The Ford Expedition was a full-size 4-door SUV based on the U platform of the Ford F-150. In fact, it shared a lot of commonalities with the F-150 including frontend design, engines and other mechanics. The Ford Expedition was one of the biggest SUVs of the time with a long wheelbase of 119 inches and optional 3 rows of seating to sit 8 adult passengers comfortably. When it was released, two trims were offered: the XLT and Eddie Bauer.
