If you’re searching for the perfect full-size SUV to support your family’s busy life, look no further than the 2025 Ford Expedition — recently named the 2026 Car Mom Car of the Year by The Car Mom, Kelly Stumpe, a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician and mom of four.
In her detailed review, Stumpe highlights how the 2025 Ford Expedition shines where it matters most to families: functionality, flexibility, and real-world usability — not just specs on a sheet.
Designed With Families in Mind
What sets the Expedition apart is how thoughtfully it was engineered for everyday family life. Unlike many SUVs that technically offer a third row, Stumpe notes that the Expedition’s third-row seating is genuinely usable — with proper legroom, ventilation, charging ports, and cup holders that make it comfortable for both kids and adults alike.
But where the Expedition truly wins is in its car seat flexibility. With three-across car-seat compatibility, lower anchors even in the third row, and the ability to slide and tilt second-row seats even with a rear-facing car seat installed, it makes everyday tasks like school drop-off and long trips much easier. Stumpe calls this car-seat tilt feature a “game changer.”
Plenty of Space and Cargo Versatility
Whether you’re hauling sports gear, groceries, strollers, or luggage, the Expedition doesn’t disappoint. The SUV offers generous cargo capacity and smart storage solutions, especially in the Expedition MAX variant. Features like the split tailgate and modular cargo shelf add practical convenience for loading and organizing everything your family needs for any adventure.
Technology That Makes Sense
The interior blends comfort with modern tech that supports — not overwhelms — drivers and passengers. A large infotainment display keeps controls intuitive and accessible, while Ford’s available BlueCruise hands-free driving assistance is a major plus for long highway journeys.
Recognized for Real-World Family Use
This Car Mom award isn’t based on marketing claims — it’s driven by practical testing and honest evaluation of how a vehicle performs in the real lives of active families. The Expedition stood out in areas where it truly counts: safety, space, comfort, and everyday usability.
