Ford Expedition
This colossus of the road may seem anachronistic in an era where political correctness dictates what kind of vehicle we should drive, but it fully satisfies the people who purchase it. In general, they are either contractors or families wanting to travel in comfort, while towing a 8,750-pound (3,969 kg) trailer. Its 300 horsepower 5.4-litre V8 engine delivers 365 lbs-ft of torque. Of course, fuel-consumption is directly proportional to the vehicle’s weight, 2,792 kg (6,155 pounds).
