The driving dynamics are further elevated by an Adaptive ride suspension featuring Continuously Controlled Damping w/Suspension Road Preview. This advanced system monitors the road ahead, adjusting the dampers in real-time to neutralize imperfections before you even feel them. Combined with an Aluminum engine block and Independent front and rear suspension, the Expedition Max maintains a level of composure and agility that belies its impressive size. For those long-distance journeys, the Auto stop-start engine and Transmission oil cooler work behind the scenes to optimize performance, ensuring that every mile driven is as efficient as it is powerful.

Cutting-Edge Connectivity and Immersive Technology

The Power adjustable pedals and Power tilting and telescopic steering wheel ensure that drivers of all statures can find their ideal ergonomic setup for the commute from Clinton, IN.

The "Max" designation truly shines in the rear accommodations, where you will find Power reclining second-row bucket seats and a Power fold-into-floor third-row seat. This configuration provides a massive, versatile cargo area accessed via a Proximity cargo area access power liftgate. Triple-zone comfort is guaranteed by the Rear climate control system with separate controls and Third-row climate control, ensuring that every passenger, regardless of where they sit, enjoys the same premium environment.

For highway travel, the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane-Keeping System work in tandem to reduce driver fatigue, while BlueCruise technology offers a preview of the future of automated driving on compatible roadways.

Protection is bolstered by a network of 6 airbags, including the Safety Canopy System which provides curtain coverage for all three rows. Active interventions like Forward collision mitigation with left turn assist and Reverse Brake Assist act as a digital co-pilot, stepping in to help prevent accidents before they occur. Furthermore, the BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Trailer Tow Coverage ensures that even when utilizing the Class IV tow rating, you have a clear view of your surroundings, providing peace of mind for every mile of your journey.

The Body-colored grille with chrome accents and Stainless steel side window trim provide a polished, upscale aesthetic that fits perfectly in the most exclusive areas of the region. Practicality meets style with the Black Onyx Painted Power Deployable Running Boards, which extend to greet you upon approach and tuck away neatly to maintain a clean profile while in motion.

Illumination is handled by high-performance LED low and high beam headlights and LED daytime running lights, ensuring maximum visibility and a distinct visual signature. The Rear lip spoiler and Body-colored bumpers contribute to a cohesive, streamlined look, while the Roof rails provide additional utility for those who lead an active, outdoor-oriented lifestyle.
