2018 FORD EXPEDITION MAX Platinum 4x2 4dr SUV ------------------------------------------------------------------- Absolutely great looking Expedition Max Platinum Edition with all the extras and all the room for any trip in or out of town for family or fun, this is the full size Luxury Ride that is safe solid, and will not disappoint. Whats new The 2018 Expedition is fully redesigned More powerful V6 engine and new 10-speed automatic transmission Updated interior with new features The first year of the fourth-generation Expedition More rugged than a typical three-row crossover, the 2018 Ford Expedition, a traditional truck-based SUV, is a top pick if you need a vehicle that can haul families, toys or both. It seats up to eight people, has a powerful turbocharged V6 engine and can tow more than 9,000 pounds. ************************************** Interior 8.0 The Expedition makes full use of its massive wheelbase and gives every passenger ample room and comfort to spare. Its not all perfect, though. The center console is a bit button-heavy, and thick roof pillars hamper outward visibility. Ease of use 8.0 Even with Sync 3, the Expeditions dash is festooned with buttons and knobs. In a way, this is welcome since you can operate just about any control using them rather than having to go through menus on the touchscreen. Getting in/getting out 9.0 Gigantic door openings, well-placed grab handles and broad running boards make it easy to get in and out. The second-row seats tilt and fold forward. Combined with the tall cabin, they allow easy walk-in access to the third row. But keep in mind those big doors require space to swing out. Driving position 8.0 Thanks to the Expeditions tall ride height and seating position, drivers get a commanding view of the road. The wide range of adjustability for the drivers seat and steering wheel ensures most drivers will find an ideal position. Roominess 9.5 A vehicle this big should have acres of room, and the Expedition does not disappoint. Every row can seat adults with plenty of room. Even the third row, which is usually a penalty box in most SUVs, is decent enough to seat two adults for long distances. Quality 8.0 It may not be a luxury sedan, but the Expedition does a fair impression of one. Interior panels and parts were squeak-free on our test vehicle and exhibited excellent fit and finish. Leather quality erred on the side of durable versus supple. But given the application, we think its the right move. ********************************* Utility 8.5 The Expeditions cargo volume, plethora of storage nooks and flexible seating arrangements win the day. The stowable cargo shelf is handy, too. Towing power is icing on the cake for this big SUV. Small-item storage 8.0 It seems like theres a storage spot for anything you can think of. The door pockets are cavernous, as is the center console. There are small nooks along the sides of the center tunnel, too. Rear passengers also have storage space. Only the somewhat small front cupholders detract. Cargo space 9.0 With all the seats in the up position, the standard-wheelbase Expedition has 20.9 cubic feet of cargo space, similar to the smaller Explorer. With the third row down, theres 57.5 cubic feet and a gaping 104.6 cubic feet with all rear seats down. You get even more with the Expedition Max. Child safety seat accommodation 8.0 There are LATCH anchors for all six rear seat positions. Rear and side LATCH points are easy to see and access. The sliding second-row seats, power-actuated running boards and plenty of space make the process of installing car seats easy. Towing 8.5 Equipped with the Heavy Duty Trailer Tow package — which includes a larger radiator, 3.73 gears, trailer backup assist and an integrated trailer brake controller — the Expedition can tow up to 9,300 pounds. The Expedition Max is rated for 9,000 pounds. Hauling With its power liftgate, power-folding third-row seat, and fla
