Here.
That is insane!!! We had a 2000 Excursion with the V10. It was rated at 310hp and 425 torque. The new Expedition would sure put that to shame. Wish they would offer a heavy duty version like they do the F150. A heavy duty Expedition EL 400hp and 480 torque, OH MY!!!

Now, I'm waiting for my moms 2001 Excursion 7.3L Stroke. Just breaking 75,000 miles on that one. She can't get it to me soon enough. I'll probably have to pry the keys out of her hand one day.

... the newly designed 3.5 Ecoboost will be an AVAILABLE engine as opposed to being the sole powertrain. I'm wondering of the 2.7 Ecoboost is going to be standard on the lower trim levels. I highly doubt (though I suppose there's always hope) that the 5.0 coyote will be available. I hope the max towing package (I think that's what it's been called on previous Expeditions) won't be reserved for the top trim level.
Concur on both the 2.7 EcoBoost and on the 5.0L !

This new Expedition will fire up Ford's large SUV sales, no doubt.

Ford Explorer or Chrysler 300C to tow with.
Tracer Air 238 to be towed.
Triumph Thunderbird Sport - with the toy-hauler gone it's at home.
Retired very early and loving it.

I was going to say it has very similar body lines to the Ford Flex.

Priced the current equivalent Suburban and fake Suburban's and they all came out in the $90K range...since my Sub has been paid for since bought new...can rebuild it to my liking for way less and still have money left
Built 7.4L to around 500-550 ft/lbs torque and still be smog-able, 4L80E built to take 1,000 ft/lb torque, 4.88 diffs (hope the G80 locker has enough carrier for that), a GearVendors 0.70 or 0.50 OD to split the 4l80E gears to make it an 8 speed, etc, etc...
Of course, it will still be a 21 year old vehicle, but am not into fashion statements in this topic area
Plus...towing is NOT just about torque/HP, but the whole setup to manhandle the trailer during an encounter with Mr Murphy...GVWR, F/R-GAWR, etc matters more than just HP, IMHO...

Would not buy a new 70k SUV would rather spend my money on toys. While the X's power might not be as much the heavy-duty suspension can't be beat for towing. Same thing can be said about the 2500 series burbs with the 8.1
Looks like a bulked up Explorer. I agree they should add a HD payload pkg and a max tow version. that would get a lot of people out of their old Excursions and into new Fords!
If I wanted a new SUV I would buy a conversation of the new 6.7 Diesel truck into a new Excursion, way more capable.
I agree completely. Which is why I still have my X. Can't afford $70k for a new one. And a '16 Excursion conversion at near $100k is out of my range!

10 speed auto should be good for towing. Looking for feedback.
Expedition EL will likely be my next vehicle in about 2 years.
