What is an Explorer "Expedition"?

[MonaLeMoo]

I have one, and I have no idea what it is really! Is it a special package???? I find it's only on 1995's too!

 

[03ExplorerSPT]

It's a package that only came on the Sports in '95.

 

[Alec]

I think a little higher, a bit larger tires, grille guard, and maybe a few other goodies.

 

[Scormunch]

like 03ExplorerSPT said, its basically a trim package offered on the 95' sports that included two-tone paint, some embroidery and badging. Jason_25 has a nice one: Jason's Registry Page

 

[MonaLeMoo]

Hey Cool! That's what I have! Neato Thanks! I don't have leather though But I do notice it is higher..and more meatier. I like it! BAD transmission..and driveshaft etc. Grgrgrggrgr. SO frustrating.

 

[Crankcase]

It is pretty rare too.....

 

['96explorereddiebauer]

Yeah, they are rare. I rarely see them on the road. Haha...they're just like the Eddie Bauers of 4-door Explorers.

 

[MonaLeMoo]

That's so cool! Yeah black book value of my car is higher than any other 95 explorer..cuz of that package! Hey I THINK it also added the electronic driver seat...aswell as the temperature gauge at the top of the windshield thing. Did it? Or is that standard on any 95 sport?

Umm.. I see Eddie Ex's everywhere I go

 

['96explorereddiebauer]

No...I'm talking about the similarity between an Eddie Bauer Explorer and the Explorer Expedition. I know EB Explorers are common, but trim wise, it's about the same as the Expedition...minus the auto temp control and trip computer.

i have a 95 expedition as well.......not sure what the major differences are but i know the compass and temp gauge are standard on the sports

 

['96explorereddiebauer]

It's standard on the upper trim models such as "Sport" and "Expedition" but not the base trim on 2 doors.

Well now I am just wondering since all the German 91-94 Ex's were limited's and Limited didn't come out here until 93-94 is it possible that the options added were from Overseas standard packages? Just a thought since the 91-94's had the wheel flare and running board options there and they look sismilar to the Explorer Expedition. Also a lot of these Expedition packages are on German Explorers.

Well after gathering these pics I found many 92 models that were from the US so maybe they didn't have Limited's until 93.

Well since I gathered these photos maybe you all can find differences between the overseas trucks and US ones.

here's one

Was the Explorer Expedition *really* lifted from the factory?

I always thought all it was, was a 2-tone/trim/badging package, and the premium interior stuff like the compass and thermometer, otherwise same as any other 95 Sport.

 

[Hokie]

Not sure if it was lifted or not... But for what its worth, my stock '99 Sport definately sat taller than my GF's '96 XLT. Given my Sport had 30" tires where she has 29"s but the height difference was more than 1/2" so there must be something different.

 

[2001ExpSport]

On that one X that looks like a rover, what are the cables for?

i think you're right my expedition doesnt look any different than any 96 sport imo.....

 

[Doug]

Most people put those cables on to keep tree branches out of the way. It's got a ford emblem on the front though the truck looks kinda weird due to the angle it was taken at.

 

['96explorereddiebauer]

Neh...the Expeditions aren't lifted. They're at the same height as the other Explorers.

I have always heard that is has something to do with making tree limbs go over the top of the car.
