Yahoo Autos Off-road-focused Ford Expedition reportedly under consideration
Ford made the Expedition better-suited to off-road expeditions when it released the Timberline model for 2022. An unverified report claims that an even more off-road-friendly version of the big, three-row SUV is under consideration, and it might receive a familiar nameplate.
Citing anonymous sources, enthusiast website Ford Authority wrote that Blue Oval executives are debating whether to give the Expedition more off-road chops. Precisely what's in store isn't clear: we're guessing that suspension modifications would be part of the package, and it's reasonable to assume that numerous trim-specific styling cues inside and out would differentiate this version of the SUV from other models.
Interestingly, the publication speculates that the model could land as the Expedition Raptor. If that's the case, it would likely receive several performance upgrades to live up to the name. Ford currently uses the Raptor nameplate on the F-150, the Bronco and the Ranger, and all three models are considerably more powerful than the truck they're based on. Speeding across a desert is the Raptor's claim to fame.
