If you’re looking for a vehicle that can keep up with the adventures of your next road trip, take a closer look at the 2018 Ford Expedition. This full-size SUV has enough room for your entire crew, plus all your luggage, and it’s packed with features that make it more comfortable.
Large Size
When it comes to road tripping, most people need as much space as possible to fit their family and friends, along with the stuff needed to enjoy the trip. You might be packing your vehicle with multiple pieces of luggage, a cooler with cold snacks and drinks, golf clubs, or other adventure necessities. Most travelers don’t want to sacrifice the seating area, but when the cargo area is full, you don’t have a lot of other options.
The 2018 Expedition is large, boasting plenty of space for up to eight people and all your stuff. In fact, it has one of the largest cargo areas among models in its class. The second row can slide and recline for improved comfort on long trips, while the third row can fold flat at the touch of a button if you don’t need all the seats.
Comfort and Convenience Features
Even the base XLT trim level comes equipped with a variety of convenience and comfort features. Standard equipment includes a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel that can tilt and telescope for comfortable positioning, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. If you choose one of the higher trim levels, you can get features like leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with lumbar support, dual-zone automatic climate control, a heated steering wheel, heated front and second-row seats, and enhanced front seats with massaging functionality. When you’re on a long trip, it’s tough to beat the comfort that comes with a seat that offers automatic massaging.
Tech and Safety
On a road trip, it’s always important to stay connected. With standard Bluetooth connectivity and a nine-speaker audio system with an auxiliary jack and USB port, the Expedition makes it easy to connect your phone. You can also take advantage of these features to listen to your favorite playlists on the trip. Available options include an 8-inch touchscreen, a WiFi hotspot, wireless phone charging, and a premium audio system.
Safety features across all trim levels include a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, antilock brakes, and traction and stability control. A suite of driver assistance safety features is available as an upgrade, which adds automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, automatic wipers, lane-departure warning with intervention, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.
Power
All trim levels of the 2018 Expedition come equipped with a powerful 3.5-liter turbocharged V-6 engine, pumping out 470 lb-ft of torque and 375 horsepower. With the Limited trim, this engine is specially tuned and puts out 480 lb-ft of torque and 400 horsepower.
