The Ford Expedition Arrives to Make Your Driving Life Easier

In 1997, the first Ford Expedition hit the market. It immediately became one of the most desired SUVs of the year. Part of it was due to anticipation since the Expedition took about three years to craft from original design to final product, and fans of the Ford brand eagerly waited to see what this new SUV would be like. But a large part of the enthusiasm came from the fact that the automotive market was missing an SUV like the Ford Expedition, so naturally, people came to check it out.

Its popularity continues to this very day. While there are more full-size SUVs now, the Ford Expedition still ranks above the rest. We have Ford SUVs for sale here at Kate Faupel Ford, and we have seen time and again that customers adore the Expedition. It increases the possibilities of their driving life, and they always tell us that going forward, they’ll only be Expedition drivers.

The 2024 Ford Expedition promises to be the best yet. It keeps what has worked in past model years while offering some tweaks that will entice new buyers if they haven’t already converted to loving the Expedition. We want to walk you through the 2024 Ford Expedition’s exciting elements, but we also want to touch on where this vehicle came from and view the Expedition’s story as a whole. It’s important to know how your next full-size SUV came to this point so you can truly appreciate every inch of it. Let’s dive in!

What Generation Are We On?

The 2024 Ford Expedition is part of the model’s fourth generation. What does this mean? While every model year has differences, a new generation usually signals some very large changes. What we and our customers like about the fact that the Expedition is in its fourth generation is that it now has years and years of history, all of which combine to make the current model. Since it’s been around for so long, you don’t have to worry about trial-and-error approaches to manufacturing this full-size SUV.

Each generation has upgrades to keep the Expedition on the cutting edge of technology, but the overall design has long been perfected. One of the benefits of buying a Ford vehicle is how much institutional knowledge there is. Since Ford has existed since the dawn of the automobile, there’s nothing it doesn’t know about making vehicles. You’ll be safe and secure inside one of its vehicles.

The 2024 Ford Expedition: Perfect for Kentucky Drivers

Kentucky is a wonderful state, marked by mountains, fields, forests, and cities. Residents of Kentucky know just how beautiful our natural world is here and how much fun it is to explore it. However, when it comes to choosing a vehicle, Kentucky’s topography can pose a challenge: since there’s a bit of everything here, you want a ride that can handle the road no matter the condition, from flat and curvy to rocky and elevated.

The 2024 Ford Expedition is, without a doubt, the vehicle that can handle all that and more. It has many trims, too, so you can buy one that matches where you expect to drive and what type of driving you enjoy. If you see yourself as someone who will do a lot of outbacking, then the Timberline trim, which has rough road suspension and Ford Trail Control, will be the ideal match. If you’re looking for maximum comfort, then the Platinum trim will provide leather Multi-Contour Seats with Active Motion Massage, heating, and ventilation. Suddenly, every trip you take will be a lot more fun and memorable.

The Expedition Overview: A Look at Greatness

The Expedition is a full-size SUV, but some of its performance numbers make it sound like it has the power of a pickup truck. That’s not far from the truth in many cases. This powerfully made SUV dominates the road thanks to a 3.5L EcoBoost engine. Every trim of the 2024 Expedition comes equipped with this powertrain because Ford wants every driver of this SUV to be able to feel the performance of a high-quality engine.

That said, the exact engine output will depend on the trim and package you select. The XL-STX and XLT trims generate 380 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, while the Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum trims produce 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. Finally, the Timberline and the Limited Stealth Performance Edition have a special High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost with 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. With this power, you can go from zero to 60 mph in about five seconds. That’s just incredible acceleration for an SUV.

If you’re thinking that you probably will not need that power, we suggest you reconsider. If you’re traveling around Kentucky or all around the United States, you’ll be using the highway system regularly. Traveling can become a nightmare if you’re constantly stuck on entrance ramps, worrying about when there’ll be a break in traffic so you can merge. The Expedition will end that concern and make your trips far less stressful.

The Expedition’s power also means you can enjoy some impressive towing capability. Depending on the trim and package, the 2024 Expedition can tow–wait for it–up to 9,300 lbs. If you’re saying to yourself, “Wow, that sounds like more than some pickup trucks can tow,” then you’re absolutely correct. With the power of the Expedition, you can bring along whatever you need when you’re venturing out and about. This works particularly well if you like to outback or camp. Not only can you take the comforts of home with you, but you can also extend your trips since you’ll have extra gear and supplies. The Expedition helps you on the road, but it helps you off the road, elevating all parts of your life.

Space and Comfort? You Bet

Shoppers sometimes worry about whether all three rows of a full-size SUV provide the same level of comfort. Luckily, we can wholeheartedly tell them yes. Ford makes certain that the back row isn’t just for kids. Adults can easily sit in the rear row and stay comfortable during a long trek. Plus, with an optional B&O Unleashed Sound System featuring 22 speakers, everyone can enjoy music and podcasts on long journeys. A ride in your SUV shouldn’t just be about the destination; the voyage should also be enjoyable. In your Expedition, that’ll be guaranteed.

An SUV should give you plenty of cargo space, not just passenger space. One of the main selling points of the original SUV was that it gave drivers the ability to travel with plenty of luggage, beating out the small trunks in sedans. If you fold your 2024 Expedition’s rear seats down, you’ll have access to 104.6 cu.ft. of room. Unsurprisingly, the larger Expedition Max gives you the most space, topping out at 121.5 cu.ft. Whether you’re going on vacation or helping someone move, your Expedition’s cargo area offers a lot of valuable cargo volume.

The 2024 Ford Expedition Is Waiting for You!

When a 2024 Ford Expedition rolls onto our lot, it doesn’t last long before someone buys it. Kentucky drivers know this full-size SUV is ideal for our great state. Do yourself a favor and come check it out for yourself. You don’t want to be left behind on the road; drive an Expedition and increase your comfort, space, and power.
