Ford Expedition Performance Overview
Ford’s full-size SUV has been tracked across 25 independently verified tests spanning 1997 to 2025, showing a steady shift from slow naturally aspirated V8 acceleration to quicker twin-turbo gasoline performance. The UN93 generation (1997–2002) opened with 230–260 hp and 0-60 times such as 10.6 seconds for the 1997 XLT and 9.5 seconds for the 2002 XLT. U222 (2003–2006) raised output to 260–300 hp and lowered the benchmark to 8.6 seconds in the 2004 XLT.
With U324 (2007–2017), the Expedition moved from naturally aspirated V8s toward EcoBoost twin-turbo power, covering a 300–365 hp range and cutting performance meaningfully. Early gains came with the 2007 EL Limited at 8.4 seconds and 2008 King Ranch at 8.1, before the 2015 Platinum dropped to 6.4 seconds.
The current U553 generation, introduced for 2018, is the quickest yet, using twin-turbo gasoline engines rated from 375 to 440 hp. The 2018 Platinum reached 5.7 seconds, and current bests stand at 4.9 seconds to 60 mph and a 13.5-second quarter-mile at 102 mph from the 2025 Max Platinum (Stealth Performance Pack). Today, the Expedition sits in a 4.9-to-10.6-second 0-60 window, with all recorded examples remaining gasoline-powered.

How we verify Ford Expedition performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Ford Expedition trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
