Ford Expedition Max
The Expedition comes in standard-length and extended-length Expedition Max form. The powertrain lineup centers around the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine, which delivers responsive performance enhanced by twin turbochargers. The standard version produces 400 horsepower, while an available high-output version in Tremor, Stealth Performance, and Platinum Ultimate trims generates 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. All models pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift capability, offered in both rear-wheel and 4-wheel drive configurations.
The Expedition utilizes a military-grade aluminum chassis for enhanced durability in towing and hauling situations. Its independent rear suspension helps provide improved ride quality compared to many truck-based SUVs, while variable-boost power steering enhances maneuverability. Ford's AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control) works in conjunction with standard Trailer Sway Control to detect trailer sway and apply precise braking or reduce engine torque as needed for stable towing.
Depending on trim seating configurations include a 5-seats, an 8-passenger layout with a 40/20/40-split second-row bench, or a 7-passenger arrangement with second-row captain's chairs. The Max variant offers not only additional cargo space but easier third-row access. Both the second and third rows fold flat with power-folding capability, creating a versatile cargo area. The Max rides on a wheelbase that is a foot longer than the standard model, translating to significantly more interior space.
Standard features include a rear spoiler, a power liftgate, heated side mirrors, LED headlights, 18-inch wheels, automatic dual-zone climate control with separate rear controls, satellite radio, a 6-speaker sound system, a 13.2-inch touchscreen, voice activated navigation, 4 12V DC power outlets, mobile hotspot, wireless device connectivity, 4 USB ports, and a 24-inch gauge cluster.
The Tremor trim adds a dual-exhaust, 2 skid plates, a power sunroof, power folding side mirrors, 2 two hooks, LED fog lights, heated and cooled front seats, leather upholstery, driver seat memory, ambient lighting, HD radio, a 10-speaker sound system, wireless device charging, 7 USB ports, 2 120V AC power outlets, and a heated leather steering wheel.
Standard safety equipment includes Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 with features such as 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane-keeping system, blind spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, and pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking. Additional safety technologies include SOS Post-Crash Alert System, individual tire pressure monitoring, and multiple airbags.
