2027 Ford Expedition
In Metro Detroit, a full-size SUV gets asked to do several jobs in the same week: carry a full crew, pull a trailer up north, and get through a February morning. The 2027 Ford Expedition comes in 4 series: Active, Platinum, Tremor, and King Ranch. All but Tremor also offer the longer MAX body, for 7 configurations in all. Starting MSRP at launch ranges from $63,600 for an Active to $85,695 for a MAX King Ranch.

Engines and Fuel Economy
Every 2027 Expedition pairs a 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission. There are 2 versions of the V6, and availability depends on the series, not body length. A MAX Active, for example, uses the same engine as a standard-length Active.
| Series | Standard Engine | High-Output V6 Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Active | 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 400 hp / 480 lb-ft | Not offered |
| Platinum | 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 400 hp / 480 lb-ft | Available with the Ultimate or the Stealth Performance package |
| Tremor | High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 440 hp / 510 lb-ft | Standard |
| King Ranch | 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 400 hp / 480 lb-ft | Not offered |
The High-Output V6 adds 40 hp and 30 lb-ft over the standard engine. It is standard on Tremor and available on Platinum through the Ultimate or Stealth Performance package.
Drivetrain: Intelligent 4WD with the Terrain Management System and 6 drive modes is standard on every configuration. A 4x2 drivetrain is a no-cost option on every configuration except Tremor, which is 4x4 only.
Fuel economy: A 4x4 Expedition is EPA-rated at 15 mpg city, 22 highway, and 18 combined. A 4x2 is rated at 16 city, 23 highway, and 18 combined. The 4x2 gains 1 mpg in the city and on the highway, with the same combined rating.
Towing
A properly equipped standard-length Active, Platinum, or King Ranch can tow up to 9,600 pounds with 4x4 and the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package.
The Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package is available only with 4x4. It is standard on Tremor and optional on every other 4x4 configuration. An integrated trailer brake controller and a Class IV hitch receiver are standard across the lineup. The table shows maximum ratings for properly equipped 4x4 models with the tow package.
| Configuration | Maximum Towing (4x4, Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, Properly Equipped) |
|---|---|
| Active | 9,600 lb |
| MAX Active | 9,000 lb |
| Platinum | 9,600 lb |
| MAX Platinum | 9,000 lb |
| Tremor | 9,300 lb |
| King Ranch | 9,600 lb |
| MAX King Ranch | 9,000 lb |
With the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, each MAX is rated to tow 600 pounds less than the standard-length version of the same series. Tremor is rated 300 pounds below the other standard-length series. Match the trailer or boat you plan to tow to the configuration's rating before choosing.
A 4x2 Expedition is rated to tow up to 6,000 pounds in standard length or 6,300 pounds as a MAX. For a standard-length Active, Platinum, or King Ranch, that is 3,600 pounds below the maximum for a properly equipped 4x4 with the tow package. Weigh the 4x2's 1 mpg advantage in city and highway ratings against that lower towing capacity.
Seating and Cargo
The series determines how many seats you get. The body length determines how much cargo room is left behind them.
Active is the only series with 8 standard seats, in either body length, and it can also be ordered with 7. Platinum and Tremor seat 7 as standard, with 8 available. King Ranch seats 7 only. Heated and ventilated first-row seats and heated second-row seats are standard on Tremor and King Ranch.
The MAX adds cargo space, length, and fuel capacity:
| Measurement | Standard Body | MAX Body | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum cargo, behind the first row | 108.5 cu ft | 123.1 cu ft | 14.6 cu ft more |
| Cargo behind the second row | 60.8 cu ft | 75.4 cu ft | 14.6 cu ft more |
| Cargo behind the third row | 21.6 cu ft | 36.1 cu ft | 14.5 cu ft more |
| Wheelbase | 122.5 in | 131.5 in | 9 in longer |
| Overall length | 209.9 in | 221.7 in | 11.8 in longer |
| Fuel tank | 23.6 gal | 27.8 gal | 4.2 gal more |
The MAX adds nearly the same amount of cargo room behind every row. The difference is especially useful with the third row in use: 36.1 cubic feet behind it instead of 21.6, or about two-thirds more.
The MAX also has a 9-inch-longer wheelbase and adds 11.8 inches of overall length, so check your garage and usual parking spaces. Its fuel tank holds 4.2 more gallons. The MAX body adds $3,000 to the starting MSRP at launch compared with the same series in standard length.
Screens and Connectivity
Every Expedition has the same standard displays and Ford Connectivity Package. Audio, wireless charging, and the included BlueCruise plan vary by series.
Displays: A 24-inch panoramic display and a 13.2-inch center display are standard on all 7 configurations, along with Ford Digital Experience.
Ford Connectivity Package: Every configuration includes the first year of the package, with 5G, an unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices within 50 feet, Google Play apps, and Google Maps on the center display.
Audio: Active has a 6-speaker system. Platinum and Tremor have a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen system, while King Ranch has the 22-speaker B&O Unleashed system as standard.
Wireless charging and BlueCruise: King Ranch includes standard wireless charging and a BlueCruise plan covering 1 year plus 90 days.
An Active gets the same panoramic display as a MAX King Ranch.
Which Expedition Fits Your Week
Start with what you need the SUV to do most weeks.
If you carry 8 people: Active is the only series with 8 standard seats. Its starting MSRP at launch of $63,600 is also the lowest in the lineup. Platinum and Tremor can be ordered with 8 seats. King Ranch seats 7 only.
For the highest tow rating: Keep the standard Intelligent 4WD, add the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, and choose a standard-length Active, Platinum, or King Ranch. These configurations can tow up to 9,600 pounds when properly equipped.
If you need room behind a full third row: Choose a MAX Active, MAX Platinum, or MAX King Ranch for 36.1 cubic feet behind the third row instead of 21.6. The MAX adds $3,000 to the starting MSRP at launch and 11.8 inches to the overall length. Properly equipped with 4x4 and the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, it can tow up to 9,000 pounds, 600 less than its standard-length counterpart.
For off-road driving: Tremor is the off-road configuration, available only in standard length with 4x4. Its hardware includes:
- A 3.73 electronic-locking rear differential
- A higher-riding suspension
- Modified Raptor front and transmission skid plates
- Fuel-tank underbody protection
- Trail Control
- 18-inch wheels with 33-inch-class all-terrain tires
Tremor has 10.6 inches of ground clearance, compared with 8.7 inches on the other standard-length series. Its approach angle is 28.2 degrees rather than 21.1.
For the stronger engine: The 440-hp High-Output V6 is standard on Tremor and available on Platinum with the Ultimate or Stealth Performance package. Active and King Ranch do not offer it.
For the top-of-the-range cabin: Choose King Ranch for its 22-speaker B&O Unleashed audio, standard wireless charging, and BlueCruise plan covering 1 year plus 90 days. It seats 7 only and comes in both body lengths.
