2023 Ford Expedition Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The Expedition got styling, infotainment, and feature updates for 2022, so changes for 2023 are minimal.

The 2023 Ford Expedition is the largest and most spacious option in the Blue Oval’s SUV lineup. It provides three rows of seating with ample head- and legroom. The Expedition provides an impressive 104.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the second-and-third rows folded flat. Ford also offers the Expedition Max, which boosts total cargo space to 121.5 cubic feet. The Expedition is one year removed from a 2022 update that saw fresh styling, an updated infotainment system, and new features. It carries over into the 2023 model year with minimal changes.

Trims for the Expedition are XL STX, XLT, Limited, Timberline, King Ranch, and Platinum. The base XL STX model comes standard with four USB ports, three-zone automatic climate control, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a fully digital instrument panel. It also comes standard with an intuitive touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Moving up to the XLT trim adds satellite radio and a power-folding third row. It also makes some options and packages available.

The Limited trim brings on features such as leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats, ambient cabin lighting, wireless device charging, a wall-style power outlet, and a Bang & Olufsen 12-speaker premium stereo.

The Timberline trim is designed for the trail. It comes with 32-inch all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, beefed-up skid plates, off-road shocks, unique styling elements, and standard four-wheel drive (4WD).

The King Ranch features its own unique styling elements, unique leather upholstery, a larger touchscreen, and an upgraded 22-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium stereo.

The range-topping Platinum trim adds massaging front seats, active damping suspension, and Ford’s BlueCruise partially autonomous highway driving functionality.

The Expedition comes equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 with various levels of output depending on the trim selected. In standard form (in the XL STX and XLT), it makes 380 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. In the Limited, KR, and Platinum trims, it puts out 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. In Timberline and Stealth trims, it makes 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed through a 10-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels or to available four-wheel drive (4WD). When properly equipped (4x2 with Heavy Duty Towing Package), the Expedition can tow up to 9,300 pounds.
