Built for more extreme adventures, Ford debuted the Expedition Timberline Off-Grid Concept vehicle in conjunction with the Overland Expo East in Arrington, Virginia.

The one-off model is based on the new 2022 Ford Expedition Timberline series, the most off-road-capable Expedition ever.

The Expedition Timberline Off-Grid Concept is uplifted with proven names in off-road hardware and off-road accessories to help boost adventurers confidence as they trek to hard-to reach mountains, trails, and lakes.

“The Expedition Timberline Off-Grid concept provides a futuristic view of how family adventurers can potentially get even more out of an Expedition Timberline, including the absolute best mobile basecamp,” said Robert Varto, program manager of the concept.
