel-drive and is more economical for on road driving.
Auto (4A) All-wheel-drive
(unlocked, variable) 		Software does all the work. All 100 percent of the engine’s torque is sent rearward until traction loss is anticipated or detected. The infinitely variable center multi-plate clutch differential can redirect any percentage of supplied torque to the front drive wheels while still allowing the front and rear drive shafts to turn at different rotational speeds. If a complete mismanagement of the engine’s power is detected at the rear wheels due to traction loss, all 100 percent of the engine’s torque can be sent forward until the rear drive wheels regain traction. High range gearing is used. For use in all-weather on road (dry, wet or slippery pavement) conditions or light off road conditions.
4 High (4H) 4-wheel-drive
(locked)		 Infinitely variable center multi-plate clutch differential is locked providing a continuous fixed 50/50 torque distribution. The front and rear drive shafts are mechanically locked together forcing them to turn together with absolute zero rotational speed difference. Front drive wheels pull at the same rate the rear drive wheels push, working in concert to move the vehicle. High range gearing is used. Not for use on pavement, only for off road conditions. If 4 High mode is used on pavement, torque windup and drivetrain binding can occur resulting in catastrophic driveline failure.
4 Low (4L) 4-wheel-drive
(locked)		 Similar to 4 High mode in operation, the fixed 50/50 torque distribution is maintained; however, low range off road reduction gearing is engaged. Power is sent through another set of gears. The electronic throttle control is recalibrated via a default off road program. Throttle response is attuned for more precise torque management in off road conditions. AdvanceTrac is partially shutdown, electronic stability control (ESC) and roll stability control (RSC) safety systems are disabled so they do not interfere while the SUV is off road. 4-wheel electronic traction control will continue to function as normal. Not for use on pavement, only for off road conditions. If 4 Low mode is used on pavement, torque windup and drivetrain binding can occur resulting in catastrophic driveline failure.
