2014 Ford Expedition: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The 2014 Ford Expedition is a light-update year, led by a switch from an air-based rear load-leveling suspension to a mechanical design. Otherwise, it largely carries over from 2013.
About the 2014 Ford Expedition
3rd generation (2007-2017), final pre-refresh year and last model year before the broader 2015 update.
Ford positioned the Expedition as its biggest family SUV: a full-size, truck-based vehicle for shoppers who needed real third-row room, strong towing ability, and cargo space that could handle big trips. A key selling point was the independent rear suspension, which helped ride comfort and let the third row fold flat into the floor. The longer Expedition EL stretched that formula for buyers who needed even more cargo room.
The XLT is the mainstream family trim, while the fleet-only XL has simpler cloth seating and work-focused equipment. Limited adds heated and cooled front seats, a rearview camera, and towing hardware; King Ranch tops the range with Chaparral leather, wood trim, navigation, and power-deployable running boards.
