Ford Is Lifting a Mustang Mach-E Feature for the 2022 Expedition

The 2022 Expedition is getting a big update from the
Mustang Mach-E
—an optional, massive 15.5-inch touchscreen display. While this new feature certainly adds appeal to Ford’s biggest SUV, there are plenty of other reasons to take a second glance at the 2022 Expedition. One of the main benefits that Ford
can now offer, according to Consumer Reports, are over-the-air-updates to the 2022 Expedition’s Infotainment system. For drivers, this means getting tweaks and improvements automatically over the lifespan of owning their 2022 Expedition; but Ford has packed more added benefits into their flagship SUV, one of the few of its size that’s recommended by
Consumer Reports

The 15.5-inch touch display coming to the 2022 Ford Expedition
Borrowed from the Mustang Mach-E, the simply massive 15.5-inch display is optional in the 2022 Expedition but certainly adds a “wow” factor to one of the few full-sized SUVs that passed Consumer Reports’ road test.
Compared with the standard 12-inch screen, the larger unit is reported to be intuitive to use, but with new features, including customized driver settings that could take some time for new owners to figure out.
With its larger size, the 15.5-inch display also forces the climate control settings down low on the center console arrangement, which might be an uncomfortable position for taller drivers.
Though this feature from the Mustang Mach-E might appeal to some, the added controls and re-arranged center console could be a bit overwhelming for drivers who aren’t looking for the extra bells and whistles.
The 2022 Expedition: key features
New vehicles are primed to come with a lot of tech these days, and Ford has been leading the pack, in some regards. Consumer Reports indicates that, along with trimming 300 lbs of curb weight off of the 2022 Expedition, Ford also added:
- Standard automatic emergency braking
- Standard pedestrian warning system
- More comfortable front row seating
- A new Timberline off-road package with a powerful turbocharged V-6, cranking out 440 hp
- A heavy-duty tow package that increases standard pulling power from 6,000 lbs to 9,300 lbs
Another highlight? The 2022 Expedition also received a 5-star side-crash rating from the NHTSA. Along with its standard detection system, this SUV certainly doesn’t skimp on safety.
Does the 2022 Expedition have weak points?
A few. While it’s one of the few full-sized SUVs that are recommended by Consumer Reports, the 2022 Ford Expedition does suffer somewhat in terms of size and fuel economy.
On the road, the 2022 Expedition struggles to remain fuel-efficient, averaging 11 mpg in town, and a moderate 23 mpg on the highway. This massive SUV doesn’t handle well in emergency steering situations, and has a notoriously stiff suspension, due to its size.
But thanks to a stellar crash test rating, it’s possible that drivers may overlook these derogatory marks. And with

, the 2022 Expedition may be able to maneuver its way out of some tight situations. Car insurance your new SUV
