Ford Expedition Tremor: Project Overland Ponders 'What If?'
Ford has created the one-of-a-kind Ford Expedition Tremor: Project Overland—a concept vehicle demonstrating potential future versions of the Expedition under the Tremor name. It is not yet available for order.
The Ford Expedition Tremor: Project Overland was built as a prototype to test the concept of a full-size overlanding SUV. The project was developed by Fox Factory Vehicles and the Ford Motor Company parts division; Ford views it as a testing ground for possible future versions bearing the Tremor name.
The vehicle features Fox shock absorbers and a two-inch increase in ground clearance. It uses wheels from the F-150 Raptor R, paired with BFGoodrich KO2 off-road tires. The standard front bumper was replaced with a modular bumper from the F-150 Tremor, which includes a concealed winch mount from the Raptor and a Warn winch.
For lighting, Rigid lights are installed on the pillars, roof, and sides of the vehicle. The package also includes Tred Pro tracks, which help regain traction when grip is lost. For camping, the vehicle is equipped with a Yakima Skyrise HD rooftop tent, an OverNOut awning, and Ford Liftgate side shades.
Ford links the project to growing interest in off-road models: according to the company, they account for nearly 25% of sales in the U.S. Currently, Project Overland cannot be ordered from a dealer, though most of the components used are sold by their manufacturers. If the project generates sufficient interest, Ford may launch a more serious version of the Expedition into production.
