Review

A large crossover for most people would be more suitable for their family needs. It would be much cheaper too. However, the 2021 Ford Expedition Max, with super large spaces and a super-powerful engine, making family transport simpler, is appealing.

This big box can swallow almost everything you have to throw into it (the suggested excessive Expedition Max is twice as large), and adults can sit comfortably in all three rows. The 2021 expedition is also an outstanding choice for those with maximum requirements (or needs).

Max’s additional space is worth $3,025. The lower trimming standard is more valuable than the ritzier King Ranch and Platinum, which are too costly to enter the same area as the Lincoln Navigator, which is much more mechanically linked and luxurious. Although we have found that the Ford only offers better passenger space and standard power, at least the total difference was significantly lower than last year.

2021 Expedition Max Interior

Of course, the interior depends on trim, but we like what Ford has done here in particular. Strong plastics are available in many places, but they do not dominate the interior landscape, and pleasant materials are available. Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system is supplied standard throughout the Expedition. 

It comes with an 8inch touch screen, which is normal and is suitable for inputs and gestures (though having static menu icons or physical menu buttons sure would be nice). Navigation is available, but it gets irritatingly locked out by using the standard Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. And while we haven’t tested it, Apple CarPlay’s version of Ford locks up many features as you move, requiring you to use Siri to perform many tasks.

The shipping is standard with four USB ports, not much for a three-row vehicle. Wireless mobile charging is possible, and a 4G LTE wireless hotspot, with up to 10 devices connected. Rear passengers will benefit from an optional dual-headrest rear-seat entertainment system that includes a device or a home cable account streaming capacity.
