Ford’s all-new 2025 Expedition lineup has arrived, offering families a full-size SUV with a complete redesign aimed at enhancing versatility, advanced technology, and improved capability. The fifth-generation Expedition is available in both standard and extended-length Expedition MAX versions, providing comfort, roominess, and connectivity along with modern features to help families make the most of their time together.
A Family-Centric Redesign
“For Expedition customers, family is at the center of everything they do,” says Trevor Scott, Ford Utilities General Manager. With over 1,100 hours of customer feedback, the Expedition has been rethought and redesigned to ease the demands of family life, both during and after every trip. This iteration focuses on maximizing comfort and convenience, incorporating new features like a 24-inch panoramic display, available Flex Powered Console, and a class-exclusive folding third-row bench seat to ensure seamless family adventures.
Power and Performance
The 2025 Expedition lineup boasts powerful engines to suit various driving needs. The Expedition Active, King Ranch®, and Platinum® trims feature a 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine delivering 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking more, the new Tremor® and Platinum trims offer a High Output 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine with 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, ensuring optimal performance for both daily driving and off-road adventures.
Innovative Versatility
Ford has introduced new elements designed to enhance versatility for families. The Split Gate, a first-in-class feature, combines a traditional SUV liftgate with the utility of a pickup truck tailgate. The lower quarter folds down to support up to 500 pounds, providing easy access for camping or tailgating, while the seatback transforms into a serving table.
Inside, passengers benefit from the Flex Powered Console, allowing the driver to slide it back for easier access and storage. Additionally, an available third-row flexible seating option allows longer objects like skis or fishing rods to be stored without compromising seating for six passengers. For enhanced convenience, the new exterior zone lighting system ensures a well-lit environment when the family is parked at campsites or enjoying outdoor activities.
Advanced Technology
Inside, the Expedition acts as a digital command center for families. The Ford Digital Experience offers driver-specific profiles, app integration, and voice controls via Google Assistant or Alexa. A 24-inch panoramic display sits near the lower edge of the windshield for easy viewing, and it allows for hands-free control of climate settings, destinations, and entertainment.
The all-new Ford Connectivity Package includes features like a Wi-Fi hotspot capable of supporting up to 10 devices, access to Google Play apps, and embedded Google Maps. Families can stream movies, play games, or enjoy their favorite apps, all accessible even while parked.
Hands-Free Driving with BlueCruise
Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology is now available on nearly 90% of the Expedition lineup, enhancing the driving experience. With features like Lane Change Assist and In-Lane Repositioning, BlueCruise helps drivers make safe lane changes and provides more space between adjacent vehicles. Families can access this technology with flexible subscription options, including a complimentary 90-day trial.
Tremor: Off-Road Capability at its Best
For off-road enthusiasts, the 2025 Expedition Tremor is the most capable model in the lineup. Boasting 33-inch all-terrain tires, 10.6 inches of ground clearance, and a powerful 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine with 440 horsepower, the Tremor is built for rugged terrain. Its advanced off-road systems include Rock Crawl Mode, Trail Turn Assist, and 1-Pedal driving, making it ideal for families seeking adventures far from the pavement.
Towing Power
The 2025 Expedition offers towing capability for large families with heavy loads. The Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ and Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ make hitching and towing easier than ever, while a maximum towing capacity of up to 9,600 pounds ensures the Expedition is ready for serious hauling.
