First Impressions of the Ford Expedition for 2009
The 2009 Expedition is an important vehicle to Ford for the sport utility market segment. The Eddie Bauer is a member of a series of eight trim levels for the Expedition which include Eddie Bauer, King Ranch, Limited, XLT, EL Eddie Bauer, EL King Ranch, EL Limited, and EL XLT. The four-door truck with its four-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Ford. There is strong competition from vehicles from Lexus.
