It is what you can't see that truly makes the difference in the new Ford Expedition. The Expedition is now outfitted with an independent rear suspension. The suspension, combined with a stiffer chassis, gives the Expedition dramatically improved ride and handling. It makes the Expedition feel far smaller than the large vehicle it is. Ford introduced a similar independent suspension on the 2002 Explorer, but it's more common to cars than trucks. The efficient packaging of the independent rear suspension made it possible for Ford engineers to accomplish a fold-flat third-row seat. Yet, the Expedition doesn't sacrifice its truck-like capabilities. It still carries heavy loads and tows trailers and boats with the best of them. Another major mechanical improvement to the Expedition was the switch to the more car-like rack-and-pinion steering system. The change significantly improves steering response. On our ski trip with the previous Expedition, the driver constantly had to adjust the steering wheel to keep the Expedition in a straight line even on flat highway surfaces. The new Expedition requires only small inputs to the steering wheel, to which it answers immediately.
