Selecting Your Ford Expedition Trim Level
Each Ford model comes with a wealth of options. If you want to alter the interior styling or boost the performance, you can do so by choosing a specific trim level. For the Ford Expedition, there are eight unique trims to consider.
The base trim is the XLT. Part of what makes the XLT such a worthwhile option is the detailed feature list that it comes with.
After the XLT, the trims ascend in the following order:
- XLT Max
- Limited
- Limited Max
- King Ranch
- King Ranch Max
- Platinum
- Platinum Max
Performance in the Ford Expedition
Given the size of the 3-row Ford Expedition, a strong and reliable engine is a must. Under the hood, Ford has fitted a 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 motor that will churn out 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.
You have some options when it comes to choosing performance, too. Both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive powertrains are offered. If you go for the 4x4, your EPA-estimated fuel economy will measure 17 city MPG/ 23 highway MPG.

If instead you choose the 4x2 powertrain, you'll enjoy an EPA-estimated 17 city MPG/ 24 highway MPG.
The transmission is an automatic 10-speed that comes with SelectShift® capability. The emphasis is on smooth gear shifting whether you're towing a trailer or are maneuvering around town.
Finally, with the right configuration and the Heavy-Duty Trailer Towing Package equipped, your SUV will be able to tow a maximum of 9,300 pounds.
