A family inside the 2023 Ford Expedition.

The Ford Expedition is a stylish and adventurous SUV with seating for eight. There are many trims and packages you can choose from to suit your needs. A wide range of features make the Expedition a popular SUV for adventurers and everyday drivers alike, so let’s look a little closer.

1. The Incredible Power

The 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine provides a lot of power for this SUV. It has an output of up to 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. The aerodynamic design of the vehicle makes the engine feel even more powerful and responsive. There are two other engine options available, including a 3.5-liter engine with 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque.

The EcoBoost engine on a two-wheel drive Expedition is best for drivers who want to save the most money at the gas pump, as you can expect to get 23 miles per gallon on the highway and 17 miles per gallon in the city. That gives the engine a combined fuel efficiency rating of 19 miles per gallon. Fuel efficiency varies a little depending on your engine choice and trim, but the numbers don’t deviate much from those we’ve provided here.

A red 2023 Ford Ranger.

For a mid-size pickup with some serious grunt, the 2023 Ford Ranger is an unbeatable option. It’s a powerful little number that boasts plenty of muscle and off-roading abilities, plus it gives drivers the freedom to customize through bed lengths and cab sizes. This year, Ford has made available three trim levels of the Ranger. Want to figure out which one is right for you and your lifestyle? Read on.

2023 Ford Ranger

There are three trims available with the Ranger: the XL, the XLT, and the Lariat. Within these trims, you can configure the vehicle with two box lengths, different cab setups, and an optional four-wheel drive. The XL offers eight exterior colors to choose from, while the XLT and Lariat offer nine. Every trim comes with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that manages 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This pairs with a smooth ten-speed automatic transmission.

Which trim is right for you depends on what you’re hoping to get from your pickup. The base-level XL, when paired with the extended cab, makes for the lightest drive in the lineup while still mustering outstanding performance. The XTL is an excellent option for those who want plenty of tech and driver assistance without the full gambit of features. The Lariat affords the driver a cabin full of comforts as well as access to more work and performance packages.

Planning a fun day out with the family? At Coughlin Ford Heath, we’re lucky to have some fantastic local attractions just a short drive away. Here are a few of our favorite places to go that are near Heath, OH – we hope that you enjoy them as much as we do.

Newark Earthworks

The Newark Earthworks are ancient earthern enclosures, built by the Hopewell Native Americans between 0AD and 400AD. They are the largest enclosures of their kind in the world and have National Historic Landmark status. The surviving sections of the Newark Earthworks consist of three parts – the Great Circle Earthworks, the Wright Earthworks, and the Octagon Earthworks.

The Earthworks are set amongst some beautiful scenery and are an excellent place to take a walk, although you should take care to avoid walking on the earthworks themselves. We would particularly recommend taking the guided tour if you get the chance, and the museum is also worth a visit, although the opening hours are seasonal. The Great Circle Museum can be found at 455 Hebron Road.
