The upcoming 2023 Ford Expedition is set to hold the line: delivering outstanding performance, three rows of luxurious comfort, and a laundry list of innovative tech features. Although Ford hasn’t announced any details about its new full-size SUV, we have some ideas about what you can expect.
What’s new for the 2023 Ford Expedition?
After the many upgrades Ford gave the 2022 Expedition, we don’t expect to see many big changes in this upcoming model. The new Expedition will likely deliver the same rugged performance, off-road potential, and towing capacity (9,200 pounds max) as before. And you can also expect big things from the interior, including supportive seating for up to eight passengers, optional luxury features, and cutting-edge infotainment gear.
And shoppers will also be able to choose from all of the new features introduced last year. These include the new off-road-ready Timberline trim model, the BlueCruise hands-free driving system, and SYNC 4 infotainment, with its new and improved touchscreen.
Which powertrains will be available for the 2023 Ford Expedition?
We don’t expect the 2023 Expedition powertrain options to differ from the current lineup. Most trim models will feature the same turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (375 horsepower, 470 lb-ft of torque) that they used last year. And we believe that the upcoming Platinum models will still feature a high-output version of the same engine, taking performance to the next level with 440 horses and 510 lb-ft of torque.
The Expedition’s 10-speed automatic transmission will send power to the rear wheels, adding to this big SUV’s dynamic performance. And, as always, four-wheel drive will be optional for all trim levels. Add it to your Expedition to enhance your off-road performance.
Will the 2023 Expedition have BlueCruise? What about Sync 4?
Just like the 2022 Ford Expedition, we expect the upcoming SUV to offer Ford’s hands-free Blue Cruise driving system. Currently, this technology is only available when you select the top-tier Platinum trim model. Here’s to hoping it will be more widely available on next year’s Expedition!
The Sync 4 infotainment system will also return for the 2023 model year. Once again, shoppers should be able to enjoy the system’s fast-acting 12-inch touchscreen. And wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity make your favorite smartphone apps more accessible than ever. Since the latest software is now available via the internet, you no longer have to return to the dealership to get the latest updates.
When will the 2023 Ford Expedition be available?
Without an announcement from Ford, we can’t be certain when exactly the upcoming Expeditions will arrive. However, we expect them out later this year, in summer or fall of 2022. If you’re looking forward to these new SUVs as much as we are, give us a call and we’ll get back to you as soon as we know more!
