Is the Power of the Ford Expedition a Reason for You to Get One?

You can’t unsee a Ford Expedition. It has become a sign of prestige and power in the Philippines. Its presence is almost presidential, elitist. It became a common sight on the road through the years as it got bigger, more comprehensive, and classier.

And you, in your simple mind, would think what kind of engine is needed to power that moving city block of American ingenuity and class. Well, you can imagine all sorts of things, but at the same time, you can be logical that the engine that chugs under the Expedition’s hood is not economical.

When the hood is lifted, what greets you is a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine. This is paired to a 10-speed Automatic Transmission. Together, they produce a generous 375 horsepower and a ludicrous 658 Newton-meter torque. To put that in perspective, if you think the Ford Ranger Raptor’s Bi-Turbo engine is enormous, it’s an adolescent compared to this one.

As you can expect, fuel economy is not high. Come on, just like other cars of prestige, you won’t be buying a car like the Ford Expedition if you worry about the mileage. If you do, here are the figures: about 4 to 5 kilometers per liter in the city and about 9 to 11 kilometers per liter on the highway. To put you in perspective again, the Ford Territory does 8 to 10 kilometers by the liter in the city.

But hey, if you like this car, go for it. Better call Ford directly because it’s now not included on their website, but for sure, they can arrange it, like a Starbucks secret menu.
