2022 Expedition brings the most available Driver-Assist Technology features in its class1

Every 2022 Ford Expedition comes with standard and available driver-assist features. These

include:

?

?

Road Edge Detection: This feature engages the steering system to help you maintain your

position in the lane on roads with a visible line or a clear edge8

Intersection Assist: It¡¯s not easy to traverse a busy intersection, especially when you need to

consider other vehicles around you. Available Intersection Assist can help. Intersection

Assist uses the front camera and radar sensors to detect oncoming traffic while you are

attempting to turn left. If there¡¯s a risk of a potential collision with an oncoming vehicle, your

vehicle can alert you and apply the brakes. This just might give you more confidence when

attempting to make a left turn at an intersection8

Reverse Brake Assist: Backing out of parking spaces often puts drivers in situations with

limited visibility, so this feature senses oncoming pedestrians and vehicles, alerts the driver,

and automatically brakes if the vehicle is at risk of a collision8

Evasive Steering Assist: It happens. Traffic is rolling along smoothly when suddenly there¡¯s

a slow or stopped vehicle in your path. This available feature can help make it easier to

potentially avoid a collision. It doesn¡¯t steer for you, but it can provide extra steering support

if the system¡¯s warning goes off and you need to maneuver around the vehicle ahead8

Active Air Dam: This available new feature improves aerodynamics, deploying at speeds

above 40 mph then automatically retracting at lower speeds for city driving and parking8

Smarter, simpler, greater towing

As customers seek out more adventures with their outdoor lifestyle toys, the 2022 Expedition

SUV features available easier ways to hitch and manage a trailer ¨C turning any driver looking to

back into a campsite or down a boat ramp into a seasoned pro.7

Pro Trailer Backup Assist? 2.0 uses the rear camera and park aid sensors to detect a trailer,

with the user directing it through a control knob and backup camera screen. Version 2.0

improves on the previous system that required the driver to put a ¡°target¡± on the trailer and to input trailer dimensions ¨C automating all of that for a more seamless user experience.8

Expedition tows up to 9,300 pounds when equipped with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package.7

The 2022 Ford Expedition is assembled at Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky, and will

go on sale in the first quarter of 2022.9
