Exterior Design
When you purchase a 2020 Ford Expedition Platinum, you can enjoy luxurious features from the inside out. Ford outfits this trim level with 22-inch six-spoke aluminum wheels that sport pockets painted with a dark tarnish to add depth. All-season tires come standard, as well as a full-size spare that is mounted on the vehicle’s underbody. The Platinum has a satin-aluminum trim on the exterior and features power running boards.
Like all of the Expeditions in the 2020 lineup, you have a choice between a standard-length large SUV or a Max version, which adds over 9 inches to the wheelbase.
Power and Performance Capabilities
The Expedition Platinum comes with a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine, which gives you 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. They then pair this engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Though four-wheel drive is available as an upgrade, all Expeditions come standard with rear-wheel drive. The Platinum comes with a 28.3-gallon fuel tank and gets 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.
This vehicle offers stability and power, which is made evident by features like its independent rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, electronic stability control, traction control, and continuously controlled damping suspension. Additionally, when you configure the Expedition correctly, you can easily tow as much as 9,300 pounds. The standard trailer sway control makes towing even easier and safer.
Interior
The three rows of seats in the 2020 Ford Expedition Platinum provide enough seating for up to five passengers. When you opt for the extended Max version, those extra 9 inches give you ample legroom in the rear seat and even bigger cargo capacity. Every Platinum has luxurious leather seats, active noise control in the cabin, a unique wood trim, and power-folding second- and third-row seats, making it easy to reconfigure the interior to meet your needs.
Safety Features
With the 2020 Ford Expedition Platinum, you get all kinds of enhanced safety features and driver aids that are part of Ford’s Co-Pilot360 suite. Some of the standard safety features include dual-stage front air bags, three-point safety belts, a safety canopy system, side-impact air bags, child safety locks for the rear doors, a lower anchors and tethers for children system to secure child seats, inflatable rear safety belts, and disc brakes with an anti-lock system on all four wheels. On top of that, the Platinum comes with a rearview camera with grid lines for backup assistance, a 360-degree camera, and an SOS post-crash alert system.
