2012 Ford Expedition Performance and Handling
Powered by a 5.4L SOHC 3V Flex Fuel V8 engine, the 2012 Ford Expedition achieves 310 horsepower - plenty of ponies for this large SUV. A full body-on-frame truck-based design provides seating for a maximum of eight people (with two rows of bench seats) and a rigid, aggressive body. But don't be intimidated: The Ford Expedition provides a fun, responsive ride. "Because Ford gave the 2012 Expedition an independent rear suspension (the two rear wheels can move independently of each other due to each being attached to a separate axle), its ride and handling are far from truck-like," according to Kelley Blue Book. "Whereas a solid-axle vehicle tends to hop around on rough pavement and perform poorly in tight turns, the Expedition's suspension seems unfazed by bumps, ruts and other road obstacles." Rear-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission are standard, adding up to 20 MPG hwy, and four-wheel drive with 18 MPG hwy is optional. The Ford Expedition will be particularly attractive for large or busy families who want the practicality of an SUV with towing capabilities. This hauler can tow up to a gross combined weight rating of 12,300 pounds (four-wheel drive extra-long trim), and with a heavy-duty trailer towing package, that number is bumped to 15,000 pounds for all trims.

2012 Ford Expedition Features and Options
The Ford Expedition comes in four distinct trims, with an elongated wheelbase optional for every trim. The basic trims, the XL and XLT, are nicely equipped, but the Limited and King Ranch trims have premium options that match them with luxury SUVs such as the Lincoln Navigator. If you opt for the second-row bucket seats, seating capacity is reduced to seven people, but many claim the added comfort is well worth the swap. The bench seats, however, are made with premium cloth and can be folded down. The third row folds flush to the floor of the vehicle, opening up the trunk cargo space to 55 cubic feet behind the second row and 130.8 behind the first. A power liftgate (Limited and up) makes accessing this area even easier. Ford's SYNC infotainment system, often considered the best in its class, is standard on the XLT and up, as is a reverse sensing system, something you'll find endlessly useful in this hefty vehicle. The Limited adds heated and cooled leather bucket seats, wood interior trim, chrome luggage rack side rails, a rearview camera, the heavy-duty trailer tow package, black-out headlamps and body-color running boards. And if that isn't enough for you, the King Ranch makes significant upgrades to the exterior, with pale adobe metallic bumpers, front lower fascia, lower bodyside cladding, wheel-lip moldings and running boards, plus 18-inch machined aluminum wheels with King Ranch cap and carpeted first- and second-row floor mats with King Ranch logo. Those wheels can even be upgraded to 20 inches, tricking out your Expedition before it even leaves the lot. A power moonroof and power-deployable running boards can be added as a package, and a voice-activated navigation system can be added as a standalone option. Regardless of your needs, budget and lifestyle, if you're in the market for a large, functional SUV, the Ford Expedition can be optimized to meet your specifications.
