2027 Ford Expedition: What's New, Trims, Specs & Features
The 2027 Ford Expedition pairs a standard 400 hp 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with a 24-inch panoramic digital display now standard across the lineup. The High-Output tune lifts output to 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque, a meaningful step over the base engine. This page covers every trim, spec, and change so you can compare options and check current inventory at Marshal Mize Ford.
What's New for 2027
The headline change for 2027 is the Ford Digital Experience, which brings a 24-inch panoramic display into the cabin as standard equipment. That instrument panel replaces the separate gauge cluster and infotainment screen arrangement found on earlier Expeditions, giving the dash a cleaner and more unified layout.
The trim structure is also simplified. The 2027 lineup runs seven configurations: Active, Platinum, Tremor, King Ranch, and their MAX counterparts, plus the MAX Active. The XL and Limited trims from earlier model years are gone, which focuses the lineup on higher-content buyers.
The B&O Unleashed Sound System by Bang and Olufsen now includes 22 speakers plus a dedicated subwoofer as standard equipment on the King Ranch and as an available upgrade on the Platinum and Tremor. That is a notable move upward in audio capability compared to what was offered previously.
Ford also standardizes the Power Split Gate with the option to add Open On Approach, meaning the gate opens automatically as you walk toward it with the key fob. USB-C ports now appear at every seating row, and a one-year Ford Security Package is included from the start of the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 Expedition comes in standard and MAX body lengths. The MAX stretches the wheelbase to 131.5 inches (versus 122.5 inches on the standard body) and adds meaningful cargo and passenger space.
Active
Active is the entry point. It comes in 4x2 or 4x4 configurations and includes the 13.2-inch center touchscreen, 24-inch panoramic display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 with adaptive cruise and lane centering. All-terrain tires on 18-inch Dark Alloy wheels are standard.
Platinum
Platinum steps up with available Continuously Controlled Damping suspension, 20-inch Ebony bright-machined wheels, and the available B&O audio system. The Platinum 30th Anniversary Appearance Package adds the exclusive Blue Ember Metallic color and unique styling details.
Tremor
Tremor is the off-road-focused trim. It runs exclusively as a 4x4, gets the High-Output engine as standard (440 hp, 510 lb-ft), an electronic locking rear differential, 10.6-inch minimum ground clearance, an approach angle of 28.2 degrees, and 18-inch Dark Carbonized Gray wheels wrapped in P275/70R18E all-terrain tires. A High Flow exhaust system is also standard on the Tremor.
King Ranch
King Ranch brings seven-passenger seating (versus eight on other trims), the B&O 22-speaker system as standard, 22-inch Sinister Bronze diamond-cut wheels, and P275/50R22 all-season tires. It is available in 4x2 or 4x4.
MAX versions of the Active, Platinum, and King Ranch trims add roughly 11.8 inches of length, increasing cargo behind the third row to 37.4 cu ft versus 22.9 cu ft on the standard body.
Performance & Powertrain
Every 2027 Expedition starts with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 twin-turbocharged engine producing 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. It connects to a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission. Ford recommends regular unleaded fuel, though premium (91 octane or higher) is suggested when towing at capacity or during severe duty use to access maximum output.
The available High-Output tune, standard on the Tremor and available on the Platinum, raises output to 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. Both figures are rated on premium fuel per SAE J1349 standards.
Towing: With the optional Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, the standard Expedition 4x4 tows up to 9,600 lbs. The Expedition MAX 4x4 tows up to 9,000 lbs with the same package. The 4x2 Expedition is rated up to 6,000 lbs standard.
Fuel economy: The EPA rates the standard 4x2 Expedition at 16 city / 24 hwy. The 4x4 version is rated 15 city / 22 hwy.
The Tremor adds a 3.73 electronic locking rear differential and the Intelligent 4WD system with Terrain Management System as standard equipment.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The standard Expedition seats up to eight passengers across three rows. The King Ranch seats seven. With the optional 40/20/40 PowerFold third row with power recline, the second and third rows both offer meaningful flexibility for families who regularly shift between cargo and passenger modes.
Interior measurements on the standard body include 43.9 inches of first-row leg room, 41.1 inches in the second row, and 36.5 inches in the third row (or 43.5 inches when the second row is slid fully forward). First-row head room reaches 41.8 inches.
Cargo capacity on the standard body:
- Behind the third row: 22.9 cu ft
- Behind the second row (seat full forward): 69.9 cu ft
- Behind the first row: 108.5 cu ft
The MAX body expands those numbers to 37.4 cu ft behind the third row, 84.5 cu ft behind the second row (seat forward), and 123.1 cu ft behind the first row.
The available Flex Powered Console and available Panoramic Vista Roof add further comfort and flexibility, particularly for buyers in Chattanooga using the Expedition as a daily family hauler on longer trips.
The available Pro Power Onboard 400W outlet turns the Expedition into a mobile power station, useful for job sites or tailgating.
Technology & Infotainment
Ford's Digital Experience centers on two screens: the 24-inch panoramic instrument display and the 13.2-inch center touchscreen. Both are standard on every 2027 Expedition trim.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are included, as are Google Maps and Google Assistant integration. Push-button start with Intelligent Access (keyless entry) is standard. The Power Ford Split Gate includes an available Open On Approach function.
USB-C charging ports are provided at every row, and an available wireless charging pad keeps the front seat organized. BlueCruise hands-free highway driving is available on qualifying trims as a subscription-based feature on compatible roads.
The available B&O Unleashed Sound System delivers 22 speakers plus a subwoofer. On the King Ranch, it arrives as standard. The available 360-Degree Zone Lighting turns every exterior light into a controllable camp or worksite light.
Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist are included through Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, making trailer management more accessible for buyers towing boats or campers across Tennessee's varied terrain.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 is standard on every 2027 Expedition and covers a wide set of active safety features:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Detection
- Forward Collision Warning with Dynamic Brake Support
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go
- Lane Centering and Predictive Speed Assist
- Lane-Keeping Alert, Lane-Keeping Assist, Driver Alert, and Road Edge Detection

- 360-Degree Camera System (front and rear cameras)
- Front and Rear Parking Sensors
- Rear Automatic Braking
- Integrated Trailer Brake Controller
- Trailer Sway Control
- AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps
The Ford Security Package, covering one year from the warranty start date, is included at no additional charge.
Warranty: 3 years / 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper; 5 years / 60,000 miles powertrain; 5 years / unlimited miles corrosion (perforation only); 5 years / 60,000 miles roadside assistance.
Who It's For and How It Compares to the Prior Year
Buyers who cross-shopped the 2026 Expedition will notice the most immediate change in the cabin. The 24-inch panoramic display is a clear visual upgrade over the previous split-screen layout, and the standardized audio and safety packages reduce the option-hunting required to build a well-equipped vehicle.
The simplified trim structure also makes the buying decision more direct. There are fewer trims to sort through, each with a clearer identity: Active for the value-minded family buyer, Tremor for off-road use, Platinum for comfort and tech, and King Ranch for buyers who want premium materials and the B&O audio included.
The Tremor's 10.6-inch ground clearance and 28.2-degree approach angle put it in territory the standard Expedition has not previously occupied. Buyers in Chattanooga who take the Expedition off-road toward the Ocoee or into the Smokies have a purpose-built configuration available for the first time.
For buyers who simply want more cargo room, the MAX body remains the practical choice, adding over 14 cu ft behind the third row compared to the standard configuration.
