What should I look for when buying a used Ford Expedition?

• Fuel efficiency: 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.

Which Ford Expedition trim should I buy?

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 the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right price and equipment mix. They also usually reflect the model years that shoppers are actively cross-shopping.

What is the Ford Expedition's resale value?

Most Expedition model years are down year over year, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. The steepest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older model years are changing more slowly. That mix suggests there are still opportunities to find value across the lineup, especially if you’re flexible on model year and equipment.

The 2016, 2015, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
