Ford built a one-off overlanding concept based on the Expedition Tremor to explore what customers might want from a purpose-built full-size SUV. The automaker calls it the Expedition Tremor: Project Overland.
Ford said nearly 25 percent of its U.S. sales are off-road models. The concept was built in collaboration with Fox Factory Vehicles and Ford's parts department.
The build sits on Fox dampers that provide a two-inch lift. It uses wheels and BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires from the F-150 Raptor R. A modular F-150 Tremor front bumper replaces the stock unit and includes the Raptor's hidden winch mount paired with a Warn winch.
Rigid lighting comes via ditch, roof, and DC scene lights. Tred Pro recovery boards help with traction. Yakima Skyrise HD Rooftop Tent, OverNOut awning, and Ford Liftgate side curtains provide campsite comfort.
Ford and Fox Factory Vehicles treated the build as a test bed for future possibilities and insight into what customers want from full-size SUVs. You cannot currently order one from a dealer, though most individual parts are available for purchase. Ford said if there is enough interest, it could eventually put a more serious Expedition into production.
