My 2013 does not have a filter external of the fuel tank. Rock auto indicated i had one, which I ordered, only to find my expedition didn't have one. Appears to be some different experiences out there, so best to look and follow the fuel line from the tank up and check yourself.

My 2015 XLT has an external filter inside the frame rail..
I was just under my son’s 2016 and it also has an external filter inside the frame rail.
The only “filter” in the tanks are small filter “socks” that fit over the pump pickup tube.

No external filter on the 2011 either. Part of the pump assembly. Basically gets rinsed by the gas in the tank.

As others have stated, it is in the tank and part of the fuel pump assembly. Just had mine replaced a few months ago. BD (Bad Design)

Post of picture of the 2015’s external fuel filter.

I bought a new 2015 Expedition and it did not have an external fuel filter.
