2027 Ford Expedition: Trims, Lengths, Prices and Towing

What's New for 2027

The Expedition has been around since 1996, and Ford marks its 30th year with the 30th Anniversary Appearance Package, offered only on Platinum. The package adds:

• Anniversary badging
• 22-inch Ebony-painted bright-machined wheels with an anniversary center cap
• Blue Ember Metallic, a color-shifting paint no other Expedition offers

Two other colors are new for 2027 on select models: Bronze Fire Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and Nocturnal Blue Metallic.

Expedition or Expedition MAX

The Expedition MAX is the long-wheelbase version of the 2027 model, and Ford offers it on every trim except Tremor. Each MAX carries the same equipment as its trim, with one exception: 2 optional 22-inch wheels offered on Platinum aren't available on the Platinum MAX.

This table shows what the longer body adds and what it leaves the same.

The extra length goes to cargo space, and the MAX holds more behind every row of seats.

Choose the MAX if your family fills all 3 rows and still needs room for luggage, strollers or sports gear. The added space counts most when every seat is taken.

Choose the standard Expedition if you tow near the top of the range with a 4x4, want the Tremor, or park in a garage that's short on length.

Trims and Prices

The 2027 Expedition's 4 trims climb in price from Active to King Ranch, and the MAX adds the same amount to each trim that offers it.

Every trim comes with the driver-assistance features listed under Technology and Driver Assistance, plus an 18-inch full-size spare under the body. Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0, a driver-assistance package, is optional on Active and standard on the other 3 trims. BlueCruise, Ford's hands-free highway driving system, is also optional on Active, while the other trims include it for a period that varies by trim. Beyond that, stepping up buys comfort and equipment, plus off-road hardware and more power on Tremor.

Which Trim Fits You

Each 2027 Expedition trim suits a different priority, so start with the one that matters most to your family.

• The most seats for the money: Active starts lowest in either length, and unlike Platinum and Tremor, it seats 8 without an option.
• The stronger engine: Tremor comes with the High-Output V6, and Platinum offers it through either of 2 packages, which makes Platinum the only way to get it in a MAX.
• Driving past the pavement: Tremor carries the off-road hardware, though you can't get it as a MAX or a 4x2.
• Luxury with 7 seats: King Ranch is the one to look at if Premium Del Rio leather matters more to you than an eighth seat, which it doesn't offer.

Active

Active is the value trim, and it runs the same standard engine and carries the same tow ratings as Platinum and King Ranch. It's the only trim that seats 8 as standard. Seats are cloth, with ActiveX seat material optional. Standard 18-inch Dark Alloy wheels ride on all-terrain tires, and 20-inch wheels are optional.

Platinum

Platinum is the comfort trim, and it carries several options no other trim offers. It comes standard with:

• Leather-trimmed captain's chairs, heated and ventilated up front and heated in the second row
• Memory seats
• 360-Degree Zone Lighting
• 20-inch Ebony Bright Machined wheels

Platinum's options include:

• The High-Output engine, through the Platinum Ultimate or Stealth Performance package
• Active Motion massage front seats
• Continuously Controlled Damping
• 22-inch and 24-inch wheels
• The Stealth Appearance Package
• The 30th Anniversary package

Tremor

Tremor is the off-road Expedition. It comes only as a 4x4 in the shorter body, with the High-Output engine and the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package as standard. Leather-trimmed captain's chairs and Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0 are standard too.

Underneath, Tremor adds:

• An electronic-locking rear differential with a 3.73 axle ratio
• A higher-riding suspension with passive shocks
• Front and transmission skid plates
• Fuel-tank protection
• Trail Control

Outside, it wears:

• LED fog lamps
• Front tow hooks
• Platform running boards
• 18-inch Dark Carbonized Gray wheels on 33-inch all-terrain tires

These are Tremor's off-road measurements.

2027 Expedition Tremor off-road measurements

Tremor off-road measurement	Figure
Minimum running ground clearance	10.6 in
Approach angle	28.2 degrees
Departure angle	24.3 degrees
Breakover angle	22.4 degrees

By comparison, the other trims in the standard body have 8.7 inches of minimum running ground clearance. Tremor's tradeoffs are less second-row head room and a slightly lower tow rating than the other standard-length 4x4s with the same package.

King Ranch

King Ranch comes with Premium Del Rio leather in Mesa and heated, ventilated front captain's chairs, and it seats 7 only. It also gets the B&O Unleashed sound system, a wireless charging pad and the Driver's Package as standard, and it rides on 22-inch Sinister Bronze Diamond-Cut wheels. King Ranch uses the standard engine; the High-Output version isn't offered on it.

