2015 Ford Expedition: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Ford Expedition gets a major mid-cycle refresh led by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that replaces the old 5.4-liter V8 throughout the lineup. It also gains revised styling, a redesigned dashboard, more standard driver aids, and a new Platinum trim.
About the 2015 Ford Expedition
3rd generation (2007-2017), mid-cycle refresh and first year of the major 2015 update.
Ford positions the Expedition as its biggest family SUV for shoppers who need real towing strength, three-row space, and full-size cargo room that crossover SUVs cannot match. The messaging centers on room for up to eight, strong trailer capability, long-trip comfort, and useful technology. The extended Expedition EL especially stands out for shoppers who need Suburban-size cargo room, while the turbo V6 update gives the model a stronger mix of power and efficiency than the old V8 setup.
The XL is the straightforward choice for size and towing, while the XLT adds useful family features such as flexible second- and third-row seating. Limited brings an 8-inch touchscreen and heated and cooled front seats, King Ranch adds distinctive Mesa Brown leather, and the new Platinum tops the range with upscale leather, navigation, a moonroof, and blind-spot monitoring.

A rearview camera and rear parking sensors became standard throughout the 2015 lineup. King Ranch also gained standard blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, and the new Platinum trim included that system as standard equipment.

“Info displays on left side of panel need to be much brighter. Bliss system needs to function before a car is in blind spot!!!!!”
“Amazed at how quiet the Expedition King Ranch EL is on the road. Less road noise, great audio system. Comfortable seats. Our daughter who is disabled is more comfortable and sits better in these seats than in any other vehicle we have had.”
