BTM August 2012 101 The Expedition is Ford’s largest full-size SUV, standing out from its competitors due to its combination of smooth ride, quiet interior, comfort and a full-size truck-hauling ability. Moreover, this Ford is the do-it-all full-size SUV — tough, functional and refined, as well as clever control technologies to help customers tow confidently in just about any condition, on- or off-road. “The 2012 Ford Expedition combines capability with comfort and technology for customers who need what only a full-size SUV can deliver,” said Sandeep Mathur, Almoayyed Motors general manager. With a 5.4-litre V8 engine, the car is flex-fuel capable, meaning the engine can run on gasoline, ethanol alcohol or a mixture of both. The standard six-speed automatic transmission allows for smaller steps between gears than a typical four-speed automatic. Delivering improved shift quality, faster acceleration and improved fuel economy. Expedition also features an independent multi-link rear suspension, which allows each rear wheel to react independently to road impacts to provide a smooth, controlled ride. It comes with a power liftgate, where a push of the key fob button conveniently opens or closes the liftgate, allowing easy loading and unloading as well. Ford has gone all out in the safety department providing families with all the security that is expected from an SUV. Trailer Sway Control is standard on every Expedition and works in conjunction with other features to expand its dynamic stability control capabilities. This adds an additional layer of confidence and control when towing a trailer; meanwhile the class-exclusive AdvanceTrac control module incorporates additional software to monitor the vehicle’s performance while towing. The Expedition’s interior volume is nothing less than impressive. With the new model, the cargo stowage options have been further enhanced by clever solutions. The split bench second-row seats, with a CenterSlide feature, allow the centre section to be moved forward almost 11 inches for easier access of cargo from the front-row seats. Third-row seats have an available PowerFold split bench by which one or both seat backs can be lowered flat to the floor with the touch of a button. For the techno savvy, the class-exclusive SYNC feature provides hands-free access with simple voice commands. The feature includes hands-free calling via paired and connected Bluetooth-enabled phone, hands-free music via USBconnected digital media player.
