Consumer Guide
Mammoth SUVs like the 2013 Ford Expedition don't come with much of a green expectation, so there's no surprise here, with 14/20 mpg ratings when it's equipped with rear-wheel drive and just 13/18 with four-wheel drive.
Again, we suspect that Ford is giving the Expedition short shrift because while the F-150 pickup line--from which the Expedition is derived--now has a new lineup of V-8 and V-6 powerplants that have boosted its fuel economy considerably, these powertrains are still missing from the Expedition.
Finally, it's always worth considering the use of the vehicle. If you plan to put all three rows of seating to work most of the time, the Expedition's useful efficiency becomes that much better. Keep the Expedition in the garage until it's really needed, and it's considerably greener.
Conclusion
Gas mileage numbers for the 2013 Expedition remain unimpressive.
