The all-new 2025 Ford Expedition is here, promising a blend of modern technology, off-road capability, and family-friendly features that elevate the full-size SUV experience. With seating for up to eight, the fifth-generation Expedition offers significant improvements in design, versatility, and performance, all tailored to meet the needs of today’s active families. Here’s a closer look at what makes the new Expedition stand out.
Exterior Styling –
The 2025 Ford Expedition sports a more refined and bold exterior design. While maintaining its signature rugged appearance, the new Expedition features updated lines and details that give it a modern edge. Ford has also introduced the Expedition TREMOR® model, designed specifically for off-road adventures. With its 33-inch all-terrain tires, underbody shielding, and class-leading ground clearance, the TREMOR stands out as the most capable Expedition for those who enjoy venturing off the beaten path.
One of the key exterior innovations is the all-new Ford Split Gate. This unique liftgate combines the functionality of a traditional SUV liftgate with the practicality of a truck tailgate. The top three-quarters of the gate operates like a regular SUV liftgate, while the bottom quarter folds down like a truck bed, providing a versatile platform that can hold up to 500 pounds—perfect for tailgating or camping.
Interior Styling and Comfort –
Step inside, and the Expedition’s cabin is designed to keep all passengers comfortable and entertained, no matter where they’re seated. A standout feature is the new 24-inch panoramic digital display, which serves as a control hub for the vehicle. It replaces the traditional gauge cluster and sits just above the steering wheel for better driver visibility. This large screen is part of Ford’s new Digital Experience, allowing users to stay connected to their favorite apps and services while on the move.
The interior also boasts flexible seating options, including an available 40/20/40 third-row bench seat that can fold to create a long aisle for transporting larger items like skis or fishing rods without compromising seating for six passengers. The sliding Flex Powered Console offers easy storage access for both front and second-row occupants, making sure everyone can reach their devices, snacks, or drinks with ease.
For families who need ample cargo space, the Expedition MAX variant offers even more room, perfect for long trips or hauling larger gear. Available lighting zones around the vehicle provide convenient illumination when the sun goes down, whether you’re camping or at a tailgate.
Powertrain and Performance –
Under the hood, the 2025 Expedition offers power and efficiency, thanks to its 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine. In standard models like the Active, King Ranch®, and Platinum trims, the engine produces 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, ensuring strong performance for everyday driving. For those opting for the TREMOR or Platinum models, a High Output 3.5-liter EcoBoost delivers 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, giving you even more muscle for off-road challenges or heavy towing.
Technology and Connectivity –
Technology takes center stage in the all-new Expedition. Ford’s new Digital Experience features allow for greater connectivity with built-in wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The Expedition also includes a Wi-Fi hotspot that can support up to 10 devices and extends up to 50 feet outside the vehicle, making it perfect for tailgating or camping trips.
Additionally, Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driving technology is now available on 90% of Expedition models, offering drivers stress-free highway driving. This system enables hands-free lane changes and lane adjustments, enhancing the driving experience on long trips.
Lineup Overview –
The 2025 Expedition lineup caters to a wide range of needs, with models like the base Active, the luxurious Platinum, the rugged King Ranch, and the adventure-ready TREMOR. Each model offers different features and customization options to suit different lifestyles, from urban families to off-road explorers.
Towing Capability –
The 2025 Expedition is a capable hauler, with a maximum towing capacity of up to 9,600 pounds when equipped with a weight-distributing hitch. The SUV is also loaded with towing aids like Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™, which uses cameras and radar to help align the trailer and hitch, making the process much simpler for the driver. Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ also lets drivers easily back up a trailer using a control knob, taking the guesswork out of maneuvering.
Ordering and Availability –
Ford will open the order books for the all-new 2025 Expedition on October 24, 2024, with the first vehicles expected to arrive in dealerships in the spring of 2025. Whether you’re looking for a tech-savvy family hauler, a capable off-roader, or a luxurious cruiser, the new Expedition lineup has something for everyone.
