Power & Performance

Whether you’re pulling a trailer through the mountains or heading out with the whole family, performance matters. The 2025 Ford Expedition delivers a strong balance of power and precision, with available control features like selectable drive modes, an independent rear suspension, and available 4WD. Its standard engine outpaces the Suburban’s base-level V8 in responsiveness and fuel efficiency. While the Suburban does offer a higher max towing capacity, that advantage is limited to its top-tier trims with upgraded equipment.
