About this generation

The fourth-generation Expedition adopted an aluminum-alloy body, a 10-speed automatic, and Timberline off-road trims.

Unveiled for 2018, the fourth-generation Expedition (U553) incorporated a high-strength aluminum-alloy body structure that shaved nearly 300 pounds (140 kg) of weight. Interior packaging offered luxury appointments, up to 15 cupholders, wireless phone charging, and up to a 15.5-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen.

Powertrains are driven by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 delivering up to 440 horsepower, mated to a 10-speed automatic. The off-road Timberline edition adds 10.6 inches of ground clearance, Raptor underbody skid plates, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and Ford's BlueCruise hands-free driving tech. The lasting engineering impact of this generation remains a key benchmark in Ford's global model evolution history. Known for its dependable mechanical layout, the vehicle built a loyal customer base across diverse driving conditions. Offered with versatile feature packages, this iteration successfully balanced day-to-day usability with solid resale value.
