We are all very used to hearing about how epic the Ford Raptor lineups are for off-road thrills, with models like the new Ford F-150 Raptor, the Ford Ranger Raptor, and the Ford Bronco Raptor all boasting some of the market's best desert-destroying and trail-worthy additions that set them apart from the capable, but not as gnarly, lineups.They are all worth their weight in steel for off-road prowess, but, this year, Ford has answered our prayers and is now offering a new off-roading iteration that steps away from the mid-size SUV, mid-size pickup truck, and full-size pickup truck markets we are used to the Raptor being available in, in the form of a full-size SUV that combines the off-roading guts of the Raptor lineups with the luxury, comfortable, and versatile features of one of the marque's most capable SUV lineups. The Expedition Tremor Was Long Overdue Amee Reehal | TopSpeedFor the first time, 2025 marks the year that Ford rolls out a proper full-size SUV for us off-road junkies, and we think it is about time they did so. With a starting price, before you add a whole plethora of additions, the 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor will cost you at least $81,350. It is not the cheapest off-road-ready SUV on the market, but we think it is worth the wait and the price.Under the hood of the Expedition Tremor is a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, which, considering the Tremor's 5,284-pound curb weight, is good for sub-5-second sprint times and some decent fuel returns.It does surprise us that Ford waited for so long before letting us get hold of a full-size SUV that is made for specialized off-road use and more than shipping the kids around in style because of how popular the full-size segment is, and considering how popular the Raptor truck trims are for off-road enthusiasts, but it is finally here. What Ford has done here, with the new Expedition Tremor, is given those of us with families who are looking to combine adventure, usability, and everyday comfort in one usable package.Amee Reehal | TopSpeedAlso, considering some of Ford's biggest competitors in the full-size segment, we are surprised that it has taken so long. Take Land Rover, Jeep, and Chevrolet. They have been offering beefy off-road models for years in the shape of the almighty Land Rover Defender, the Jeep Wagoneer, which is available with adjustable air suspension and selectable off-road modes, and, what can be seen as one of the new Expedition Tremor's toughest rivals, the Chevrolet Tahoe ZR1, which in its latest flavors, boasts a two-speed transfer case, Hill Descent, and underbody skid plates. Ford is finally entering the fray with a full-size trail monster of its own, and we think it is going to shake things up. More Than A Package Amee Reehal | TopSpeedAside from the Tremor trim, this year's Ford Expedition is available in three other trims; the entry-level Expedition Active ($62,320), the slightly more luxurious Expedition Platinum ($74,450), and the top-of-the-range Expedition Platinum ($83,975), but if you are looking for full-size off-road fun, it has to be the Expedition Tremor package.Amee Reehal | TopSpeedIf you are serious about off-roading, the Tremor package should wet your whistle because it is built to act like a Raptor over the rough stuff thanks to it boasting 33-inch all-terrain tires, front and rear stabilizers, a fully-boxed frame, modified Raptor skid plates for the front and transmission underbody, fuel tank protection, a 28mm heavy-duty radiator, trailer sway control (if you fancy a bit of overlanding in it), an intelligent AWD system, that keeps you on track both on- and off-road, and modified high-ride suspension with premium passive shocks, that give you a maximum ground clearance of 10.6-inches and soaks up the bumps below your wheels. If that isn't enough, the Tremor comes equipped with some serious hardware and software to make iteasy for novices to look good in, and make experts look like off-roading legends.Amee Reehal | TopSpeed3.73 Electronic Locking Rear Differential. Ideal for crawling over rough terrain and locks both rear wheels together at the same speed to give you max traction. Multi-Link Independent Rear Suspension. With up to 9.4-inches of travel, this coil-spring setup boosts wheel contact and comfort. Trail Control. Effectively Ford's version of "off-road cruise control", this system handles throttle and braking for you at slow speeds and over