The Ford Expedition—a full-size SUV if there ever was one—has been on the scene since model year 1997. What is sort of unusual to think about is that its arrival marked the departure of the Ford Bronco, which certainly was a dimensionally smaller vehicle than the Expedition.
Since ’97, there have been four generations, with the second gen having had a run of just three years, although it brought with it many of the characteristics that are now closely identified with the Expedition, like independent rear suspension and a third row that folded (it didn’t have to be taken out of the vehicle to increase cargo volume as previously had been the case).
