2022 Ford Expedition: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Ford Expedition gets a meaningful mid-cycle refresh, not a full redesign. The headline change is a broad update that combines revised styling and a standard 12-inch touchscreen with the new off-road-focused Timberline trim.
About the 2022 Ford Expedition
4th generation (2018-2024), mid-cycle refresh year
Ford positions the Expedition as its full-size family SUV for long road trips, towing, and big-group travel. The core appeal is simple: lots of space, strong turbo V6 power, and real body-on-frame capability for buyers who need to haul people, gear, or a trailer without stepping into a luxury brand. For 2022, Ford also broadened the model’s personality, adding more upscale trims and a serious off-road version while keeping Expedition’s main job as a roomy, capable family travel vehicle.
The XLT remains the family-focused core of the lineup, while Limited adds more comfort and standard convenience features. King Ranch brings Western-inspired leather and real wood trim, and Platinum emphasizes luxury with a 15.5-inch touchscreen, adaptive suspension, and high-end audio. The new Timberline takes a different path with 440 horsepower, standard four-wheel drive, underbody protection, and 10.6 inches of ground clearance.

4.3
2022 Ford Expedition
(116 reviews)
“It is noisier and uses more gas than our previous vehicle—especially when towing with the same engine.”
“Wonderful vehicle for a large family with young children, except the front seats are fairly uncomfortable. Specifically the front head restraint is tilted too far forward and non-adjustable.”
