PRIORITIES
Family first: It’s your motto, and with the latest model year of the Expedition, it’s Ford’s, too. With this large-and-in-charge people mover, you and your crew can plan family adventures with abandon. Memories are yours for the making with the Ford Expedition.
Sized for Family Fun
When you drive a full-size SUV, you expect it to have enough room to accommodate everyone and everything they bring. Fitting it all is one thing; fitting it all comfortably is the Ford Expedition. Whether you choose the standard wheelbase or the Expedition MAX (extended-length wheelbase), everyone on board will enjoy high levels of comfort, no matter where they’re seated.
Among its standard amenities are:
- 10-way power driver’s seat with memory
- 8-way power passenger seats
- Tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control
With the available class-exclusive 40/20/40 folding third-row bench seat, you can fold the middle section independently, creating a long center aisle. It’s the perfect space to stow recreational equipment for your weekend getaway or extended road trip. The Ford Expedition puts the fun in functionality!
Digital Family Hub
Technology is more than a nicety for today’s drivers—it’s a necessity. That’s even more true when you have your family in tow. Keeping your riders entertained ensures more smiles for miles. It all starts with the standard Ford Digital Experience, positioned to maintain visibility of the road ahead while keeping you and your family connected, informed, and completely engaged:
- Largest-in-class 24-inch panoramic display
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™?
- Google Assistant/Alexa Built-in
- Driver profiles
The available Ford Connectivity Package (one year is included) adds 5G Wi-Fi® hotspot, Google Play apps, Google Maps, and more. The hotspot powers up to 10 devices and extends up to 50 feet outside the Expedition, perfect for camping or tailgating. Rather than “Are we there yet?” you may hear a chorus of, “Aww, we’re there already?”
CAPABILITY
You rely on your SUV to take you and yours whenever and wherever you want. The Expedition’s highly capable powertrain is ready to take on any challenge you and your fellow adventurers have in mind. Clearly, the Ford Expedition comes prepared to make the journey as exciting as the destination.
Power Ranger
Two variations of the Expedition’s 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine generate horsepower (HP) ranging from 400 to 440 HP. Each one is paired with a 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission.
| Expedition Trim(s) | Standard Engine | Horsepower | Torque | | :-------------------------------- | :-------------------------- | :--------- | :-------- | | Active, King Ranch, Platinum | 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 | 400 HP | 480 lb-ft | | Tremor (available for Platinum) | High Output 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 | 440 HP | 510 lb-ft |
Of course, it’s not simply the amount of power but what you can do with it. When properly equipped, the Expedition can tow up to 9,600 pounds! So, go ahead: Take to the trails with some mountain bikes, hit the water with your fishing boat or a couple of kayaks or paddle boards, or hitch up a travel trailer and head to that remote campsite for some family bonding time.
For the latest model year, the first-ever Ford Expedition Tremor expands your family’s adventure opportunities, taking them off the beaten path farther than ever before. This rough-and-ready trim is fully equipped for your most rugged escapades:
- Intelligent 4-wheel drive
- 33-inch all-terrain tires
- Best-in-class ground clearance of 10.6 inches
- Front skid plate and underbody shields
- Electronic locking rear-differential
Plus, its Terrain Management System™ and trail control system include Rock Crawl Mode, Trail Turn Assist, and Trail 1-Pedal, ensuring there’s almost nothing you’ll encounter that you can’t get past—or over.
Look, Ma, No Hands
With the latest model year, the Ford Expedition makes BlueCruise hands-free highway driving available on 97% of controlled-access highways in North America. It not only provides an even-keeled ride, but it also offers these features:
- Lane Change Assist – Switch lanes when the path is clear with a tap of the turn signal.
- In-Lane Repositioning – Automatically shifts to increase distance from other vehicles in neighboring lanes.
As the family chauffeur, you can utilize BlueCruise to ease some pressure when running here, there, and everywhere.
VERSATILITY
With people comes stuff—a lot of it. Sure, the Expedition is capable of transporting it all. It really excels and surpasses other full-size SUVs in its class with everything else it brings to the table—and, with one of its innovative features, that includes the table!
Flex Your Ford Muscle
Due to its versatility, the Ford Expedition could very easily be called the “Flexpedition.” Its available Flex Powered Console slides back almost eight inches with the press of a button, making it easy to load up longer items like fishing rods or a tent and access the first two rows.
This latest model year of the Expedition is also the only SUV in its class to offer cargo management similar to a pickup truck. Its new standard Ford Split Gate with available seatback can support up to 500 pounds. When hiking, camping, or tailgating, you can use the rear area as a serving table or stadium seating. Talk about flexibility!
Party on From Dusk to Dawn
You’ve enjoyed a full day of family fun, and the sun is beginning to fade. While drivers of other family SUVs might consider it time to head home, you can extend the festivities into the evening with the Ford Expedition.
Its available 360-Degree Zone Lighting illuminates four areas around the vehicle, easily controlled with the infotainment system. Pitch a tent, light a fire, roast some marshmallows, tell stories, and sing songs. . . After all, the night is young, and there are s’more memories to be made.
