Overall Rating
The Ford Expedition is a full-size SUV from the Blue Oval and comes with no major changes for the 2013 model year. The SUV loses the previous model year's XL trim and gets some minor mechanical upgrades such as an integrated brake controller for better towing
There are no major changes in the 2013 Ford Expedition and it still gets the powerful 5.4-liter V8 engine that drives great overall performance. The Expedition is equipped with great features right from the base trim and there are a few of them like the heated steering wheel, automatic headlights, and parking sensors which are standard.
The interior is roomy and provides considerable spacing for all the passengers. Starting at a base price of $43,000 the new Ford Expedition is on the expensive side, and thus competes with equally capable SUVs like the Chevrolet Suburban and the Toyota Sequoia.
We would recommend opting for the base XLT variant which in itself has most of the features included with it. The automatic headlights, rear parking sensors, power front seats, and Ford's voice-operated Sync system are a few of the many features that we get in the base trim itself. Thus available at a price of $43,000 it provides the best value for the money spent.

The 2013 Ford Expedition is available in three trims, namely the XLT, Limited, and the King Ranch. The XLT in itself begins at a price of $43,000 and gets fairly considerable features that justify the high cost. The next one is the Limited trim which adds more than $4,000 along with more features like parking sensors, power-folding mirrors, heated second-row seats, and few others.
The top of the line King ranch variant is available at a price of around $48,500 and is the most luxurious of them. It adds over the list of features available in the limited trim and provides enhanced interiors.

The 2013 Toyota Sequoia is the most powerful in this comparison with a power output of 381 hp, while the Chevrolet Suburban follows the Sequoia with 320 hp. All the vehicles are equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Thus combined together we get a fuel economy of a mere15 mpg from the Expedition. Along with that, the Expedition has a fuel tank capacity of 228 gallons which provides a maximum range of 560 miles.

The 2013 Chevy Suburban proves to be the most fuel-efficient in comparison with a combined mileage of 17 mpg. The Toyota Sequoia sits at the bottom with its much higher power output and provides a combined mileage of 14 mpg. The Chevy has the biggest fuel tank capacity of 31 gallons while the Sequoia has the smallest capacity of 26.4 gallons.
The 2013 Ford Expedition gets a decent interior where the controls are ergonomic and makes your life easy. The interior design is not fancy and gets an old flat dashboard in the front. But the interior provides you with all the space required and makes it comfortable for all the occupants.
The front gets the captain’s chairs which are raised higher for a clear outside view. The third-row seats are power folded which does make life easy. The Expedition can carry up to 8 passengers and provides considerable spacing for all of the occupants.Â

The exterior design of the new Ford Expedition is not the most modern that we currently see, but the Expedition manages to get all the proportions correct.
The boxy design is also not the most aerodynamic and adds to the lower fuel efficiency. The Expedition weighs around 5,549 pounds which is comparatively lighter than its competitors.

The NHTSA has given the 2013 Ford Expedition a 4-star safety rating out of 5. The IIHS has given a ‘Good’ rating for a few of the segments, while the front sections get a ‘Medium’ and ‘Poor’ rating. Even after that, the IIHS has given the Ford Expedition a Top Safety Pick award for the year 2013. Along with that, the Expedition carries few safety features which help improve the safety factor of the vehicle. Here is a list of those safety features:
The 2013 Ford Expedition is one of the most capable full-size SUVs out there. The powerful 5.4-liter V8 engine provides great power all performance, while the interior is roomy and can accommodate upto 8 people inside the cabin. The Expedition may not be the quickest or the most fuel-efficient, but it does deliver a great overall experience. So if you are looking for a powerful truck that would provide great interior spacing, the Ford Expedition is one of the SUVs to look out for.
