2027 Ford Expedition Technology Features: 24-Inch Display, BlueCruise, and Driver Assist Explained
The 2027 Ford Expedition debuts a 24-inch panoramic display as standard equipment across the entire lineup. That screen pairs with a 13.2-inch center display, making this the largest in-cabin digital setup in the Expedition's history. This page covers every key tech feature by trim, with links to current inventory at Koons Ford.
Feature Overview: What the 2027 Expedition Brings to the Cabin
The 2027 Ford Expedition's technology package centers on the Ford Digital Experience, a system built around two screens working in tandem. The 24-inch panoramic display stretches across the instrument cluster and infotainment zone, giving the driver a wide, unified view of navigation, vehicle data, and media. The 13.2-inch center display handles touch inputs for climate, audio, and connected services.
Beyond the screens, the Expedition layers in BlueCruise hands-free highway driving on select trims, a 360-degree camera system standard on every build, wireless Apple CarPlay, and USB-C ports at every seating row. For drivers who tow, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist come standard, turning one of the most stressful tasks in SUV ownership into a manageable process.
For buyers near Annapolis shopping a full-size three-row SUV, this combination of screen size, driver assistance, and connectivity puts the Expedition in a distinct position in the segment.

How It Works: The Ford Digital Experience and BlueCruise Explained
24-Inch Panoramic Display
The 24-inch panoramic display is a single curved panel that spans the driver's instrument cluster and the passenger-facing side of the dashboard. Ford integrates both zones so the driver sees speed, navigation turn-by-turn, and driver assist status simultaneously, without toggling between screens. The 13.2-inch center display below it handles media, climate zones, and phone connections.
Wireless Apple CarPlay
Wireless Apple CarPlay connects without a cable. Once the phone is paired, the Expedition mirrors navigation and audio through the large display with no need to plug in.
BlueCruise Hands-Free Highway Driving
BlueCruise is Ford's hands-free highway driving system. On mapped hands-free sections of highway, the system uses cameras and sensors to maintain lane position and following distance without the driver holding the wheel. The driver's attention stays forward, monitored by a driver-facing camera. BlueCruise is not autonomous driving. It operates only on pre-mapped divided highways and returns control to the driver when conditions fall outside its parameters.
Ford Co-Pilot360
Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 ships standard and includes Adaptive Cruise Control. The upgraded Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0, found on the Platinum trim, adds Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, Predictive Speed Assist, and Intersection Assist to the base system.
360-Degree Camera System
The 360-degree camera system uses front and rear cameras to render a bird's-eye view of the vehicle on the center display, which is particularly useful when maneuvering a vehicle that stretches 209.9 inches long on the standard wheelbase or 221.7 inches on the MAX.

Across the Trims: Which Features Come on Which Expedition
Active
The entry trim ships with the full 24-inch panoramic display and 13.2-inch center display, wireless Apple CarPlay, USB-C ports for all rows, the standard 360-degree camera system, Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 with Adaptive Cruise Control, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist. Rear Automatic Braking is also standard.
The Active is available in both standard and MAX wheelbase configurations, and the full technology package carries across both body lengths with no changes to the digital feature set.
Platinum
Adds BlueCruise hands-free highway driving, with a 1-year plan, Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0 with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, Predictive Speed Assist, and Intersection Assist. Front and second-row heated seats add comfort for longer drives.
The optional 30th Anniversary Appearance Package is available here, along with the available 440-hp High-Output engine. 360-degree Zone Lighting, which shines from headlamps, roof rails, liftgate, and spoiler, is also available on this trim. The Platinum is offered in MAX configuration as well, and BlueCruise, Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0, and all digital features remain standard on the MAX body.
Tremor
Ships with the 440-hp High-Output engine as standard, along with the B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen featuring 10 speakers and a subwoofer. The Power Panoramic Vista Roof with Power Shade is standard, and 10.6 inches of ground clearance, versus 8.7 inches on most other trims, reflects its off-road orientation.
BlueCruise hands-free highway driving is standard on the Tremor. The Tremor is also available in MAX configuration, and BlueCruise and all cabin technology features carry over to the MAX body.
King Ranch
Includes BlueCruise hands-free highway driving with a 1-year plus 90-day plan, the Driver's Package, and 22-inch Sinister Bronze-painted diamond-cut machined-face aluminum wheels. Mesa Del Rio leather with Kingsville stitching defines the interior.
The King Ranch is available in MAX configuration, and the full BlueCruise and digital feature set is standard on the MAX body as well.
The available Flex Powered Console is a separate option that can be added to select trims, giving the center console area more configurability for families or work use.

Real-World Benefit: What These Features Mean on a Daily Drive
For a family running school pickups in Annapolis or loading gear for a weekend on the Chesapeake Bay, the tech in the 2027 Expedition addresses the actual friction points of daily SUV life.
The 24-inch panoramic display reduces the need to look down or away from the road for navigation prompts. Because the instrument cluster zone is part of the same panel, turn-by-turn directions appear directly in the sightline rather than on a separate smaller screen to the right.
USB-C ports at every row resolve the charging argument in a vehicle with up to eight seats. Third-row passengers, who are usually the farthest from any power source in older SUVs, get access without a cable running across the cabin.
BlueCruise on the Platinum, King Ranch, and Tremor trims pays dividends on long highway stretches, particularly I-97 and US-50 corridors familiar to Maryland buyers. The system handles speed maintenance and lane position, reducing fatigue on longer runs without removing driver accountability.
Pro Trailer Backup Assist simplifies the reverse maneuver that trips up most first-time trailer users. The driver turns a dedicated knob to steer the trailer's path while the system controls the steering wheel, making it practical for anyone towing a boat or camper, not just experienced towers.
The B&O Sound System on the Tremor, with its subwoofer integrated into the console, delivers a listening experience calibrated for the Expedition's cabin volume without requiring a separate upgrade.

How It Compares: Expedition Tech in Context
The 2027 Expedition's 24-inch panoramic display is among the largest standard-equipment screens in any three-row full-size SUV currently on sale. Most competitors in the segment offer large touchscreens as standard but keep the instrument cluster and infotainment display as separate units rather than a single integrated panel.
Hands-free highway driving technology comparable to BlueCruise exists on several rivals, but availability tends to be restricted to higher trims or sold as a subscription-only add-on at delivery. The Expedition includes the first year of BlueCruise service on the Platinum, King Ranch, and Tremor, with the Ford Security Package bundled for a year as well.
The 360-degree camera system is standard on the Expedition across all trims. On some competing full-size SUVs, surround-view cameras remain an option rather than baseline equipment.
The B&O Sound System with subwoofer on the Tremor addresses in-cabin audio at a level typically associated with luxury-branded SUVs, not off-road-capable ones.
No competitor specs are invented here. Buyers comparing the Expedition against other three-row full-size SUVs are encouraged to cross-check each brand's standard equipment list directly.
