The 2025 Ford Expedition is expected to be released in the spring of 2025 Order books opened on October 24, 2024.
What’s New for 2025?
Ford’s latest Expedition offers something for everyone. The 2025 model introduces the all-new TREMOR trim, the most rugged Expedition yet, built for off-road capabilities. It combines Ford’s F-150 inspired toughness with Expedition’s spaciousness and advanced features.
Additionally, all models benefit from Ford’s new 24-inch panoramic digital display and connectivity features, aiming to keep every family member entertained and connected.
Ford has also introduced innovative cargo solutions, including the versatile Split Gate, which functions as both a tailgate and a seating area. This model further integrates Ford’s advanced driver assistance with a larger suite of technology through Ford BlueCruise, now available on nearly 90% of models.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Ford has yet to reveal exact pricing, but expectations place the base model around $60,000, with mid-level trims reaching upwards of $75,000. For buyers wanting a blend of luxury and performance, the Platinum trim remains a prime choice. Expedition Platinum Starting at $74,430
Adventurers, however, might find the TREMOR package a game-changer, with its off-road enhancements, including a higher ground clearance and all-terrain tires.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The 2025 Ford Expedition doesn’t hold back on power. The standard engine is a 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6, churning out a substantial 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. For those craving even more, the TREMOR trim ups the game with a High Output version of the 3.5-liter V6, delivering a staggering 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. Both engines come paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth shifts and optimal power distribution across various terrains.
Rear-wheel drive is standard, while Ford’s ControlTrac four-wheel-drive system is available for those needing extra traction. Drivers of the TREMOR will also enjoy enhanced suspension and an electronic locking rear differential, designed to tackle rugged paths with confidence.
0-60–MPH Times and Towing Capacity
Expect the standard Expedition to hit 0-60 mph in approximately 6.5 seconds, competitive for a full-size SUV. The TREMOR trim, with its power boost, could shave a few tenths off that time, offering an exciting surge for an SUV of its size.
When it comes to towing, the Expedition is a powerhouse. Standard models can tow up to 7,000 pounds, while properly equipped versions can pull an impressive 9,600 pounds. With the Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Trailer Sway Control, handling trailers has never been easier. Whether towing a boat, camper, or trailer, the Expedition is well-suited for both daily tasks and grand adventures.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
Fuel efficiency remains a priority. The standard 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine offers a respectable fuel economy for its class, estimated at around 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. While opting for the High Output V6 on the TREMOR trim will marginally decrease efficiency, the compromise brings added power and capability. The extended fuel tank option (27.8 gallons) on the Expedition MAX ensures fewer stops during long road trips, making it ideal for cross-country treks.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Step inside the 2025 Ford Expedition, and you’re welcomed into a luxurious and tech-forward cabin. Ford’s design team prioritized family-friendly versatility, offering spacious seating for up to eight and multiple configurations for cargo storage. The centerpiece is the new 24-inch panoramic display, which places crucial information right in the driver’s line of sight. In addition to the infotainment, this screen helps create an immersive command center for the driver.
The seats are plush, with ample support in every row. The Expedition also offers Ford’s innovative Third-Row Flexible Seating. This feature allows the middle section of the rear bench to fold independently, creating a convenient aisle for transporting longer items like skis or fishing rods without sacrificing seating.

Cargo space is equally generous. With the third row folded down, the Expedition offers 63.6 cubic feet of cargo room, expanding to a cavernous 108.5 cubic feet with the second row folded as well. The new Split Gate tailgate adds even more functionality, allowing families to create a seating area or makeshift table right from the rear of the SUV.
Infotainment and Connectivity
Ford’s Digital Experience shines in the 2025 Expedition, with user-friendly enhancements designed to keep the family connected and entertained. The Wi-Fi hotspot allows up to 10 devices to stay connected up to 50 feet from the vehicle. Users can stream apps from Google Play, providing options like music, audiobooks, and even movies for passengers to enjoy during long rides. And with the integration of Google Assistant and Alexa Built-In, the Expedition’s infotainment can manage everything from navigation to home automation.
The Expedition’s infotainment system includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, and the available rear-seat digital device holders mean kids in the back can mount tablets securely for uninterrupted entertainment. Ford has also included Zone Lighting, which lets you control exterior lighting zones—ideal for camping trips or nighttime activities.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Ford’s Co-Pilot360™ safety suite brings peace of mind to every drive. The 2025 Ford Expedition includes standard features like Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Assist with Trailer Coverage, Lane-Keeping System, and Intersection Assist. For hands-free driving enthusiasts, Ford’s BlueCruise offers highway driving assistance, now available on nearly 90% of Expedition models. BlueCruise incorporates Lane Change Assist and In-Lane Repositioning, helping drivers handle highways with ease.
The 360-degree camera and Reverse Brake Assist provide further assurance, particularly in tight parking scenarios or crowded urban environments.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
Ford offers a competitive warranty package, including a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Additional maintenance plans are available for those who want extended coverage, ensuring their Expedition remains in top condition.
Ford also includes a 5-year/unlimited-mileage warranty for corrosion perforation, an attractive offer for those who live in areas where road salt and rust are a concern.
