The 2018 Ford Expedition with FX4 Off-Road Package is the perfect mode of transportation for the survivalist with a family. A full-size three-row SUV, it's big enough to seat eight passengers, with enough cargo space for camping gear, dog crates, lumber, sports equipment, or whatever your outdoor adventures might require. It tows up to 9,300 pounds.
Spaciousness and towing capability alone aren't enough for a true survivalist, though. It's not enough to be able to bring your family and your gear on the road—you must be prepared for when there is no road.
The environment is harsh outside Burtkburnett, with dry dusty backroads interrupted by the occasional flood, when the Red River goes over its banks. When flood waters recede, what's left of the roads are messy, uneven, and coated with deep mud. That's why the FX4 Off-Road Package uses seven skid plates to protect critical underbody areas from being damaged or clogged, and has a new Terrain Management System with modes for loose sand, and sticky mud.
When the going gets tough, you get going. The Ford Expedition gives you the room to take your loved ones with you.
