Used 2013 Ford Expedition XLT for sale 

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. 

We Recommend

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 a single-engine option of 5.4-liter V8. This massive engine generates around 310 hp along with 365 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission and delivers the power to the rear wheels as standard.

This Setup helps accelerate the SUV from 0-60 mph in 7.8 seconds. This is the slowest among the competitors and a similar performance is seen in quarter-mile acceleration where the Expedition takes 16.3 seconds to cover the distance. 

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. The Sequoia is the quickest in comparison with 0-60 mph covered in 6.8 seconds, while the Chevy takes 7-seconds to reach the 60 mph mark.

The massive engine does take a toll on the fuel economy of the vehicle. The 2013 Ford Expedition provides a mileage of 13 mpg in the city which improves to 20 mpg on the highway. 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. 

The Chevy Suburban and Toyota Sequoia have a passenger capacity of 7. The Chevy provides the best headroom and legroom for all the seats and thus has a much larger passenger volume. The Chevy also provides the best cargo volume of 38.9 cu-ft behind the rear seat, while both the Ford and Toyota have a cargo volume of almost 19 cu-ft behind the rear seat. The Sequoia has a cargo capacity of 120 cu-ft with rear seats folded, while the Ford gets 108.3 cu-ft.

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 Toyota Sequoia is the heaviest in comparison at 6,000 pounds while the Chevy follows at 5,775 pounds. The Chevy is the longest in length and width.
