2011 Ford Expedition 4x4

[Ryan03]

I bought my wife a new buggy today. It is a 2011 Ford Expedition 4x4 with the heavy duty trailer tow package. All I can say is wow, what a pleasure to drive. She has already told me hands off, this one is HERS Here are a few pics.

I like the Expedition. My dad has had 2 4x4 5.4L ones and my Uncle has had 1 and its brother, the Lincoln Navigator. It is time for a update to the design though. Still a nice truck, just getting a little dated.

Congratulations.

By the way they did not have a single issue with any of them other than my cousin Mandy running into my uncles last one in the drive. My uncle pulled a 8,000# boat with both of his. My father only pulled a 5,500# boat.

Very nice!!! When the wife says "hands off" they usually mean it.

My wife's H3 is hers and hers alone.

I will still do most of my towing with my 2500 Silverado. We will probably only tow our 18ft open car hauler with either a couple ATV's, or one of our classics cars to yearly club events, the cars weigh 3700 and 3900lbs. Total trailer weight will be around 6k with the cars. It is rated to tow 8900lbs.

This will mainly be my wifes daily driver to work, as we live well under 10 miles from her place of employment, so the gas wont be a big deal. We will also use it for family vacations a couple times a year.

This replaces a 2003 Trailblazer, which was fine for around town, but things got a little cramped with a toddler, a dog, and a weeks worth of luggage on a 12 hour trip. The Trailblazer also was to small to safely tow one of our cars on the open trailer.

It has the basic 5.4 Triton V8. It is the only engine available. I beleive it is rated at 310 HP and 365 lb/ft torque. It does not set the world on fire, but the truck is far from under powered. Average mileage so far is around 15mpg with a mix of highway and rural 2 lane blacktop driving.

A diesel would be a great option in one of these, but unfortunately not available.

I bought an '11 Expedition King Ranch 4x2 back in December. It's the fifth Exp I've had since '97 and the first that's not 4x4. Excellent vehicles, highly underrated.

Very nice. I like those now, especially since they turned my favourite (the Explorer) into a car based station wagon.
They seem to be mostly just wider than my Explorer, not a lot longer?....is it still pretty maneuverable? My wife has a heck of a time when she has to take my F-350 crew cab long box.
