Car Profiles - Ford Expedition

FORD EXPEDITION

Although not anymore the top pick among the elite, the Expedition is a different beast than the original one. Extended length model made available with more room than before, making the E150 redundant (that's if you can afford this). New generation model had been previewed.

The Good: More space, same power
The Bad: More fuel consumption

Price Range: P3,339,000
