A full-size three-row SUV like the 2024 Ford Expedition is a fantastic option if you want to upgrade your family vehicle to an SUV that’s ready to explore the world and tackle every terrain. Let’s explore the fabulous features of the entry-level Expedition XL STX, which has a five-passenger seating capacity.

Four Impressive Features of the 2024 Ford Expedition

1. Powerful EcoBoost Powertrain

The baseline Expedition has a workhorse of a powertrain that consists of a 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. This powertrain provides a stunning 380 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This SUV has an incredible maximum towing capacity of 9,300 lbs, so you can tow a medium-sized boat, another vehicle, or a large trailer behind you. 

This eco-friendly engine has a fuel efficiency of 17 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway. The SUV has a fuel tank capacity of 23.2 gallons. On a full tank, this SUV can drive a maximum of 533 miles of highway driving before it needs a refill. The XL STX has a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. 

2. Spacious and Comfortable Interior

The two-row XL STX has a maximum cargo volume of 104.6 cubic feet behind the first-row seats. When the third-row seats are folded down, the SUV has a cargo volume of 57.5 cubic feet or 63.6 cubic feet with the second-row seats pulled forward. With the third-row seats in a full upright position, the cargo volume in the cargo area is 20.9 cubic feet. 

Overall, you can fit just about anything in this SUV, from large pet crates to full-size camping gear. The second-row seats have a 40/20/40 folding capability so you can fold one or all three seats to customize the cargo capacity of the SUV. Front-row dual-zone climate control and tri-zone climate control for the rest of the cabin are standard for this model, with dedicated climate controls for the second and third-row passengers. 

3. Flexible Entertainment

The base Expedition model has a robust infotainment system that is managed by the SYNC 4 system and a 12-inch center stack touchscreen. This infotainment system is compatible with USB-connected streaming, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a six-speaker audio system with an integrated speed-compensated volume setting to automatically adjust the stereo volume.

4. Advanced Safety 

You can confidently park your Expedition anywhere with standard rear parking sensors and an integrated rear view camera. The rear view camera gives you a close-up view of the back end of your SUV, even when you have a trailer hitched. If you get into an accident, the standard SOS Post-Crash Alert System can connect you to an emergency response team immediately.
