The 2023 Ford Expedition: What to Expect!

The 2022 model year Ford Expedition was given a considerable refresh, so it can be possible that the 2023 model year Ford Expedition will only receive minor changes. There is still an expectation, however, that a hybrid engine might come out in time for the Expedition for the 2023 model year. Whether or not this is indeed the case for this coming model year is yet to be known, but there are other engines for the largest SUV in Ford’s catalog, and here’s a more in-depth look at them and what they could mean for the 2023 model year. 

Currently, a ten-speed automatic transmission is mated to all three EcoBoost engines. The Timberline comes standard with AWD (All-Wheel Drive), and the other Expedition trims are paired with two-wheel drive; however, they can all still be paired with AWD! 

The PowerBoost V6 that lies within the Ford F-150 garners around 430 horsepower, but that can be increased depending on where Ford wants to position it. One of the current EcoBoost V6 engines may get dropped to make space for the PowerBoost. No news has fully come out about that or which one might get cut for it.

The PowerBoost hybrid engine that Ford has was the one that was expected for the’23 Expedition as it is already available for the F-150. However, it remains unclear if this engine will be available for the 2023 model year. If a hybrid engine makes it to the 2023 Expedition, it seems to be similar to the one on the F-150. Without the hybrid engine, however, there are still three competent engines that the ‘23 Expedition will use.

• A 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 produces 380 horsepower with 470 lb-ft of torque (standard on the Expedition).
• The Limited trim offers the EcoBoost V6 with 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque.
• The Timberline trim offers a high-output 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine with 440-500 horsepower and over 500 lb-ft of torque.

Each Expedition trim will come in two body styles: the standard version and the Expedition Max. The Max adds a foot when it comes to size in comparison to the standard, and it can accommodate up to eight people. Thanks to its chassis (based on the Ford F-150’s), it drives and handles like America’s favorite truck, giving it a unique unibody that differs from the ford Explorer. Pricing has not come out just yet for the 2023 model year Expedition, but production is set to start in November 2022, so news will come out before then!
