How often should I get an alignment on a 2017 Ford Expedition?

Every 2–3 years or about every 30,000 miles, and sooner after a hard pothole hit or suspension work.

The 2017 Ford Expedition’s 131.0-inch wheelbase and 6,091-pound curb weight make alignment accuracy important for tire wear and highway stability. If you tow (up to 9,100 pounds) or frequently carry cargo, monitor tread closely and book earlier if you see uneven wear.
