Nadim Mehanna and our MotorShow team drove the all-new Ford Expedition Stealth Performance Edition in Dubai

Be intrigued with the all-new, off-road Timberline model that is purposely built to handle anything the rough terrain can throw at this SUV. Featuring a lifted, modified suspension, large 32-inch All-Terrain tires and exclusive Ember Red accents, this Ford Expedition provides you all the means to get where you want to go. And with the new, street-conquering Stealth Performance Edition, including 22-inch premium black-painted aluminum wheels and blacked out lights, grille and accents you can be sure every adventure is taken in style.

Take to the road in a sleek and performance enhanced look. The Stealth Performance Edition features 22-inch premium black-painted aluminum wheels, twin-spar Ebony Black grille, Ebony Black power-deployable running boards and tailgate applique, Expedition lettering on the hood, and unique red interior stitching.

"Step into the 2023 Expedition and you will be mesmerized by the impressive combination of a functional and stunning design of both its modern dynamic interior and exterior. Comfort-enhancement factor begins with fancier features like its leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, second-row luxury leather-trimmed perforated seat inserts with quilted bolsters, woodgrain-applique accents on the center console and media bin door. Not to mention, a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel. Now that’s the ideal mix for elevating your travels in comfort and style."

Any organized excursion on and off-road is made easy with the Cargo Management System, included with the available Cargo Package and the available Convenience Package.

Space is never a challenge thanks to the Expedition’s grand, quiet cabin, comfortably seating up to eight passengers.

Traveling through darkness is never an easy task. Luckily, with the LED Reflector.

Headlamps with LED Signature Lighting, the road ahead is much clearer because these lights adjust with your vehicle’s movement. When you turn, the lights turn with you, making your visibility around corners easier, which helps you react faster to what lies around the bend. And with LED lighting in the front and rear, you’re provided with superior light quality while using less energy.

Enjoy an even better view from the backseats. This available panoramic Vista Roof® features two panels over the first and second rows. Once the front panel opens, your passengers are in for an open-air driving experience of a lifetime.

Under the hood, the 2023 Expedition provides the ultimate combination of performance power with the best in fuel efficiency. With its 3.5L EcoBoost® Twin Turbo V6 engine, which includes a new High-Output version that gives you a whopping 440 horsepower and 691 N.m. of torque, the all-new Ford Expedition doesn’t just get you where you want to go, it’ll get you anywhere possible – on or off-road. It’s also designed to improve aerodynamics thanks to the grille shutters and front diffuser, allowing for enhanced fuel efficiency

When you’re on the road, fuel efficiency has to be at its best to get the most out of every adventure. And with the Active Grille Shutters which come standard with the 3.5L EcoBoost^® Twin Turbo V6 engine, the shutters help to streamline the airflow past the underbody to minimize drag when fully activated. Now that’s a power punch like nothing else.

The 2023 Expedition brings more power for added performance - and this can be contributed to its 10-speed SelectShift^® automatic transmission. By maximizing more power for better capability, the Ford Expedition will cut down on fuel consumption thanks to this impressive transmission.

With a polished appearance and improved power, the Stealth Performance Edition comes equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost^® Twin Turbo V6 high-output engine, a dual exhaust system and a sport-tuned suspension. All this strength and energy will provide you with one thrill of a drive.

This feature, now available with the 2023 Ford Expedition, includes a camera mounted within the grille to monitor the road ahead to protect your SUV against harsh impacts caused by any road imperfections. The Suspension Road Preview firms up the suspension for an exhilarating driving experience and helps to avoid and adapt the suspension to any sudden changes like sensing approaching speed bumps.

For a strong and powerful SUV, like the Ford Expedition, enjoying a smooth and relaxing ride is never an issue. Thanks to its independent front and rear suspension, the Expedition will always deliver impressive handling, cornering and the best stability needed as you journey on down those big road trips.
