They took an F250 and enclosed it the same way they took an F150, enclosed the bed, threw some leather at it and called it an Expedition. Can you imagine that something the size & weight of an Expedition, wearing 265/70R17 balloons called for factory tire pressure specs of 29 psi ?!?! Why ? Because when your wife drives it and it bounces all over the road, she's gonna say: Honey, it rides like a truck !! At 29psi and 10 inches of sidewall, it's gonna "float". See Honey ? It's not that bad !!
