Ford has chosen to refrain from GM's daytime running lamp feature, figuring, as I do, that you have enough intelligence to know when to turn your lights on. In the styling department, the Expedition looks very much like a bulked-up Explorer, though the similarity fades when the two are standing side by side. The Expedition's front end echoes the F150 more than it does the Explorer, and it's obviously executed on a more heroic scale. Ford's big bopper isn't quite as blocky as the GM entries, and its rounded, modestly inclined snoot makes for better forward vision. But exhaustive consumer clinics consistently nixed any attempts at more aerodynamically adventurous designs.
Expeditions are four-door only.
Ford suggests that buyers who might prefer a two-door version will gravitate to a SuperCab F150, which strikes me as nonsense. I don't mean to suggest that the Tahoe and Yukon are suddenly obsolete. You can't go wrong with either one. But the Expedition is better, and its pricing, which includes a compelling list of standard equipment, will be competitive. None for pre-production vehicles.
