2003 Ford Expedition
The 2003 Ford Expedition is a full-size SUV with plenty of ruggedness
and a long list of impressive performance features. When you take a look
at an Expedition on the road, this is generally the first thing that comes
to mind. But it is the interior styling that really sets the 2003 Ford
Expedition apart, as it offers a surprisingly refined cabin filled with
features that result in both passenger and driver comfort.
Available Models
The 2003 Ford Expedition is offered in a wide variety of models, including
XLT Value, Popular and Premium. In addition, there is an XLT FX4 Off-Road
model and a top-line Eddie Bauer trim level.
Interior Features
The four-door 2003 Ford Expedition is a full-size SUV in every sense of
the term. With a wheelbase of 119 inches, the Expedition can seat up to
nine people without a problem. It is designed with a convenient layout
for large families who also have a taste for adventure. For 2003, the
Expedition becomes even more practical with a first-in-the-industry power
fold-down 3rd-row seat, allowing owners to easily increase the trunk space
to accommodate a large volume of goods.
Though at the entry-level, the XLT Value model still offers front air
conditioning, cruise control, front split bench seat with lumbar adjustment,
6-way power driver seat, power-adjustable pedals, an AM/FM/cassette/CD
player and more. The top-line Eddie Bauer loads on the comfort with leather
upholstery, an Audiophile AM/FM radio with in-dash 6-disc CD changer,
steering-wheel radio controls and a trip computer.
Exterior Features
The 2003 Expedition has been redesigned inside and out, resulting in an
even more capable SUV with a healthy dose of modern style as well. The
new Expedition is given a more assured, wider stance to handle the rigors
of the road, while jeweled quad headlamps with bright chrome reflectors
offer better functionality and a clean appearance.
Performance
Performance certainly is not an issue with the Expedition. The standard
engine, a 4.6-liter V8 capable of 232 horsepower at 4750 rpm and 291 lb-ft
of torque at 3450 rpm, gets up to speed very quickly, no matter how much
weight it is carrying. Optional on all models except the Value trim level
is an upgraded 5.4-liter V8, which doles out 260 horsepower at 4500 rpm
and 350 lb-ft of torque at 2500 rpm. All models are available in 2WD or
4WD configurations, the latter being an advanced four-wheel-drive system
that automatically adjusts to a variety of surface conditions.
New independent rear suspension greatly improves the Expedition's ability
to track uneven pavement or terrain for improved ride comfort and control.
For exceptional off-road capabilities, one need only purchase the XLT
FX4 Off-Road model, which comes with the 5.4-liter V8 engine and 4WD standard,
plus all-terrain white letter tires.
Safety and Security
Safety is achieved with standard antilock 4-wheel brakes, a brake assist
feature and dual front airbags. Optional equipment includes curtain side
airbags, an antiskid system and a tire-pressure monitor.
