First introduced in 1997, the Ford Expedition has been a worthy successor to the classic Ford Bronco, and many would argue has surpassed the legacy of its predecessor. In 2018, the fourth generation of the Expedition began, and it has only gotten better with each passing year. The 2020 Ford Expedition is a full-size SUV that offers tremendous options for anyone looking for a large and powerful vehicle. There are eight different trim levels available, including the MAX trims, and that means there is something for pretty much everyone.
From the outside, the 2020 Expedition is gorgeous, offering impressive and impactful styling you cannot help but notice. The standard suite of safety features on the Expedition is really something to be excited about, including pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, a blind spot information system, and a lane keeping system. Of course, some additional safety features are available as options, but the standard features are enough to put many other manufacturers to shame. The 2020 Ford Expedition also happens to be one of the most powerful SUVs on the road, offering up to 400 hp and maximum towing of up to 9,300 lbs, so you can take this beauty anywhere and have everything you need with you.
Interior features are also praiseworthy throughout the cabin, including great tech options and a B&O Sound System that has to be heard to be believed. The 2020 Ford Expedition offers some of the best legroom for any full-size SUV, so everyone inside the vehicle stays safe and comfortable. Whether you are looking for an SUV for family trips and getting across town or something to haul a trailer or camper behind you for a week (or more) away from the city, the 2020 Expedition has what you need. Come visit us at Kings Ford today to learn more about the Expedition and what it can do for you.

Power might not be the be-all, end-all spec for an SUV like it often is for a sports car or heavy-duty pickup, but you should still care about it. After all, the power and performance of the engine in any vehicle will dictate much of the driving experience. A more powerful engine, especially in a full-size SUV, makes for a more enjoyable time behind the wheel – and also impacts how much weight you can haul behind you.
There is one engine available for the 2020 Ford Expedition, but one trim does feature a more powerful version of it, so keep that in mind. The majority of Expedition models feature a 3.5L EcoBoost engine that offers up to 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque for impressive overall performance and a great time behind the wheel.
This engine delivers an estimated 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway, for a combined fuel economy of 20 mpg. Both engines come with a 10-speed automatic transmission, which enhances the overall driving experience and makes for a smooth ride. When paired with the available Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package on the 2020 Ford Expedition, you can get up to 9,300 lbs of maximum towing capacity. That makes this a great option for hauling a boat, loading up a trailer or camper, or doing some serious tailgating on the weekend.
The inside of the 2020 Ford Expedition is a model of spacious luxury and high-tech features that combine to create an amazing overall experience. It does not matter if you are behind the wheel or a passenger; the inside of the Expedition is a thing of pure joy. Some of these features will depend on which trim level you choose, however, so keep that in mind. In most cases, if a tech or comfort feature is not standard on a lower trim, then it is still available as an option.
The highest trim level, the Platinum, for example, features tri-zone automatic temperature controls, a memory feature for the driver, and push-button start. It also has an 8-inch center display for the infotainment system and a pair of 4-inch displays on either side of the central speedometer in the dash for the driver. Ambient lighting comes standard in the 2020 Ford Expedition Platinum, though it is available on lower trims, and it features a leather-wrapped, heated, power tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio controls.
The entertainment system in the 2020 Ford Expedition Platinum is also a thing of beauty featuring a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system that creates a dynamic and truly stunning audio experience. A wireless charging area is included and available on lower trims, along with a pair of USB ports at the front, middle, and third rows, so there are plenty of charging options for everyone in the vehicle. The front row features perforated, leather-trimmed, heated, and ventilated seats for optimal comfort, with heated seats throughout for your passengers.
Even with a full-size SUV, you can find many models that have great room for cargo, but not a lot of space for your passengers. The 2020 Ford Expedition offers not only terrific interior cargo capacity but some of the best legroom of any model on the road. Third-row power reclining seats are standard, so everyone can stay comfortable, and there is plenty of room inside for up to 8 people.
Cargo space varies somewhat depending on if you choose a standard model or a MAX version, but in either case, you get a lot of room. The Standard models offer 104.6 cu.ft. of cargo volume behind the front row, up to 63.6 cu.ft. of space behind the second row, and up to 20.9 cu.ft. of space behind the third. With a MAX trim, however, you get 121.5 cu.ft. of cargo volume behind the front row, up to 79.6 cu.ft. of space behind the second row, and up to 36 cu.ft. of space behind the third row. As you can see, the MAX option is definitely the way to go if the interior cargo room is a major concern.
When it comes to passenger space, the trim you choose really does not matter, so no matter which features you prioritize, you and your passengers will be comfortable. There is 42 inches of headroom in the front row and up to 43.9 inches of legroom up front. For second-row passengers, they get 40 inches of headroom and up to 42.6 inches of space for their legs. Third-row passengers still get more than 37 inches of headroom and almost 41 inches of legroom with the second-row seats pushed forward.
Safety truly is the most important feature of any vehicle – nothing matters more than making sure you and your loved ones are safe on the road. The 2020 Ford Expedition offers one of the most impressive suites of standard safety features at all trim levels that we have ever seen. Many of these are only included at the highest trims with SUVs from other manufacturers, while Ford makes your safety its clear priority.
Standard safety features include dual-stage front airbags, a safety canopy system that includes the third row, and side impact airbags throughout. There is also a tire pressure monitoring system along with a rearview camera that includes backup assist grid lines. These are good features, but the standard active safety features are where the Expedition really shows off.
All models of the 2020 Ford Expedition come with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of safety features, which includes auto high-beam headlamps, a reverse sensing system, and pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking. They also come with a blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert and a lane-keeping system. While some additional features are available, including adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and a pro trailer backup assist feature, the standard features are still exceptional.
