2021 Ford Expedition Model Review - Surprise, AZ

What's New For the 2021 Ford Expedition?

The Ford Expedition has a solid reputation for being the large truck-based SUV to beat. It delivers lots of power, interior space, and off-road and towing capability. The 2021 model year welcomes the availability of the MAX-the longer-wheelbase version of the Expedition-on all trim levels. Plus, the MAX gains nearly a foot in length, thereby creating a bit more cargo space.

What Features Are Available for 2021?

The 2021 Ford Expedition is available in XLT, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum trim levels. Three rows of cloth-trimmed seats can seat up to eight people, with the option of replacing the second-row bench-style seat with a pair of captain's seats to reduce maximum capacity to seven. The front includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat.

For comfort and convenience, the Expedition includes a tri-zone automatic climate control system, auto-dimming ability and a garage-door opener on the rearview mirror, and proximity keyless entry with the MyKey system. For infotainment, the Expedition uses SYNC 3 infotainment integration, with features such as six speakers, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, a Wi-Fi hotspot, voice recognition, a trial subscription to SiriusXM Radio, four USB ports, and an 8-inch touchscreen.

Wireless device charging, leather upholstery, second-row heating, HD Radio, and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system appear at the Limited trim level. The King Ranch comes with trim-specific features, including Del Rio leather seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Unique to the Platinum trim are features such as multi-contour front seats and quilted genuine leather upholstery.

2021 Expedition Powertrain Options

Powering the 2021 Ford Expedition is a 3.5-liter V6, which puts out 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque for remarkable acceleration ability, as well as a maximum towing rating of 9,300 lbs. This V6 is pinned to a 10-speed automatic transmission, which provides smooth shifts due to a large number of gears; with its standard rear-wheel drive-which, with the engine in the front, promotes balanced handling-the Expedition scores up to 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. However, you can go with the optional four-wheel drive system to maximize the vehicle's off-road driving performance.

Packed With Safety Features

For driver assistance, the 2021 Expedition provides the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of technologies, which combines automatic high-beam headlights, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and lane-keep assist, and forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection and forward automatic emergency braking.

There's also a rearview camera accompanied by rear parking sensors for monitoring reverse driving. If there's a crash, the Expedition can deploy any of six airbags, and there's a post-crash SOS system for summoning emergency assistance. In addition to the rearview ones, front parking sensors are added to the rearview camera at the Limited trim level and higher.
