Ford dropped the massive Excursion in 2006, but the smaller-yet-still-huge Expedition has continued on as the automaker’s full-size family SUV. The three-row body-on-frame utility vehicle shares much of its underlying engineering with the Ford F-150, though it’s more spacious and luxurious inside than its pickup truck counterpart.

What’s New for the 2024 Ford Expedition

The Ford Expedition received no major changes in 2023, but there are a few for 2024, including new tow hooks with the HD Trailer Tow package, USB-C ports for second-row passengers, and a new green paint option.

Design

The Expedition borrows some styling elements from the F-150, including its front end, which features a large grille flanked by standard LED headlights and daytime running lights. Ford offers a few wheel designs for the SUV, and the styling of its side profile features long, straight lines and a clean look without badges or graphics. The SUV’s backside is just as tastefully done, with the Expedition name spelled out and an optional hands-free power lift gate. It also features a blacked-out D-pillar, which gives the roof a floating look in the rear of the vehicle.

Powertrain

The Expedition’s main competitors offer a few powertrain choices, but Ford kept things simple for its own full-size family hauler. A twin-turbocharged V6 comes standard, making 380 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission and rear- or four-wheel drive (RWD or 4WD). Some configurations get a more powerful version of the engine that produces 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, which improves acceleration to just over five seconds for a zero-60-mph run. Towing reaches 9,300 pounds for the standard Expedition and 9,000 pounds for the Expedition Max.

Interior

The three-row Expedition offers a cavernous interior with comfortable accommodations in most regards. A bench seat comes standard for the second row, but higher trims get captain’s chairs, which cut seating capacity by one but increase space for the two remaining second-row seats. Cloth upholstery comes standard, but synthetic and genuine leathers are available. Top trims add massaging for the first row, and some get upscale touches like quilted stitching and contrasting colors.

Technology

The 2024 Expedition comes standard with a 12-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, SiriusXM, and more. A massive 15.5-inch touchscreen is available, and both displays run Ford’s excellent Sync 4 infotainment software. It’s one of the most intuitive, responsive systems on the market, and it runs flawlessly on the large displays.

Safety

Ford offers several advanced driver aids in the 2024 Expedition, but almost none of them come standard. The SUV gets automatic emergency braking and forward-collision alerts by default, but buyers have to upgrade from the base trim to get other features, which include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, adaptive cruise control, and more.

Pricing

Pricing for the 2024 Ford Expedition starts at $55,425 and extends to $83,695 before taxes, destination, and options. Ford also charges a $1,895 destination fee and a $645 acquisition fee.
