The Ford Expedition is engineered with strong towing capability, thanks to its robust 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine that’s standard across most trims. When properly equipped with the available Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package and four-wheel drive, it can tow up to 9,600 pounds, plenty for boats, campers, and large utility trailers. Even without 4×4 or the tow package, base models can still tow around 6,000 pounds, offering versatile utility for family travel and work projects.

The Expedition comes standard with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine that delivers smooth, capable performance for daily driving and heavy towing alike. Higher trims and off-road focused models benefit from a high-output version of this EcoBoost V6, which increases both horsepower and torque for more demanding driving conditions. This twin-turbocharged engine setup balances power and efficiency, helping the Expedition remain competitive among full-size SUVs.

The Expedition provides substantial cargo space to support both everyday hauling and larger cargo loads. Behind the third row, there is a comfortable amount of storage for luggage or gear, and folding the second and third rows significantly expands usable cargo room for camping equipment, furniture, or sporting goods. The longer Expedition MAX versions deliver even more volume for serious payload needs, making them perfect for extended travel or moving.

The primary difference between the standard Expedition and the Expedition MAX is size and cargo capacity. The MAX version features a longer wheelbase and extended rear area that significantly increases cargo volume behind the third row, making it ideal for hauling larger loads or gear on family trips. Both versions can seat up to eight people, but MAX models are preferred by drivers who prioritize storage space without sacrificing passenger comfort.
