Still, Ford has gone ahead and given the 2018 version of the big hippo an FX4 off road package. 

Said to make the 2018 Ford Expedition “more capable on trails and unpaved surfaces,” the off road package is, on paper, a good one with all the necessary bits and bobs such a off-road-tuned shocks, all-new electronic limited-slip rear differential, skid plates, side steps, and a new Terrain Management System. Visually, too, the FX4 is ready for action what with 18-inch Magnetic Metallic-painted cast-aluminum wheels, chrome running boards, rubber floor liners and new badging.
