If you are looking for a local Ford dealer, we have the ideal family SUV waiting for you on our lot: the Ford Expedition. Spacious, with smart yet intuitive tech and plenty of cargo room, the 2024 Ford Expedition stands as a fantastic investment for the modern family––especially those in the Brooklyn, NY, area. We know what you’re thinking, though. So many SUVs are advertised as a great purchase for the modern family. Is the 2024 Ford Expedition different from all of those?
The answer is an enthusiastic yes. But if you’re not convinced, that’s okay. We’re going to walk through what makes the Expedition great for American families. We understand that there’s plenty of competition out there in the SUV market. We’ve heard the ads about how this or that SUV is ideal for families. However, we are absolutely confident that by the time you finish reading this, you’ll be as convinced as we are that the 2024 Ford Expedition should be every family’s next purchase. It’s an SUV that truly has it all.
What Do We Mean By Family Friendly?
For a vehicle to be family-friendly, first and foremost, it needs to be safe. When you’re on the road, you want to have full confidence in your automobile, especially when your friends and family are in the passenger seats. You’ll see why the 2024 Expedition fills this requirement easily with Ford Co-Pilot360 tech shortly.
Next, a family-oriented SUV should have plenty of space. If you feel like you have to squeeze everyone into your SUV in order to fit your family, then your trips are sure to be a drain on everyone involved. Vacation destinations will be a lot more limited, and everyone will have a negative outlook on driving. No one should have to put up with that.
Cargo space also ranks high. Even if an SUV is roomy for passengers, that won’t matter much if you cannot bring along any luggage. You don’t want a low cargo volume reducing the length of your journeys. Fortunately, the Expedition has tons of space.
Infotainment and other tech features are also important. Everyone should feel suitably entertained during a long trip, whether that means listening to music or enjoying a comfortable interior climate. Ford understands this and fills the Expedition with convenient features.
Last but not least, a family-friendly SUV should feel like it expands what your family can do. You want to purchase a new SUV with a sense that you’re improving not just your driving life but your family life. This is where a full-size SUV like the Expedition simply excels.
The Expedition’s Driver-Assist Features
The Ford Co-Pilot360 system has garnered acclaim, and rightly so, in our opinion. When your family sits in your SUV, you want to know your vehicle has your back. We know that you’re going to be driving as safely as possible, but unfortunately, you can’t control the other drivers on the road. We know how New York City streets can get a bit wild, so you want the best of the best in terms of safety systems.
Ford's Co-Pilot360 system supplies the 2024 Expedition with the standard driver-assist features expected in modern vehicles, such as a Lane-Keeping System and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. However, there are a few other tools Co-Pilot360 has that we believe are especially useful for drivers who plan to have friends and family in the passenger seats.
One feature ideal for drivers here in the city is Active Park Assist 2.0. The Ford Expedition offers a lot of space, but if you’re feeling unsure about operating a large SUV, this will quell those concerns. It automates the parking process after you find the perfect space so that what used to be a hassle is now simple and safe. The fact that your SUV is large will no longer have any downsides. If parking is tight in New York, it won’t ruin your day, thanks to the assistance your Expedition can give you.
Spacious Seating and Cargo Volume
The last thing you want to hear while driving is complaints. “It’s too tight back here,” or “My legs feel cramped,” or “This seat won’t adjust enough.” Not only are such complaints annoying, sapping the joy out of driving, but they’re also distracting while you’re trying to operate a vehicle.
Luckily, with the Expedition, this won’t be an issue. The Expedition's designers ensured the rear row could comfortably fit adults. Far too many SUVs brag of a third row, but it ends up only being useful for kids due to its limited seating space. That is not the case here at all. As your family grows, your Expedition will be there to safely carry them.
In terms of cargo, don’t think that the extra legroom for seating means you won't have space for luggage. With all seats in place, you’ll already have 20.9 cu.ft. of cargo room in the standard model and 36 cu.ft. in the extended wheelbase Expedition MAX. You’ll be fine no matter how many suitcases you need to store onboard your Expedition. If you start folding down seats, that number skyrockets. You can get up to 121.5 cu.ft. when both back rows are folded down (they’re intuitively designed so that when you fold them, they take up as little room as possible).
This makes the Expedition fantastic if you’re moving and want to be able to do as much as possible yourself. You’ll be able to carry so much cargo that you’ll save a ton of money by needing fewer movers. The size and versatility of the seating arrangements means there’s no better SUV on the market today in terms of spaciousness and cargo.
Keeping the Crew Comfortable and Entertained
Just as complaints about seating can be a distraction, so, too, can complaints about being too hot or too cold or that someone is just plain bored. Luckily, such complaints won’t be heard if you have a 2024 Ford Expedition.
You have optional wireless charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot so everyone aboard can stay connected no matter your destination. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay will let you connect your phone so you can have your tunes blasting as you drive down the Cross Island Parkway or Belt Parkway. If you’re worried about sound quality, fret no more: there’s an available B&O Unleashed Sound System that comes with 22 speakers and a subwoofer. You may as well be on stage with your favorite band at that point.
The Tri-Zone Electronic Automatic Climate Control will be a lifesaver if your SUV is filled with passengers who have different temperature preferences. You and your passengers will be able to have different climates thanks to this feature, so if you like it cool and someone else likes it warm, you’ll both be satisfied. You will also enjoy available heated and ventilated front seats with Active Motion Massage and even heated seats for your second-row passengers.
Expanding Life’s Possibilities
Family life can be a lot of fun if you let it, and owning a Ford Expedition will go a long way to making it so. Showing the kids new sights and sounds, taking the vacations you wish you were able to take as a kid, and maybe trying out some new activities, like camping or rafting (you’ll love the Expedition’s available roof rails) will let you and yours live your best lives. The 2024 Ford Expedition will allow you to bring your family everywhere in comfort and safety. Your family will thank you for the opportunities this full-size SUV gives you. Your only regret will be that you did not make the switch to an Expedition sooner.
