Family Road Trips? 2025 Ford Expedition® Rocks Cleveland Highways

There’s something almost magical about piling the family into a vehicle, setting the GPS, and heading off on a road trip. In Cleveland, where the highways roll past shimmering lake views and cityscapes before opening up to the lush countryside of Ohio, you need a ride that’s ready to handle it all. Enter the 2025 Ford Expedition®, a full-size SUV that’s ready to carry your family and all their gear with style, comfort, and confidence.

If you’ve ever tried to pack the entire family into a cramped crossover, you know the struggle. There’s always that moment of stuffing bags into the back, hoping the hatch will close, and squeezing kids between booster seats. The 2025 Ford Expedition® changes that narrative completely. With its cavernous interior, this SUV can seat up to eight passengers, making it perfect for large families or groups of friends ready to hit the road.

The second- and third-row seating offer flexible configurations, so no matter if you’re hauling sports gear, luggage, or a week’s worth of camping supplies, you’ll have space to spare. And when the kids stretch out in those available captain’s chairs or pile into the back with their tablets, you’ll appreciate the quiet comfort that makes every highway mile a little smoother.

Driving through Cleveland isn’t only about straight stretches of I-90. You’ve got city traffic, lake-effect winds, rolling hills, and stretches of open highway. The available 3.5L EcoBoost® engine of the 2025 Ford Expedition® delivers the kind of smooth, confident power that makes merging onto I-480 or climbing the I-271 hills feel effortless. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, it’s engineered to balance muscle with refinement.

For families, comfort is just as important as power. The suspension of the 2025 Ford Expedition® soaks up Cleveland’s potholes with grace, while available adaptive suspension adjusts on the fly to road conditions. Parents can enjoy a stress-free drive, while the kids in the back stay blissfully unaware of the rough patches under the tires.

Family road trips are only as fun as your backseat passengers allow. Fortunately, the 2025 Ford Expedition® comes loaded with tech that keeps everyone entertained and connected. The available SYNC® 4 system with a 13.2-inch touchscreen serves as your command center, making it easy to navigate, control entertainment, and even monitor backseat behavior without taking your eyes off the road.

With available rear-seat entertainment screens, kids can stream their favorite shows or play games, while wireless charging pads and USB ports keep everyone’s devices powered up. And thanks to the available Wi-Fi hotspot, you can keep teens connected to their social feeds, even as you wind through the countryside on I-71.

Let’s face it: Cleveland highways can get hectic. From packed Cavaliers game traffic to sudden downpours off Lake Erie, there’s no shortage of challenges on the road. That’s why the 2025 Ford Expedition® offers an impressive suite of driver-assist technologies.

Features like Ford Co-Pilot360® include Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®), Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, and available Active Park Assist 2.0. From navigating tight downtown streets to zipping down I-77, these tools help keep the whole family safe and take some of the stress out of the drive.

Cleveland families know how to make the most of every season. In summer, it’s weekends at Edgewater Beach or Put-in-Bay. Come winter, it’s road trips to the slopes at Boston Mills. The cavernous cargo area of the 2025 Ford Expedition® makes it easy to load up for any destination.

Need to haul camping gear, coolers, and bikes? Fold the third row flat and make room. Taking the whole soccer team to a tournament? Keep the seats up and stack the gear in the back. With the hands-free liftgate, you can even load up with arms full of groceries or luggage without fumbling for keys.

The 2025 Ford Expedition® isn’t solely built for the open highway, it’s tuned for Cleveland’s unique blend of urban, suburban, and country roads. On city streets, the steering feels light and responsive, making it easy to maneuver into tight parking spots or swing through the West Side Market. Out on I-90, it settles into a calm, composed cruise, ready to soak up mile after mile with minimal driver fatigue.

If you’re venturing out beyond the city limits, maybe down to Cuyahoga Valley National Park or over to Amish country, the available 4×4 system on the 2025 Ford Expedition® gives you the confidence to tackle dirt roads, snowy highways, and steep driveways. And with impressive towing capability, you can bring along a boat or camper for those longer getaways.

Inside, the 2025 Ford Expedition® feels like a rolling living room. Soft-touch materials, available leather seating, and clever storage compartments make it clear this SUV was designed with families in mind. Available features like heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic Vista Roof®, and a premium sound system turn an ordinary road trip into something special.

Even the small touches stand out, like the available massaging front seats, which can soothe away the stress of long drives, or the tri-zone automatic climate control, which keeps everyone comfortable from the front row to the third.

While many three-row SUVs try to balance space and performance, the 2025 Ford Expedition® leans confidently into its mission as a true family hauler. Compared to rivals like the Chevy Tahoe or GMC Yukon, the 2025 Ford Expedition® offers a more spacious interior and a tech-forward cabin that feels fresh and intuitive. And when you factor in the smooth, powerful EcoBoost® engine, you’ve got an SUV that handles Cleveland’s highways with ease and authority.

It’s not just about having the biggest SUV on the block, it’s about having one that makes every family journey smoother, easier, and a lot more enjoyable.

Living in Cleveland means embracing a little bit of everything: sports, music, history, parks, snowstorms, sunshine, you name it. The 2025 Ford Expedition® feels like the perfect companion for that lifestyle. It’s ready for weekend trips to Cedar Point, holiday drives to grandma’s house, or just a quick run to the grocery store after soccer practice.

With its mix of power, space, technology, and comfort, it transforms every family outing into an adventure waiting to happen.
