The looks and features of such vehicles have become more popular with mainstream consumers in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>The Expedition Timberline will be powered by Ford&#x27;s 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine that produces 440 horsepower and 510 foot-pounds of torque.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Timberline sets a new standard with full-size SUV customers who need more passenger space, great off-road capability and a basecamp for life&#x27;s journeys,&quot; Mike Kipley, Ford Expedition chief engineer, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Timberline trim, Ford also introduced a blacked-out &quot;Stealth Edition Performance Package.&quot; Ford also will offer its BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system on its top-end Expedition Platinum for 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The BlueCruise system allows for hands-free driving on more than 130,000 miles of dedicated highways in North America. It controls the vehicle&#x27;s speed and steering, while also monitoring the driver&#x27;s attentiveness through an infrared camera system.<\/p>\n<p>Ford&#x27;s system is similar to General Motors&#x27; Super Cruise technology and would also compete against Tesla&#x27;s Autopilot.<\/p>\n<p>The 2022 Expedition is assembled at Ford&#x27;s Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky, and will go on sale in the first quarter of next year.<\/p>\n<p>The company did not announce pricing for the 2022 Expedition. The vehicle currently starts at between $50,000 and $75,000.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/09\/21\/ford-unveils-new-expedition-timberline-adds-hands-free-driving.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ford Motor on Wednesday unveiled a new<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":139402,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ford unveils new off-road Expedition Timberline;
