For 2015, Ford revitalised the standard-wheelbase Expedition (U3242) by retiring the naturally aspirated Triton V8 in favour of the twin-turbo 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6. Delivering 365 hp and 570 Nm of peak torque across a broad rev band, scheduled Ford Expedition maintenance safeguards this advanced powertrain from thermal and shear degradation. Positioned against the Chevrolet Tahoe and Toyota Sequoia, the updated Expedition merged truck-grade utility with contemporary turbo torque and improved efficiency.
The 3.5 EcoBoost engine is matched with the durable 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission and a sophisticated multi-link independent rear suspension (IRS). However, the EcoBoost engine requires strict servicing vigilance: infrequent oil servicing accelerates timing chain stretch and triggers notorious 3.5 EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 cam phaser rattle on cold mornings. Additionally, cosmetic integrity requires inspecting the exterior panels, as aluminium tailgate galvanic paint blistering remains an annoyance along the bottom edge of the liftgate.
