What Powers the Ford Expedition?
The Ford Expedition offers two engines, both with plenty of power.
The standard engine under the hood is a 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 that delivers 380 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. It works with a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift® capability.
The other engine option is a high-output version of the 3.5L EcoBoost® V6. This motor kicks things up a notch with:
- 440 horsepower
- 510 lb-ft of torque
You'll also have the option of 4x2 capability or 4x4 capability.
If you are looking for more space, the Ford Expedition MAX-a larger version of the Expedition-has the same engine options and drivetrain capabilities.
Depending on which trim level or package you choose, you can also get suspensions like a sport-tuned one.
Ford Expedition Towing Capacity
Your Ford Expedition's towing capacity will depend on what packages, engine, and drivetrain you choose.
When properly equipped, the maximum towing capacity is 9,300 pounds. This is with 4x2 and the standard Expedition size. If you're choosing the Ford Expedition MAX, your maximum towing capacity comes to 9,000 pounds.
What can you tow with over 9,000 pounds of towing capacity? Things like:
- Camping trailers
- Boats
- Car dollies
The Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, which helps you achieve that 9,000+ pounds of towing capacity, comes with a few tools to help you tow.
The Pro Trailer Back-Up Assistâ„¢ 2.0 system enables you to navigate with both the trailer and SUV. Just turn a knob to indicate the trailer's direction. Trailer Reverse Guidance, meanwhile, helps you determine which way your trailer should go when in reverse.
Ford Expedition Cargo Space
The Expedition has plenty of space inside the cabin for supplies and people. With seating for eight, your whole family and even your furry friend can come on your next adventure.
With all seats occupied, your Ford Expedition has 20.9 cubic feet of cargo space to work with. Need as much space as you can get? Fold down the second and third rows to access the 104.6 cubic feet of maximum cargo space.
The Expedition MAX has even more room for passengers and cargo. The total passenger volume of the Expedition MAX is 172 cubic feet. The cargo specs are as follows…
- Behind first row: 121.5 cubic feet
