How does the 2015 Ford Expedition EL 4×4 perform at the 60-0 mph brake test empty and loaded? Weight matters in all aspects of vehicle dynamics: acceleration, handling and stopping. The long wheelbase Expedition EL is not a light weight. It is related to the F-150 frame and chassis, but it does not use an all aluminum body construction. It’s a large SUV with ample room for eight adults. The base curb weight of this truck is 6,100 lbs.
You can watch how it did with the 0-60 mph acceleration empty and loaded.
Now, how does it stop? The big Expedition stopped from 60 mph in 136.94 feet with only the driver. Two people in the cabin pushed the stopping distance to 140.80 feet. And four people increased the stopping distance to 147.42 feet. Each stopping run was performed in the same direction and with around 2 to 3 minutes between each run to allow the brakes to cool slightly.
