Will the 2024 Ford Expedition be redesigned?
Not this year! The new Expedition has a few new features, however, including a new Wild Green exterior paint option. If your Expedition is an all-wheel-drive XLT, Limited, King Ranch, or Platinum model with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow package, it now comes standard with front tow hooks. You’ll also find new USB-C ports in the second row. And the trail subscription of Ford’s Connected Navigation services now lasts one year.
How comfortable is the 2024 Ford Expedition?
This three-row Expedition is a family favorite, thanks to its spacious, cushy seating, smooth ride, and incredible list of available features. Your model can transport either seven or eight passengers, depending on whether you stick with the standard second-row bench seat or switch to optional second-row captain’s chairs.
Since there are six Expedition trim models (the base XL, mid-level XLT, off-road-friendly Timberline, upscale Limited, Western-themed King Ranch, and luxurious Platinum) from which to choose, you can balance how much you want to spend with the features you wish to enjoy.
The entry-level Expedition XL is big on comfort, with standard features that include dual-zone automatic climate control, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and spacious seating for five passengers. Move up to the XLT for eight-passenger seating, plus tri-zone automatic climate control and a power-folding third-row seat. The rugged Timberline model adds to the aforementioned features with a power-adjustable front passenger seat and driver’s seat memory settings.
From the Limited up, you’ll enjoy a luxurious cabin, with leather seating, heated and cooled front seats, and heated second-row seats. In addition to its exclusive Western-themed styling, the King Ranch features Del Rio leather upholstery, a 22-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, and power-deployable running boards. The top-of-the-line Platinum is even more handsomely equipped, with upgraded leather, wood and leather cabin trim, and Active Motion massaging front seats. The Platinum is also the only Expedition to come standard with the hands-free driving system, BlueCruise.
Is there an extra-long 2024 Ford Expedition?
Yes! Not only is there an extended-length Expedition, but Ford recently expanded the lineup so that you can choose from a wider range of trim models. The extended-length Expedition, known as the MAX, is now available as four trim models: XLT MAX, Limited MAX, King Ranch MAX, and Platinum MAX.
Whereas the standard Expedition is 210 inches in length, Expedition MAX models are 221 inches long. However, both models offer an identical amount of passenger space. The main benefit of a MAX model is in the cargo hold, where you’ll find 34.3 cubic feet for your stuff (compared to 19.3 cubic feet in regular models)!
How much horsepower does the 2024 Ford Expedition generate?
There are three versions of the Expedition’s turbocharged V6 engine available, the strongest of which generates 440 horsepower! If you’re looking for this kind of performance, you’ll find it in the Expedition Timberline, the trim model that’s specially equipped for off-road performance. If you’re interested in a little adventure, you’ll be pleased to learn that the Timberline also includes all-terrain tires, an off-road-tuned suspension, an electronic limited-slip differential, and low-range gearing (with available four-wheel drive).
You’ll find the next most powerful Expedition engine, which makes 400 horsepower, in the Platinum trim model. All other Expedition trim models feature the standard, 375-horsepower version of this turbocharged V6! Although some are more powerful than others, every version of this SUV delivers a strong, sure performance.
