2018 Ford Expedition

flexpedition,

Great pictures! Thanks! My 17 has that same sound shield windshield logo. The three lines on the door handle are probably for the intelligent keyless entry. If you have the key in your pocket you just touch the lines on door handle and it will unlock the door for you.

Flex,

Those are some dynamite pics and thanks for taking the time to take & post them for us!

Now that DL has found that the Navigator is going to have HUD, I wonder if that rectangular box makes more sense now? Maybe HUD also as an option on the Platinum series?

Maybe I might have to trade my 17 in on an 18! I think I'll keep what I have, maybe. LOL

Go ahead Andy...when you're rich you can do that....us poor guys just have to make do.........I'm just teasing buddy but that's the "danger" in looking too long and too hard at the newer, younger, better built models....and it applies to a lot more than just trucks!

Don't recall seeing this discussed, but Ford Canada "accidentally" posted specs (which have since been removed) that said the truck will have 400HP, 480ft/lbs torque.

The story:

The hard-to-see-but-its-right-there screen grab before Ford.CA removed it:

And it does appear to make for a good police cruiser:

 

[dlcorbett]

a lot of us believe the platinum trim will have a 400 hp tuned 3.5l and the other models will havr the std 365hp tune

Sharing a few more noteworthy pics I snapped:

Dual panel vista roof:

Its nice to see the roof panel indentions that can hold about a gallon of water have been inverted.

I was told this display / test mule truck was "99% of what the production model would be" and I noticed the roof rails didn't seem to have any noticeable provisions for cross bars. Odd.

The following are all suspension related and were all taken (I believe) from the passenger side. It appears this Platinum model does not have air load leveling rear suspension. Otherwise, it looks like Ford is keeping the front and rear geometry largely unchanged.

Rear HVAC looks similar if not unchanged:
