Ford offers the 2024 Expedition in six trims: XL STX, XLT, Timberline, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum. All editions have a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 with horsepower that varies by trim. In the XL STX and XLT, the engine produces 380 horsepower but the output increases to 400 horsepower for the Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum. A 440-horsepower high-output version of the powerplant is available on the Limited and standard on the Timberline. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while four-wheel is optional (4WD is included with the Timberline). A ten-speed automatic manages all drivetrains.
All Expeditions come in a regular-length body (122.5-inch wheelbase and 210-inch overall length), while the Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum are also available with the MAX body (131.6-inch wheelbase and 221.9-inch overall length). The maximum towing capacity ranges from 6,000 pounds to 9,200 pounds when the available Heavy-Duty Trailer Towing Package is installed.
The XL STX starts off the 2024 Expedition’s lineup with tri-zone automatic climate control, automatic LED headlights, push-button start, rear privacy glass, black-finished running boards, keyless entry, a tilt/telescopic steering column, heated power side mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. Its two-row configuration has seating for five, with fabric upholstery, an eight-way power driver’s seat, and a second-row 40/20/40-split folding bench seat.
A third-row 60/40-split power-folding seat is added to the equipment list of the XLT, bringing the seating capacity to eight. The XLT also gets a power liftgate, rear auxiliary climate controls for the second and third rows, a Class IV trailer hitch receiver, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The available upgrades for the Expedition XLT include second-row captain’s chairs (changing seating capacity to seven), a power moonroof, a driver’s memory system, a heated steering wheel, and heated and ventilated front seats.
The Timberline is equipped like the XLT, but with the addition of some trail-friendly equipment like an off-road suspension, reinforced shock absorbers, an electronic limited-slip differential, and a heavy-duty radiator. Its eight-passenger interior has ActiveX upholstery with cloth inserts, proximity keyless entry, a ten-way power driver’s seat, an eight-way power front passenger seat, a driver’s memory system with power-adjustable pedals, and power-folding second- and third-row seats. Also starting with the XLT’s equipment is the Limited, but it takes the Expedition in a decidedly upscale direction with a panoramic moonroof, remote start, a hands-free liftgate, a heated steering wheel, proximity keyless entry, LED exterior headlights, a driver’s memory system, heated power-folding power side mirrors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and 20-inch wheels. The particulars on the Limited’s seating include leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs (a bench seat is available), a ten-way power driver’s seat, and an eight-way power front passenger seat.
The King Ranch puts a Western spin on luxury with Del Rio leather seats, unique exterior badging, second-row power-folding captain’s chairs, a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, power-deployable running boards, exclusive interior treatments, and 22-inch wheels. The Platinum trim provides an upgraded suspension, premium leather-trimmed seating, heated and ventilated front seats with massage, second-row captain’s chairs (a bench seat is available), unique exterior treatments, and interior wood accents.
All 2024 Expeditions come with Ford Co-Pilot360 (forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, and automatic high beams). Rear parking sensors are also standard across the board, while front parking sensors are available on the XLT and Timberline and included on the higher versions. Assist+ (upgraded automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, and traffic sign recognition) is optional on the XLT and Timberline and standard on the Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum. Semi-automatic parking (Assist 2.0) comes on the King Ranch and Platinum and is optional for the Limited and Timberline. BlueCruise, Ford’s semi-autonomous driving support system, is exclusive to the Platinum.
Ford’s SYNC 4 infotainment system has a 12-inch touchscreen and is the rule on the lower trims; the SYNC 4A system with a 15.5-inch touchscreen is standard on the King Ranch and Platinum and optional for the Limited and Timberline. Both SYNC systems provide wireless smartphone integration (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay) and access to navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Ford connected services. SiriusXM satellite radio is standard on the XLT and above. Wireless device charging is standard on all trims but the XL STX and XLT. The XL STX, XLT, and Timberline get a six-speaker sound system, while the Limited gets a 12-speaker B&O arrangement (this is optional on the Timberline). A 22-speaker B&O setup is standard for the King Ranch and Platinum.
