The 2022 Ford Expedition Max adds a foot of overall length and 9.1” of wheelbase for a total of 131.6”. The last Ford Expedition we used for towing was a short-wheelbase FX4 and it was a little short and soft to do more than “okay” with an enclosed trailer. Turns out, adding another nine inches of wheelbase makes the 2022 Ford Expedition Max tow much better than a SWB Expedition. Every 2022 Expedition is powered by the same 3.5L EcoBoost V6, and this XLT is the lower-output variant with 380 HP and 470 lb-ft. MSRP of this 2022 Ford Expedition Max XLT is $69k.

Great review as always! I did notice a good bit of squat there, but sounds like it still rode well. Did it lighten the front end enough to make it feel a bit vague or uncertain at all? Do you think if you went to buy one, you’d get a model with the air suspension to help with that?

@OutMotorsports Год назад

Thanks! The trailer's got roughly 680 pounds of tongue weight which is within appropriate levels. We did not use weight distribution for this test but could have. Without WD, the nose still felt fine and steering was normal, nothing concerning. Weight distribution would help more than air suspension so that'd be the focus first. Air just makes it ride level but doesn't have the same effect as WDH.

@@OutMotorsports would love to see this redone with weight distribution to see the reduction in squat and drivability.

@Outmotorsports what was the weight/tongue weight of the trailer?

@Wreckerboy Год назад

Another excellent review as always. The XLT trim level is the “sweet spot” in the lineup that nicely balances (heavy, payload killing) creature features vs. luxury and comfort. I remain amazed that Ford continues with that dumb-ass headlight switch that probably debuted on the 1955 Fairlane, however…

@OutMotorsports Год назад

Glad you enjoyed! Definitely good to consider the payload of each trim, XLT makes a little more sense if equipped a bit differently from ours (and thus cheaper).

They need to make tow mirrors for the expedition for pulling trailers like that!

@OutMotorsports 4 месяца назад

Indeed, there are some universal-fit options for this generation of Expedition but Ford doesn't sell anything officially.

@dmitrybatishchev2867 6 месяцев назад

thats 8.5x20 trailer (if im not mistaken) - could you see around it fine with stock mirrors? would you need extended towing mirrors?

@OutMotorsports 6 месяцев назад

Yep, 8.5x20 - good eye! Stock mirrors tend to work fine with it and worked fine in this case. Extended tow mirrors are always a nice option although Ford doesn't appear to offer them on the Expedition. Guessing there are some good aftermarket options if you are towing often and want that extra visibility.
