Posted at Fri, Jan 10, 2025 10:00 AM

The Ford Expedition MAX offers a range of trim levels, each designed to meet varying needs and preferences, from practicality to luxury. With its extended wheelbase, this SUV provides exceptional interior space, robust performance, and advanced technology, making it an excellent choice for families and adventurers. Whether seeking premium comfort or a budget-friendly option, the Expedition MAX trim levels cater to diverse lifestyles with impressive features and capabilities. 

Comparing Trim Levels: From Basic to Premium

The 2024 Ford Expedition MAX adds almost 12 inches of wheelbase to the standard Ford Expedition and is available in four trims: XLT, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum. Ford also offers the XL STX and Timberline, which are only available at the traditional length. Whether looking for a basic, family-friendly SUV to easily haul the kids to and from their extracurriculars or a premium luxury experience to make the next summer road trip the ultimate comfort, the Expedition has a trim level for you. Below are the top features of each trim level of the 2024 Ford Expedition.

Ford Expedition XL STX: The Entry-Level Choice

The XL STX features a turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission for 380 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. The XL STX can haul up to 9,300 pounds, letting you bring your camper, boat, or ATV on your weekend adventures. Standard features of this five-passenger SUV include LED headlights, a Trailer Tow package, and 18-inch wheels. You also get dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry with a push-button start, a power-adjustable driver's seat, a six-speaker sound system, and a 12-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

Although the XL STX is unavailable in the MAX length, these standard features form the basis of all the MAX models.

Ford Expedition XLT MAX: Balancing Comfort and Value

The XLT MAX includes all of the XL STX's features but upgrades you with tri-zone automatic climate control and a power-folding third-row seat. Adding a third row means that your Expedition can carry up to eight passengers and their gear, making it an excellent option for your growing family.

Ford Expedition Timberline: Ready for Adventure

The Timberline isn't available in the MAX length, but with its many off-road-ready features, it's worth mentioning if you're after adventure. Standard features include an upgraded V-6 engine that garners 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, all-terrain tires, an off-road-tuned suspension, a heavy-duty radiator, low-range gearing on the four-wheel-drive versions, a special exterior trim, and black 18-inch wheels. Inside, you'll discover unique interior upholstery, power-adjustable pedals and steering column, power-adjustable front passenger seat, driver's seat memory functions, and wireless phone charging.

Ford Expedition Limited MAX: Where Luxury Begins

Moving up to the Limited MAX adds a panoramic sunroof, power liftgate, and 20-inch wheels. Other features include leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front-row seats, heated and power-folding second-row seats, and second-row captain's chairs. Switching out the bench seat for the captain's chairs increases comfort but decreases the seating to seven passengers. You also get an integrated navigation system and a 12-speaker premium Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Ford Expedition King Ranch MAX: Embodying Rugged Luxury

If you opt for the Expedition King Ranch MAX, you can enjoy the power-deployable running boards, two-tone exterior paint, and 22-inch wheels. The cabin features power-folding second-row captain's chairs, a complete digital panel for driver's information, a 15.5-inch infotainment touch screen, and a 22-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Ford Expedition Platinum MAX: Peak of Extravagance

The top-of-the-line Platinum MAX features special styling details with a few upgrades, including a V-6 engine that delivers 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque and adaptive suspension to enhance handling stability and road comfort. Interior upgrades include massaging front seats plus a wood and leather interior trim with upgraded leather upholstery.
