Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Ford's Co-Pilot360 Assist—a bundle of advanced driver-assistance features—is now available as an option on the XLT model for 2021. And the Expedition receives new wheel designs on all of its trims. The lineup also introduces a two-row-only XL STX base model that starts at $51,690. Based on spy photos, we expect the 2022 Expedition to undergo a mid-cycle refresh that brings a giant, vertical touchscreen infotainment system (likely a 15.5-inch display inherited from the Ford Mustang Mach-E EV) as well as a more rugged trim level, possibly called Timberline.

Pros
Spacious cabin,
turbo V-6 makes plenty of power,
stout towing capacity.

Cons
Plasticky interior trimmings,
feels exactly as large as it is from behind the wheel,
expensive upper trims.

New XL base trim, available only with a five-seat configuration and in non-Max form.Co-Pilot360 Assist suite of safety features now optional on XLT trim.

Pros
Cavernous interior with plenty of passenger and cargo space
Quick acceleration from strong V6 engine
Comfortable front seats
Tows more than similarly sized SUVs

Cons
Disappointing real-world fuel economy
Large size and slow steering make it cumbersome to drive

The 2021 Ford Expedition's #1 ranking is based on its score within the Large SUVs category. Currently the Ford Expedition has a score of 8.5 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 23 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Brawny engine
Great towing capacity and gas mileage for class
Straightforward infotainment controls
Spacious cabin

Cons
Stiff ride with 22-inch wheels
Some hard plastics in cabin

By: 
usnews.com

Pros
Tremendously powerful six-cylinder engine
Grip and handling are excellent
Sleeker styling than the related X3 M

Cons
Excessively stiff ride
Rear headroom is a bit tight
Sloping roofline compromises cargo space and visibility

By: 
edmunds.com

Like the regular X4, the high-performance X4 M receives some subtle styling upgrades for 2022. Larger grille openings, narrower headlamps, and reworked front and rear bumpers distinguish the refreshed X4 M from last year's model. The infotainment display has grown from 10.3 to 12.3 inches. More meaningful to us driving enthusiasts is a rework of the SUV's engine to produce more torque; horsepower remains the same across both X4 M models.

Pros
Rip-snorting engine,
bonkers acceleration,
handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

Cons
Hard-edged ride,
lacks the practicality of the mechanically-similar X3 M,
coupe-like styling may not be for everyone.
