2022 Ford Expedition Product Highlight

June 27th, 2022 by



The Expedition is Ford’s largest offering and it has been one of the most popular big SUVs for decades. There are many reasons for this, with the major ones being its power, spaciousness, and durability. The 2022 Ford Expedition redesign has also received a lot of praise. But how good is it really? To find out, check out the following 2022 Ford Expedition product highlight:

Features

The current Expedition model offers a total of 6 trims, 1 engine with various tuning levels, and 2 wheelbases. The 2022 Ford Expedition changes include interior upgrades in terms of design and technology. We also get the all-new 2022 Expedition Timberline trim finetuned for off-roading goodness.

Engine and Numbers

The engine on the 2022 Expedition is a twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. This produces 380 hp and 470 lb-ft if you equip it with the XL and XLT trims. On the Limited trim, this engine is tuned to produce 400 hp and 480 lb-ft. If you get it with the monstrous Timberline trim, it produces 440 hp and 510 lb-ft.

The Timberline’s numbers also apply if you opt for the Limited Stealth Performance Edition. The gearbox used on all the trims is a 10-speed automatic which sends all that power to the rear wheels. You can equip it with 4×4 as well. The Expedition is very quick and has a 0-60 mph time of around 5 s.

The maximum towing capacity that the 2022 Expedition is good for is 9300 lbs. The 2022 Expedition MAX isn’t far behind with 9000 lbs. These are the highest hauling figures for the full-size SUV category if you’re willing to equip your Expedition right.

Despite both being large and powerful vehicles, the Expedition and Expedition MAX are able to give max combined fuel averages of 19 mpg.

Interior and Technology

The 2022 Ford Expedition’s interior design has been lauded by journalists and consumers alike for several reasons. It looks great, it’s practical, and most importantly – it’s huge. This means that all the 5-8 occupants of the vehicle will not have to worry about headroom and legroom.

2022 Expedition XL

Even the basic Expedition comes equipped with a lot of luxurious standard offerings. You get tri-zone climate control, cruise control, an 8-way powered driver’s seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, push-button ignition, and remote start.

For the infotainment, there’s a 12-inch screen, satnav, Wi-Fi hotspot, 2 USB ports, and a 6-speaker sound system. You also get plenty of safety systems such as blind-spot monitoring w/rear cross-traffic alerts, reverse sensing, lane-keep assist, and automated emergency braking w/pre-collision assist.

2022 Expedition XLT

Get the Expedition XLT, and you’ll add goodies such as an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, 40/20/40 folding in the second row, etc. You will have the power to pick from many more optional extras as well.

2022 Expedition Limited

The Limited model increases the amount of luxury that you get. You get leather seats that are heated (and ventilated in the first row), a heated steering wheel, ambient mood lighting, and a killer premium 12-speaker sound system from B&O. A salient standard feature is adaptive cruise control w/stop-and-go.

2022 Expedition Timberline

The 2022 Timberline is well-equipped and you add wireless charging, 2 more USB ports and power points, and a host of offroad hardware and software systems (mentioned below). Added safety systems include a 360-degree camera with guidance for when you reverse with your trailer.

2022 Expedition King Ranch

The King Ranch model oozes sophistication with premium offerings such as Mesa Del Rio leather upholstery, a (larger) 15.5-inch infotainment screen, and an upgraded B&O sound system with 22 speakers.

Another highlight on this is the Active Park Assist 2.0, which helps you take control to counter all sorts of parking challenges.

2022 Expedition Platinum

Despite the influx of features offered on the models above, the range-topping Platinum model still delivers. Apart from all of the perks above, it also offers contour seats for max comfort, a better ride with its CCD suspension, and better noise cancellation.

Exterior and Driving

On the outside, the 2022 Expedition sports a modern and handsome exterior. The wheels available are all made out of aluminum and their sizes vary from 18- to 22-inches. The models differ in terms of their wheels and their front grilles.

The Timberline trim may be the most eye-catching of them all. It sports a darker grille, which combines with its red accents, higher ground clearance, and chunky A/T tires to help you stand out in traffic. It also allows you to choose one of 3 outfitters to place on its roof to carry extra luggage.

The colors available on the 2022 Expedition are the following:

  • Agate Black Metallic
  • Oxford White
  • Forged Green Metallic
  • Iconic Silver Metallic
  • Infinite Blue Metallic
  • Dark Matter Metallic
  • Star White Metallic (Tri-coat)
  • Stone Blue Metallic
  • Rapid Red Metallic

Not all of them may be available for your favorite trim though.

The 2022 Expedition is insanely quick at accelerating for most vehicle classes. Apart from the performance, it also offers a stellar ride that is refined and quiet. It is an excellent off-roading machine as well. The Timberline takes it up a notch with its Trail Control system and multiple range settings.

Reliability and Warranty

JD Power has given the 2022 Ford Expedition a reliability rating of 75 out of 100, which puts it at average. Combine this rating with the positive feedback from the consumers and the NHTSA, and you’ve got yourself a dependable beast.

The warranty on the 2022 Expedition covers you for 3 years/36k miles (limited) and 5 years/60k miles (powertrain).

Verdict

The 2022 Expedition is an awesome SUV and it should be an easy choice if you’re looking for a large SUV that is practical, luxurious, and great to drive. Despite its size, it doesn’t feel like a very large vehicle to drive particularly because of how maneuverable it is.

The safety systems are many and so are the attributes for convenience. The Expedition also takes it easy on the fuel bill and the reliability ratings should favor its dependability as well. And yes, all of the above also applies to the 2022 Expedition MAX.
