2018 Ford Expedition Towing Technologies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As summer approaches, the warmer weather gets more people outdoors and the 2018 Expedition has just the thing for making your excursions easier and less stressful. Not only does it offer a plethora of connectivity features for the best road-trip experience ever, it also provides drivers with best-in-class towing of up to 9,300 pounds and a new class-exclusive towing feature, Pro Trailer Backup Assist\u2122. With all of these features combined, there isn’t an SUV that is better equipped for summer than the 2018 Expedition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Expedition comes standard equipped with Tow\/Haul Mode that reduces gear hunting, improves power delivery and uses engine braking to help control vehicle speed when descending hills.  It’s especially useful when towing or hauling heavy loads! You’ll make quick and easy trailer hookups!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
