Meet the Ranch Wagon. A 2003
Ford Expedition designed with the nostalgic lure of the '60s Ford station
wagons and the flair of the new century's boundless energy. But make no
mistake, the Ranch Wagon is significantly more than a retro comfort trip
back to Mayberry. Created by the award winning design team at Performance
West Group, The Expedition Ranch Wagon is a wolf in distinctly haute couture
clothing, geared up to fly on past Mayberry and discover America.
Throughout the 20th century, Ford was known as the Wagon Master of the
auto industry, and manufactured the hottest selling station wagons on
the market in an era when that vehicle was the Sport Utility Vehicle and
Minivan rolled into one solid, high-powered, must-have vehicle. The Expedition
Ranch Wagon combines the best of Ford heritage with the most innovative,
luxurious and powerful aftermarket products of the 21st century. As comforting
as a cruise down Main Street USA and as riveting as the drive to the top
of Pikes Peak, the Ranch Wagon is fully equipped for a coast to coast
road trip, punctuated by stops for exploration.
Classically inspired trim by 3M is only the beginning of the exterior
highlights the Ranch Wagon, because this Woody crouches low to the ground,
ready to pounce with Intrax custom springs, 24-inch Oasis "Ludacris"
Alloy Wheels and BFGoodrich ultra high performance tires. The interior
wraps you in soft, supple TriTone leather from Katzkin, and challenges
your senses with a megawatt audio sound system. And unlike those romantic
days of yore, on this road trip, passengers in the Ranch Wagon don't have
to count cows; they can indulge in latest movies and computer games, complements
of a Clarion high-definition DVD video entertainment center.
But wait, there's more! The Expedition Ranch Wagon not only has the awe-inspiring
look of a classic woody on steroids, it backs up the image with unbridled
supercharged power. Featuring a massive 2.2 liter Kenne Bell Blowzilla
Supercharger, the Triton 5.4 liter V8 in the Ranch Wagon produces an amazing
386 horsepower, with over 410 lbs. ft. of torque, and is ready, willing
and able to devour the highways and byways of the United States without
even working up a sweat.
The Ranch Wagon is ready to take you on the long and winding road of life
with the sense of safety and comfort that Ford station wagons once evoked;
but it takes you there faster, sharper and sleeker than they ever imagined
in the '60s.
