Changes and Updates
The 2023 Ford Expedition gains a few updates. Trail 1 Pedal Drive is now standard on Timberline models after being previously unavailable for the 2022 model year. And speaking of Timberline, the Ebony Black interior is now available as an option for this trim level, while the Deep Cyprus interior colorway has been deleted. Front- and second-row all-weather mats are now standard on the Expedition Timberline while remaining an optional extra on other trims. Previously, the mats were offered as a standalone option across all trims.
Finally, the universal garage door opener (UGDO) is no longer offered on the base XL trim while remaining standard on all other trims. Prior to 2023, the UGDO was standard on all trims.
