For 2011, changes to the Ford Expedition and Expedition Max are in trim, and there are fewer levels this year. The King Ranch is not available. The regular-wheelbase Expedition comes in XLT and Limited Trim, while the long-wheelbase Expedition Max comes only in Eddie Bauer trim.

The Limited exchanges polished aluminum wheels for chrome-clad ones, and the available rear-seat DVD system now has its screens in the front head restraints, rather than overhead.

Two new packages are available for the XLT. The Premium Package adds dual-zone automatic climate control, premium single CD stereo with subwoofer, ten-way power heated and cooled leather-trimmed seats, driver’s side memory, third-row 60/40 power-folding seat, power liftgate, Pale Adobe exterior accent colour, leather-wrapped shifter knob, woodgrain interior accents, 110-volt power outlet, 18-inch machined aluminum wheels, rearview camera, and rain-sensing wipers. The Leather Seating Package adds ten-way driver and six-way passenger power leather-trimmed seats, and third-row 60/40 power-folding seat.

The Expedition is available in regular wheelbase or in an extended model, called the Max. Both versions use a 5.4-litre V8 with six-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive with electronic transfer case. All have three rows of seats.

Features on the XLT include 17-inch alloy wheels, front and rear air conditioning, black heated mirrors, front tow hooks, roof rack, trailer hitch receiver, cruise control, auto up/down windows, keyless entry, exterior keypad, tilt leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, power-adjustable pedals, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, illuminated vanity mirrors, garage door opener, cloth seats with power driver’s adjustment, floor mats, cargo light, CD/MP3 stereo, Sync, automatic headlamps, fog lamps, variable intermittent wipers, rear wiper, trip computer, outside temperature display, and reverse sensing system.

The Eddie Bauer Max adds cargo tray and organizer.
