2020 Ford Expedition Gets a Hybrid Powertrain

We all know for Ford’s plan to electrify most of its vehicles, which includes numerous SUVs, hatchbacks and sedans. Some of the models will see a discount and some of them will continue with the production. The upcoming 2020 Ford Expedition is one fine example of Ford’s plan for the future. This SUV will most likely arrive with a hybrid drivetrain. The same will happen with the Lincoln Navigator.

The 2020 Expedition will receive some upgrades. The exterior will benefit from the heavy use of aluminum materials and the interior will get significant updates. This SUV acts great on the road, performance is great and its towing ability is quite astonishing. There will be four trim levels, among them a famous King Ranch trim that comes with even stronger performance.
