What's Different About the 2027 Expedition?
Ford made big changes to the Expedition for 2025, so '27 models are mostly business as usual; however, the automaker adds a 30th Anniversary Edition to the lineup. Car and Driver reports that the special model features unique color combos that change appearance as lighting conditions shift.
What Are the Expedition's Engine and Drivetrain Choices?
Ford equips the Expedition with a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 and a 10-speed automatic. In standard form, the V6 generates 400 horsepower. A high-output version boosts power to 440 ponies. Rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are available, and an independent rear suspension is used across the board.
What Does the Tremor Add for Off-Road Driving?
The Tremor's hardware is specifically for use beyond pavement. Ford raises its suspension and adds underbody skid plates, exclusive 18-inch wheels, and 33-inch General Grabber all-terrain tires. Rock Crawl mode is part of the Tremor package, as is a hill-descent system that helps manage the SUV's speed. Trail Turn Assist brakes the inside rear wheel during tight, low-speed maneuvers on soft earth.
How Much Can a Ford Expedition Tow?
The standard-length Expedition has the lineup's highest towing capacity at 9,600 pounds with the proper gear. Moving to the Expedition Max gives you more room inside but reduces the model's tow rating to 9,000 pounds.
How Efficient Is Ford's Full-Size SUV?
Rear-wheel-drive models get up to 16 mpg in the city, 24 mpg on the highway, and 19 mpg combined. Selecting four-wheel drive lowers those estimates to 15 mpg city, up to 22 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined.
What's the Difference Between the Expedition and Expedition Max Inside?
Both versions have three rows, with a standard second-row bench and available captain's chairs. The second and third rows fold flat, creating a level surface for cargo. Controls for the power-folding third row are accessible from both the rear seating area and cargo compartment.
The biggest difference is cargo capacity. The standard Expedition provides 22 cubic feet behind the third row and 61 cubic feet with that row folded. The Max expands those measurements to 36 and 75 cubic feet, respectively.
Which Displays and Connectivity Features Are Included?
The Expedition's 24-inch display houses digital gauges and other vehicle information on the dash. Another nearby touchscreen provides access to the main infotainment functions. Google-based software supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Over-the-air updates let you add or improve features remotely, and the system supports entertainment and web browsing while the vehicle is parked.