technical terrain to avoid wheel spin. AdvanceTrac w/ RSC. Utilizes ABS and traction control to simulate diff locks. Hill Start Assist & Hill Descent Control. Hill Start Assist holds brake pressure automatically to prevent rollback on steep ascents, while Hill Descent Control helps to keep you at a steady low speed going downhill. Integrated Trailer Brake Controller w/ Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package. This factory-installed in-cab brake control applies trailer brakes in proportion to the Expedition's brakes, so you get some smooth stopping power when you are towing. This package also includes upgraded axles, a hitch, and transmission cooler. To top off that Ford has designed the Expedition Tremor for off-road use, they have also added a unique off-road front grille with painted Carbonized Gray bars and a painted Ebony Black Mesh, running boards with angular steps, so it is easy to hop in and out, and roof rail crossbars, to make it easy to take what you need, wherever you want to take it.Amee Reehal | TopSpeed This Tremor's Performance If you go for a Ranger Raptor, you get a 405-horsepower EcoBoost V6, and if you go for an F-150 Raptor, you get a 450-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 to handle its 5,710-pound curb weight, but the lighter Expedition Tremor slots in the middle of the middle of the two with a heavy-hitting V6 of its own. Under the hood of the Expedition Tremor is a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, which, considering the Tremor's 5,284-pound curb weight, is good for sub-5-second sprint times and some decent fuel returns. According to Fuel Economy.gov, the new Tremor can achieve a combined MPG rating of 18 MPG (15 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway).Amee Reehal | TopSpeedZero to 60 MPH times are also very good, despite its hefty weight and gargantuan dimensions of 209.9-inches x 94.6-inches x 78.1-inches, all riding on a 122.5-inch wheelbase, while you also get a decent work rate considering its luxurious yet off-road ready breeding. Its 9,600-pound towing capacity beats out the likes of the 2025 Lexus LX (8,000-pounds), the new Defender 130 (8,201-pounds), the GMC Yukon (8,400-pounds), the Lexus GX 550 (9,096-pounds), and the 2025 Toyota Sequoia (9,520-pounds).Amee Reehal | TopSpeedIt can even out-tow truck models like the Jeep Gladiator, which can muster just 7,700-pounds in the towing department, and the 2025 GMC Canyon, which can tow the same amount. All-in-all, Ford are offering a serious bit of kit with the new Expedition Tremor, and not just for the rough stuff. Ford's Full-Size SUV Looks The Part Amee Reehal | TopSpeedWhat you also get with the Tremor is a full-size SUV that wouldn't look out of place on the school run or commuting to work (if everyday SUV-ing is your thing) while also being totally set up for hitting the trails. You get an off-road-ready stance that is built to impress with heavy-duty tow hooks, 18-inch Dark Carbonized Gray aluminum wheels with Electric Spice-painted pockets, high fender wells, black window surrounds, dark lower bumper accents, that make it look not only rock-steady but also rather plush, and a darkened signature "Expedition" script plastered across the tailgate to match its overall alure.Amee Reehal | TopSpeedInside, you also get everything you could ask for in a luxury full-size SUV. Tremor-exclusive touches include leather-trimmed, heated front and second-row seats with unique Electric Spice contrast stitching and a flashy Termor logo woven into the front seats, while the doors feature Black Onyx trim with matching stitching, and at the heart of the dash sits a Ford "Digital Experience" interface; a 24-inch panoramic display paired with a 13.2-inch touchscreen which runs Ford's SYNC 4 infotainment system.Amee Reehal | TopSpeedAmong all the luxury, in the shape of ambient lighting and wireless connectivity, and an impressive sound system in the form of a Bang & Olufsen setup, practicality isn't forgotten about, and you get a "Flex Powered Console", which slides back to enhance second-row access, a Split Gate tailgate with integrated Cargo Tailgate Manager, and tri-zone climate control for you and your passengers. Seemingly, Ford has made the wait worth it and have thrown an awful amount at the new Expedition Tremor. 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor Photos 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor off roading-26
