New Exterior Styling & Aluminum Body

For 2018, the New Ford Expedition sports all-new body panels, which give the SUV an air of refinement and visually conveys its capability. This year, the Ford Expedition also joins the ranks of other Ford vehicles built with the virtually rust-proof and tough-as-nails aluminum body. This upgrade comes standard and contributes to better vehicle protection and fuel economy.

When you see the New 2018 Ford Expedition in person, there are other styling changes that will become apparent as you do a walk-around. The most noticeable are the impressive new headlights, luxurious grille design, and the extended body length of the New Expedition MAX, which makes SUV by about one foot longer and adds an additional 16.9 cu./ft. of cargo space.

Experience The Lavish Interior of the New 2018 Ford Expedition

The interior of the New 2018 Ford Expedition is one of the most luxurious Ford has to offer. It features a number of new innovations centered around comfort, convenience, and safety, including fold-flat seating, onboard WiFi Hotspot, Panoramic Vista Moonroof, and more.

Starting in the driver's seat, you'll immediately know that this SUV, especially in the Platinum trim, is truly something special. Wrap your fingers around the leather-wrapped heated steering wheel. Feel the smooth wood finishes on the console. Experience the peaceful quiet in the cabin, or crank up the Bang & Olufsen Premium Sound System and hear your favorite tunes with stunning clarity.

Ford SYNC 3 keeps you connected with all of your favorite apps, and supports full integration with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. With the simple press of a button, you'll be able to perform a number of actions on your connected smartphone using intuitive voice commands, such as make phone calls, listen to music, ask for directions, and more!

New 2018 Ford Expedition Powertrain

Because Ford understands how important it is to have an engine that can keep up with avid adventurers, they made the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 Engine standard on the New 2018 Ford Expedition. This engine makes use of the latest innovations from Ford to produce up to 375 horsepower and 470 lb./ft. of torque, all while achieving an EPA-estimated 20 combined miles-per-gallon - quite a feat for a vehicle of this size. Part of this boost in efficiency is owed to weight savings of almost 300 pounds, thanks to the New Expedition's light-weight aluminum body. With all of the enhancements included in the Platinum Trim, the Expedition is able to achieve even more with up to 400 horsepower.

This year, Ford has also paired the new engine with their 10-Speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission, which features a tow/haul mode and distributes power where you need it, whether you're trekking down gravel roads or navigating through the West Michigan winter weather. Other features that make the 2018 Expedition the most adventure-ready to date include Continuously-Controlled Damping, Electronic Limited-Slip Differential, Independent Rear Suspension, and more.

Towing Made Easy the New 2018 Ford Expedition

With all of the above capabilities in mind, towing has never been easier than in the 2018 Ford Expedition. The exceptional torque-output of the 3.5L EcoBoost paired with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow package allows the SUV to tow a best-in-class 9,300 pounds - more than your average camper, boat, set of dirt bikes. Other features such as Trailer Sway Control, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, available Blind Spot Information System with trailer coverage, and the Electronic Limited-Slip Differential make long towing trips easier than ever.

Arguably one of the most trying aspects of towing your toys across West Michigan has nothing to do with is backing the trailer up. Now, with the available Pro Trailer Backup Assist, you can "steer" the trailer using a knob on your center console, using the high-definition screen with a heads-up display. Whether you've had years of practice backing up a trailer, or this would be your first time, you can do so on the 2018 Ford Expedition with precision and confidence!