Engine and Drivetrain

Each 2027 Expedition pairs a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission and Auto Stop-Start. The engine comes in 2 outputs, and Ford rates both on premium fuel.

A High Flow Exhaust comes with Tremor and with either of those Platinum packages.

Tremor is 4x4 only, while the other 3 trims are offered as 4x2 or with Intelligent 4WD, which includes the Terrain Management System and 6 selectable drive modes. Both lengths ride on independent front and rear suspension.

The EPA's estimates for the standard Expedition show little fuel economy cost to choosing 4x4.

For more on how this engine is built, see our 3.5L EcoBoost V6 overview.

Towing

How much a 2027 Expedition can tow depends on its length, its drivetrain and whether it has the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, which is offered only on 4x4 models. That package is standard on Tremor and optional on the other trims.

Each rating in this table assumes a properly equipped SUV.

Gross combined weight rating is the most the loaded SUV and its loaded trailer may weigh together.

Those combined ratings explain why the MAX tows less than the standard length in one setup and more in the other. With the Heavy-Duty package, the MAX weighs more and has the lower combined rating, so it's rated for less trailer. With conventional towing, the MAX's higher combined rating more than covers its extra weight, so the 4x2 MAX out-tows the standard 4x2.

Both lengths come standard with this towing equipment:

• An Integrated Trailer Brake Controller
• A Class IV hitch receiver
• Pro Trailer Backup Assist
• Pro Trailer Hitch Assist

Before you shop for a camper or a boat, check its loaded weight against the rating for the exact configuration you're considering, and remember that passengers and cargo count against the combined rating. If you're unsure which setup your trailer needs, ask our team.

Seating, Third Row and Cargo

A 2027 Expedition fits 7 or 8 people, depending on the trim and the second row you choose.

• Active comes with 8 seats, using a 40/20/40 split second-row bench with CenterSlide, and offers 7 as an option.
• Platinum and Tremor seat 7 as standard, with power-fold tip-and-slide second-row captain's chairs, and offer 8 as an option.
• King Ranch seats 7 only, with second-row captain's chairs.

Measured row by row, the third row gives up the most in hip room.

The third row's narrower hip room makes it roomiest with 2 people across it. On Active, the third row is a 60/40 PowerFold split.

Cargo room comes down mostly to which length you choose. Available cargo features include a powered tailgate with upper and lower sections, Open On Approach and the Cargo Tailgate Manager.

Technology and Driver Assistance

Every trim of the 2027 Expedition comes with this technology as standard:

• Ford Digital Experience
• A 24-inch panoramic display that can be configured to show driving data, maps and music at eye level
• A 13.2-inch center display
• SiriusXM with 360L
• The Ford Connectivity Package for 1 year, with a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices within 50 feet and unlimited data
• Google Play store apps and Google Maps on the center display, through the 1-year Ford Connectivity Package
• The Ford Security Package for 1 year from the warranty start date, with Theft Alerts in the Ford app and 24/7 recovery agents

These driver-assistance features are standard on every trim and both lengths:

• Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert and trailer coverage
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Predictive Speed and Stop-and-Go
• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, including Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning and Dynamic Brake Support
• Lane-Keeping System
• Reverse Brake Assist
• 360-Degree Camera, plus Front and Rear Parking Sensors
• Auto High-Beam Headlamps

Above that baseline, the trims differ on Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0, BlueCruise, sound and convenience features, and each MAX matches its trim.

BlueCruise operates on 97% of controlled-access highways in the US and Canada, the stretches Ford calls Blue Zones. A one-time 7-year BlueCruise plan is optional on every trim. Pro Power Onboard supplies 400 watts through an outlet in the console and another in the cargo area.

Exterior Colors

Color availability on the 2027 Expedition varies by configuration, and Blue Ember Metallic comes only with the Platinum 30th Anniversary Appearance Package.

Warranty

Ford's warranty on the 2027 Expedition breaks down this way.

Roadside assistance runs 5 years / 60,000 miles. When your Expedition is due for upkeep, you can request Ford maintenance through our service department.

Choosing One for Indiana Driving

Here in the Indianapolis metro, an Expedition's drivetrain is as big a choice as its trim. Indiana winters and gravel county roads make the case for 4x4 on Active, Platinum or King Ranch, and Tremor's extra ground clearance suits driving that continues past the pavement. If your miles are mostly highway and town, the EPA rates the standard Expedition 4x2 slightly better in city and highway driving. As the only Ford dealership in Madison County, we're glad to talk through the drivetrain choice with families from Anderson and across the metro.
