Ford Expedition: Safety Ratings

Like many other SUVs, the Expedition has undergone a battery of rigorous crash testing. Its safety ratings, as determined by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), are hard to beat: It earned a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating this year. That’s the highest score the organization offers—a true win for the Expedition.

What does that rating signify? First, let’s break down that figure: The Expedition earned a perfect 5-out-of-5 stars on the frontal and side crash tests. It also earned a solid 4 stars on the rollover crash test. With results like these, it’s clear this Ford SUV has been engineered from the ground up to help keep you safe.

NHTSA ratings are just one measure by which you can judge a vehicle’s commitment to safety. Next, we’ll consider the Expedition’s impressive driver-assist suite.

Advanced Driver-Assist Features

As you cruise down the streets of Kannapolis and Lexington, it helps to have an extra pair of eyes on the road. Need to change lanes on the highway? The available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) makes it a bit safer. This system can warn you of vehicles detected in your blind spots.

Is traffic ahead slowing down? Available Adaptive Cruise Control will help you keep a preset distance from the vehicle in front of you. With its stop-and-go feature, it can slow your SUV to a full stop in slow-moving traffic. When the pace picks up, so will you!

The Expedition offers even more driver-assist features. You can find standard and available technologies, such as:

• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
• Lane-Keeping System
• 360-degree camera with split-view display
• MyKey®

A Safer Towing Experience

Did you know the Expedition can tow up to 9,300 pounds? With the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package equipped, you can tow the family boat or even hitch up a small camper trailer! When you transform your Expedition into a weekend warrior, you’ll want to tow as safely as possible.

Luckily, this Ford SUV offers several features to help you tow with confidence. AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®) works with standard trailer sway control to help keep you stable on the roads. And that BLIS® system we mentioned earlier? It offers blind-spot coverage for your trailer, too.

When you need to reverse with your trailer in tow, available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ is handy to have. You can steer your trailer with the turn of a knob and track its progress on the rearview camera.
