Ford Expedition

Latest Model

2025 Model Redesign Year
The redesigned Expedition is more refined and features a higher level of technology than its predecessor. Its 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 packs a 400-hp punch and is matched with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic, but the big rig only managed 17 mpg overall in our tests. This mammoth three-row SUV is available in short- or long-wheelbase versions and in seven- or eight-passenger configurations. It's very roomy, and the third row can comfortably fit adults. The ride is steady and controlled, and the cabin is quiet. Handling is lumbering and very clumsy, though typical of the breed.
Cabin fit and finish has been improved, and the split tailgate makes it easy to load cargo. The infotainment system is quite complex, and the unlabeled steering wheel controls are frustrating to use. The BlueCruise hands-free active driving assistance feature, which can reduce stress in stop-and-go highway traffic and execute lane changes, is optional on the majority of trims and comes with a 90-day trial subscription.

2025-Present

2025 Model Redesign Year
The 2025 redesigned Ford Expedition has the same dimensions and overall look as the previous version. Fans will recognize the roomy interior and boxy proportions, but notice slightly smoother exterior styling and more tech features inside. The instrument panel is a 24-inch digital display, which sits between the bottom of the windshield and the top of a large center infotainment screen. A new Tremor trim adds off-road touches such as larger tires, a taller stance, skid plates, and a host of electronic off-roading aids originally introduced on the Ford Bronco. A host of active driver assist features are standard, and Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driving assist feature is optional on the majority of trims.

2018-2024

2018 Model Redesign Year
The redesigned 2018 Expedition full-sized SUV shaves 300 pounds off its predecessor’s weight to bolster efficiency and performance, while piling on new comfort, convenience, and safety features. The updated 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine adds a fuel-saving start/stop system, and it is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Ford claims this will be the most powerful Expedition yet, putting output above 365 hp. The modern cabin provides seating for eight, with Ford claiming that third-row passenger room has improved. Both the second- and third-row seats can be folded flat with a button push. An extended-length model, dubbed MAX, is also available. For 2020, the Expedition comes standard with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, and rear cross traffic warning. The Expedition receives a refresh for 2022 with new styling, Bluecruise driver assist system, upgraded Sync 4 infotainment options, and a new Timberline off-road trim powered by a 440-hp version of Ford's 3.5-liter turbo V6.

2015-2017

2015 Model Redesign Year
Model year 2015 saw the introduction of a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 to replace the 5.4-liter V8 in the previous versions of the Expedition we tested. Even though it has less displacement and two fewer cylinders, the smaller engine makes considerably more torque. This significantly improves the way the Expedition drives. Other changes include mild exterior styling revisions and an updated dashboard, along with the addition of blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. Of all of the variants, this is the one we recommend and particularly the EL version, as its cavernous interior is a standout in the marketplace.

2007-2014

2007 Model Redesign Year
For the 2007 model year, Ford expanded the Expedition lineup with a long wheelbase version called Expedition EL. Offering a spacious third-row seat, reasonably good handling and enough cargo capacity to handle luggage for all nine of its potential occupants, Expedition EL is a credible offering. Towing capacity is impressive as well. However, for both versions of the Expedition, ride quality is stiff, fuel economy is low and the engine sounds somewhat less than refined -- although it makes good power. A rear-view camera is optional and a six-speed transmission replaced the previous five-speed unit.

2003-2006

2003 Model Redesign Year
The 2003 Ford Expedition offers a low floor for easier ingress, egress and cargo loading. The big Ford also has a spacious and comfortable, if somewhat dated looking, interior. Both rows of rear seats are comfortable and spacious for three adults, which is something of a rarity. Ride quality is steady and composed, and the Expedition feels relatively nimble for such a heavy vehicle. However, the Ford's 5,900-pound curb weight results in leisurely acceleration, abysmal fuel economy, and an engine that sounds strained at times. Still though, towing capacity is impressive.

1997-2002

The huge Expedition debuted for 1997, based on the F-150 pickup truck. We tested the Expedition with the standard 4.6-liter V8, which performed well enough but slurped fuel. Also available is a more powerful 5.4-liter V8. This full-sized, seven-passenger SUV rides fairly well and corners capably for its heft. Parking this behemoth and maneuvering it around town can be trying. The Expedition's seating was roomy and quite comfortable, except for the optional third-row bench.
Climbing in and out takes athletic ability. For 1999, full-time 4WD became available.
