2020 Ford Expedition Max

With the 2020 Ford Expedition Max comes four trims: the XLT Max, the Limited Max, the King Ranch Max, and the Platinum Max. Standard exterior features include 18-inch aluminum wheels, a manual liftgate, halogen fog lamps, and daytime running lights. The Limited trim adds many features, such as 20-inch aluminum wheels, a hands-free foot-activated liftgate, rain-sensing front wipers, LED taillights, a Class IV trailer hitch receiver, power-folding and heated mirrors with turn-signal indicators, and an auto-dimming driver's mirror. With the King Ranch trim comes 22-inch aluminum wheels, LED headlights, LED fog lights, and a panoramic vista roof, while the Platinum trim adds a satin aluminum exterior trim and roof-rail crossbars.

The Expedition Max boasts a powerful 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine that produces 375 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels but you can also opt for all-wheel drive. With the Platinum trim comes a more powerful version of the same engine, which generates 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque.

When equipped with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow package, the Expedition Max can tow up to 9,300 pounds. Standard features like trailer sway control and a blind-spot information system with class-exclusive trailer coverage will help keep you safe on the road while towing. To assist you when backing up with a trailer, opt for the available Pro Trailer Backup Assist system. Those who are into off-roading, can invest in the available FX4 off-road package, which offers a heavy-duty radiator, underbody fuel tank protection, skid plates, 18-inch aluminum wheels, all-terrain tires, and a 360-degree camera.

The interior of the Expedition Max is spacious and can seat up to eight people. The standard second-row bench seat can be replaced with captain's chairs. The cargo area provides 36 cubic feet of space, which you can extend to 121.5 cubic feet by folding the second and third rows flat. To assist you with your cargo management, the Expedition Max offers a standard cargo management system, cargo protector, and cargo net.
