2 sizes: Expedition and Expedition Max. The Platinum gets a high output version of the 3.5L V6 EcoBoost. Raptor power maybe?

Maybe it's coming down under. Looks fairly flash. Another two wheel drive SUV with optional 4WD.
There was talk of the Territory replacement last year, but I thought it was another model. This has a new motor for this country too. In the lower parts of the brochure there is the interesting disclaimer .......... "Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle." |

According to Ford's Canadian site, the Platinum will put out 400hp/480lb-ft (300KW/650Nm).
Even though they have 10 gears, they still have a low range through a transfer case. https://m.ford.ca/suvs/expedition/2018/ |

Landcruiser money? The Everest in mid spec isn't exactly cheap. These things dont seem to be ask focused as the Cruiser for off road etc?

Something I would consider. But we don't get many decent SUV's here so I wont hold my breath.

The 2018 Expedition looks like a giant version of the Ford Flex. The Flex has the twin turbo ecoboost 3.5L V6 with AWD. I like both!

I think I have said before, that the dashboard is designed in such a way that they have left it open to be easily reversed for RHD.
It beats me why they don't bring these out here to try to pinch sales off Toyota. Would not be hard to undercut Landcruiser pricing. Key would be to have a class leading Diesel Engine to do well here. Is there any V8 Diesels in the Ford Universe?

4.4L V8 Lion diesel for Range Rover - not sure if it's in production anymore. Because they have the 3.0 V6 hybrid with 37mpg. It also has around 750Nm combined torque. I think that would be a great option for the Expedition. |

I like the way it looks, with the exception of the rear quarter which just looks really out of place to me.

Not made in RHD = not coming here.

We hired a 2016 Expedition last year while in California for holidays. It was one of the best SUVs i've driven. Great build quality, performance, luxury and handling
I can't see Ford making a RHD unfortunately and even if they did bring out a RHD version, they also need a diesel option to have any chance of success here (ours and others we seen were petrol only). |

The North American Fraud Explorer in its current gen is no slouch, steers handles and brakes as good as or even better than an SZ territory. The fit and finish looks as good as if it was designed and built by Ford Australia. It will hold in excess of 100mph on the open road without breaking a sweat. Took one from Miami to Canada over all sorts of road conditions and it was faultless.

I know there has been a shift from the traditional Aussie sedan but **** me dead SUV/4WDs are massive these days by our standards. I really don't get the attraction to be honest. If I needed one I'd get a Ranger but that thing is still pretty big.

Big cars definitely become a hassle when it comes time to find a park. It's really not worth it.

Not a big enough difference to make me not buy the vehicle just because of parking. |

To each their own, the car parks around here seem to be getting smaller and smaller all the time.

I know it doesn't mean much for Australia unless Ford makes a surprise announcement, but the Expedition is getting a hybrid version. At some point, you would think there may be a business case for this fairly high tech vehicle in multiple countries.
