Offered in regular- and extended-length Max form, the Ford Expedition full-size SUV seats five people in two rows or up to eight people in three rows.

The V-6 teams with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and rear- and four-wheel-drive models are offered. Competitors include the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the Toyota Sequoia and the Nissan Armada.

Should I Buy the 2023 Ford Expedition?
The Expedition has plenty of capability — it can tow up to 9,300 pounds when properly equipped — and it offers lots of tech features. It’s roomy, rides well and has a powerful drivetrain, too. It can get pricey, and towing disproportionately drags down fuel economy, but the Expedition is an impressive full-size SUV overall. Its list of available equipment is long, and the specialized features of the Timberline and Stealth Performance versions give them distinctive personalities and genuinely improved capabilities.
