While some SUV manufacturers might try to lure customers in with promises of more horsepower, more room, or top-tier towing capability, there’s one job a family SUV has that comes before all others: get everyone to the destination safely. And while the 2024 Ford Expedition has hundreds of horsepower, loads of legroom, and over 9,000 pounds of towing capability, its best feature is how it cares for the people who matter most.
5 Smart Safety Features of the 2024 Ford Expedition
1. Radar-Enhanced Cruise Control
With Ford’s Co-Pilot360 technology on board, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go comes standard, using radar and other sensors to help maintain safe following distances at highway speeds and slowing the Expedition to a stop if traffic hits a snag. That helps maximize reaction time and keep your family safer on the road.
2. Blind Spot Monitoring
For generations, drivers had no way to be sure what was happening in their blind spots. But the Expedition offers standard Blind Spot Information System coverage, helping drivers change lanes with confidence on the highway and pull out of parking spots with ease. A rear Cross-Traffic Alert is included, offering additional protection when backing out of parking spots, especially when paired with the standard rearview camera.
3. Driver Drowsiness Detection
Study after study has indicated that tired driving is exceptionally dangerous, and the Expedition is here to help. If the vehicle detects that you’re driving drowsy, your attention starts to wander, or your performance deteriorates for any reason, the Driver Alert will pop on, suggesting you take a brief rest to help you maintain alertness on the road ahead.
4. Pre-Collision Assistance
The best kind of crash is the one you never get into at all. Pre-Collision Assist comes standard on the Expedition, helping detect objects ahead and engaging the brakes on your behalf, helping the Expedition stop quickly in an emergency.
5. Three Rows of Canopy Coverage
Should all else fail and the worst occur, the Expedition has your family covered. If a significant side impact or a rollover occurs, the Safety Canopy airbags deploy to offer side-curtain protection to occupants in all three rows. Along with front airbags, side airbags, and knee airbags for both driver and passenger, the Expedition offers substantial protection in a crash. And peace of mind comes easy; the NHTSA gave the 2024 Expeditions a full five stars in their crash tests.
With the technology and design to keep your family safe on the road, the Expedition is ready to show exactly what else it can do to make family adventures easy and enjoyable. So bring the family and stop by Clay Maxey Ford in Harrison, AR, and find out what this safe and adventurous SUV can do for you.
