Spotted with an F-150 nose, the next-generation ’18 Ford Expedition is expected to use much of the aluminum-intensive structure that debuted on Ford's full-size truck for 2015. It will allow the full-size SUV to do battle with GM's line of SUVs and meet more stringent fuel-economy standards and compete with a host of modern technologies introduced on Ford's volume truck.

It's widely expected the Expedition will take on the look of the F-150, largely a refinement on the outgoing model, and keep the same rough external and internal dimensions. The independent rear suspension will continue to give Ford's fullsize SUV an edge over Chevy and GMC rivals.

Inside, the Expedition should also look like its family, incorporating the latest technology features and Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment. Self-parking assists and advanced safety tech should also be part of the package—likely an important piece for the Lincoln Navigator sibling.

The 3.5L Ecoboost V6 from the current facelifted Expedition, introduced for 2015, should probably continue in the ’18 model. However, other Ecoboost options, such as the 2.7, could also be offered.

Expect the ’18 Expedition, along with the redesigned Navigator, to show up in 2017.

Designer and engineer Bran Ferren will reveal his new off-road exploration RV the “KiraVan” inside the SEMA Show SCORE Baja 1000 Experience.

On Tuesday, November 3 at 10:00 a.m., legendary designer and engineer Bran Ferren, co-founder of renowned tech firm Applied Minds, will reveal to the world his new off-road exploration RV the “KiraVan” inside the SEMA Show SCORE Baja 1000 Experience at the Las Vegas Convention Center Silver Lot (in front of the South Hall).

Ferren’s latest project is a vehicle that can safely and comfortably transport his young daughter to any part of the world the family wishes to explore. From the arctic to the desert, this outrageous off-road vehicle is at the forefront of technology, equipped to protect and serve all of its passengers at an unsurpassed level. Tour the evolution of this expedition RV from conception to fruition, exploring its unparalleled features and meeting the masterminds behind the machine—from the scientists to the electricians, engineers and fabricators. This all-terrain vehicle is designed to survive the harshest conditions—extreme heat, extreme cold, from the rainforest to the desert, in flood or drought. It can travel 2,000 miles without resupply and has a tethered drone for a bird’s-eye view of what lies ahead.  

In an emergency, KiraVan is equipped with its own “lifeboat”—a one-of-a-kind diesel motorcycle. There are Kevlar tires, more than a dozen interlocking communication systems and a cockpit designed by Story Musgrave, who performed the first shuttle spacewalk on Challenger’s first flight. With millions of dollars and countless hours invested, the KiraVan, upon its completion, will almost certainly be the most extreme, expensive recreational vehicle on the planet! Attendees of the 2015 SEMA Show will be the first people anywhere to see this machine—with TV cameras rolling!

The special episode of EXTREME RVs—“Top Secret Techno Monster”—will premiere the weekend following the SEMA Show, Sunday, November 8, at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on the Travel Channel.

Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. is expecting to host large crowds once again when they display at the 2015 SEMA Show, November 3–6 in Las Vegas. The company brands three distinct areas within the Show—a large booth inside the South Hall, a display directly outside the South Hall and the Toyo Tires Treadpass, which serves as a walkway between the South and Central Halls. Together they feature more than 30 cars and trucks, including several making their world debut. These vehicles demonstrate the broad range of products and sizes offered by Toyo Tires. Featured lines include Open Country for light trucks, SUVs and outdoor adventure vehicles; Proxes for the performance-minded; and the new Celsius variable-conditions tire.

Outdoor Display (Exhibit #62122)

Attendees from last year will remember the monumental tower and screens in front of South Hall that played Recoil 2 with heart-pounding sound and action. This year, visitors will have the chance to experience a sneak peek of Recoil 3 through virtual reality. Featuring Team Toyo’s BJ Baldwin and his Monster Energy/Toyo Tires trophy truck, the film will take fans to an all-new place with an all-new adventure allowing them to experience it like never before.

An action-packed, SEMA-exclusive version of the traditional variety will also be playing for all to see. The full-length version will be released in mid-November on the Toyo Tires YouTube channel.

Inside the South Hall (Booth #40039)

Inside the South Hall, visitors can walk through the Toyo Tires booth featuring popular products and three never-before-seen cars.

