2025 Ford Expedition Suspension Significantly Modified Due To Customer Feedback

The redesigned 2025 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator have been on sale for several weeks now after both made their official debut last October – bringing with them a host of updates ranging from revamped exterior styling to new features and a very much overhauled interior. Those updates have thus far proven to be quite effective, as the revamped full-size SUVs are enjoying their best sales performance in 20 years as each remains in high demand. As is usually the case, at least one of those updates stems from direct customer feedback, it seems.

According to The Blue Oval, customers were already pleased with the previous-generation Expedition’s ride quality, but they also wanted the SUV to exhibit less impact harshness when driving over small bumps, potholes, and imperfections. To do that, Ford looked to the front suspension present in Ford F-150 pickups, and then retuned the springs and shocks, softened the body mounts, redesigned pieces of the rear frame and hitch, and updated the attachment location for the stabilizer bar.

Those changes apparently did the trick, as the 2025 Ford Expedition reportedly “breathes” better when driving over bumpy roads, with increased isolation inside the cabin without feeling “floaty.” Customers will find that they won’t feel as much through the seats when driving over those small imperfections, resulting in a comfier ride and better highway long-distance driving experience.

Other than these tweaks, the 2025 Ford Expedition features updated exterior styling, the first-ever Split Gate feature out back, and a thoroughly revamped interior with new screens and the Ford Digital Experience software. On top of that, Claire Yarmak, a quality manager at the Kentucky Truck plant, previously noted that The Blue Oval “spared no expense” in regard to ensuring that the 2025 Ford Expedition delivered the best possible quality to buyers, which is a result of the company beefing up its quality control, in general.

Brett's lost track of all the Fords he's owned over the years and how much he's spent modifying them, but his current money pits include an S550 Mustang and 13th gen F-150.
