When looking for a family sized SUV it is hard to beat the well-priced Ford Expedition. The new 2024 Ford Expedition will see many features that will be upgrades from the previous years and generations. This full-sized SUV will be sure to impress and meet your needs all at the same time. In this in-depth review we will discuss some of the new features, what to expect and the overall performance of this SUV.
Key Takeaways:
- The power that will drive the 2024 Ford Expedition will be sure to get you where you need to go and allow for optimal towing power from this SUV.
- There will still be a Timberline trim level similar to the 2023 model year, giving a great option for those who are looking for more of an offroad based vehicle.
- There is a main focus on the towing capabilities of the new 2024 Ford Expedition. While there are no official specifications on how much the SUV will be able to tow, we can expect a good amount because of what we know from the previous generations of this family-sized SUV.
Engine and Drivetrain
There is not any official word to give the exact engine configurations that will be present in the 2024 Ford Expedition. It may see the same 3.5 liter EcoBoost which has been powering it for sometime now. This engine, though it may be smaller, can make up to 440 horsepower and 510 pounds of torque. This will most likely come from the high output version of this EcoBoost engine, and it may be safe to assume that there will be a regular ecoboost that will be available as well.
Similar to the engine configuration we do not yet know what sort of transmission will be mated to this SUV. The previous years have had a 10-speed automatic transmission that has been behind these engines, which have proven to shift smoothly and quickly. If Ford decides to keep the 3.5 liter Ecoboost under the hood we can assume they will also keep the 10-speed transmission.
Trim Levels
Ford has announced the new line up of trim levels that will be seen for the 2024 year, and there is a great selection to choose from. The trim levels that will be available are the XL STX, XLT, XLT MAX, Limited, Limited MAX, Timberline, King Ranch, King Ranch MAX, Platinum, and the Platinum MAX. As you can see there are many options to choose from, however, do not let that overwhelm you. That simply means that the correct configuration for the perfect SUV is found in Ford’s lineup of the 2024 Ford Expedition.
An exciting trim level to mention is the Timberline. This trim level has been around for a year or so now, however, it has been designed to be Ford’s off-road ready trim level. The 2024 Ford Expedition Timberline should be no different as it will most likely come with upgraded suspension to give a better feel while off-roading. The following features are some of the features that have been mentioned for the new Ford Expedition Timberline edition.
- Rough Road Suspension
- Anti-Lock Brake System with Ford Trail Control
- Two Speed Transfer Case
- Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management
Towing Capabilities
Based on the towing capabilities from previous years the Ford Expedition will see quite an impressive towing capacity even though the engine is a smaller size. When this larger family SUV is properly equipped it will be able to tow up to 9,300 pounds with a payload capacity of 1,827 pounds.
In order to tow this amount the proper towing packages must be in place. The 2024 Ford Expedition will most likely see a maximum towing package including a 360 camera to help while trailering. On top of that you will also see a trailer backing guidance to help back up to the trailer that you are hooking up too. These pieces of technology will be a great addition to the SUV which will give you the ability to take the whole family and all the gear you may need for the weekend.
Will the 2024 Ford Expedition be Worth It?
In a very simple answer, yes the 2024 Ford Expedition will be well worth the money. With so many trim levels available you will be able to configure the SUV to your liking and preferences. On top of this the Ford Expedition will still be quite luxurious without breaking the bank. The base XL STX model will start at $56,000 dollars and include a good amount of amenities to accompany you on your journey.
