Set Out on an Adventure With the 2024 Ford Expedition

If your family is one that likes to hit the road for grand adventures when the sun is shining, the 2024 Ford Expedition should be high on your list of vehicles to get you on your way. Too often, great plans for camping, adventuring, or hitting the back roads can be thwarted because you don’t have the vehicle to make your dreams happen. Lots of people choose a vehicle that will fit all of their kids and make it easy to cart them around town but sacrifice the durability needed for an active lifestyle. Don’t settle for mere practicality with a run-of-the-mill SUV. Instead, get everything you need in one neat package with this full-size SUV that seats up to eight people. It’s in the name, after all; with a new 2024 Ford Expedition, you can truly take your family off on expeditions of your own.

Take Your Active Lifestyle to New Heights With the 2024 Ford Expedition

Active families who enjoy outdoor activities and sports will do well with this ruggedly durable choice of vehicle. When you get out of the city, there is oh so much to do! Within an hour’s drive of Atlanta, you’ll find awesome campgrounds boasting a whole host of activities. One of our favorite places to head is Red Top Mountain State Park. Here, you can find a truly beautiful escape from city or suburban life. There are camping sites, picnic areas, and acres and acres of wilderness to take your kids exploring in. Any great childhood involves a great deal of play, and getting your family off for a weekend to live among nature is a great way to achieve this!

This park (and many others in the area!) also offers great swimming, fishing, boating, and water skiing. If you plan to participate in one of these activities or several, you’re going to want to make sure that your SUV can fit your equipment and sporting gear while still accommodating the whole family. As the avid fisher knows, you’re going to need some extra space to fit those long poles in! To make hauling your equipment even easier, you may want to tow a trailer, secure bikes to the roof or rear, or equip the roof with a cargo carrier. Luckily, the 2024 Ford Expedition can do all of this and more with a myriad of features designed to help you live your life to the fullest! Here are some of the design features Ford has ingrained into the DNA of the Expedition that make it stand out from the competition.

Power and Off-Road Capability

At the heart of the 2024 Ford Expedition is power. If you’re going to keep your kids safe on the back roads and driving around campsites and lakes, you’re going to need to be confident your vehicle can drive over roots and gullies. This is especially true when you’re fully loaded with cargo and equipment. The 2024 Ford Expedition comes with a choice of two powerful engine options. First is the standard 3.5L EcoBoost turbocharged V6. This engine packs a punch with 380 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, and is upgraded to offer 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque in the Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum trims!

If you’re looking for something even more thunderous, you’re in luck because the off-road Timberline trim comes with a high-output version of this engine! With it, you’ll get 440 hp and a massive 510 lb-ft of torque. This engine is an especially good option if you’re planning to tow a trailer or boat, with a maximum towing capacity of 9,300 lbs! The 2024 Ford Expedition also comes in either a rear-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive configuration for added stability and control off the beaten path and during bad weather.

Features to Take You Outdoors

Ford doesn’t back down from piling on outdoorsy features with the 2024 Ford Expedition, which makes it a joy to drive on adventures. Depending on the trim level you select, different features will be available. These include tools like Ford Trail Control and Trail 1-Pedal Drive. Ford Trail Control is a low-speed cruise control for off-roading, while Trail 1-Pedal Drive will apply the brakes when you lift off the gas pedal for greater control. If you plan to travel dirt roads, these are great additions for added safety!

A lifted suspension is also available on the 2024 Expedition if you choose the Timberline trim. This special suspension system is built for off-roading with premium off-road shocks as well as a giant 10.6 inches of ground clearance to help you sail past ruts in the road without a second glance. Other trims offer Continuous Controlled Damping coupled with Suspension Road Preview, which helps keep your driving experience smooth even when you hit a bump in the road. The suspension adapts to obstacles in upcoming terrain by using the front-facing camera to watch for bumps. This is some serious future tech!

It’s also important to mention that there are seven distinct drive modes available for four-wheel drive configurations of the 2024 Ford Expedition. All you need to do is push the button to match the terrain or climate, and the Expedition will do the hard work for you. There is an option for Eco to minimize fuel usage, Tow/Haul for when you’ve got cargo behind you, and Grass/Gravel/Snow for when you’re driving over loose terrain. If you’re in a low-traction situation, you can select Sand. Or, maybe more commonly in our neck of the woods, there’s an option for Mud/Ruts to deal with uneven surfaces. You will never have to worry about your vehicle’s performance on rainy days again.

Other features like steel front skid plates and 32-inch all-terrain tires add to the Expedition’s off-road abilities. Once you’ve parked, a nifty additional feature called Zone Lighting will mean you don’t need to stop having fun even when it gets dark outside! No matter whether you have your Expedition running or not, you can activate the Zone Lighting to brighten up the area. You can choose where to concentrate the light in different zones around the exterior of your Expedition by using the touchscreen in the cabin or even with an app on your smartphone! If your campfire isn’t cutting it for board games after dark, you can make the most of your family time no matter the time of day!
