2003-2017 Ford Expedition

The 2003-2017 Expedition uses a circular or older-style vent design incompatible with the standard horizontal vent clip mounts found on most phones. The szyuchen mount is purpose-built for this vent configuration, clips on without tools or adhesive, and fits phones up to 7 inches wide with 360-degree rotation.

2018-2021 Ford Expedition

The 2018-2021 Expedition has the strongest custom mount selection of any Expedition generation with three confirmed picks covering dash install, vent MagSafe, and vent aluminum options.

Course Motorsports DirectFit — best dash install

The Course Motorsports DirectFit installs using existing factory screws in the Expedition dash — no drilling, no adhesive. CNC-machined aluminum bracket and pivot ball deliver a genuinely OEM-quality result. MagSafe-compatible magnetic head for iPhone 12 and newer. Android phones use the included steel plates. Installs in under five minutes. Does not fit Expeditions with a tow package knob in the dash — confirm your configuration before ordering.

APPS2Car MagSafe Vent Mount — best MagSafe vent option

The APPS2Car MagSafe vent mount is engineered specifically for the Ford vent bezel on this generation and grips it without wobble or misalignment. Twenty N55 magnets provide up to 25N of magnetic force — strong enough for rough roads and job site terrain. CNC-machined aluminum, rubber padding protects the vent. iPhone 12 and newer snap on natively. Android phones use the included metal ring.

Bulletpoint Aluminum Vent Mount — best premium vent option

The Bulletpoint aluminum vent mount is custom-fit to the 2015-2020 F-150, 2017-2022 Super Duty, and 2018-2021 Expedition vent bezel using laser measurements for a precise, zero-slip fit. All-aluminum construction, MagSafe compatible, includes metal plates for non-MagSafe phones. The anti-scratch rubber pad interfaces precisely with the Ford vent design. A strong premium vent alternative to the APPS2Car for owners who prefer Bulletpoint’s construction.

2022-2024 Ford Expedition

The 2022 Expedition received a significant interior refresh. At this time there are no confirmed 4-star or higher custom Amazon mounts for the 2022-2024 Expedition that we can recommend with confidence. The universal picks below — Andobil vent and iOttie windshield — work on all 2022-2024 trims without fitment concerns and are the reliable options until higher-rated generation-specific custom mounts are available.

2025-2026 Ford Expedition (13.2-inch screen)

The 2025-2026 Expedition uses a 13.2-inch screen across all trims. This magnetic screen mount is purpose-built for that specific screen configuration with magnetic phone attachment and charging support. Gravity auto-lock cradle for non-MagSafe phones, magnetic snap-on for MagSafe iPhones. No adhesive, no tools, no drilling.

Universal options for all years

These two picks work across every Expedition year and trim without any fitment concerns:

Andobil Air Vent Mount — all years with horizontal vents

The Andobil clips onto horizontal vent blades in under a minute — no tools, no fitment questions. Fits phones from 4.7 to 6.8 inches, one-touch release, 360-degree rotation. Works on 2018 and newer Expedition. Note: the 2003-2017 Expedition uses circular vents — use the szyuchen above for those years.

iOttie Easy One Touch 6 — all years

The Expedition has a large accessible windshield across all generations. The iOttie telescoping arm brings the phone into the driver’s sightline and the one-touch cradle makes removing the phone fast and one-handed. Works on the dash pad if windshield mounting is restricted in your state.

State law note: California, Minnesota, and several other states restrict windshield-mounted devices. Use the dash pad base or a custom dash mount if this applies to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What screen size does my Ford Expedition have?

The 2018-2021 Expedition has an 8-inch SYNC 3 screen across all trims. The 2022-2024 has a 12-inch screen on XL, XLT, Timberline, and Limited trims and a 15.5-inch screen on King Ranch and Platinum. The 2025-2026 has a 13.2-inch screen across all trims. The 2003-2017 generation has circular vents and no large touchscreen on most trims.

Why does the Course Motorsports not fit some Expeditions?

The Course Motorsports DirectFit uses factory hardware mounting points. If your 2018-2021 Expedition has a tow package knob in the dash, the factory screw location differs and the mount will not fit. Confirm your dash configuration before ordering.

Do these 2018-2021 mounts fit the 2022-2024 Expedition?

No. The vent bezel and interior changed significantly between 2021 and 2022. Mounts engineered for the 2018-2021 interior will not fit the 2022-2024. The Andobil and iOttie universal picks work on both generations.

Does the Expedition MAX use the same mounts?

Yes. The Expedition MAX shares the same dashboard and vent configuration as the standard Expedition within the same model year. All mounts above are compatible with both Expedition and Expedition MAX.
