Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: Fuel economy is terrible, with the EPA rating 2WD models at 16 mpg city, 24 highway, and 18 in combined driving. 4WD models are worse, at 15/22/18, and in our test–which included a long stretch of highway driving–we saw 13.8 mpg from a 4WD King Ranch model.
• Infotainment: The 13.2-inch touchscreen display centered on the dash features built-in Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play store.
• Safety package: BlueCruise 1.4 is available, with the hardware equipped on the Active, Platinum, Tremor, and King Ranch trim levels.

Which Ford Expedition trim should I buy?

The 2025 Ford Expedition offers these trims:

• Active: The entry trim comes standard with tri-zone automatic climate control, power-folding rear seats, and the 24-inch panoramic driver information display, making it the best-value trim for shoppers who want the newest Expedition experience without stepping up the ladder.
• Platinum: This trim adds the high-output version of the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, giving you 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque.
• Tremor: This off-road-focused trim adds the high-output engine, standard 4WD, 33-inch all-terrain tires, 18-inch aluminum wheels, skid plates, an electronic locking rear axle, and increased ground clearance.
• King Ranch: This top trim adds significantly nicer materials and Del Rio leather seating for a more upscale cabin feel.

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 draw the most attention because they give you a strong mix of availability, newer features, and a wide spread of prices. That makes it easier to compare trims and find a version that fits your budget and equipment needs.

What is the Ford Expedition's resale value?

Most model years in the table are down by double digits, which creates attractive opportunities for used buyers. The steepest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older examples are falling more slowly and therefore retaining more of their value.

The 2014, 2017, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
