Ford's full-size sport-utility wagon appears in a new design for 2003. The revamped version has room for as many as nine riders and comes with a third-row bench seat that collapses flat into the cargo floor for a slick disappearing act with optional push-button power. A new frame measures more rigid. Width between wheels was expanded for increased stability, and the steering mechanism was switched to a rack and pinion device that provides more precise control. Expedition's standard engine, Ford's overhead-cam 4.6-liter Triton V8, achieves 232 hp. The optional aluminum-block 5.4-liter Triton V8 has been revamped for quieter operation and now reaches 260 hp. Maximum trailer weight rises to 8900 pounds in rear-wheel traction mode.
