2023 Ford Expedition vs 2023 Ford Expedition Max
Serving Fort Mill, SC
The Expedition was the largest SUV in the Ford line for many years. Now, however, the Ford Expedition Max has that honor. The Expedition and Expedition Max are comparable in most ways, but the Expedition Max is a longer vehicle with greater cargo space in the back of the cabin. There is also a difference in trim availability. The Expedition is available in the base XL STX trim as well as the XLT, Timberline, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum. The Expedition Max is available in the XLT MAX, Limited MAX, King Ranch MAX, and Platinum MAX trims.
Performance
The performance capabilities of these vehicles are comparable. The lower trims draw 375 horsepower from a V6 turbo 3.5-liter engine. In addition to a 10-speed automatic transmission, the XL offers both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive. The Platinum trim is available with a 400-horsepower V6 gas engine and an adaptive suspension system. With the optional Stealth Performance package and Timberline trim, a twin-turbo V6 engine will deliver 440 horsepower. Some Expedition and Expedition Max trims may also be outfitted with low-range gearing, all-terrain tires, an off-road suspension, a heavy-duty radiator, an electronic limited-slip differential, and others performance-boosting mechanical features.
Appearance
The primary difference between the Expedition and Expedition Max SUVs is in their size, so the Expedition Max is visually longer than the Expedition. Both vehicles have a dominant presence on the road with broad, well-defined surfaces. Both the hood and side doors are sculpted and show off crisp definition. The front end displays rectangular headlights that are capped and underlined by LED bars. These fully connect to the grille, which has a wide stance and is dressed with horizontal accents. Both vehicles are available with exterior gear like foglights, a trailer tow package, a hands-free liftgate, a panoramic sunroof, powered running boards, up to 22-inch wheels, and other gear.
Features
While the specific technologies and features offered for the 2023 and 2023 Expedition Max vary by trim, the comparable trims have the same equipment. Features available include a Bang & Olufsen sound system with 22 speakers, a digital instrumentation panel, a 15.5-inch infotainment system screen, a surround-view camera, park assist, leather upholstery, massaging front seats, heated seats, active noise cancellation, BlueCruise semi-automated driving and more.
