Command the Road with Full-Size Luxury and Unmatched Capability

When your family requires the absolute highest standard of interior space, heavy-duty towing capacity, and road-commanding luxury, the new Ford Expedition stands supreme. Built on a fully boxed steel frame and utilizing independent rear suspension for a surprisingly supple, car-like ride, the Expedition redefines what a full-size SUV can be. For drivers living in Groton and the surrounding Southeastern Connecticut coastline, the Expedition provides an effortless driving environment whether you are transporting extended family to dinners in downtown Mystic, commuting past the Submarine Base, or hauling heavy equipment across the Gold Star Memorial Bridge on I-95.

The exterior presence of the Ford Expedition is undeniable. Featuring a massive front grille, distinctive C-clamp LED headlights, available 22-inch polished aluminum wheels, and power-deployable running boards that automatically extend when a door is opened, the Expedition exudes refined strength. For off-road enthusiasts, the specialized Expedition Timberline® trim elevates capability with 10.6 inches of ground clearance, 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires, heavy-duty Underbody skid plates sourced from the F-150 Raptor, and a Trail Control™ system that manages low-speed crawling across rugged New England terrain.

High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 & Class-Leading 9,300-Lb Towing

Under the hood, every Ford Expedition is powered by a sophisticated 3.5-liter EcoBoost® twin-turbocharged V6 engine mated to a seamless 10-speed automatic transmission. Standard models generate 380 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, providing smooth, instantaneous acceleration for highway passing maneuvers. Upgrading to higher-tier models—or equipping the available High-Output engine on the Timberline® or Stealth Performance Package—boosts power ratings to an incredible 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, delivering sports-car-like acceleration in a full-size SUV body.

When it comes to towing heavy loads, the Expedition stands at the top of its class. Equipped with the available Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, the Expedition boasts a maximum towing capacity of up to 9,300 pounds. This allows you to effortlessly pull large cabin cruisers, heavy travel trailers, or multi-car enclosed trailers across Connecticut. Advanced trailering tech—such as Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ 2.0, Trailer Reverse Guidance, an integrated trailer brake controller, and a 360-degree camera with split-view display—makes hitching up and maneuvering large loads at local boat ramps completely stress-free.
