2023 Ford Expedition

This full-size SUV certainly delivers the passenger space you crave. But it’s also big on luxury, with a wealth of features available. And the Expedition is a powerhouse, with a strong V6 powertrain and massive towing capabilities. You’ll also appreciate its tech lineup, which includes everything from life-saving safety aids to smartphone-savvy infotainment gear.

When you’re shopping for a full-size SUV that’s as comfy as it is powerful, you really can’t go wrong with the Expedition. Properly equipped, this Ford’s towing capabilities are near the top of its class, with a maximum rating of 9,300 pounds! That’s equivalent to quite a big boat or camper.

Every Expedition comes with the same muscular powertrain:

• Turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine
• 10-speed automatic transmission
• Rear-wheel drive
• Optional four-wheel drive

However, engine output varies according to trim level. The XL, XLT, Limited, and King Ranch make 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. The top-of-the-line Platinum delivers even more power, with 400 hp and 480 lb-ft. When you choose the off-road-friendly Timberline (or add the Stealth Performance Package), your Expedition delivers 440 hp and 510 lb-ft.

Very much so! Ford’s full-size SUV was meant to transport lots of people in complete style. With seating for up to eight passengers, the Expedition is nicely suited to big families and friend groups. With second-row captain’s chairs, seating capacity drops to seven. There’s also a five-passenger version of the Expedition, the base XL model, which expands the cargo hold from 20.9 cubic feet to 63.6 cubes.

Besides space, the Expedition also makes a point of providing all of the latest features. The standard lineup is very impressive, with dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and foglights. The standard infotainment system will please even the pickiest tech enthusiasts, thanks to its big, 12-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The standard lineup even helps keep you safe, with blind-spot monitoring, forward collision migration, and a lane keeping system.

Moving up the six trim levels (XL, XLT, Timberline, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum) will only make your drive all the more luxurious. Features on offer include leather-trimmed seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.
