White 2021 Ford Expedition on StreetWhen you have a growing family, owning the right vehicle can make all the difference. The Ford Expedition gives you fun features that the entire family will love and the safety features you need to keep your most precious cargo safe and secure. Here are four reasons why you should choose the  Expedition as your next family vehicle.

1. Spacious Interior

The 2021 Expedition comfortably seats eight, so there’s plenty of room for everyone. The second- and third-row seats both include a full set of LATCH child safety seat fasteners. You can store and organize all of your essential gear thanks to the 29 cubic foot cargo space and standard cargo management system located behind the third row. When passengers aren’t occupying the rear rows, they can fold flat to give you up to 121.5 cubic feet of storage space. A total of 15 cup holders and several storage pockets feature throughout the cabin.

2. Entertainment Features

Thanks to the Expedition’s innovative entertainment technology, road trip boredom is a thing of the past. With support for 10 devices, the 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot lets everyone use their smartphone or tablet. Six USB ports and a wireless charging pad keep every device up and running. A dual-headrest rear-seat entertainment system lets rear-seat passengers enjoy their favorite movies, video games, and even live TV. The system features headphones so passengers can listen without distracting the driver.

When you want to listen to an audiobook or road trip tunes, they’ll sound incredible thanks to the premium Bang & Olufsen sound system. Integrated navigation gives you real-time traffic updates and shows you the nearest gas stations, restaurants, and hotels. The Alexa+ app lets you control your smart home devices while you’re on the road.

3. Towing Capability

When the family wants to take the boat out on the lake or go on a camping trip, you’ll appreciate the Expedition’s 9,300-pound towing capacity. The Expedition features trailer sway control and other towing technology that makes towing safer and less stressful. You’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.

4. Intelligent Safety Features

No family SUV is complete without intelligent safety features. The Ford Expedition’s rearview camera and active park assist make parking and maneuvering tight spots a breeze. If your Expedition starts to drift, the lane-keeping system will steer it back into place. When you’re driving in reverse, the cross-traffic monitor will alert you to approaching vehicles and pedestrians. The blind-spot information system makes it safer to change lanes by letting you know if there’s a vehicle in your blind spots.

A pre-collision system scans the road for impending collisions and applies automatic emergency braking in emergencies. Auto high-beam headlights activate when you need more light and dim when they sense oncoming traffic, so you don’t have to worry about blinding other drivers. Rain-sensing windshield wipers activate and adjust to changes in rainfall.

As you can see, the 2021 Ford Expedition has a lot to offer growing families. Take a test drive today and see why it’s the right SUV for your family.
