just saw the ad in today's PDI. is this really all new? parang kamukha nung dati?

if it's the "rare as faithful men" ad, it's not new. the next exped is gonna be all-independent na rin, so it's a true soft-roader now.

I havent seen the local ad but i think the All new Exped has been out since last year pa in the states diba?

It's all new and no longer based on the F150 chassis. Independent rear suspension siya and three-forward facing rows ang seating arrangement. It's also more square in line with Ford's new design philosophy.

Buti na lang naka-habol pa kami sa last of the GEN I Expeditions para solid axle pa rin sa likod.

Well, good for you Hero!

Compared to the current Gen, I like the new Expedition's rear flat floor. It seems every rear seat folds flat into the floor, unlike the current Gen's which requires the 3rd row to be removed.

From what i've seen in the pics, though, it seems the new Exped looks very much like the Explorer/Sport Trac, just a bigger version though. Wish it didn't too much, para d mapagkamalan Explorer/Sport Trac. Perhaps seeing it in the flesh may change my initial perception.
