📖Expedition V Max: extended-wheelbase full-size SUV pairing digital refinement with heavy hauling capability

Ford Expedition V Max (2024-Présent)

Unveiled in late 2024 alongside the standard model for the 2025 model year, the fifth-generation Expedition Max stretches Ford’s flagship platform by an extra 30 centimetres of wheelbase and overall length, creating an expansive extended-wheelbase full-size SUV engineered for luxury touring and heavy hauling. Built upon a high-strength aluminium-alloy body mounted to a fully boxed steel frame, comprehensive Ford Expedition maintenance is vital to safeguard its air suspension components, electronic differentials and high-capacity cooling circuits against premature strain. Positioned squarely against the long-wheelbase Chevrolet Suburban, it delivers cavernous cargo space behind the third row whilst managing up to 4,350 kg of braked towing capacity.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Cavernous interior volume and boot capacity behind the third row, making it the ultimate long-distance family tourer.
  • Potent 3.5 EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 provides effortless overtaking torque and strong towing performance across all terrains.
  • Innovative Ford Split Gate rear tailgate provides versatile cargo management and doubles as a sturdy tailgate bench.
  • Aluminium-alloy body panels significantly reduce overall vehicle weight and eliminate common structural exterior panel rust.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • 10R80 10-speed automatic gearbox: inspect for delayed engagement from Park into Drive or Reverse, and test for shift flares between gears 3 and 5.
  • 3.5 EcoBoost cooling circuit and turbos: inspect coolant hoses, turbo oil feed pipes and auxiliary coolers for leaks after high-load motorway towing.
  • Ford Split Gate powered tailgate: check alignment of upper glass lift and motorised lower tailgate latches to prevent electrical binding.
  • Rear axle and extended chassis: inspect rear differential oil seals, leaf or coil spring mounts and towing hitch welds for signs of heavy overload.
  • Panoramic 24-inch display: confirm that over-the-air (OTA) software updates have installed correctly without intermittent black screens.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil and filter change strictly every 8,000 km or 6 months using Ford WSS-M2C961-A1 5W-30 full synthetic lubricant.
  • Automatic transmission fluid and internal sump filter replacement every 60,000 km or 4 years.
  • Transfer case and front/rear differential fluid renewals every 40,000 km, halved when towing heavy trailers regularly.
  • Spark plug replacement every 50,000 km using genuine Motorcraft iridium plugs to maintain optimal twin-turbo combustion.
