2018 Ford Expedition SUV Model Review, Specs, Pricing & Specs

"Sharing virtually nothing with its predecessor, the new Expedition advances the state of the art in full-size SUVs in the same way its cousin, the Ford F-150, did for pickup trucks: extensive use of aluminum. The benefits are tangible. The new Expedition offers excellent towing and hauling capabilities with its 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 engine, yet manages to return fuel economy more commonly associated with smaller, car-based midsize SUVs." -- Kelley Blue Book

"The Expedition's cabin is classy and roomy, and especially well-trimmed and attractive at the Limited and Platinum levels. New updates (dials, switches, vents) focus its modern feel. Ambient lighting, leather surfaces and seating, and a sharp tech interface give it an edge over its rivals." -- Edmunds

Powerful Performance

One of the most critical areas of the all-new Expedition that Ford engineers worked tirelessly to perfect is performance. Especially important in a full-size SUV, the Expedition has all of the capability to conquer even the largest obstacles thanks to a standard 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 with Auto Start-Stop Technology. Offering up to 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, the Expedition offers a best-in-class** towing capacity of 9,300 lbs. Searching for maximum off-road performance? The available FX4 Off-Road Package includes an easy-to-use 4WD with TerrainManagement System with 7 drive modes, protective underbody skid plates, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, along with off-road-tuned front and rear shocks. By selectively applying individual brakes and modifying engine power, AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™) enhances vehicle stability.

Spacious Interior

Across all three rows of the Ford Expedition you'll find an array of comfort and technology features to improve every drive. With more hip room in the first and second rows than the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon, the Expedition also shines for its best-in-class** second and third-row legroom. An advanced Cargo Management System provides numerous solutions for storing your cargo securely and easily. For unparalleled luxury, the Expedition Platinum delivers heated and ventilated multicontour front seats with Active Motion®, real wood accents, and power-deployable running boards with polished stainless accents. Four 12V powerpoints, 6 USB ports, and one 110V outlet give the whole crew several options for keeping their devices charged-up.

Advanced Technology

With a simple touch of the door handle, the available Intelligent Access key fob lets you unlock or lock the Ford Expedition without the need to fumble around in your pocket or purse for a key. Specifically engineered 12-speaker placement, tuning, and calibration gives the optional B&O PLAY™ Premium Audio System by HARMAN exceptional clarity for an unrivaled listening experience. Thanks to an available Dual-Headrest Rear Seat Entertainment System, rear passengers can view content from their compatible Apple® or Android™ devices on the screen mounted securely to the back of each front seat. SYNC® 3 lets you control calls, music, and more with just a touch and your voice -- all without taking your hands off the wheel. An available Wi-Fi hotspot connects up to 10 devices at a range of up to 50 feet.

Driver-Assistive Safety Features

Committed to protecting drivers, Ford has engineered the Expedition with a suite of 6 standard airbags including the patented Safety Canopy® System with rollover sensor. Giving you confidence in tight spaces, an available 360-degree camera with Split-View Display lets you see all sides of the vehicle for effortless maneuverability. Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ makes backing up your trailer as easy as turning a knob, automatically steering the Expedition to turn the trailer the desired amount. Additional available driver-assistive technologies offered on the Expedition include BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with trailer coverage, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, Lane-Keeping System, and Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection.

Ford Expedition MAX

Ford Expedition MAX conveys the best of what a full-size SUV can offer thanks to an additional 16.9 cubic feet of cargo capacity and almost a foot of additional exterior length than the standard Expedition models. Even if you find yourself in a situation where the whole team needs a ride to practice, Expedition MAX delivers expanded third row headroom and legroom to help keep all passengers comfortable. As a testament to the outstanding capability of the Expedition MAX, this impressive SUV can even carry 4' x 8' sheets of plywood with the liftgate closed. Expedition MAX is available in XLT, Limited, and Platinum Trims.
