Buckle up, kids—we’re going off-roading. For 2025, Ford is taking the Expedition family SUV to a new level of ruggedness with the all-new Expedition Tremor. Featuring upgrades like 33-inch all-terrain tires, an advanced four-wheel-drive system, and underbody protection, the Tremor trim is the most off-road capable Expedition ever.

Tremor off-road capability meets family comfort with 2025 Expedition

The heart of the 2025 Expedition Tremor is a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 delivering 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. This power, combined with a 10.6-inch ground clearance and an electronic locking rear differential, makes the Tremor more than capable of handling rugged terrains.

Adding to its off-road prowess are a Rock Crawl drive mode and Ford’s Trail Turn Assist, which allows the Expedition Tremor to navigate tight trails and steep inclines with ease.

The 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor offers room for the whole family

But the 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor doesn’t sacrifice comfort for capability. Inside, the Expedition offers seating for up to eight passengers and a host of tech features to keep everyone entertained.

The new 24-inch panoramic digital display provides easy access to controls and infotainment, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep everyone connected. The sliding front center console offers convenient storage for both front and second-row passengers, and the foldable third-row bench gives flexibility for hauling gear or extra passengers.

Thoughtful features make the 2025 Expedition Tremor ideal for tailgating

Ford’s attention to detail is evident with the new Ford Split Gate, which turns the rear of the vehicle into a makeshift table or seating area. This tailgate can support up to 500 pounds and even includes power outlets within arm’s reach, making it perfect for tailgating or camping.

Whether you’re at a stadium or campsite, the Expedition Tremor transforms into a family hangout spot.

The 2025 Ford Expedition simplifies towing

When the 2025 Expedition Tremor alone isn’t enough, its Pro Trailer Hitch and Backup Assist make attaching and parking with a trailer effortless. The Pro Trailer Hitch Assist uses the rear camera and corner radars to align the hitch with precision.

With just a press of a button, it controls the vehicle’s speed, steering, and braking, making hitching up a breeze. Once connected, the Pro Trailer Backup Assist allows the driver to guide the trailer easily by turning a knob, while the system automatically handles the steering.

How much can the 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor tow

For heavy loads, the 2025 Expedition Tremor boasts impressive towing capabilities. It can handle up to 7,000 pounds without a load-leveling bar and up to 9,600 pounds when equipped with a weight-distributing hitch, making it a powerful ally for any towing needs.

Final thoughts on the 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor

The 2025 Expedition lineup is set to arrive in dealerships by Spring 2025. As a large family SUV, it will be interesting to see how it stacks up against competitors like the GMC Yukon and Chevy Suburban when we have the chance to test it and evaluate its balance of off-road capability and everyday practicality.
