The new Expedition King Ranch sports includes power-deployable running boards, rear bumper skid plate, trailer hitch cover, roof-rack side rails, and side mirror caps. Other exterior highlights include body color-painted upper bumpers, Stone Gray-painted lower bumpers, and other aesthetic flourishes that emphasize the trim.
