Families, no matter their size, need an everyday vehicle that is reliable, safe, and comfortable. Ford offers a wide range of family-friendly models that meet these criteria. Here at your local Ford dealership, we’re proud to help you find the perfect vehicle to fit your family’s needs. We have a large selection available, so let’s explore a few family models in closer detail.

1. 2025 Ford Expedition

The Ford Expedition is Ford’s most spacious SUV, purpose-built for large families who need both seating capacity and storage. This SUV can comfortably seat up to 8 passengers and still leave plenty of room for luggage, sports gears, or groceries. The sliding second-row seat allows for easy access to the third row, even with a child seat installed. Parents will also appreciate the available rear-seat entertainment system that keeps kids occupied on long drives.

The Expedition offers a powerful twin-turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine, producing 400 hp or up to 440 hp with the High-Output variant. Torque in either setup is 480 lb-ft, which helps contribute to the Expedition’s 9,600-pound maximum towing capacity with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package.

2. 2025 Ford Explorer

The Ford Explorer is a three-row midsize SUV that offers families ample space, solid performance, and innovative technology. Seating up to 7 passengers, the Explorer has received an interior refresh for 2025, now sporting a 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen powered by Google. The Explorer features optional hands-free driving with BlueCruise technology. This driver-assistance system adds convenience during already-tiring road trips, allowing you to arrive more refreshed.

Under the hood, the Explorer offers a choice between a 300-hp 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine or a 400-hp V6 engine in the ST model. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain options are also available, offering families significant savings at the pump.

3. 2025 Ford Escape

For smaller families who need a more compact vehicle that doesn’t skimp on versatility, the Escape is a top contender. It offers seating for five and boasts a flexible cargo area with a sliding second-row seat, which adds nearly six inches of legroom or expands trunk space as needed. Despite its compact size, the Escape includes modern tech, with the same infotainment set-up as the Explorer.

Like the Explorer, multiple powertrain options are available, including a 1.5L or 2.0L EcoBoost engine, a hybrid powertrain, or a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The hybrid model can achieve well over 40 MPG in the city, making it an ideal daily commuter.
