Navigating your way through the seemingly overcrowded SUV market to find that perfect vehicle for you and your family can be an overwhelming experience. You’ve probably decided that you need a vehicle with power, reliability, and, of course, extensive cargo space, and the idea of traveling in a minivan doesn’t seem like an appealing option. This is often the case for families trying to avoid the dreaded minivan, searching for a viable alternative. The good news is SUVs are a fantastic option to consider when hunting for a spacious new ride. But with so many different models on the market, which one offers the features a family would want in a sport utility vehicle? Cargo space is an easy feature to distinguish, but what about other qualities like performance and reliability? What comfort and safety features are available? One model perfectly designed for families or those simply wanting an SUV that balances volume, power, and capability is the 2022 Ford Expedition.
The 2022 Ford Expedition is a three-row full-size SUV that seats up to 8 passengers, offering the kind of ideal room needed for a large family or driver requiring a considerable amount of passenger capability and cargo volume. The Expedition offers an impressive 20.9 cu.ft. behind the third row, however, when the seats start going down, we are shown how truly spacious it is. Lowering the third row will increase the cargo volume to 63.6 cu.ft. of space, while putting down the second row will create a whopping 104.6 cu.ft. of cargo room. The Expedition is truly an SUV that can accommodate any size family or needed capacity. While the Expedition dominates over its full-size SUV peers in sheer interior space, it is its other features that make it stand out among its competition.

The Expedition matches its unparalleled capacity with equally extraordinary performance. It offers two engine options, both highly capable of handling the daily challenges it encounters, whether it be towing a camper while on a family vacation to the wilderness or bringing home that couch from the furniture store. The Expedition meets these tasks head-on with exceptional strength.
The 2022 Ford Expedition comes standard with a 3.5L EcoBoost Turbo V6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This engine configuration generates a vigorous output of 380 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, giving it enormous capability for drivers who demand the kind of strength an SUV this size requires. Its remarkable towing capacity allows it to tow up to 9,300 lbs. But Ford didn’t just stop at the engine to create this impressive power; they designed the vehicle’s body to enhance its efficiency. Its aerodynamic shape is coupled with active grille shutters that help with managing the airflow that moves past the underbody when traveling at high speeds, making it aerodynamic and maximizing its performance.
For those looking for even more power, the Expedition offers the 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost Turbo V6, a best-in-class engine that delivers unmatched strength that no SUV in its class can rival. This high-output engine produces a monstrous 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to be the strongest full-size SUV on the market. Those looking for this level of strength can find this engine option with the available Stealth Performance Package.
It may be assumed that with all this size and power the Expedition wields, fuel economy would suffer the most; however, this is hardly the case. The 2022 Ford Expedition offers quite impressive fuel economy for its size, as well as design features that help maximize its efficiency. In addition to the aforementioned aerodynamic design for decreased wind resistance, the Expedition’s 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission helps reduce fuel consumption and increase performance due to its gears being spaced out.
Both the 3.5L EcoBoost and its high-output counterpart can get around 17 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway with rear-wheel drive. When opting for four-wheel drive, the Expedition will get about 16 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway. These are superb numbers when taking into account its vehicle class. Not only can the Expedition provide amazing power but do so in a way that minimizes those trips to the pump.
Power and space are crucial elements when considering a full-size SUV, but if you can’t truly enjoy the driving experience itself, then those other features are less meaningful. The Expedition has addressed these concerns with a variety of comfort features that will make you, your family, and other passengers relaxed and entertained on those lengthy excursions.
Today, a vehicle’s compatibility with smartphones and other wireless devices is more than just a luxury; it’s a feature that should be standard on most models. Ford knows this and has provided the Expedition with innovative tech that allows it to stand out from the more basic features offered by its rivals. It begins with what can only be described as a truly massive touchscreen located in the center console. Measuring 15.5 inches, this tablet-like screen acts as the central hub for all communication and entertainment technology located in the vehicle.
It is equipped with SYNC 4, allowing for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to connect your phone so you can listen to your personalized playlists, as well as voice recognition software, so you can answer your phone or get directions using your navigation without taking your hands off the wheel. It also has the ability to multitask with a split screen feature, such as allowing the driver to focus on navigation while the passengers listen to a podcast. The Expedition matches its innovative tech with versatility, allowing everyone in the car to be entertained during the ride.
In addition to offering tech to keep everyone entertained on that long trip, the Expedition also has an array of features designed to maximize comfort, whether you’re in the driver’s seat or sitting in one of the back rows. Depending on which trim you purchase, the Expedition offers available heated and ventilated seats for the front row, as well as a standard 10-way Power Driver’s seat with memory settings, lumbar support, and power recline. But your back seat guests aren’t forgotten about either—optional heated seats for the second row are also an available option.
Everyone in the car has control over the temperature with standard second and third-row auxiliary climate controls. You can protect everyone in the vehicle from dust, pollen, and other air debris with the standard cabin particulate air filter, ensuring that the air is clean. Scattered throughout the cabin is an abundance of smaller convenience features to make the ride more enjoyable for everyone on board, like 15 beverage holders, numerous AC outlets and USB ports, available ambient lighting, and a cargo management system to organize your belongings rather than stuffing them in the back and hoping they fit.
Buying a larger-sized vehicle typically comes with more passengers and an increased responsibility to keep them safe, and the Expedition is equipped with a multitude of safety features to ensure you get to your destination safely. Ford’s Co-Pilot360 technology is a suite of safety technology designed to alert you of potential dangers and, in some cases, intervene before an accident happens.
Pre-Collision Assist with AEB scans the road in front of you for possible obstructions like vehicles or pedestrians. If a potential collision is imminent, the system will alert the driver. If action is not taken quickly enough, the system will apply the brakes automatically, stopping a possible accident. Lane-Centering Assist acts in a similar manner, analyzing your vehicle’s position between the lines on the road, and if it senses you drifting outside of your lane, it will alert you. The Evasive Steering Assist feature is another accident mitigation tool that helps provide extra steering assistance should a vehicle or person suddenly appear in front of the vehicle.
Parking and backing up are definitely more challenging when driving an SUV like the Expedition. But this doesn’t mean you should be filled with anxiety at the thought of finding a parking spot on a busy city street. In fact, that is quite the opposite. Active Park Assist 2.0 is an automated parking system that helps you to park in any seemingly-difficult parking space. With the press of a button, the Expedition will park the vehicle for you. Of course, the driver will need to be fully alert when the feature is being used; however, this eases the often frustrating task of carefully parking your vehicle in a tight spot.
Driving in reverse can also present its own set of problems with an SUV this size. The Expedition’s Reverse Brake Assist provides extra surveillance when backing up, with a system that is able to identify potential interferences like vehicles or pedestrians with a message display in the center console alerting you of the direction it’s coming from.
The 2022 Ford Expedition has everything a driver could want in a full-size SUV—ample space for their passengers and cargo, power that can handle any intense towing challenges, and an array of comfort, entertainment, and safety technology to keep all inside relaxed, occupied, and safe. The Expedition has it all, whether you’re carrying family, friends, or cargo. For those considering a step up to a larger size vehicle, look no further than this exceptional SUV.
