Find one with Spotter →Ford Expedition 4th Gen sold for a median of $38,000 over the last 12 months, based on 5 auction sales; the middle 50% sold between $37,480 and $51,250. 25 currently for sale.
The fourth-generation Ford Expedition (U553) debuted for the 2018 model year, representing a major update. It moved to a new T3 platform with an aluminum-intensive body, shedding up to 300 pounds over its predecessor. Power comes exclusively from a second-generation 3.5L EcoBoost V6, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, offering a combination of power and improved efficiency that buyers appreciate.
As a modern used vehicle, the Expedition's appeal comes from its immense capability and modern features. Top-tier Platinum models offer luxury-level interiors with features like massaging seats and a B&O sound system, making them attractive alternatives to premium-brand SUVs. Off-road oriented buyers seek out the FX4 package, while families value the extended-wheelbase MAX version for its cavernous cargo space behind the third row.
The market for these SUVs is broad, reflecting their wide range of configurations and conditions. The average sale price of around $20,743 is pulled down by high-mileage, lower-trim, or salvage-title examples that trade for very little. At the top end, nearly-new, low-mileage Platinum MAX 4x4s command prices well over $50,000, showing strong demand for well-equipped, gently used examples.
Buying Tips
- Inspect the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 for any timing chain rattle on cold starts, as phaser issues can be an expensive repair.
- Test the 10-speed automatic transmission for any jerky or hesitant shifts, which could indicate a need for software updates or internal servicing.
- Thoroughly check all electronic features, especially the SYNC 3 infotainment screen, power-folding seats, and panoramic sunroof, for proper operation.
- Examine the aluminum body panels for any white, powdery corrosion, particularly around steel fasteners, and look for signs of poor quality dent repair.
- On 4x4 models, verify the transfer case engages smoothly into all modes (2H, 4A, 4H, 4L) without unusual noises or hesitation.
Prices range from $350 for project or salvage vehicles to $52,500 for low-mileage, late-model examples in Platinum trim.
