All-new Ford Expedition: Live your best big family life

The all-new 2025 Ford Expedition lineup of full-size SUVs includes most everything needed to help active families move up to eight people. Available as either standard-wheelbase or extended-length MAX, the fifth-gen Expedition has been redesigned with better versatility and a nifty split tailgate, advanced technology, and improved capabilities. Trims include Active, King Ranch, Platinum, and the first-ever Expedition TREMOR for off-roading.

Standard configuration is 209.9 in. long with a 122.5-in. wheelbase. MAX is 221.7 in. long with a 131.5-in. wheelbase. Both are 80 in. wide. Standard is 78.1 in. tall, while MAX is 78 in.

From its largest-in-class 24-in. panoramic display to available features such as the Flex Powered Console and an available class-exclusive 40/20/40 folding third-row bench seat, the Expedition has a lot to offer.

Expedition Active, King Ranch, and Platinum include a standard 3.5-L EcoBoost V6 engine rated at 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. A High Output 3.5-L EcoBoost with 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque is standard for the all-new TREMOR and available for Platinum. Both engines get a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The new Ford Split Gate makes every Expedition the only vehicle in its class that combines the best of a traditional SUV liftgate with the cargo management of a pickup truck tailgate. Three-quarters of the gate raises like a traditional liftgate, while the lower quarter folds down like a truck's tailgate. The tailgate has the muscle to support up to 500 lb and includes an available seatback from the available Cargo Tailgate Manager. The seatback also transforms to turn the tailgate into a serving table, with power outlets in the cargo area.

The all-new Ford Expedition also offers comprehensive towing and hitching technology. Pro Trailer Hitch Assist takes the frustration out of hitching a trailer. It uses the rear camera and corner radars to align the hitch with the trailer coupler while simultaneously controlling the truck's speed, steering, and braking to stop at just the right place -- all at the touch of a button.

Pro Trailer Backup Assist allows the camera to track the trailer position while the driver backs up and guides the trailer. This is done by rotating the knob left or right in the direction the trailer needs to go, and the system controls the steering wheel. When properly equipped, Expedition delivers up to 7,000-lb towing capacity without the need for a load-leveling bar and 9,600-lb max towing capacity with a weight distributing hitch.

From the moment a customer sits behind the wheel of the all-new 2025 Expedition, they're immersed in a one-of-a-kind family command center. The Ford Digital Experience comes to life for Expedition owners through beautiful display screens, including a 24-in. panoramic display, which takes the place of a traditional gauge cluster. Unlike other vehicles in the class, the panoramic display is positioned near the lower edge of the windshield to help keep drivers looking at the road ahead. This enables sight lines over -- not through -- the steering wheel.

To optimize the Ford Digital Experience, the all-new Ford Connectivity Package gives owners the ability to use the Wi-Fi hotspot capability, Google Play apps, and embedded Google Maps seamlessly. New Expedition customers can choose how they want to activate the Ford Connectivity Package. At vehicle order, customers can select a one-time purchase without having to worry about setting up a subscription.

For 2025, Ford has expanded the availability of Ford BlueCruise hands-free highway driving across the Expedition lineup, making it available to activate on nearly 90% of all Expedition models. Now, Platinum, King Ranch, TREMOR, and Active models are equipped with BlueCruise hardware. All BlueCruise-equipped models feature an improved version of BlueCruise, which delivers a smoother, more natural drive and increases the average amount of time owners can spend in hands-free mode. Expedition owners will be able to experience features such as Lane Change Assist, allowing a driver to switch lanes hands-free with a tap of the turn signal when the path is clear, and In-Lane Repositioning, which helps provide more space by subtly shifting away from vehicles in adjacent lanes.

Expedition can also come with an available new Digital Device Holder mounted to the back of the first-row headrests. The device easily clamps firmly around nearly any digital device -- from standard smartphone to over-sized tablet.

Because some adventures take families beyond the pavement, the 2025 Expedition lineup introduces a first-ever TREMOR model, the most off-road capable Expedition ever. With the same comforts that make the rest of the lineup shine, Expedition TREMOR adds off-road gear to take on more rugged adventures. Its 10.6-in. ground clearance is better than any other vehicle in the Large Traditional Utility class, and it rolls on 33-in. General Grabber all-terrain tires.

TREMOR is powered by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 High-Output engine that puts out up to 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. It has a re-tuned suspension and electric power-assisted Steering systems, Raptor-inspired running boards and front skid plate, embedded off-road auxiliary lights behind the grille, and underbody protection for the front axle, transfer case, and fuel tank.

It was made for adventures that take explorers far off the beaten path, with a drive mode system that includes Rock Crawl Mode and a trail control system that includes Trail Turn Assist and Trail 1-Pedal.

There are many more features and creature comforts. Check out ford.com/suvs/expedition/2025/ for more details. Pricing starts at $61,700.
