Full-size SUV buyers are getting younger and more adventurous. And Ford is prepared to meet those millennials head-on — and fend off some competition from the Jeep Wagoneer — with the new Expedition Timberline trim. Don’t view the Timberline as the soft-roader alternative to the F-150 Raptor; the new trim gives the Expedition some seriously badass off-roading upgrades that befit a vehicle called the Expedition.
The Expedition Timberline gets some serious power
FordThe Expedition Timberline gets Ford’s high-output twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine from the Lincoln Navigator, which puts out 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. The previous highs available on the Expedition were 400 hp and 480 lb-ft.

The Expedition Timberline runs on 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires and offers 10.6 inches of ground clearance, more than the Jeep Wagoneer.
