The Ford Expedition has recently garnered numerous accolades, including surpassing the Chevy Tahoe to be named a superior purchase, earning the 2022 and 2023 Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award, and securing a spot on the Best Family Cars list by KBB for 2021 and 2022. Now, the Ford Expedition has achieved a three-peat, once again securing a position on the KBB Best Family Cars list for 2023.Â
Why the Ford Expedition is the Ultimate Family SUV
The Ford Expedition has been selected once again as one of the best new vehicle options for families seeking a three-row SUV. KBB noted that “the Ford Expedition checks all the boxes” for families seeking maximum capability, comfort, and convenience. The Expedition has a massive interior with available 3-row seating, two size options, a powerful engine, and the latest tech features. It can haul the whole family and lots of cargo while towing a boat without breaking a sweat, with decent gas mileage for an SUV of its size.Â
