2003 Ford Expedition

2003 Ford Expedition

This spring, Ford is launching an exploration into deep space. Calm down, Trekkies, here's the interior we're talking about. In particular, the neutral zone, the live axle that causes it to flip over large and clumsy jumbo-ute is located under the third row of the seat of exploration.

Peace and human settlements, thanks to a completely new independent rear suspension, was brought to this sector. Differential mounted in a robust manner (10.5 inch) at the top and the bottom of the frame for a seat that fits the chassis rails with the newly downloaded exceeding axle shafts is leaving.

The three adults. Are you skeptical? Bread and butter family sedan, the back seat of a Ford Taurus, relative to the third order of expedition, 3.5 inches more shoulder room in the same space, and just 2.2 inches less legroom it offers. Best of all, that 60/40 split seat now flat (electricity, Eddie Bauer models!) To endure and never-before-110.4 hangs a little closer to the ground and the rock asphalt-cubic-foot cargo capacity nearly equal to 110.7 percent last year.

The external dimensions of this additional area was colonized in a truck barely moving is impressive to see that show. Weighs a few hundred pounds more, while the sci-fi one with similar or better gas Mileage on occurred.

New aluminum control arms, coil springs rear suspension, reduces the unladen Weight 110 pounds, but the weight of the pavement adds about 75 pounds. A fully independent suspension, with monotube shocks and has 70 percent better torsional rigidity, which is largely fading New has been bolted to a chassis that are connected by hidroform. All of them improve the quality of Driving. A wider stance, standard 17-inch rubber and 29 per cent less friction with a new rack-and-pinion steering system, steering feeling and can be expected to increase significantly. (Lord know there's plenty of Room for development.) Twice as hard as it was before, which is curled with a larger Caliper ventilated disc brakes, improve brake feel and performance, and terrible for drivers to stop panic brake assist to shorten the new property were in demand.

Double five-star NHTSA crash-truck-grade of existing tire pressure monitoring, in conjunction with this year side curtain airbags and seat belt tensioners. Optional AdvanceTrac ® stability control system, four-wheel drive system that holds the front and rear axles was used in conjunction with said first to where.

Expedition four-wheel drive system The transfer case BorgWarner 44-16 the same basic design (without center differential Front Axle automatic for the moment), but the new Front Axle hose connection interrupts, economical two-wheel drive mode allows; none of the front drive mechanisms will return. Computer controls also improved so that the auto four-wheel drive mode, the front axle, the shifting of the lever, the throttle position, steering angle and other sensor inputs depending on the prediction in the case of the PIN wheel will be activated. A new FX4 off-road model (base, xlt and Eddie Bauer priced between), chromed steel wheels, skid plates, and limited slip rear diffusion.

Dismantling of umbilical connections saves gas. Synthetic axle oil is good for 0.15 MPG. New sheet metal (roof and front door skins virtual as carry-on) drag coefficient of 0.44, than by 0.41% sets.

Both the size of the engine and the output does not change, although each one is more powerful when buying a new block, saves 4.6 pounds and 60's is made of aluminum. These and countless other small steps, a point on the highway and 19 MPG with scrolls basic rear-drive all models except for it helps to maintain or improve fuel economy. Loaded The 5.4-liter model, city, MPG 2 cycle skip. All, Ultra low emissions vehicle standards.

However, the interior is superior to expedition. At the forefront of the heated and cooled seats. The middle row or the 40/20/40 bench or Captain's chair can be found. This is the last one moving towards the middle section console, child seats and one step closer to a vision. Line, TT metal-ringed air vents complete with VW / Audi with class materials are molded. And Ford, structural foam, improved aerodynamics and better sealing of the body as 4 DBA in the cockpit promises to remain silent. The crew welcomes Junior DVD system while the ship's captain and first officer are perfect for making a strategic debate between calm.
