The towing capacity of the Ford Expedition is remarkable for this large Ford SUV. Since many adventure-seekers tend to drive the Expedition, its towing strength helps them take along camping gear, sports equipment, or other large items for their journeys.
To give drivers around Glen Allen, Ashland, and Rockville an idea of what the SUV can do, we created a Ford Expedition towing capacity and performance review. In this review, we'll cover the Expedition's towing capabilities, engine lineup, and off-roading systems.
How Much Can the Ford Expedition Tow?
The 2020 Ford Expedition has an astonishing towing capacity of 9,300 pounds. To achieve that robust power, you'll want to go for the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, which equips the Expedition with:
- Heavy-duty radiator
- Integrated trailer brake controller
- 3.73 electronic limited-slip differential
- Pro Trailer Backup Assist™
To further boost your traction and awareness on the road, Ford armed the Expedition with AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ and BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert. The latter system monitors your blind spot zone to alert you to any approaching vehicles.
However, available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ is the true standout feature of the Expedition. With the simple turn of a knob, it can guide your trailer in reverse, promoting both safety and convenience.
Impressive Performance Specs
To achieve its incredible towing capacity, the Ford Expedition comes with an equally incredible engine.
The incredible engine would be the 3.5L EcoBoost® V6. Not only is it powerful, but it's also efficient, reaching an EPA-estimated 17 city/24 highway MPG with the 4x2 drivetrain. As for power, it delivers 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.
In terms of the drivetrain, you can opt for the available Intelligent 4WD system for enhanced traction. As for the transmission, you'll have a 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission, which seamlessly switches between gears, whether you're downshifting while descending a hill or upshifting to merge onto the highway.
Off-Roading Technology
You can truly go anywhere and accomplish any task when you settle into the driver's seat of the 2020 Ford Expedition.
Along with its powertrain, the Expedition's off-roading capabilities also relies on advanced performance systems. For instance, there's the available Terrain Management System™ on the 4x4 Expedition models. What does this system do? Well, it lets you choose from several drive modes to adjust to specific terrain. These modes include:
- Normal
- Sport
- Tow/Haul
- Eco
- Grass/Gravel/Snow
With the FX4 Off-Road Package, you can further improve your off-roading adventures. This available package comes with:
- Premium off-road front and rear shocks
- Skid plates
- 360-Degree Camera
- Platform chrome-plated running boards
