Ford Expedition: The Full-Size Family SUV

The Expedition is Ford's full-size, body-on-frame SUV, offering three rows of seating, strong towing, and V6 EcoBoost power.

Launched in 1996, the Expedition is Ford's full-size SUV, built on the F-150 truck platform for genuine towing and hauling capability. It seats up to eight and offers a spacious, comfortable interior suited to large families.

Later generations switched to a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 and an aluminum body to save weight, improving efficiency and capability. An extended-length Max version adds even more cargo and passenger room, and the Expedition competes directly with the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban.

With its blend of space, power, and towing strength, the Expedition is a staple choice for families needing a large, capable SUV.
