No matter what kind of family you have, anyone will agree that the ideal ride should be capable, practical, and safe. You’ll have no problem finding one that combines all three qualities when you visit your local Ford dealer. Let’s take a look at just a few models that make for an excellent family vehicle.
1. 2024 Ford Escape
Although it’s a compact SUV, the stylish Escape is an outstanding choice for those with families thanks to its versatility and generous passenger space. Its standard engine is a 180-hp 1.5L inline-3, but buyers prioritizing efficiency may equip their vehicle with a 192-hp 2.5L hybrid powerplant that helps achieve a fuel economy of 39 MPG combined. There’s also a 250-hp 2.0L inline-4 producing 280 lb-ft of torque, which enables a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.
Inside, the cabin has a simple, yet elegant design and plenty of legroom in both rows, including up to 40.7 inches for those in the back seats. 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.
If you regularly make camping trips with the family, you’ll certainly appreciate that the Explorer can be had with a robust 4-wheel drive system and tows up to 5,000 pounds with either engine. The redesigned cabin has a streamlined design and even more soft-touch materials than the previous year’s model.
3. 2024 Ford Expedition
The full-sized Expedition is Ford’s largest SUV and one of its most powerful. All trims get a twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 that’s mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. On the base model, the motor generates 380 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, but an optional high-output variant boosts performance to 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque.
Combined with the Expedition’s sturdy construction, both versions of the V6 enable a maximum towing capacity of at least 9,000 pounds. The vehicle’s cabin can accommodate up to eight people and sports tri-zone climate control. Many trims get luxurious creature comforts that include genuine leather upholstery and mood-lifting ambient lighting.
