2025 vs. 2026 Ford Expedition: What's new?
So, what exactly are the differences between 2025 and 2026 Expedition models? After a major makeover just last year, Ford hasn't made any big changes to the new SUV. The 2026 Expedition does introduce a new paint color, Marsh Gray. And some features have been shuffled around the lineup. Otherwise, though, this innovative family hauler is a lot like the one Ford introduced in 2025, kicking off the fifth-generation Expedition lineup!
Fifth-Generation Expedition Highlights
- New trim model lineup: the base XL, mid-level Active, trail-ready Tremor, posh Platinum, and ruggedly upscale King Ranch
- BlueCruise semi-autonomous driving hardware comes standard on Tremor, Platinum, and King Ranch models; it's optional for the Active (subscription required)
- New Ford Digital Experience infotainment system is standard equipment
- One-year subscription to the Ford Connectivity Package is standard, giving you unlimited Wi-Fi data on the go
- All-new Ford Split Gate is part liftgate, part fold-out tailgate
2025 vs. 2026 Ford Expedition: Performance
When it comes to power and performance, nothing has changed between the 2025 and 2026 Expeditions. With two high-powered twin-turbo V6 engines available, you'll always have plenty of strength at your command. Properly equipped, either Expedition can tow a boat or camper weighing up to 9,600 pounds!
And while four-wheel drive is optional for the base XL and mid-level Active trims, it's standard for the rest. This trail-ready gear helps make these Expeditions equally capable of exploring everything from the swamps to the springs!
Powertrain Options
- Standard twin-turbo 3.5L V6 (400 horsepower, 510 pound-feet of torque)
- Standard on Tremor, optional for Platinum: high-output twin-turbo 3.5L V6 (440 hp, 510 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- RWD or optional 4WD
2025 vs. 2026 Ford Expedition: Available Paint Colors
The 2026 Expedition has one thing that the 2025 Expedition doesn't -- a new color, Marsh Gray. But it also strikes one of last year's options from the list; Wild Green retires for 2026. On the other hand, these Expeditions have seven exterior colors in common. Details are listed in the table below!

2025 vs. 2026 Ford Expedition: MSRP
Somehow, the 2026 Expedition manages to mostly avoid inflation, with an MSRP ($62,700*) that isn't much different from last year's starting price ($62,500*).
