The Ford Expedition Vs. the Ford Explorer
If you are looking for a powerful and comfortable SUV with ample space and great capability, Ford has two excellent choices for you. The Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV with three rows and seven seats, and the Ford Expedition is a full-size SUV with three rows that seat eight. These SUVs provide ample space and power. At Shetler-Corley Ford, we have both capable SUVs at our dealership, and we are excited to let you explore them.
Size
The biggest difference between the Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition is size. The Ford Explorer can sit up to seven. The available captain's chairs provide added comfort and convenience, while the third-row bench seat can be easily folded down to expand the cargo area. With rear seats folded, it has a cargo capacity of 87.8 cubic feet behind the first row.
The Ford Expedition can seat up to eight. With all the rear seats folded, you can enjoy up to 104.6 cubic feet of cargo space. The power liftgate and the available advanced cargo manager with black roof-rail crossbars make loading and organizing your belongings fast and easy. Plus, with the power-folding third-row seats, you can easily expand the cargo area when needed.
Performance
The Ford Explorer has two different engines to choose from. The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine makes a sturdy 300 horsepower, while the available three-liter EcoBoost V6 engine makes a hefty 400 horsepower. Both engines enjoy the company of a 10-speed automatic transmission for optimal performance and efficiency. The Ford Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds, which is plenty of power for hitching a trailer to have an adventure outside of Scott.
If you want more power, the Ford Expedition comes through with a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbocharged EcoBoost engine. This engine makes up to 400 to 440 horsepower, depending on the trim level. Whether you opt for the rear-wheel drive or a ready-for-anything four-wheel drive system, you can expect strong handling and excellent traction in various driving conditions around Kaplan. The Ford Expedition can tow up to 9,600 pounds with the heavy-duty trailering package, proving that it has massive muscle for whatever excursion or task you have planned.
Technology and Safety
The Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition come equipped with the SYNC 4 infotainment system with enhanced voice recognition and a large touchscreen display. With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, you can seamlessly integrate your smartphone.
Both of the SUVS also come with Ford Co-Pilot, which is Ford's driver assist technology. Co-Pilot has standard and available features such as Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Lane-Keeping System, and Adaptive Cruise Control. This new technology helps to keep you safe as you drive around Rayne. These SUVs also have the available Ford BlueCruise. BlueCruise is a hands-free driver assistance feature that allows you to enjoy a new kind of driving experience. It can be used on 130,000 miles of divided highways dubbed Hands-Free Blue Zones. This includes 87 percent of controlled access highways. Hands-free driving allows you to relax a bit when you are behind the wheel away from home in Jennings.
