You'll have no problem finding one that combines all three qualities when you visit your local Ford dealer.

Along with top-notch amenities like dual-zone climate control and available heated seats, the vehicle has standard blind-spot monitoring and lane-keeping systems. 2. 2025 Ford Explorer While the Explorer continues the tradition of promising unbeatable performance and comfort in its segment, the latest iteration of the mid-sized SUV gets bold restyling and a more refined interior. Putting out a hefty 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, the standard 2.3L turbocharged inline-4 pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission to deliver impressive acceleration. An available twin-turbo 3.0L V6 increases power to 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque.

Roomy. Powerful. Luxurious. All of these words have been used to describe the 2024 Ford Expedition, and they're a start, but the Expedition is more than a spacious SUV with a beefy power plant. With five-star NHTSA crash test ratings, a full suite of safety features, and an energetic performance profile, there's a lot more to love about the Expedition than meets the eye. Here's why we love the 2024 Expedition and why we think you will, too. more 1. Game-Changing Power With the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 coming standard even on the entry-level Expedition, there's more than enough power to move you. Mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift technology, the engine makes a stirring 380 horsepower and a muscular 470 lb-ft of torque, with an upgraded tuning offering 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft on tap in Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum trims. 2. Terrain Management on Tap While the Expedition normally distributes its power to the rear wheels, the available Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System puts multiple performance profiles at your fingertips, effortlessly optimizing performance with Eco, Normal, Sport, Tow/Haul, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Sand, and Mud/Ruts modes, with the ability to manually select 2WD or 4WD in each mode. 3. Forward-Thinking Suspension It's not just that the 2024 Expedition offers independent suspension on both the front and rear axles. With the available Continuous Controlled Damping, bumpy roads and uneven surfaces are actually visually monitored by a forward-facing camera, allowing the system to respond to bumps and jostles before they ever even happen. The result? An extra-smooth ride the whole family will enjoy, even if they never notice the ride at all. 4. Tons of Towing The Expedition isn't just incredible for bringing the people you love most wherever the road can take you. When properly equipped, the Expedition offers up to 9,000 pounds of towing capacity, making it the perfect SUV to bring your horse trailer, boat, camper, or snowmobile along for the journey. 5. Room for Everyone (and Their Stuff) With a stunningly luxurious 43.9 inches of legroom in the front row, 41.5 inches in the second row, and 36.1 inches in the third-row seats, there's more than enough room in the Expedition for tall teens or full-grown adults in every seat. And with 20.9 inches of cargo capacity behind the third row opening up to a staggering 104.6 cubic feet with rows two and three folded, there's plenty of cargo capacity in the Expedition for gear, luggage, groceries, and more. With so many cutting-edge features on offer, the 2024 Expedition is ready to take you and your family further, off the beaten path and on to adventure.
