Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0
Ford has always been on the cutting edge of innovation. The 2026 Expedition is equipped with several items that are a part of Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0. It’s a comprehensive suite of features that offer protection and oversight for peace of mind.

Adaptive Cruise Control helps you maintain a set speed when traveling on the highway, automatically adjusting according to traffic patterns, helping you preserve your reaction time. Lane Centering and Stop & Go provide further assistance.
