2024 Ford Expedition SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Ford Expedition is available in two wheelbases, huge and gargantuan, both of which can be optioned to seat seven or eight passengers. The base shorter-wheelbase truck only seats five. The regular Expedition and long-wheelbase Expedition Max can be had in six trim levels — XL, XLT, Timberline, Limited, King Ranch and Platinum — in rear- or four-wheel drive. Keep reading for our rundown of the Expedition's significant standard features and options.

XL
The XL trim is intended for fleet buyers. Standard features include:

  • Turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine (380 horsepower, 470 lb-ft of torque)
  • 10-speed automatic transmission
  • Seating for five passengers
  • 18-inch wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • 12-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality (wireless connectivity for both)
  • Trailer tow package
  • Ford Co-Pilot360
    • Blind-spot warning with cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
    • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
    • Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)

XLT
The XLT includes all of the XL's features, adding:

  • Power-folding third-row seat (seating for eight passengers)
  • Tri-zone automatic climate control

Limited
The midtier Limited trim is the one we suggest going with. Besides the XLT's features and options, the Expedition Limited offers:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Power liftgate
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated second-row seats
  • Second-row captain's chairs (seating for seven passengers)
  • Power-folding second-row seats
  • 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system
  • Navigation
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Expedition and the car in front)

Timberline
Builds on the XLT's features with:

  • Upgraded V6 engine (440 hp, 510 lb-ft)
  • Black 18-inch wheels
  • All-terrain tires
  • Off-road-tuned suspension
  • Heavy-duty radiator
  • Electronic limited-slip differential
  • Low-range gearing (4WD only)
  • Special exterior trim
  • Unique interior upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Power-adjustable pedals and steering column
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad

King Ranch
The Expedition King Ranch is loaded with features, many specific to this trim. The King Ranch builds off the Limited with:

  • Two-tone paint scheme
  • 22-inch wheels
  • Power-deployable running boards
  • Special leather upholstery
  • Power-folding second-row captain's chairs
  • 15.5-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • 22-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system
  • Full digital instrument panel
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Expedition and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Platinum
The Platinum trim has the same feature upgrades as the King Ranch but without the special styling details. On top of that, you get:

  • More powerful V6 (400 hp, 480 lb-ft)
  • Adaptive suspension (can enhance road comfort and handling stability)
  • Upgraded leather
  • Wood and leather interior trim
  • Massaging front seats
  • Park assist (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • BlueCruise (Ford's semi-automated driving system that allows for hands-free driving on select highways and under certain conditions)

Many features found on the upper trim levels can be added to the lower trims through optional packages. Other significant options for the Expedition include:

  • Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow package
    • Upgraded radiator
    • Trailer backup assist
    • 3.73 rear-axle gearing
    • Trailer brake controller (allows adjustment of a trailer's brakes from the cab)
  • Stealth Performance Edition package
    • Upgraded 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine (440 hp, 510 lb-ft)
    • 22-inch black wheels
    • Dark exterior trim
    • Sport-tuned suspension
    • Power running boards
    • 22-speaker audio system

Which Expedition trim does Edmunds recommend?

With a panoramic sunroof, leather interior, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second row, tri-zone climate control, navigation, and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, the Limited has most everything we'd need on an Expedition. It also opens the door to the high-output version of the EcoBoost engine and a sport suspension with the Stealth Performance package, although that gets pricey and limits interior and exterior color choices.
