My 0-60 MPH 2023 Ford Expedition Max Limited

[Alex Taylor]

Just ran this, it appears to be right at 6 seconds with a full gas tank (28 gallon tank, so +224 lbs right there) on 91 Octane (sadly 93 is not available in Arizona) and a Max which of course weighs more. It feels much faster than even my tuned Ford Expedition Platinum Max but do you all think it's fast/slow/right where it should be?

This motor feels much stronger than in my 2020 Expedition despite on paper them being (nearly) identical in HP & TQ.

Sadly it still remains slower than my 2004 E55 AMG. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wffK2MQWylo

Right at 6 seconds sound about right. Cant really explain the buttdyno saying it’s quicker than a tuned EB.

I agree. I’m a huge car junkie and have been for 60 years. I’ve done some drag racing in Corvettes and road raced Motorcyles.

I’ve read all the tests I can find and 6.0 on a max sounds about right. The sweet spot though is to put it in Sport mode, hold steady at 45 mph and nail it. It’s someone stunning at how hard it accelerates For what it is. BTW, mine is a rear drive non-Max with the 3.73 axle

Do you have the 304a package?

You have to have it in at least 4A for traction, if not it will reduce power so the rear tires wont spin.
Boost doesn't build until you shift into 2nd gear.

Awesome thanks everybody. I have the tow package as well so the gear ratio probably helps just a bit much appreciated. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everybody.

Is this true? You have to keep it in 4a so that you you get the full power in sport mode?

Haha - I always switched it back to 2h after going in sport mode and never realized this would just reduce power....

BTW, do you ever confused with the other Alex Taylor “gear head” on TV?

No, power is the same, traction is not. If the rear spins, it pulls power unless you also turned off Traction Control. 4A will get you a better launch. My best 0-60's in our Tuned 2020 are Sport, 4A, Traction Control off, Stability Enabled(So single press), Simulated Lock engaged. Stand on brake, push RPM's to about 2500, and release brake.

If this has a tow pack and the other one does not, you will absolutely feel it. I test drove 2 back to back when before I bought mine, and holy hell the non tow pack was just absolutely LAZY in comparison because of the highway gears.
