Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Ford's Co-Pilot360 Assist—a bundle of advanced driver-assistance features—is now available as an option on the XLT model for 2021. And the Expedition receives new wheel designs on all of its trims. The lineup also introduces a two-row-only XL STX base model that starts at $51,690. Based on spy photos, we expect the 2022 Expedition to undergo a mid-cycle refresh that brings a giant, vertical touchscreen infotainment system (likely a 15.5-inch display inherited from the Ford Mustang Mach-E EV) as well as a more rugged trim level, possibly called Timberline.

Pros
Spacious cabin,
turbo V-6 makes plenty of power,
stout towing capacity.

Cons
Plasticky interior trimmings,
feels exactly as large as it is from behind the wheel,
expensive upper trims.

The new SUV will be available in XLT, Limited, and Platinum trims in rear- or four-wheel-drive configurations. A long wheelbase Expedition will be offered and is called Expedition MAX, which is a new name for the States. Pricing hasn't yet been announced.
