2015 Ford Expedition Limited

This is Ford's full-size SUV, the one families cross-shop against the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon. It drives more like a truck than a car, but the ride is steady and confident on the highway. Three rows of seating give everyone room, and the middle row's captain's chairs make getting kids in and out easy. With the third row up, cargo space is tight, so you may find yourself folding a seat for a stroller. Leather upholstery, power-folding third-row seats, and a premium sound system set the Limited apart from the XLT below it. The 3.5L V6 makes 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which gives you steady pulling power for a trailer or a boat. Expect the ride to be on the firm side when unloaded, which is the trade-off for how well it handles a heavy load.
