2027 Ford Expedition Interior Dimensions: Space, Cargo & Seating Guide
The 2027 Ford Expedition delivers 108.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, with the Expedition MAX stretching that to 123.1 cubic feet. The standard wheelbase is 209.9 inches long; the MAX adds nearly a foot to reach 221.7 inches. Here is a full breakdown of interior dimensions, seating, and cargo, with inventory available at Koons Ford.
Feature Overview: What the Interior of the 2027 Expedition Actually Offers
The 2027 Ford Expedition is built around three rows of usable space. Every dimension serves a purpose, from the 43.9 inches of first-row leg room to the 64.9 inches of first-row shoulder room that makes long drives in Annapolis traffic genuinely comfortable. Passengers in the third row still get 36.5 inches of leg room and 64.2 inches of shoulder room, numbers that beat most full-size SUV competitors at the class boundary.
The Expedition MAX takes every one of those interior measurements and pairs them with a 131.5-inch wheelbase (versus 122.5 inches on the standard model), adding meaningful cargo length without changing the seat dimensions that passengers actually feel. The MAX cargo length behind the third row grows to 37.4 cubic feet, compared to 22.9 cubic feet on the standard Expedition. That difference is the gap between fitting sports gear and not.
Both body styles seat up to eight passengers. The King Ranch is the one exception, seating seven due to its dual captain's chairs in the second row as standard equipment.

How It Works: Row-by-Row Dimension Details
First Row
The driver and front passenger sit in a space with 41.8 inches of head room, 43.9 inches of leg room, 62.3 inches of hip room, and 64.9 inches of shoulder room. These measurements are identical across both the standard Expedition and the Expedition MAX.
Second Row
The second row carries 40.0 inches of head room (the Tremor drops slightly to 37.9 inches due to its taller suspension lift), 41.1 inches of standard leg room, and up to 42.2 inches when the seat is slid fully rearward. Hip room is 62.3 inches and shoulder room is 64.8 inches. The power-folding 40/20/40 bench seat on Active, Tremor, and Platinum models includes a tip-and-slide feature for easy access to the third row.
Third Row
Third-row passengers get 37.4 inches of head room, 36.5 inches of standard leg room, and 43.5 inches when the second-row seat is pushed fully forward. Shoulder room measures 64.2 inches on the standard Expedition and 64.3 inches on the MAX, giving the back bench real livability on longer routes between Annapolis and beyond.
Cargo
| Configuration | Expedition | Expedition MAX |
|---|---|---|
| Behind 1st row | 108.5 cu ft | 123.1 cu ft |
| Behind 2nd row (seat fwd) | 69.9 cu ft | 84.5 cu ft |
| Behind 3rd row | 22.9 cu ft | 37.4 cu ft |
The Ford Split Gate (powered upper liftgate and powered lower tailgate) on both body styles handles loading at the rear, with the lower gate rated for up to 500 lbs as a standing platform. The available Cargo Tailgate Manager adds a 35-lb capacity shelf or backrest for tailgating at any venue.

Across the Trims: Which Interior Features Come With Each Model
Active
Active seats up to eight with cloth captain's chairs up front and a second-row bench. Available upgrades include ActiveX-trimmed captain's chairs in both the front and second rows, and an available 40/20/40 third-row PowerFold seat with power recline and remote power-folding head restraints. All interior volume figures above apply.
Platinum
Platinum moves to heated and ventilated leather-trimmed front seats, heated leather dual captain's chairs in the second row with PowerFold capability, and vinyl seating with perforated inserts in the third row. The standard Panoramic Vista Roof on Platinum adds a fixed skylight panel over the second row without reducing head room.
Tremor
Tremor keeps full interior volume with the single change of a 37.9-inch second-row head room measurement (versus 40.0 inches) due to the raised suspension. The Tremor seats eight with perforated leather-trimmed front buckets, heated second-row captain's chairs, and vinyl third-row seating with power recline.
King Ranch
King Ranch seats seven. The second row uses tip-and-slide heated captain's chairs, and Del Rio leather covers every seating surface. Third-row leg room and cargo figures remain identical to other standard-wheelbase trims.
The available Flex Powered Console in Active, Platinum, and Tremor models slides fore and aft, freeing up aisle space between front seats when passengers need to move between rows. It does not alter the measured interior dimensions but adds functional flexibility inside the footprint.
Real-World Benefit: What These Numbers Mean on a Typical Trip
A family running school pickup, a weekend sports tournament, or a camping run out of the Annapolis area will notice the interior dimensions in practical terms. The 69.9 cubic feet behind the second row on the standard Expedition handles a full-size stroller, a large cooler, and multiple gear bags simultaneously. Fold the third row flat and the load floor becomes a single flat surface with 108.5 cubic feet of room.
For families who regularly carry lumber, kayaks, or oversized cargo, the MAX's 84.5 cubic feet behind the second row and 37.4 behind the third removes the guesswork. Ford specifications confirm the MAX can fit a kayak or a standard sheet of plywood with seats up, a task the standard body length cannot reliably match.
The 24-inch panoramic digital instrument cluster and 13.2-inch center touchscreen are mounted to preserve front-row leg room at 43.9 inches, because Ford designed the dashboard around the driver's space rather than into it. USB-C ports for every row mean no one in the back seat is hunting for a cable on a long drive.
How It Compares: Interior Space Context Against Class Rivals
The Expedition's 108.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo (123.1 on the MAX) sits at the top of the full-size SUV class for the standard and extended body options respectively. Third-row shoulder room at 64.2 inches matches or exceeds most three-row competitors, where that number commonly drops into the upper 50s in the third row.
The Tremor's 10.6-inch minimum ground clearance comes at the cost of 2.1 inches of second-row head room versus other trims. Buyers who prioritize passenger space over off-road geometry will find the Active or Platinum the cleaner choice. The Tremor remains the right answer for buyers who want genuine trail capability without choosing a separate off-road platform.
Neither the standard Expedition nor the MAX requires opting into an expensive package to access full three-row seating or the full cargo volume. Those dimensions are structural, present on every trim from Active through King Ranch.

How much leg room does the 2027 Expedition have in the third row?

What is the difference in length between the 2027 Expedition and Expedition MAX?
The standard 2027 Expedition measures 209.9 inches long. The Expedition MAX measures 221.7 inches long, a difference of 11.8 inches that goes directly into cargo length behind the third row.
How many passengers does the 2027 Ford Expedition seat?
Most 2027 Expedition trims seat up to eight passengers. The King Ranch trims seat seven due to standard dual captain's chairs in the second row.
Does the Expedition MAX have different interior passenger dimensions than the standard Expedition?
No. Row-by-row head room, leg room, shoulder room, and hip room measurements are identical between the standard Expedition and Expedition MAX. The additional length on the MAX translates entirely into cargo space, not increased passenger dimensions.
Does the 2027 Expedition Tremor have reduced interior space?
The Tremor's second-row head room measures 37.9 inches versus 40.0 inches on other trims, because the higher suspension raises the roofline at a different angle. All other interior and cargo measurements remain the same as the standard Expedition.
Can the 2027 Ford Expedition fit a kayak or sheet of plywood?
Ford confirms the Expedition MAX can fit a kayak or a standard sheet of plywood with the seats configured appropriately, owing to its longer load floor. The standard Expedition's load floor dimensions make this more difficult for larger items.
