The 2021 Expedition is available to customers in five trim levels: XL, XLT, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum. Performance and features may vary by model, but every 2021 Expedition has in-vehicle Wi-Fi for up to 10 devices and a Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of driver assists that includes forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assistance, automatic high beams, and a rearview camera with grid lines and a washer. Features like leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, massaging seats, and heated/ventilated front seats come with some of the Expedition’s higher trim levels.
The 2021 Expedition is motivated by a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost® V6 that earns 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque on most models in the range. The top-level Expedition Platinum is tuned for up to 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. In either case those are great figures, even for a full-size SUV. Even the V8-powered Chevy Suburban can’t compete on these terms.
