The Ford Expedition is exploring new territory with the help of Fox Factory, which has collaborated with Ford on a build called Project Overland.
It started with an Expedition Tremor, which is the most off-road capable version of the full-size SUV. It comes equipped with a 440 hp turbocharged 3.5-liter V6, a locking rear differential, 10.6 inches of ground clearance, underbody protection, and off-road drive modes and other off-road features.
The Project Overland gets a 2″ lift, Fox 2.0 Performance Series coilovers and a set of wheels from the F-150 Raptor R wrapped in BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, a 2″ lift kit with FOX 2.0 Performance Series coilovers.
The powertrain is upgraded with a higher performance intercooler and the front bumper replaced with one from the F-150 Tremor, which has an integrated Warn winch. The Expedition and F-150 share frame and chassis components, the biggest difference being that the SUV has an independent rear suspension.
Rigid off-road lights and scene lights are added to the roof rack, which also carries TRED Pro recovery boards, a LockNLoad platform Yakima SkyRise HD tent and an OverNOut awning.

The configuration isn’t being offered for sale yet, but will be on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show, where Ford will be keeping an eye on customer interest. Fox Factory already offers several lifted and lowered F-Series pickups, so the Expedition could potentially find its way into the lineup in the future.
