The Rundown
The family-sized SUV class of vehicles, big behemoths with loads of features, and the 2023 Ford Expedition is THE SUV to get for your family. This model year is now open for ordering and you can go to your local Ford dealer to request one. The Expedition has long been one of the frontrunners in the large SUV class and 2023 continues that precedent. Recently Ford also added the max option, in case the standard Ford Expedition is not large enough you can get the larger max option for only around $2,000 more, which gives you an extended wheelbase, slightly more room in the third row, but a much larger cargo area. This might just be a maintenance year for the Ford Expedition, but we see it as this model year carrying the torch of Ford excellence.
What Are the Available Trims and Pricing on the Ford Expedition?
It is rumored that the 2023 Ford Expedition will start off with a lower price around $51,000 on the XL trim. The XL trim is just a little bit spartan in features, but it gets you around town in the Expedition style at an attractive price. The next trim level is the XLT coming in at around $59,000, then the Limited trim at $68,000, followed by the Timberline trim at $72,000. Then there are the two top dogs of trims which come loaded with everything Ford has to offer, the King Ranch trim ($78,000) and the Platinum trim ($80,000). The Limited package is one of our favorites because it has an available Stealth option, which jumps up your engine performance and includes upscale badging.
What Is the Interior Like on the Ford Expedition?
The Ford Expedition is herculean, with enough space for adults in the second and third row. Sometimes it feels like an expedition just exploring the interior of the gargantuan SUV. The Expedition also has generous amounts of cubby space and storage, and if needed the Max option greatly increases the cargo area. This makes it the perfect long-distance car with tons of space for whatever your family may need to haul. Not only is the interior spacious, but its design feels like we are entering a luxury SUV. The dashboard is neatly designed and features a large 12-inch touchscreen infotainment center, and the rest of the dash is neatly organized and unobtrusive. Your Expedition can also be fitted with a larger 15.5 tablet-oriented screen. The second row can be upgraded to captain’s chairs if need be.
How does the Ford Expedition Handle and What Motivates It?
This SUV might seem like a beast, but your passengers will be pleased with a very comfortable ride. The Expedition is smooth, keeping your passengers happy and making you feel confident with lots of safety features. A 3.5-liter six-cylinder twin turbocharged engine commands the Expedition with authority, its horsepower depends on which trim you choose, the lowest being 380 horses and the highest being 440 horses. The 2023 Ford Expedition is a tough car that is moved along comfortably by a strong engine.
