2024 vs. 2025 Expedition Trim Models
The redesigned 2025 Ford Expedition offers a streamlined new trim lineup: Active, Platinum, Tremor, and King Ranch. With its tech-savvy standard lineup, the base Active is far from basic. Moving up to the Platinum means incredible luxury, with upgrades like massaging front seats and a premium B&O sound system. The all-new Tremor is equipped with everything you need for off-road action. Then there’s the King Ranch, the redesigned Expedition’s most exclusive option. Like previous versions of the King Ranch, this one has Western-themed styling and premium leather seating, among other upgrades.
The 2024 Expedition offers six trims: the XL, XLT, Timberline, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum. The base XL, designed for fleet buyers, offers a long list of features at a great price. The middling XLT adds a third-row seat to the base XL, making it the better option for families. Adventurous drivers love the Timberline, which is equipped with trail-friendly performance gear. For luxury at a reasonable price, check out the Limited. The King Ranch and Platinum trims are the most luxurious options, featuring upgrades like leather seating and wood cabin trim.
New Expedition Features for 2025
The redesigned Expedition introduces a wide range of innovative features! With everything from clever new storage options to hands-free driving technology, these available items are designed to improve your family’s road trips:
- Ford Digital Experience: This all-new infotainment setup includes a 24-inch panoramic gauge display, 13.2-inch central touchscreen, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
- Ford Split Gate: Part liftgate and part tailgate, you can transform the Split Gate into stadium seating or a lunch buffet!
- Flex Powered Console: This front-row center console slides fore and aft almost 8 inches, creating extra space in the front or second row.
- Third-Row Flexible Seating: Fold down the center portion of this third-row bench to create a long center aisle and a place to store long cargo items, like surfboards.
- Digital Device Holder: Mounted to the back of the Expedition’s first-row seats, the Device Holder turns your iPad into a rear-seat entertainment system!
- BlueCruise: Ford’s hands-free driving technology is now available for every Expedition trim model! (The 2024 Expedition only offers BlueCruise on the luxurious Platinum trim.)
Powertrain Options: 2024 vs. 2025 Expedition
Technically, both model years utilize the same 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. However, the redesigned Expedition comes standard with more power than before! And since these Expeditions offer different trim models, some of which feature high-output versions of this V6, engine availability has also changed.
Both the 2024 and 2025 Expeditions come standard with the same twin-turbocharged V6 engine. It makes 400 horsepower in the redesigned Expedition and 380 horsepower in the 2024 Expedition. Their respective off-road-ready trim models — the 2024 Timberline and 2025 Tremor — feature an exclusive, high-output version of this engine that’s rated for 440 horses.
Compared to the 2024 Expedition’s base engine, the Platinum trim model gets its own high-output V6, generating 400 horses and 480 pound-feet of torque.
2024 & 2025 Ford Expedition Powertrain Options
- Twin-turbo 3.5L V6 (400 horsepower, 510 pound-feet of torque)
- Tremor/Timberline-exclusive high-output twin-turbo 3.5L V6 (440 hp, 510 lb-ft)
- 2024 Platinum-exclusive high-output twin-turbo 3.5L V6 (400 hp, 480 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
Comparing Costs: 2024 vs. 2025 Ford Expedition
The redesigned Ford Expedition is a little pricier, starting price at $62,000. Of course, it’s also the more handsomely equipped model! Not to mention the 2024 Ford Expedition’s base model, which starts at $55,630, is intended for fleet buyers. Compared to the more popular 2024 Ford Expedition XLT, which starts at $59,695 (and actually has three rows of seating), the price gap isn’t as steep!
