Expedition Performance
For 2012, drivers can choose from eight models: XL, XLT, Limited, King Ranch and their EL (Extended Length) counterparts. Although already spacious, the EL trims add an extra 15 inches in length, an entire foot of wheelbase and an additional 22 cubic feet of cargo space. The only power option is a standard 5.4L V8 Flex-Fuel capable engine that is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The 5.4L V8 generates 310hp and 365 lb-ft of torque, plenty of power for most applications. Though a 2-wheel drivetrain is standard, all models can be upgraded to a Control Trac 4-Wheel Drive System. Other notable features include front tow hooks on 4WD models, trailer towing with integrated class IV hitch receiver and trailer sway control and a 28-gallon fuel tank (33.5-gallon fuel tank on EL models). Plus, with an EPA-estimated 14 city/20 hwy fuel economy, the 2012 Ford Expedition is capable of attaining a cruising distance of over 500 miles between fill-ups. | |

Complementing the PowerFold system is a power liftgate (standard on Limited and King Ranch; optional on XLT) for added convenience. A 6-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3/SiriusXM audio system comes standard on the XL and XLT.

Optional on the XL and standard on the rest, Ford SYNC lets you connect your Bluetooth-enabled phone and make calls and browse your MP3 player using voice commands. There is even a USB port for plugging in a compatible MP3 player or USB drive.