Limited-Edition Misha Designs Ferrari 458 Italia Wide Body

Aftermarket tuner, Misha Designs, will debut a Ferrari 458 Italia enhanced with their Limited-Edition body kit. The design takes the car to another level, including a three-inch wider track at the rear, thanks to aggressively flared arches. Its large rear wing is inspired by the LaFerrari FXX K. It also represents the world debut of Savini’s “Forged Step Lip” concave wheel technology. Filling the wide fenders is a set of Toyo Proxes 4 Plus all-season UHP tires in a 245/35R20 front and 295/30R20 rear size.

Wald Rolls Royce Wraith Black Bison Edition

Wald International, a renowned tuner from Japan, is holding yet another world debut at the Toyo Tires display. This time it is their Wald Rolls Royce Wraith Black Bison Edition. Elegance combines with muscularity using Wald’s newly designed front bumper, side skirts, rear lip, trunk wing and sport exhaust. A lowering module provides the correct stance, while the Rolls is equipped with 22x9.0 front and 22x10.5 rear B11C alloy wheels. Toyo Proxes STII tires fill the fenders with a 265/35R22 size up front, and 285/35R22 in the rear.

Bulletproof Automotive BMW Z4 GT Continuum

Bulletproof Automotive is debuting its 15th Anniversary world project—the Z4 GT Continuum. Reflecting the company’s “The Real JDM” tuning philosophy, this radically modified BMW is inspired by the open cockpit cars found in the era of vintage motorsport. The end result is a German vehicle, tuned in a Japanese aesthetic, with a past-meets-future design blend. Tires for this race-inspired car are Toyo Proxes R888 DOT competition tires in a 285/35ZR20 front and 315/30ZR20 rear size.

On Wednesday, visitors will also have the chance to meet Courtney Hansen, well-known automotive personality and host of “PowerNation TV.” She will sign autographs for fans between 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

Toyo Tires Treadpass

Making their way from the rear of the South Hall to the Central Hall, Show attendees walk through Toyo Tires Treadpass, an outdoor automotive playground that has become a landmark at the SEMA Show. With nearly 30 specialty cars and trucks, the Treadpass pays homage to the creativity found in the design and construction of top SEMA Show vehicles. The space is also known for its Recharge Lounge—a place where visitors can rest their knees and charge electronic devices. Among the vehicles and displays is nearly the entire lineup of Toyo products, including commercial tires. The following is a small sample of vehicles planned for the Toyo Tires Treadpass:

Dan Henderson’s ’73 International Scout

UFC Light Heavyweight Dan Henderson owns this one-off urban assault vehicle based on a ’73 International Scout. Besides its tough looks with a custom paint scheme, special bucket seats, a custom roll cage and wide fenders, the Scout rolls on 40x15.50R20 Toyo Open Country M/T tires for maximum traction.

Project FFR Cobra Jet Challenge

The 2015 SEMA Show marks the debut of Project FFR Cobra Jet Challenge, based on a Factory Five MK IV Challenge car with a street completion package. This lightweight race-inspired car is propelled by a 625+ hp Coyote engine and is held to the ground with a massive front spoiler, and equally massive rear wing. Mounted on CCW C18 Hybrid Series wheels are Toyo® Proxes R888 DOT competition tires, size 275/35ZR18 in the front and 315/30ZR18 in the rear. Constructed in a home garage by Mark Gearhart, the build series has been featured on StangTV.com.

’74 Datsun Sunny Ute

Japanese nostalgia collides with modern-day performance with the ’74 Datsun Sunny Ute owned and built by Dominic Le. Its wild appearance is attributed to the melding of a custom dry carbon-fiber Hakosuka (Nissan Skyline) conversion front end by 09 racing japan. Custom rear flares and a carbon-fiber truck bed floor also help define its unique appearance. Power comes from an S15 turbocharged S14 SR20DET engine with several performance enhancements, while a NISMO 3.9 limited-slip differential tries to make sense of the burst of power. Just a few of the interior enhancements include a custom Hakosuka dash and center console and vintage Autolook racing seats. VOLK Racing TE37V 15X9-in. front and 15X10-in. rear wheels are wrapped with Toyo Proxes R888 tires in a 195/50R15 front and 205/50ZR15 rear combination.

47 Legacy Power Wagon

Legacy Classic Trucks of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, has developed a global reputation for its modernization of the venerable Dodge Power Wagon, which originally began production in 1945. This ’47 Power Wagon features Legacy’s trademark craftsmanship. It has been converted into a four-door, long-bed truck with air conditioning, a luxurious interior and massive amounts of torque, which runs through Dynatrac axles. Toyo Open Country M/T tires in size 40X13.50R17LT provide the comfort, durability and traction for this massive truck.
