What speakers are in a Ford Expedition?
The Ford Expedition’s cabin audio setup varies by trim and year. The most common configuration is an 8-speaker system on base trims, with a premium 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen setup available on higher-level trims.
Two core configurations that shape the sound
Below are the two main configurations you’re likely to see in contemporary Expeditions, along with the trims that typically carry them.
- 8-speaker Ford Audio System: standard on entry trims such as XL and XLT.
- Bang & Olufsen Premium Sound System: 12 speakers, included on upper trims (Limited, Limited MAX, King Ranch, Platinum) and/or available as part of a package depending on the model year.
In practice, the choice of speakers correlates with your trim level and options—base Expeditions sound solid, but the Bang & Olufsen upgrade delivers a noticeably richer, more immersive audio experience across the cabin.
Bang & Olufsen Premium Sound System: What it adds
The Bang & Olufsen Premium Sound System is a key upgrade when you move beyond the base model. It typically features 12 speakers distributed around the interior, an enhanced amplifier, and advanced sound processing designed to improve clarity, depth, and staging for all three rows of seating.
Availability by trim and year
In recent model years, the 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen system has been offered on higher-end Expeditions such as Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum, and may be included as standard on some configurations or offered as an upgrade. Always check the specific window sticker or dealer configuration for your exact build.
Summary
Across model years, the Ford Expedition generally offers two main speaker configurations: an 8-speaker standard system on base trims and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium system on upper trims. If you want the strongest audio experience, target an Expedition equipped with the Bang & Olufsen upgrade and verify its inclusion on your particular vehicle.
