While its safety features are mostly hidden away unseen until needed, the Expedition's full array of luxury and convenience items are immediately noticeable. Leather is everywhere and fortunately faux wood is not, replaced with stylish brushed aluminum trim. Between the big comfortable power adjustable front seats is a massive center console with a huge covered storage bin twin cupholders. The seats themselves feature heated/air-conditioned cushions with no less than five temperature levels.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel includes buttons for cruise and audio functions, the latter also accessible in the usual place on the center stack. The sound system itself is quite good, with an in-dash 6-disc CD player as part of the package. Its HVAC controls are easy to operate and defog the big truck in no time at all. Those in the middle row also can adjust the heat-A/C and/or radio controls while those in the very back have to make due merely with their very own cupholders.
