Well it seems 2014 is shaping up to be a monster year for ford trucks. We are well aware of the all-new 2015 F-150 and the 2015 Super Duty updates, but what about the Expedition and Navigator?
The large SUVs are not huge movers volume wise, but they are a flagship product that represents the finest the maker has to offer. I am just curious to learn of any updates to what is known about these trucks. Cheers!

"Gone is the 5.4-liter Triton V8 of the old model. In its place sits the familiar 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Lincoln is touting at least 370 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, making this the most powerful version of the twin-turbo EcoBoost six-cylinder we've seen."

Wonder what this means for the F150's version.

I have high hopes for the 2015 expy... It is certainly a model in need of some major updates. I really don't want to end up getting the wife a tahoe.. The price is ridiculous and I have never been impressed with the fit or finish of the ones we looked at.

It's the same ugly POS we've been seeing since 2007. Ford, this is extremely disappointing. WTF is this crap?

I will admit it needed some refreshing but i always loved the sound of the 5.4 in my grandmas expidition.

Whoa good timing on this, autoblog must have heard me. Impressive numbers for the new navigator, it will really be a good match for the escalade.
The expedition will be closer to most budgets. I would think that the new 2.7 eco as well as the 5.0 would be the engines for that truck. Both would be a good replacements for the Triton.

The new Escalade has the 6.2 with 420HP and 460ft lbs of torque and will likely get the same 21MPG that the Silverado 6.2 gets, and it has a much more fresh and sharp look. I think the Escalade will mop the floor with this tub of crap. Ford focused on the F-150 and left this redesign to the last minute, and about 2 weeks ago one of the head engineers at Ford went "Oh crap, we forgot about the Navigator!". So they slapped in a steering wheel from the current F-150, a MFT unit from an MKZ, took a blowtorch and melted the front end to make it look like this, stopped by Jeep for some taillights from the Grand Cherokee and threw in an Ecoboost. Even Lincoln themselves said indirectly that an "all new" Navigator is coming. In other words, we'll be holding out for another 11 years. Weird move from a luxury brand that says they're starting from scratch.

I really like the current Navigator and really like this new "freshened" version. If I only had $60k+ laying around...... I personally don't care for the new Escalade, or the current version.

I think it looks good and the dash is decent. Also remember a loaded Navigator L is high 60's. A loaded new Escalade ESV is pushing 90K.....

They better at least have the 3.5 Eco as an option on the Expedition.
