The Things You Can Do with the 2025 Ford Expedition’s Split Tailgate

Imagine it was football season again. You’re out in the parking lot of Williams-Bruce Stadium rooting for USC. You plan on putting together a tailgate party like no other. Or imagine you’re preparing for a picnic out of town. The weather is perfect—not too hot nor cold. You bring everything to make the day as perfect as the weather. You can do this with any vehicle. However, the 2025 Ford Expedition has the perfect solution for you to make these moments truly magical. 

Ford calls it the Split Gate. The 2025 Expedition’s Split Gate creates a hang-out space with reconfigurable cargo management that transforms the rear area into a table or stadium seating.  

With cargo management as a priority, the new Ford Split Gate makes every 2025 Expedition the only vehicle in its class that combines the best of a traditional SUV liftgate with the cargo management of a pickup truck tailgate. The upper three-quarters of the gate raises like a traditional liftgate, while the lower quarter folds down like a truck’s tailgate.   

The lower part of the Split Gate is designed to support up to 500 pounds. It also includes an available seatback from the available Cargo Tailgate Manager. The seatback transforms to turn the tailgate into a serving table or a shelf. There are power outlets in the cargo area just an arm’s length away.  

The Split Gate adds optionality when it comes to what you can bring in the 2025 Expedition. Taking a kayak to the river? Just lower the tailgate for extra-long items. This also utilizes the long center aisle inside the cabin.  

Use your imagination again. While you and your friends are mingling before any of USC’s athletic events, you can add some Gamecock pride while hanging out at the rear of your 2025 Expedition. Picnics, campgrounds, tide watching near Charleston, your kids’ league games—the possibilities using the Split Gate are endless. 

Versatility, which makes the 2025 Expedition a game-changing large SUV, includes the Flex Powered Center Console. This special feature adds easy storage access for first and second rows. This is one of the many practical and flexible features now available on the 2025 Expedition.  

The 2025 Ford Expedition was developed with you and everyone you take with you—even the items you carry just once—in mind. This multifaceted new SUV is coming soon to Dick Smith Ford of Columbia. Contact us to let us know that you cannot wait to see one soon.
