2026 Expedition:
- CCD suspension is no longer available on Platinum with drivers package. Have to get Stealth performance for $10k more... You cannot get a bench with Stealth, so if you need the bench you get an harsher ride.
- Removed the wireless charger
- Removed power running boards on Platinum drivers package.
- Tremor - Removed added fan from intercooler that was to compensate for heat at low speeds offroad. *seems like this might come back to bite Ford.
I think Ford Aus is having second thought on the Territory name. Just my guess. But they could easily just call it Equator Sport.
Ford Taiwan just launched Territory so it is the first high-income market to get the model. I'm sure Ford Aus and NZ is paying attention how it does and the customer reception moving on from Euro Ford based Kuga.
This is why Ford can't just walk away from EVs, in the rest of the world, their sales numbers of skyrocketing. Hopefully Ford's universal platform can deliver on providing compelling EVs, because the demand is clearly there.
Ford's Universal EV Platform and Universal EV Production System should allow it to outcompete ICE vehicles on purchase prices across every segment.
Hopefully Ford can maintain its BEV rankings in the UK until then
You won't be able to tow a 12,575 lb 5th wheel with the 6.2L and 3.73 gears. The axle ratio is what is your limiting factor. You will need to find one with a 4.30 rear end which bumps the GCWR to 23,000 lb. The 3.73 rear is designed for highway mileage and hauling payload around, not pulling a trailer.
Ford should sell the Territory in Australia, in fact, they should sell it in Europe too when the Kuga goes away. The Territory's rival, the MG HS is also being sold in Australia and Europe.
