Expedition in diesel when???

I want the new diesel Expedition to replace my Excursion, my Ford dealer does not know when they will come out. Also getting impatient so may order a VW Tourag in diesel if its more than 3 months away!!!!

Re: Expedition in diesel when???

Wish to add if anyone works at a Ford/VW dealer please pm me with info on deals you can get me. If you have an 06 Excursion PSD near new miles wise, Eddie Ed. or Limited must have the DVD as well... pm those, want something fairly fast.

I thought the touareg diesel was only made in 04. Scott

Re: Expedition in diesel when???

The Expedition is just a 1/2 ton platform. Would suprise me that they would even consider a diesel for it.

Keep your Excursion, it is a real truck.

Re: Expedition in diesel when???

No time in the future

Re: Expedition in diesel when???

I was under the impression that FORD scrapped the small diesel for the expedition a couple of years ago.

It's become an off menu item dealers dont stock em, but you can still order it takes 3 months.

To replace the discontinued Excursion they are revamping the platform and extending it length wise. My Excursion will be two years old on Aug 9th. has 120K miles a needs an injector, cheaper to replace it. Might keep it for heavy duties long drives, still like something smaller for city daily driving.

Ford decided they needed a smaller hence no more Excursion but still compete size wise with Chevy, hence the sometime announced diesel Expedition for 07....

Re: Expedition in diesel when???

I wonder if they'd put a diesel in an F-150? :evilb:

Re: Expedition in diesel when???

They do have a 6cylinder Powerstroke in production in the Ford LCF medium duty truck. There has just not been any word of it to be used in the Expedition anymore.

Ford showed the new 2007 Ford Expedition and the "all-new" Expedition EL (extended length) at the Houston Auto Show, which opened on Jan. 28.

The Expedition EL is Ford's replacement for the now-defunct Excursion. Unlike the Excursion and Suburban, it has a (second-generation) IRS, and fold-down third-row seats. Like the Excursion and the Suburban, it can also swallow up 4x8 sheets of plywood with the rear hatch closed. It comes with a 300 horsepower 5.4L V8, an all-new first-in-class 6-speed automatic, and it can tow 9,100 pounds. To combat high fuel prices that are bedeviling sales of big, profitable SUVs, Ford Motor Co. plans to offer a more fuel-efficient version of the Expedition. The vehicle powered by either a new European V-8 diesel engine or a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain..
