Drive a Expedition EL
An Expedition EL SUV rental puts you behind the wheel of a stretched, full-size, three-row SUV built 2007–2017. It's 15 in longer than the regular-length version and seats up to eight — so nobody gets stuck in the cramped seat. Line it up against other SUV rentals on Turo to see how it fits your trip.
On Turo, you book the exact Expedition EL you see in the listing from a local vehicle owner, right in the Turo app. You'll arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans, and you can add Extras like child safety seats before you go.

Cargo space that packs in the whole trip
The Expedition EL gives you 42.6 cu ft of cargo space behind the third row — versus 18.6 cu ft in the regular-length version. Fold the third row and you get 85.5 cu ft, or drop both rear rows for up to 130.8 cu ft. The EL was built to take on long-wheelbase rivals, so compare it with a Chevrolet Suburban rental when you're packing for a crowd.
EcoBoost power with up to 9,200 lbs of towing
A 3.5L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 gives the 2017 Expedition EL 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic puts that power to work, so you've got real muscle for highway merges with every seat full. It also runs on regular unleaded, which keeps fill-ups simple.
Properly equipped, the EL tows up to 9,200 lbs — or 6,600 lbs without the tow package. That's enough to bring a boat or camper along for a lake weekend. Check the listing for towing details and confirm the tow package before you book.
A smoother ride and flexible three-row seating
An independent rear suspension helps the Expedition EL soak up bumps for a smoother ride. That matters when you've got a full cabin and hours of interstate ahead.
Inside, the second row slides and reclines, so you can shift legroom between rows as your crew needs it. The third row folds into the floor when you need more cargo space, and upper trims add PowerFold to handle the folding for you. Give tall riders room up front, let the kids stretch out in back, or pack to the ceiling — the cabin adapts.
Stand out with a Expedition EL
The Expedition EL shines when you're moving a lot of people and a lot of gear at once. Think large families on vacation, group trips to a wedding, airport runs with a mountain of luggage, or a youth team headed to a tournament.

Top Expedition EL features
A third-generation classic with EL-to-MAX lineage
Three things set the EL apart: its long-wheelbase lineage, SYNC 3 tech on 2017 models, and comforts that build with each trim.
The Expedition EL name covered the long-wheelbase model 2007–2017, all within its third generation. For 2018, the stretched version took a new name — Expedition MAX — and carried the same big-cabin formula forward. When you book an EL, you're driving the model that started the long-wheelbase story.
That gives you three-row space with a bit of history behind it. Model years on Turo vary, so check the listing for the exact year and trim you're booking. Then you'll know which features, seating layout, and tech are waiting for you at pickup.
SYNC 3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
On 2017 models, the Expedition EL offers SYNC 3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can pull your phone's maps, playlists, and messages onto the center screen, and use voice commands for calls and texts. That's a real perk on a long drive when the front-seat passenger is busy refereeing the back rows.
Earlier model years came with different tech setups, so features vary from year to year. If phone mirroring matters for your trip, check the listing for the model year. Confirm the features before you book so your navigation and playlists are ready when you are.
Comforts that build with each trim
The Expedition EL came in four trims: XLT, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum. Available features include a power liftgate and adjustable pedals — handy when drivers of different heights trade off at the wheel.
Upper trims add rear-seat dual-screen entertainment to keep back-row passengers busy on long drives. King Ranch models offer power-deployable running boards, which make climbing in easier for kids and grandparents alike. Every listing on Turo shows the trim and features, so you can choose the comforts that matter most for your crew.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Expedition EL
Get to know your Expedition EL
Here's what to know about the EL's features, size, fuel needs, and pricing before you book.
The Expedition EL is the stretched version of the standard model, with the extra length going toward cargo space behind the third row. Features vary by model year and trim, so check the listing first. Look for the seating layout (up to eight, or seven with second-row captain's chairs), SYNC 3, and the tow package.
Want the latest tech? Look at a newer Ford Expedition rental. Traveling with a smaller group? A midsize Ford Explorer rental might fit better. And for open-air touring on scenic byways, an adventurous Ford Bronco rental brings the sunshine in.
Expedition EL driving tips
Give yourself extra room — the Expedition EL stretches about 221 in long on a 131-in wheelbase, with a 43.9-ft turning diameter. Take parking garages slowly, swing wide on tight turns, and look for pull-through spaces when you park. Use the rearview camera (standard on the 2017 XLT) and parking sensors, if equipped, to back in with confidence.
Plan fuel stops on long drives. The EL averages 16 mpg combined, and its 33.5-gal tank gives you a solid buffer between gas stations. Towing cuts fuel economy, so fill up more often when you're pulling a trailer.
How much does it cost to rent a Expedition EL?
The price of an Expedition EL rental depends on the model year, trim, trip length, location, Extras, and delivery. Many listings offer duration discounts on longer trips, so a weeklong family vacation can cost less per day than a quick weekend away.
Need it for a month or more? Look into a long-term car rental for extended stays, school breaks, or a temporary move. Check the listing for the full price breakdown before you book.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
