“The Ford Expedition Max, has the space and durability that my family needed. We are a very active family and are always on the go. The expedition allows us to bring all along whatever equipment is needed and still have plenty of room for passengers and a grocery stop when needed. I would definitely recommend it for other on-the-go families.”
2023 Ford Expedition: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Ford Expedition is mostly a carryover from the refreshed 2022 model. The main change is standard Trail 1-Pedal Drive for the off-road-focused Timberline trim.
About the 2023 Ford Expedition
4th generation Expedition (2018-2024); 2023 is the second model year after the major 2022 refresh.
Ford positions the Expedition as its full-size family SUV for road trips, towing, and hauling a lot of people and gear. Its main appeal is truck-based strength with a roomy three-row cabin, strong towing ability, and a choice between the regular body and the longer Expedition Max for more cargo space. In this class, the Expedition stands out for its towing capability, adult-friendly passenger room, and wide spread of personalities from basic XL to luxury-focused King Ranch and Platinum and the trail-ready Timberline.
The 2023 Expedition ranges from the utility-focused XL and family-oriented XLT to the more comfortable Limited and western-themed King Ranch. Timberline pairs a high-output twin-turbo V6 with four-wheel drive, raised suspension, skid plates, and trail-driving aids. Platinum emphasizes luxury and technology with BlueCruise hands-free highway driving, massaging front seats, and a 15.5-inch touchscreen.

2023 Ford Expedition
(115 reviews)
“Love the cup holders although lost one in the middle of the back seat. Controls are a nightmare; the touch screen is distracting and dangerous.”
“Comfortable, reliable, smooth, safe ride. Extra safety features are nice. Back seats do not lay flat when 3rd row is down unfortunately. Cargo space is smaller than older versions.”
