Thirty years is a milestone for any vehicle, especially in a market where models regularly disappear. 2027 gives Ford an occasion to celebrate one of its longest-running SUVs, the Expedition. Here's what you can expect for the new model year.
Key Takeaways
- The Expedition Max offers 36 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row.
- Properly equipped standard-length models can tow as much as 9,600 pounds.
- A 30th Anniversary Edition is now part of the lineup.
What's Special About the Expedition's Anniversary Model?
Ford gave the Expedition a big refresh for '25, and not much has changed since. The automaker adds a 30th Anniversary Edition to the lineup (according to Car and Driver) with special color combinations that can look different depending on the lighting.
What are the 2027 Ford Expedition Engine Specs?
The engine lineup starts with a 400-hp twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6. A high-output version of the same engine boosts power to 440 ponies. Both mate to a 10-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are available. The Expedition comes standard with an independent rear suspension.
Is the Expedition Tremor Off-Road Ready?
You bet! The Tremor is ready for rough terrain thanks to its raised suspension and underbody skid plates. The trim also adds 18-inch wheels fitted with 33-inch General Grabber all-terrain tires. Its specialized driving features include Rock Crawl mode and hill-descent control. Trail Turn Assist applies braking to the inside rear wheel, helping tighten low-speed turns when traveling over soft terrain.
What's the Expedition's Max Tow Rating?
The standard-length model has the higher figure of the two body styles, topping out at 9,600 pounds with the proper gear. The longer Expedition Max has a max of 9,000 pounds.
Which Expedition's Drivetrain Gets Better Gas Mileage?
Rear-wheel drive gets ratings of up to 16 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive versions get 15 mpg in the city, up to 22 mpg on the highway, and 18 mpg combined.
How Do the Expedition and Expedition Max Compare for Space?
Three rows are included with either body length. Ford uses a second-row bench as the standard arrangement and offers captain's chairs for buyers who prefer separate seats and easier access to the back row.
Cargo capacity behind the third row is 22 cubic feet in the standard Expedition; folding the back row opens space to 61 cubic feet. The Max starts with 36 cubic feet behind its third row and expands to 75 cubic feet. Both the second and third rows fold flat, and controls for the power-folding third row are accessible.
What Screens Does the Expedition Use?
The Expedition's 24-inch display holds the SUV's digital gauges and additional driving and infotainment information. A second touchscreen features the primary infotainment controls. The system includes Google software, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Ford also supports over-the-air updates, and you can access entertainment and web-browsing functions while the vehicle is parked.
