2017 FORD Expedition EL

The Ford Expedition is a full-size three-row SUV, manufactured by automobile manufacturer Ford. Introduced for the 1997 model year as the successor of the Ford Bronco, the Expedition was the first full-size Ford SUV sold with a four-door body. For its entire production life, the Ford Expedition has been derived from the corresponding generation of the Ford F-150 in production, sharing some body and mechanical components. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives it five stars overall, the highest safety rating possible. The Expedition Reliability Rating is 3.0 out of 5.0, which ranks it 7th out of 14 for full-size SUVs. Similar to the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the Expedition is sold in regular and extended lengths (EL); Expedition also has a high-end trim Eddie Bauer edition similar to the Ford Explorer which includes interior upgrades. The EL is designed to offer even more passenger and cargo space and is approximately 14 inches longer than the standard Expedition, providing an additional 12.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row of seats. The extra length of the Expedition EL also provides additional legroom for second and third-row passengers, making it a popular choice for families and those who frequently transport large groups of people. Additionally, the EL version of the Expedition typically offers more standard and optional features than the standard model, further enhancing its appeal to those who value comfort and convenience.
