Interior features include an optional navigation system with a 6.5-inch screen, an optional eight-inch flat-screen video panel, MP3 capability and Sirius satellite radio hookup, and the Centerslide modular center compartment. The interior has been thoroughly revised, with an F-150-inspired center stack. Prices have not been announced, although you can expect the standard-wheelbase Expedition's sticker to start around $35,000 and move up quickly when optioned. The EL should start just under $40,000. Both go on sale this fall.

The all-new independent rear suspension is a modified version of the setup already used in the Explorer and Explorer Sport Trac. The coilover shocks and link/arm system in the Expedition is specifically designed to accommodate heavier cargo and towing bigger loads.
