Ford Unveils Ford Expedition Timberline Concept

Ford will be revealing the Ford Expedition Timberline Off-Grid concept vehicle at the Overland Expo East in Arrington, Virginia. The full-sized SUV will be an updated version of the Expedition Timberline that enhances off-road capabilities. Ford wanted to create a vehicle specific to the popular pastime of Overlanding. Overlanding combines off-roading and camping. With the new Ford Expedition Timberline, those looking to partake in Overlanding will have everything they need within arm’s length. Ford recently refreshed the Expedition model with sharper styling and an off-road Timberline trim. The new Off-Grid concept SUV takes the Expedition even further.
