Ford Expedition MAX: Trim Levels and Entertainment

The Ford Expedition MAX offers a range of trim levels designed to fit different needs and preferences, from practical family use to more upscale luxury. With its extended wheelbase, this SUV delivers exceptional interior space, strong performance, and advanced technology, making it a strong choice for families and adventure-minded drivers. Whether you want premium comfort or a more budget-friendly setup, the Expedition MAX trim lineup offers something for a wide range of lifestyles.

Comparing Trim Levels: From Basic to Premium

The Ford Expedition MAX adds almost 12 inches of wheelbase compared with the standard Expedition and is available in four trims: XLT, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum. Ford also offers the XL STX and Timberline, though those are only available in the standard-length Expedition. Whether you want a family-friendly SUV for everyday errands and activities or a premium road-trip experience with more comfort, there is an Expedition trim designed to fit.

Ford Expedition XL STX: The Entry-Level Choice

The XL STX features a turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, producing 380 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. It can tow up to 9,300 pounds, giving you the ability to bring a camper, boat, or ATV along for weekend plans.

Standard equipment on this five-passenger SUV includes LED headlights, a Trailer Tow Package, and 18-inch wheels. You also get dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry with push-button start, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a six-speaker sound system, and a 12-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Although the XL STX is not available in MAX length, its features help form the foundation for the rest of the Expedition lineup.

Ford Expedition XLT MAX: Balancing Comfort and Value

The XLT MAX builds on the XL STX by adding tri-zone automatic climate control and a power-folding third-row seat. With the third row in place, the Expedition MAX can carry up to eight passengers and their gear, making it a strong option for larger families.

Ford Expedition Timberline: Ready for Adventure

The Timberline is not offered in Expedition MAX length, but it is still worth mentioning if off-road capability matters to you. Standard features include an upgraded V-6 engine with 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, all-terrain tires, off-road-tuned suspension, a heavy-duty radiator, low-range gearing on four-wheel-drive versions, special exterior trim, and black 18-inch wheels.

Inside, the Timberline adds unique upholstery, power-adjustable pedals and steering column, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, driver memory settings, and wireless phone charging.

Ford Expedition Limited MAX: Where Luxury Begins

Moving up to the Limited MAX adds a panoramic sunroof, power liftgate, and 20-inch wheels. Other upgrades include leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated and power-folding second-row seats, and second-row captain’s chairs.

Switching from a bench seat to captain’s chairs increases comfort but reduces seating capacity from eight passengers to seven. You also get an integrated navigation system and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Ford Expedition King Ranch MAX: Embodying Rugged Luxury

If you choose the Expedition King Ranch MAX, you get power-deployable running boards, two-tone exterior paint, and 22-inch wheels. Inside, the cabin adds power-folding second-row captain’s chairs, a fully digital driver information display, a 15.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a 22-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Ford Expedition Platinum MAX: Peak of Extravagance

The top-of-the-line Platinum MAX adds unique styling details and several premium upgrades, including a V-6 engine producing 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, plus adaptive suspension for added ride comfort and handling stability. Interior upgrades include massaging front seats, upgraded leather upholstery, and wood-and-leather cabin trim.

The Ford Expedition MAX Infotainment and Technology

The Ford Expedition MAX includes a strong lineup of infotainment and technology features designed to improve every drive. Its SYNC 4 system, shown on either a 12-inch or available 15.5-inch touchscreen, supports seamless smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Navigation, voice recognition, and a Wi-Fi hotspot help keep you connected on the go.

Available features such as a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, and rear-seat entertainment screens add even more convenience. With an available Bang & Olufsen sound system delivering premium audio, the Expedition MAX combines entertainment and functionality in a way that works well for families and adventure-focused drivers alike.

Co-Pilot360 Technology: Ensuring Security on the Road

Each 2024 Ford Expedition MAX trim includes Ford Co-Pilot360, a group of driver-assistance technologies designed to help keep you and your passengers safer on the road. Standard features include:

• Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert
• Lane-keep assist
• Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking
• Rear parking sensors
• Rearview camera

The Expedition MAX also includes an advanced airbag system with dual-stage front airbags, front-seat side-impact airbags, and a Safety Canopy system that extends to the third row. Higher trims add the following driver aids:

• Adaptive cruise control
• A surround-view camera system
• Park Assist

BlueCruise, Ford’s hands-free highway driving system, is also available on the Platinum MAX. Under certain conditions, it can allow hands-free driving on select highways in the U.S. and Canada. That gives you added confidence knowing Ford has built in a broad range of safety and driver-support technology.
