The modern Ford lineup includes a wide range of options, such as powerful trucks and SUVs in a variety of sizes and styles, ensuring you have plenty of different models to choose from. If you are looking for a large SUV, then the full-size Expedition is the way to go since it offers you three rows of seating for up to eight passengers, along with plenty of room inside. While the standard Expedition model works well for many drivers, for those looking for something even bigger, there is the Expedition Max and the incredibly spacious interior it offers. The combination of powerful engines, a roomy interior, and impressive tech features make the Expedition Max a fantastic choice for those who need the largest SUV Ford offers.
With the 2024 Ford Expedition Max, we see a powerful and incredible piece of machinery that is the answer to those facing the question of how to bring along everyone and everything they need while still getting an SUV that is fun to drive. The standard engine for the Expedition Max is a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 that offers 380 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, though some models feature this engine tuned to deliver 400 hp instead. If you prefer something with even more muscle under the hood, then a High-Output version of this engine goes further with 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque, which is perfect for such a large SUV. You can get up to 9,000 lbs of towing capacity with the Ford Expedition Max, ensuring you have a spacious vehicle plus the power to bring even more stuff along with you when you hit the road.
Not only is it powerful, but it is also an incredibly large SUV, so it is important that you make sure you have room in your life for it. Measuring more than 221 inches in total length, you get more than 121 cu.ft. of total cargo volume inside the Expedition Max, so all of that size is put to good use—not to mention 172 cu.ft. of total passenger space for your friends and family to stretch out in. Perhaps best of all, nearly every trim level for the Ford Expedition is also available for the Expedition Max, letting you choose between standard features in the XLT model that include 18-inch wheels and a 12-inch Infotainment display inside, or something like the Expedition Platinum Max with its 22-inch wheels and gorgeous 15.5-inch Infotainment screen.

Performance
Power and Handling
Every SUV should have a good engine that makes it fun to drive, but with a large model like the 2024 Ford Expedition Max, having plenty of power under the hood is even more important. Fortunately, Ford’s engineers and designers understand this, and they have packed a lot of muscle into this beauty, ensuring you enjoy yourself while behind the wheel. You have a few different levels of performance available for the Expedition Max, starting with a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine that delivers 380 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, which comes paired with a 10-speed automatic with SelectShift that ensures a smooth and responsive driving experience. The Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum models of the Expedition Max feature this engine tuned to deliver 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque for added performance.
If you are looking for something with even more muscle under the hood, then Ford has you covered with another option that is exclusive to just one setup. There is a High-Output version of this engine that delivers 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque, giving you an incredible driving experience that makes it easy to control such a large SUV. The one thing to note is that this engine is only offered for the Expedition Limited Max with the available Stealth Performance package. It is also offered for the Expedition Timberline model, but that trim is not available for the Expedition Max, so keep that in mind when exploring your options.Towing
No matter which engine you choose, the Expedition Max is a terrific choice when you need a large SUV that is fun to drive. One of the best things about th
is vehicle is it can also handle a lot of towing, letting you haul a trailer or boat with you wherever you need to go. Standard models with two-wheel drive (4×2) can handle 6,300 lbs of maximum towing, while four-wheel drive (4×4) models offer 6,000 lbs of towing. If you choose the optional Heavy-Duty Trailer Towing package, however, then those numbers get bumped up to 9,000 lbs of towing for both 4×2 and 4×4 configurations; consider how much weight you want to pull behind you when choosing the right setup for your Expedition Max.
Interior
Size
We will not deny that small SUVs, including subcompact and compact models, have been incredibly popular in recent years. But for some of us, we need a large and powerful SUV with plenty of room inside for the people in our lives and the stuff we need to take with us. This is where the full-size design and spacious interior of the Ford Expedition Max are perfect; remember that this model is even bigger than the standard Expedition and gives you more room to take advantage of. For comparison’s sake, the Expedition is 210 inches long with a 122.5-inch wheelbase and has about 104 cu.ft. of total cargo volume inside to utilize.
The 2024 Ford Expedition Max lives up to its reputation as a large and impressive vehicle, starting with its overall size, which is quite remarkable. This stunning SUV measures nearly 222 inches in total length, about a foot longer than the standard Expedition, and has a wheelbase of more than 131 inches. That design extends the Expedition Max and its interior, creating a lot more room inside for you to take advantage of. Other than its length, however, its dimensions are the same as the standard Expedition: a width of about 80 inches, not including mirrors, and standing about 76 inches in height.
Space
This full-size design comes through when looking at the interior of the Expedition Max, where we find similar space for you and your passengers in terms of headroom and legroom. What is quite different, however, is the amount of room you get for the stuff you need to bring along with you. The Expedition Max has more than 34 cu.ft. of rear cargo space behind the rear seats, nearly 80 cu.ft. of cargo volume behind the second row, and 121.5 cu.ft. of total cargo volume behind the front seats. That is a significant increase compared to the standard Expedition, making this the perfect vehicle when you need to bring a lot of stuff with you.
Convenience
Innovative Features
No matter which 2024 Ford Expedition Max model you choose, you get impressive tech features to enjoy while driving, though there are plenty of available options at higher trim levels. The starting Expedition XLT Max model has cloth seating for eight passengers, though seven-passenger seating is available along with heated and ventilated front seats. Tri-zone automatic temperature control is standard to keep you and your passengers comfortable, plus you get an auto-dimming rearview mirror, cruise control, and push-button start. As the driver, you get an eight-inch productivity screen in the gauge cluster, plus a standard 12-inch Infotainment display with SYNC 4 software and a six-speaker sound system.
The Expedition Platinum Max trim level takes things to another level, including standard seven-passenger seating with leather-trimmed seats, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated second-row captain’s chairs all standard. The Platinum also includes a memory feature for the driver’s seat, a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, and advanced features like the BlueCruise hands-free driving system. Up front, the gauge cluster includes a 12.4-inch screen, plus you get a gorgeous 15.5-inch Infotainment display and a 22-speaker B&O Unleashed sound system that you have to hear to fully appreciate.
