The 2007 Expedition has been upgraded and uses a new T1 platform that is 10% stiffer than the previous model, and this model also has an independent rear-wheel suspension. The Expedition is also available with a hybrid version that has a 4.6-liter V8 engine. The car can offer endless space for cargo and passengers with many safety features such as the AdvanceTrac traction control or the RSC stability control system, which are standard. What the Expedition can't offer is of course fuel economy and ease of parking - it's a really great car. However, drivers note that the problem is not that great, as the SUV behaves quite well on the road and is maneuverable enough as a car of this size. The 2008 Expedition is manufactured with a standard 5.3-liter SOHC Triton V8 engine that has 300 hp and delivers good torque at low revs.
