What Ford Expedition do most buyers choose?

The Ford Expedition years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, mileage, and price combination. They also sit close to the newest redesign, so you get modern features while still seeing a wider spread of used-market choices.
