2025 Ford
Expedition
With its blend of attributes from ruggedness to refinement, the redesigned 2025 Ford Expedition stands
out in the three-row SUV class. It’s the ideal solution for a family in need of space, an adventurer
craving off-road excitement, or someone who simply values uncompromising performance and utility. Ford
has introduced a host of new features aimed at making the ‘25 Expedition more practical than its
predecessor. Chief among these is the innovative Split Gate, a game-changer that combines the
convenience of a traditional SUV liftgate with the functionality of a pickup truck tailgate. The top
three-quarters operates as a liftgate, while the lower quarter folds down like a tailgate and can
support up to 500 pounds. Plus, a 360-degree zone lighting system is now available to help illuminate
surroundings after the sun’s gone down.
Cargo access has also been improved for passengers in the first and second rows. The available Flex
Powered Console slides back nearly eight inches at the push of a button, opening up a secure storage
space for valuables while also giving second-row passengers easier access to cup holders and controls
for audio volume and climate settings. The Third Row Flexible Seating system comes with a middle bench
seat that folds independently, creating a convenient center aisle that stretches from the Split Gate to
the front console. Technology gets a significant upgrade as well with the Ford Digital Experience hub
making its Expedition debut. Not only does this dashboard layout include a customizable 24-inch
panoramic digital display, but its instrumentation panel is uniquely positioned near the base of the
windshield, helping to keep the driver’s focus on the road.
The most exciting change to the ‘25 Expedition lineup is the first-ever Tremor version of the three-row
SUV, which has been specifically designed to bolster its off-road credentials with tons of overlanding
enhancements. Balancing premium comfort with rugged attributes, the Tremor is built for hardcore
adventure, providing a best-in-class 10.6 inches of ground clearance, standard four-wheel drive, 33-inch
General Grabber all-terrain tires, and a high-output 3.5-liter V6 engine. Some of the other
Tremor-specific features include a retuned suspension, Raptor-inspired running boards, integrated
off-road auxiliary lighting, and comprehensive underbody protection.
Trims, Powertrains, and Performance
The trim levels for the 2025 Expedition are called Active, Platinum, Tremor, and King Ranch. They all
have a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine mated to a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, but the
output differs. In the Active, Platinum, and King Ranch, the engine generates 400 horsepower and 480
lb.-ft. of torque. The Tremor’s higher-output version of the EcoBoost V6 boosts performance to 440
horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque.
Four-wheel drive (4WD) is standard on every grade except for the Active (which can add it as an option).
Versions with 4WD come with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package with Auto Hitch. For heavier hauls, the
Expedition can handle a maximum towing capacity of 7,000 pounds without a load-leveling bar, but that
limit increases to 9,600 pounds with the use of a weight distribution hitch.
As previously mentioned, the Tremor is uniquely equipped for off-road driving with an electronic locking
rear differential, high-flow exhaust system, heavy-duty 28MM engine radiator, modified Raptor skid
plates (front and transmission underbody), fuel tank underbody protection, and a higher ride suspension
with premium passive shocks. Off-road performance is optimized by custom drive modes, too, including
Rock Crawl, Trail Control, Trail Turn Assist, and Trail One-Pedal Drive, allowing you to effortlessly
navigate challenging terrain.
