If the only solution to surviving the end of the world was a road trip, you could fit two of every animal in the Ford Expedition with enough room left over for a suitcase or two. - Car Buzz
The 2021 Ford Expedition carries over its engine from the outgoing 2020 model. The Ford Expedition equips a 3.5L Twin Turbo V6 engine that is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This is the standard configuration across all the trims and the RWD and AWD can be upgraded for extra dollars. The engine is capable of producing 375hp at 5,000 rpm and 470 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm.
As standard, the power is fed to the rear wheels but one can always opt for the AWD version. The engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic gearbox developed in-house by Ford. It provides seamless shifts and is ultra-responsive. In the AWD trims, the transmission is coupled with Ford’s clever terrain management system.Ford’s V6 engine coupled with the 10-speed automatic transmission can propel the Expedition from 0-60 MPH in a mere 6.7 seconds and provide a quarter-mile timing of 15.5 seconds. The top speed of the Ford Expedition is 120 MPH and it brings the vehicle to a halt from 60-0 MPH in 129ft.

The Expedition’s 3.5L Twin Turbo V6 engine has an impressive performance in contrast to its V8 rivals. The horsepower and torque figures are only matched by the Nissan Armada with 390hp and 394 lb-ft of torque. Both the GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Tahoe equip identical engines and have identical output, which is much expected as they belong to the same parent company.
The Ford Expedition is one of the most fuel-efficient large SUVs available in the market. It equips a decent-sized 25-gallon fuel tank. It provides 17 mpg in the city 24 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg combined. The Ford Expedition offers a range of 510/690/570 miles on city/highway/combined respectively. The all-wheel-drive version further drops its figures to 22 mpg on the highway. There seems to be no difference in the MPG figures between the regular and long-wheelbase versions despite the extra length.

Looking at the rivals, the Yukon and Tahoe are the only vehicles near to the MPG figures of the Ford Expedition. The driving range of the Ford Expedition is left untouched and unmatched by its rivals.
While it is otherwise splendid inside, the cabin's cheap-looking plastics are flagrant fouls and unacceptable for a vehicle that costs this much. -Car and Driver
The 2021 Ford Expedition boasts an extravagant modern-looking cabin with plenty of premium materials. The upper trims have upgraded leather upholstery, aluminum and wood trim pieces, and lots of leather-wrapped pieces. This, however, fails to provide the cabin of the Expedition a nice feel. The Platinum model which is top of its trim gets the most number of interior features, although some of the features do sound fancy for a 7 seater. The Platinum gets such features that will blow your mind such as multi-contour front seats with a massage function.
The Expedition seats 8 people but if you choose captain-seats for the second row, the number of passengers drops to 7. Regardless of the configuration you go for, there is ample space for passengers of all the rows to seat comfortably. The seats are humongous and high on comfort.
They are snug and long distances should not be a problem at all. For absolute comfort, while grand touring, the Expedition gets a truly massive and one of the biggest armrests in the history of armrests, and underneath gets cubby storage which might be able to fit even an i-pad.Â

The Ford Expedition overwhelms its rivals with 20.9 cubic feet of space behind the third row, 63.6 cubic feet with the third row folded, and a whopping 104.6 cubic feet with both rear rows folded. In comparison to the Yukon, Tahoe, and Armada, the Expedition provides ample space across all the rows. Whereas, the legroom provided in all the cars keeps on reducing as you go behind the row.
Ford Edge comes with an 8-inch touchscreen that sits in the middle of the dashboard. The display is crisp and high-res and has no lag whatsoever. The touchscreen is shod with Sync 3 which is by far one of the best infotainment systems on sale and for the price point. The system is super slick and responds instantly to the touch inputs of the user. It’s intuitive to use and gets Apple Carplay and Android Auto connectivity as standard. The touchscreen works as a display for the reversing camera and comes with dynamic guidelines.
Some of the most prominent infotainment features of the 2021 Ford Expedition are:
It has rugged body-on-frame construction, plenty of ground clearance, and a four-wheel-drive system to get you where you're going even if the path ahead is a little rocky. -Edmunds
The 2021 Ford Expedition is a bulky-looking vehicle that can be expected out of a large SUV. It equips a Bright Chrome grille with Magnetic-painted accents, Black Roof-Rack Side Rails, Halogen Fog Lamps, Quad-beam reflector headlamps, Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL), Configurable Daytime Running Lamps (DRL), and an Available Panoramic Vista Roof.
The front end is boxy and has a lot of chrome which makes it look premium. Especially on the top-spec trims, the Expedition gets super blingy and in-your-face. The side profile is flanked by rather giant 22-inch wheels with continuously controlled damping which set the mood of the SUV. The 2021 Ford Expedition is expected to maintain this look of the SUV because it has been one of its selling points.

The Ford Expedition is the longest vehicle amongst its rivals. The Expedition has an average curb weight of 5443 lbs and it also offers the best ground clearance in comparison to its rivals. The Expedition increases the wheelbase length for the upgradable MAX model.
The IIHS has not crash-tested the new-generation expedition yet. However, the NHTSA has given a Five Star overall rating to the Expedition. The Ford Expedition is equipped with a lot of safety features like blind-spot monitors, automatic emergency braking, and active lane control.
It also gets Co-Pilot 360 safety and driver-assist features as standard for all its trims. Also, active safety features like Night Vision, Stability Control, upgraded Traction control, Pre-collision assist with the automatic emergency braking, Tire Pressure Monitor, Lane Departure monitor warning, Active Stability Control, cross-traffic Alert, Rear Parking Aid, Back-up-camera are equipped in the vehicle.
The GMC Yukon is also available in two body styles namely the Yukon and Yukon XL, which can be paralleled to the Expedition and Expedition Max. However, the Yukon lags in terms of cargo space, engine performance, passenger space, ride quality, and towing capacity. It holds a price lower than the Ford Expedition. The Yukon also employs cheaper interior materials than the Ford Expedition Overall, the Ford Expedition beats the GMC Yukon in all aspects but is also an expensive option.
2021 Ford Expedition Vs 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe
The Chevy Tahoe is mechanically the sister of the GMC Yukon, both belonging to General Motors. There is little to no difference between the Tahoe and the Yukon. The Tahoe is underwhelming in front of the Expedition, but it is available at a lower price than the Ford Expedition. Only go for the Tahoe if you have a really stringent budget and you cannot deviate from it.
The Nissan Armada provides an upscale cabin, good towing capacity but features an underwhelming fuel economy. The Ford Expedition lacks the Armada cabins fine-styling and equips an engine less powerful than the Nissan Armada. Price-wise, the Nissan Armada can prove to be much more valuable with a mighty powertrain. Expedition does offer great interiors but the luxe models are priced exorbitantly. Overall, the Nissan Armada offers a better package than the Ford Expedition.
The Ford Expedition has been one of the top-selling large SUVs in the US market. It is a competent vehicle with lots of potentials, good performance, and a huge cabin. It also has an edge in terms of the cargo space offered. If you are on a tight budget then the Nissan Armada is truly valuable and an intelligent option. Otherwise, the Ford Expedition is a well-balanced option that packs performance, space, fuel economy, and quality in one.
