Protecting your SUV in BC could not be easier with the 2021 Ford Expedition – thanks to its SecuriLock engine immobilization feature that is included as standard. This passive anti-theft system consists of a transmitter embedded in both the vehicle and your keys plus an on-board computer.
These transmitters have electronically programmed codes within them, and they must sync to the on-board computer before the engine can start. There is no need for you to arm or program the system, either – just hop into the driver’s seat, and everything happens automatically. Then once you remove your key from the ignition, the protection features activate themselves again. Don't worry about replacing batteries either, because the emitter embedded in your fob works without them; it runs off of the small amount of energy from the Expedition itself instead.

A comfortable, bump-free ride around BC can be yours in the 2021 Ford Expedition. It has independent front and rear suspensions with a fully-boxed frame to make every adventure smooth and stable.This style of suspension lets each wheel on the same axle move up and down independently. As a result, bumps and obstacles in the road that hit one tire won’t affect the others, affording a more comfortable ride with better traction to boot.
It doesn’t stop there because the independent wheels are better for cornering; they handle curves smoothly and offer enhanced feedback to you while turning. This also makes the SUV safer and more sure-footed, as no one tire can upset the whole vehicle. The included front and rear stabilizer bars add further protection, too – letting you head off-road with extra confidence on BC’s trails.

When driving your hybrid vehicle around BC, the 2021 Ford Escape plug-in edition lets you make smart use of its charge; choose from one of four modes perfectly tailored to different conditions. In the Auto EV setting, this SUV can decide on its own if it should be in electric or gasoline operation, but if you prefer just the battery alone, then select EV Now.And for trips that require electrical power towards the end, put the Escape into the EV Later setting. This causes the gasoline engine to run first, and the battery will kick in afterwards – ideal for heading off the highway into city driving.
Finally, there’s EV Charge mode, which uses the gasoline engine to top-up the battery as you drive around BC. That way, you can save up miles and navigate electrically later for maximum flexibility.

Stopping a car might seem simple, but the advanced technology included in the 2021 Ford Expedition Platinum MAX's Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) system takes ABS to the next level. Using the SUV’s yaw sensors as well as speed and steering angle monitoring, it can respond dynamically to shifting conditions in BC.For example, if you take a corner too fast and under-steer, causing the SUV to continue heading straight, EBD can apply the brakes dynamically on each tire to enhance grip and regain control. That way, no wheel experiences a lighter load, allowing ABS to work more effectively.
Furthermore, EBD responds to conditions inside too. If there’s lots of cargo in the trunk, for instance, it can modulate ABS accordingly to avoid loss of control during stops. You also get a more sure-footed grip on slippery surfaces because addressing each wheel individually helps prevent skidding.

No need to fear winter drives in BC with the 2021 Ford Escape and its available Cold Weather Package. This handy set of add-ons contains lots of enhancements to make driving in chilly conditions safer and more comfortable.You get heated front row seats that keep the chill off, while a wrapped self-warming steering wheel guarantees your hands remain toasty, too. And to help make sure your Escape is ready to drive as soon as you step inside, a remote starter lets you activate it from afar.
Passengers aren’t forgotten, either, with a rear air duct directly channelling warm air to them. Meanwhile, to keep your vision clear, the heated side-view mirrors stay free of snow during flurries, while Electronic Automatic Temperature Control takes care of maintaining optimal conditions by itself, so you can focus on the road ahead.

There are lots of four-wheel-drive systems out there, but the 2021 Ford Expedition has Intelligent 4WD with a Terrain Management System (TMS) as standard.

In Normal, it’s set for everyday motoring around town, while Eco helps conserve fuel on longer journeys.
Switch to Sport mode for more demanding trips, or use Sand on low-traction surfaces. You get three different settings for tricky terrain: Grass, Gravel, and Snow. And, if you have to plow into the swamps and muck around BC, select Mud or Ruts to get through the stickiest of conditions.

Long road trips through BC can get boring, but not in the 2021 Ford Expedition XLT. When you select the available Dual-Headrest Rear Seat Entertainment System, you’ll receive a wealth of entertainment options.

Each monitor includes an infrared sensor to sync with the included wireless headphones; but, if you want acoustics that fill this SUV with booming base, then opt for the 12-speaker B&O Sound System.
Don’t worry about keeping your gadgets powered-up, either, because a maximum of six available USB receptacles are at hand, along with 12-volt outlets. A wireless charger can be installed in the centre console, as well, to prevent fights for ports during trips across BC.

2021 Ford Expedition Smoothly Shifts Gears on Your BC Drives

The 10-Speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission on the 2021 Ford Expedition is truly a marvel of engineering. It smooths out every trip through BC and helps keep you in control, too.With a wide-ratio span and optimized gear spacing, this transmission offers better performance and responsiveness during acceleration. For example, if you’re at a red light and it turns green, SelectShift can actually skip speeds (like 1 to 3 to 5) as you start rolling to reach your desired velocity faster and keep the engine's RPM steady.
Or it can drop some to help if required. If you’re travelling at speed 10 but must accelerate to pass traffic on a BC highway, the transmission can shift down a few gears (such as 10 to 6) to hasten the process and allow better controllability. It’s able to do this during braking, too, for smoother stops.
