The 2021 Ford Expedition still remains a strong contender in the full-size, three-row SUV class. Most recently redesigned in 2019, the Expedition now features fully independent suspension and a V6 engine. It’s comfortable, competent, and capable for carrying up to eight passengers and their gear. The Expedition Max adds length and capacity, stretching out its tail by nearly a foot. No major changes are expected for 2021.
The new 2021 Ford Expedition comes in four trims:
The Expedition frames a wide, expressive grille with its banded chrome headlights, and scoped blue oval Ford nameplate. Its doors are trimmed with metallic accents that balance the glass windows and tall frame. The sides of its body cut a sharp profile without being too blocky.
Buyers can choose from 18-, 20-, and 22-inch wheels
This spacious three-row SUV seats up to eight passengers plus their cargo. Its interior is full of luxury and plush seats, but also has some plastic trimmings. It features comfortable seating, with enough room to seat adults in the third row with plenty of legroom. If the standard wheel-base length isn’t enough, buyers can opt for the Expedition Max with the longer wheelbase.
All trims come with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 turbocharged engine and 375 horsepower, except the Platinum will give you 400 horsepower. They come with a ten-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or four wheel-drive on all trims.
Towing: all models can tow up to a maximum 9,300 pounds
Fuel:
The Expedition has all the latest driver-assistance technology with the standard Ford Co-Pilot360 that includes:
Available lane-keeping assist with lane-departure warning, and available adaptive cruise control are also options.
Ford provides a solid warranty on the Expedition, but no complimentary scheduled maintenance is offered.
The 2021 Ford Expedition delivers nearly all of what you would want in a large SUV. It’s comfortable, classy cabin, and capable performance with its V6 engine and powerful towing capacity helps rank it high in the large SUV class.
