2024 Ford Expedition: Built for Big Families & Big Plans

January 24th, 2025 by

The 2024 Ford Expedition is a full-size SUV built for families, adventurers, and anyone needing serious space, power, and all-around capability. With room for up to eight people, the ability to tow up to 9,300 pounds, and a powerful twin-turbocharged V6 engine, it’s ready to handle your road trips, daily errands, or heavy hauling needs. 

 

Engine and Performance

The 2024 Ford Expedition is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine, available in three performance levels:

  • XL and XLT trims: 380 horsepower, 470 lb-ft of torque.
  • Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum trims: 400 horsepower, 480 lb-ft of torque.
  • Timberline and Limited with Stealth Performance Package: 440 horsepower, 510 lb-ft of torque.

All engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with four-wheel drive optional.

 

Ride and Handling

The 2024 Ford Expedition rides smoothly and handles well for its size. The independent rear suspension absorbs bumps easily, making long drives comfortable. But keep in mind, it’s a big SUV, so handling feels more like a truck, especially on tight turns.

The Timberline adds off-road capability with higher ground clearance and underbody protection. The Stealth Performance Package on the Limited trim delivers sharper handling with a sportier suspension. Steering is light enough to make city driving manageable, and optional 360-degree cameras take the stress out of parking. 

 

Towing and Payload 

You can trust the Ford Expedition to do serious heavy lifting. It has a towing capacity of up to 9,300 pounds when equipped with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package. Even the standard setup can tow up to 6,000 pounds, putting it well above many competitors. Its maximum payload capacity reaches 1,758 pounds. 

Compared to the Chevrolet Tahoe, which tops out at 8,400 pounds of towing, and the Toyota Sequoia, which maxes out at 9,000 pounds, the Expedition holds a clear edge. If you need serious towing capability without stepping into a pickup truck, the Expedition gives you confidence. 

 

Fuel Economy

For a full-size SUV, the 2024 Expedition delivers competitive ratings. Rear-wheel-drive models achieve 17 mpg city / 23 mpg highway, while four-wheel-drive models are rated at 16 mpg city / 22 mpg highway.

Compared to its rivals, the Expedition does better than the Chevrolet Tahoe’s 5.3-liter V8, which gets 15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway with four-wheel drive. It also beats the Toyota Sequoia’s hybrid, which claims 21 mpg on the highway but doesn’t live up to the hype in real-world city driving, as real-world testings reveal. 

 

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo 

The interior of the 2024 Ford Expedition feels roomy and comfortable. No matter where you sit, there’s plenty of space to stretch out, even in the third row. The seats are supportive, with higher trims adding plush leather and features like heating, ventilation, and even massage options. 

It’s designed for long drives and big families, with wide, cushy seating and thoughtful touches like a flat-folding third row and captain’s chairs in the second row. The cabin is quiet too, making it a great space to relax, whether you’re commuting or on a road trip.

Cargo space is solid—9.3 cubic feet behind the third row is perfect for groceries or a couple of suitcases. Fold the third row down, and you’ve got 63.6 cubic feet for bigger items. If you need more space, just drop both rows, and you’ll have a massive 104.6 cubic feet. The Expedition Max takes it even further with 121.5 cubic feet.

 

Infotainment & Tech Features

The 2024 Expedition comes standard with a 12.0-inch touchscreen running Ford’s Sync 4 software with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. USB-A and USB-C ports in the front and second row are available, and a Wi-Fi hotspot is available with a subscription.

Upgrades include a larger 15.5-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, built-in navigation, and a rear-seat entertainment system. The Bang & Olufsen 22-speaker audio system is available for premium sound.

 

Safety Rating and Driver-Assist Features

The 2024 Ford Expedition has not yet been rated by the NHTSA or IIHS. However, the 2023 model earned a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA. Safety features standard to all trims include: 

  • Forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking
  • Lane-keeping assist and lane-departure warning
  • Rearview camera with parking sensors
  • Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert

BlueCruise hands-free driving, adaptive cruise control, 360-degree camera system, Pro Trailer backup assist, and evasive steering are available with higher trims or packages.
