The 2024 Expedition is a great pick for a large three-row SUV. It has a spacious interior, comfortable seating, user-friendly technology, powerful turbocharged V6 engines and an easy-to-drive nature. A thirst for premium fuel is our only major complaint.Read full review

Pros

Cavernous interior with plenty of passenger and cargo space
Quick acceleration from strong V6 engine
Large standard display screen, or even larger optional screen
Tows more than similarly sized SUVs

Cons

Disappointing real-world fuel economy
Large size and slow steering make it cumbersome to drive

What's new

No major changes for 2024
Part of the fourth Expedition generation introduced for 2018

Overview

The 2024 Expedition is Ford's biggest and most capable SUV. Its truck-based construction gives it a lot more capability than you'll find in large three-row crossovers like the Honda Pilot and Volkswagen Atlas. The Expedition is rated to tow up to 9,300 pounds, while unibody competitors like the Pilot and Atlas top out around 5,000 pounds. If you've got a big ski boat or a heavy camper to drag around, the Expedition is a solid pick for a capable three-row large SUV.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Ford Expedition XL STX 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.90 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: Passenger volume

What the Expedition's big body doesn't provide is significantly more room than the biggest car-like crossover SUVs. Passenger space in the second and third rows is a toss-up between the Ford and vehicles like the Pilot. That's even true of the long-wheelbase Expedition Max, which has more cargo space behind the third row but no additional room in the seat itself.

Competitors to consider

You'll likely want to cross-shop the Expedition against the massive Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, Jeep Wagoneer and Wagoneer L, Nissan Armada and Toyota Sequoia. But if you don't need the towing capacity of the Expedition and its truck-based rivals, you can save a bundle of money by looking at compelling three-row vehicles like the Pilot, Atlas, Hyundai Palisade, and Kia Telluride. Read the Edmunds Expert Rating of the Expedition below to decide which hauler is right for you and your family.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Expedition drive? Any doubt that the Expedition's turbocharged V6 engine isn't up to V8 standards should be put aside. In standard form, the 400-horsepower V6 helped the Expedition sprint to 60 mph in a respectable 6.9 seconds in Edmunds' testing. We also tested the available 440-horsepower high-output version. It imbued the Expedition with surprising speed, getting to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. That's quicker than the Chevy Tahoe, even with its larger 6.2-liter V8 engine. The Expedition is responsive and easy to drive when you aren't burying the accelerator into the ground too.

The brake pedal is slightly squishy when you first press on it, but ultimately it's pretty easy to come to smooth stops, which is the important part. The steering has a light effort and helps to make this Expedition feel a little less humongous. Opting for the Timberline model adds a bit more off-road capability through extra ground clearance, off-road tuned shocks, all-terrain tires and a front skid plate.

While you won't likely be driving your Expedition with Secret Service-like urgency, it has some pretty admirable qualities for such a large SUV. It's no Mercedes GLS, but it does not feel clumsy.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Expedition? The Expedition's front seats are comfy and cushy. They have multiple zones of lumbar support and even have a massage function in the higher trims. The second-row seats are also decently plush. The third-row seating is firm but still adequate for adult use. The Expedition's ride quality is pretty smooth too.

We were less impressed by the Expedition's climate control. The air flow from the vents is noisy and not particularly strong. The seat heaters also might disappoint if you really like them to get hot. On the upside, the Expedition is impressively quiet on the highway and around town.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The Expedition makes full use of its interior space. It's roomier than the Chevy Tahoe and gives every passenger ample room and comfort. The third row's accessibility is particularly impressive, allowing even adults to get in and out without much more effort than it takes to sit in the second row.

The center console is a bit button-heavy. It's not immediately user-friendly, but it doesn't require too much time to master. It's a simpler layout than the Tahoe's too. Visibility out of the front is hampered by the massive windshield pillars. And even though the rear window looks to be a mile away, a clear backup camera and available 360-degree camera system take the edge off backing up.

Build & Price

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? Ford's infotainment system is easy to get the hang of and incudes wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Sound quality from our test vehicle's 12-speaker sound system was unremarkable.

Our Expedition also came with a suite of drive assist systems that made time on long highways much less fatiguing. The adaptive cruise control with lane keeping assistance worked well on a long stretch of highway and worked just as well at night. The blind-spot warning system was an essential piece of tech that kept us on the straight and narrow too, and aside from a slightly overly sensitive lane keeping system, the Expedition's driver aids worked supremely well.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The Expedition has a listed cargo capacity of 19.3 cubic feet behind the third row, 57.5 cubic feet behind the second row and 104.6 cubes max. That's less space than its direct rival, the Chevy Tahoe. But the Expedition's extra spaces for all your knickknacks, plus its flexible seating arrangement, more than compensate.

