Very Good

The new 2025 Ford Expedition ticks almost every box you'd want in a large SUV. It's spacious, quiet on the road, packed with great tech, and capable of towing a heavy trailer. We think the Expedition is a great pick for a three-row SUV.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Michael Cantu

3/9/2026

Ford has overhauled its largest and most expensive SUV for 2025. As has long been the case, the Expedition is a great choice for families needing room for more than five passengers, a large cargo area, and for some, a high towing capacity. This three-row SUV is thirsty and can be cumbersome to drive around town, but its size and strength provide a lot of utility. Highlights for the new 2025 Expedition include subtle styling revisions, many new technology features and a new Tremor trim level.

Edmunds spotlight: Everything that's new for 2025

The Expedition's updated exterior styling isn't a huge departure from the previous model, but it looks more modern and refined than before. Fortunately, a lot changed inside. The new Expedition boasts a completely redesigned and significantly better-looking interior. Leading the way are dual displays that consist of a 13.2-inch center touchscreen and a huge 24-inch driver's display that sits on top of the dashboard. They display Ford's latest infotainment system that features Google Play (allows you to download various apps), Google Assistant and Google Maps for navigation. A new split tailgate is another change. The top three-quarters raises like a traditional tailgate, and the bottom quarter folds down like a mini truck tailgate that's strong enough to sit on. There's also a new rugged Expedition Tremor version that sports several off-road upgrades.

Competitors to consider

Many of the Ford Expedition's rivals are also updated for 2025. General Motors' SUVs, which include the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, are all refreshed for 2025 and are solid choices for large SUVs. The regular Expedition competes with the Tahoe and Yukon, while the longer Expedition Max is up against the Suburban and Yukon XL. Like the Expedition, the Nissan Armada was also completely redesigned for 2025. It's notably better than the outgoing model and is worth a look. Other options include the hybrid-only Toyota Sequoia or the updated Explorer if you want a smaller three-row Ford SUV.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Nick Yekikian

Very Good

7.7

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Ford Expedition on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

8/10

How does the Ford Expedition drive? The Expedition is impressively quick for a large SUV. At the Edmunds test track, our Expedition Platinum test vehicle sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. That's more than a second quicker than a Chevrolet Tahoe we tested with its most powerful V8. The Expedition is also composed and stable around turns.

Our only issue with the way the Expedition drives is the steering, which is too slow, requiring a lot of turning to navigate tighter spaces. It won't matter on the highway, but at city speeds you wind up steering a lot. The ride on our Platinum trim test vehicle was good over a variety of road surfaces.

We also like the Expedition's driver aids. The lane keeping assistance worked well to help the vehicle stay in its lane without being obtrusive, and the blind-spot warning system is nice to have in a vehicle this large. You can also get the Expedition with BlueCruise. BlueCruise is Ford's hands-free aid for highway driving. We've found that it's one of the most effective and reliable systems of its type. Only Chevy has a similar system, meaning Nissan and Toyota just can't compete here.

Comfort

7.6/10

How comfortable is the Ford Expedition? The Expedition's greatest strength is undoubtedly space. There's room for passengers in every seat. Very tall passengers might want a little more headroom in the second and third rows, however. The seats are comfortable in all three rows, and the leather seat upholstery in our test vehicle felt soft and premium.

Most SUVs that are based on truck platforms are subject to undue vibrations and reverberations throughout the cabin, but the Expedition keeps those to a minimum. It's much quieter and more comfortable than you expect a truck-based SUV to be. What is truck-like (that we appreciate very much) is how effective the air conditioning is. On hot summer days, you'll have no problem cooling down, and the available ventilated front seats work well too.

One small caveat is that the Expedition rides high, so getting in will be more difficult for some. Also, all of the climate controls are on the touchscreen, and using them can be distracting while driving. We'd much prefer physical buttons, and in something as large as the Expedition, we think Ford could have easily found space to accommodate them.

In-cabin tech

9/10

How’s the tech? Ford has gone for an entirely new look for the Expedition's in-cabin tech. A large main screen atop the dash displays pertinent info like maps, your speed, and many other settings. You can use the smaller touchscreen below to control which widget gets displayed on this main screen, plus you can use it for the car's settings and controls, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

The screens are bright and easy to read, and they don't feel like tech for tech's sake. There are also plenty of USB ports to keep your devices charged up.

Buying Tips for the 2025 Ford Expedition for March

Here are some useful tips for buying and negotiating a deal on a 2025 Ford Expedition.

Buyers are currently paying around 5% less than the sticker price for the new 2025 Ford Expedition. This translates to savings of about $3,606 to $4,093, depending on the trim. Keep this in mind when negotiating the price with dealers to ensure you're getting a fair deal.
The "MAX Active" trim offers a significant savings with a market price $3,738 below the MSRP. If this model meets your needs, it might be the best value for your money.
If you're eligible, there's a $500 special rebate for military personnel and first responders. Make sure to ask the dealer if you qualify when discussing pricing to further reduce the cost.
The new 2025 Ford Expedition is selling a bit more slowly than the average vehicle, spending approximately 101 days on dealer lots. This slower turnover gives you more leverage to negotiate a better price, so be prepared to take advantage of this during your discussions with dealers.

Storage & cargo

9.6/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Expedition offers 22.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 69.9 cubic feet behind the second row, and a maximum of 108.5 cubic feet with all rear seats folded down. While it isn't class-leading, this is still plenty of space. Storage for small items is also good. The center console is large, and the entire unit can slide backward and reveal a small tub that can store items like backpacks, handbags or shopping bags.

When properly equipped, the Expedition also has a maximum towing capacity of 9,600 pounds. This is enough to handle most trailers and campers that owners will want to pull for recreation.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Ford Expedition a good value? Even though the Expedition can get expensive, you are getting a lot of vehicle for that money. It comes with many standard features and offers some neat optional features, such as Ford's BlueCruise hands-free driving system. A loaded Expedition can get into luxury SUV territory, but it's still in the same ballpark as its competition.

The warranty coverage of three years/36,000 miles for basic items and five years/60,000 miles for the drivetrain is average for the class.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

MPG

3/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Expedition gets an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in combined city/highway driving with rear-wheel drive and 18 mpg combined with all-wheel drive. We struggled to match that figure in our testing, and it's likely you'd have to drive very gingerly to match the EPA's estimates. Still, SUVs this large are rarely noted for their efficiency, and the Expedition is still in line with what we've seen from other cars in the class like the Toyota Sequoia and Chevy Tahoe.

X factor

9/10

The Expedition is the rare kind of vehicle that can pretty much do it all. The latest generation rights what the old Expedition got wrong — namely, wonky tech and a loud interior — while being more interesting to look at and better to drive. The Expedition will win you over by being both practical and enjoyable.

2025 Ford Expedition trim level differences

The 2025 Ford Expedition is available in four trim levels: Active, Platinum, Tremor and King Ranch. You also have the choice of the regular-wheelbase Expedition and the long-wheelbase Expedition Max that provides more cargo space. Both wheelbase versions can be optioned to seat seven or eight passengers. Compare the 2025 Ford Expedition trim levels in-depth.

Which Expedition trim does Edmunds recommend?

Even though the midlevel Platinum trim is markedly more expensive than the base Active trim, it's the way to go because the long list of extra features is worth the premium. Plus, you can option the Platinum with the high-output engine and with more packages than any other trim level. The 22-speaker B&O audio system and adaptive suspension in the Driver's package are worthy upgrades.
