The 2023 Ford Expedition offers a great balance of looks, performance, and features. Though this full-size SUV has gone largely unchanged since last year, its spacious interior, three rows of flexible seating, and responsive EcoBoost V6 engine make the Expedition practical for workday commuting as well as fun weekend road trips. For 2023 there are six trim levels drivers can choose from, starting with the entry-level XL STX that comes in at $55,125 and ending with the high-end Platinum.[a] Well, you can't say that Ford doesn't believe in choices.
The Expedition's standard 3.5L EcoBoost engine delivers plenty of power but does so efficiently, with a rated fuel economy of 19 MPG combined.

Drivers looking for a little more power can level up thanks to the newly available Stealth Performance Edition Package, which gives drivers a High-Output version of the engine for increased horsepower and performance. That is in addition to a dual exhaust system and a sport-tuned suspension. A bold dark color scheme makes the Stealth Performance Package SUV eye-catching and powerful.