The Expedition is also a good vehicle for hauling little kids around. It has easy-to-access anchors for safety seats plus lots of room to fit rear-facing seats. Towing capability is great with a standard capacity of 9,000 pounds and a maximum of 9,300 pounds when properly equipped.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Expedition gets an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in combined city/highway driving with rear-wheel drive, 18 mpg combined with 4WD, and 17 mpg combined with the high-output engine. Those are similar to the EPA figures for other large SUVs. During our real-world testing, we found that it takes a light foot to match the EPA's numbers. Something else to consider is that premium fuel is required to get the quoted power numbers. During our time with the Expedition, we could notice a difference in performance between regular and premium fuel.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Expedition a good value? Honest-to-goodness do-it-all machines are hard to come by, but the Expedition gets close. It's got a gutsy engine, has plenty of space, is built reasonably well (except for some occasional squeaking from hard plastics), and has an available dollop of off-road ability. The upper Expedition trim levels can get pretty expensive but overall we think you get your money's worth. Ford's warranty on the Expedition is solidly average. It offers a three-year/36,000-mile standard warranty and a five-year/60,000 mile warranty for the drivetrain and roadside assistance.

Wildcard

7/10

The Expedition isn't fun to drive in the classic sense, but it is rewarding to summon its muscle car-like torque and use this big SUV for its intended purposes. Road trips, daily commuting and heading out to the great outdoors are all right up the Expedition's alley. Everyday driving lends it a Golden retriever-like personality. A gigantic torquey Golden retriever.

Which Expedition does Edmunds recommend?

With a panoramic sunroof, leather interior, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second row, tri-zone climate control, navigation, and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, the Limited has most everything we'd need on an Expedition. It also opens the door to the high-output version of the EcoBoost engine and a sport suspension with the Stealth Performance package, although that gets pricey and limits interior and exterior color choices.

I've been a loyal Ford person since 1978. I own 4 Fords right now and the 2 that have the 10 speed transmission and Eco-Boost 3.5 engine are junk. The transmission has shifted into neutral all by itself when accelerating to pass on the freeway.

2023 Ford Expedition Limited 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

Beautiful car but finish leaves much to be desired. Steering is too light and nervous, unstable. Suspension is bouncy and handling not as good as a Tahoe for example, we had the 2016 Tahoe and even twisty mountain roads that car drove great. The Ford V6 engine is powerful enough only it suffers from turbo lag, something you don't have with a V8, that drives much smoother. Big problem I …

Jeep Wagoneer vs. Chevy Tahoe vs. Ford Expedition | Full-Size SUV Comparison Test

Aside from each other, the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition haven't had much competition in the world of mainstream full-size SUVs. But that's changed recently, as Jeep has revived the Wagoneer name in the form of an absolutely gigantic three-row SUV that's looking to bring a serious fight to the segment stalwarts. Does the Jeep Wagoneer have the goods to back up its…

Ford Expedition vs. Chevrolet Tahoe

Where the Expedition offers the same engine in three different states of tune, the Tahoe offers three different engines: a 3.0-liter turbodiesel and 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8s. The comparison is surprising: While the high-output EcoBoost was quicker than a V8 Tahoe in our testing, the Tahoe's real-world fuel economy was better. And to make full power, the Ford needs premium gas. We have a Tahoe with the Z71 off-road package in our long-term fleet right. Read more about it here.

Ford Expedition vs. Jeep Wagoneer

Like the Expedition and the Tahoe/Suburban twins, the Wagoneer is available in sizes enormous and ginormous, the latter being the Wagoneer L. Arriving about a decade late, the Jeep at least brings a spacious, comfortable and well-appointed interior to the fight, and the Wagoneer's trim levels include a few more goodies than the equivalently priced Ford tiers. Like Ford, Jeep goes with a turbocharged-six for the Wagoneer, but arranges its cylinders in a straight line rather than a V.

Compare Ford Expedition & Jeep Wagoneer features

Ford Expedition vs. Toyota Sequoia

Freshly redesigned this year, the Toyota Sequoia sees Ford's twin-turbocharged V6 and raises it one hybrid system. Even with electric assistance, the Sequoia falls a few horsepower short of the high-output EcoBoost, but its 583 lb-ft of torque significantly bests the Ford. Just as the Chevrolet Tahoe finally switched over to an independent rear suspension, Toyota abandoned its setup for this generation, with predictable results. As if proving a point, its third- and second-row seats are now a little cramped.

Safety

Our experts’ favorite Expedition safety features:

Adaptive Cruise with Stop-and-Go: Sets and maintains a safe following distance from the car ahead and can bring the SUV to a stop when necessary.
Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection: Warns you of a possible collision with a pedestrian and can automatically apply the brakes if you don't respond in time.
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System): Alerts you to vehicles lurking in the SUV's blind spots to prevent a possible collision during a lane change.
