2027 Ford Expedition: What's New, Trims, Specs & Features
The 2027 Ford Expedition gains a 30th Anniversary Appearance Package on Platinum models, plus two new exterior colors for the model year. 4x2 drivetrains are now available on Platinum and King Ranch trims, which expands the configuration options compared to 2026. This page covers every trim, spec, and new feature, with current inventory at Koons Ford.
What's New for 2027
The headline addition for the 2027 Expedition is the 30th Anniversary Appearance Package, offered on Expedition Platinum and Expedition MAX Platinum models. It includes exclusive Blue Ember Metallic paint, a color not available on any other trim. Two additional new colors, Bronze Fire Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and Nocturnal Blue Metallic, join the palette across select models.
The drivetrain grid also broadens for 2027. Platinum and King Ranch models can now be ordered in 4x2 configuration, giving buyers who do not need 4WD a lighter, slightly more fuel-efficient path to the upper trims. The Ford Security Package is included for one year on new 2027 Expeditions, then available as a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase at the point of sale that covers seven years.

Trim Lineup
The 2027 Expedition offers four main trims in both standard and MAX (extended) wheelbase body styles.
Active
Active is the entry point. It includes the full 24-inch panoramic display, a 13.2-inch center touchscreen, the Power Ford Split Gate with available Open On Approach, Trailer Tow Prep Package, and standard P265/70R18E all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels. The MAX Active body adds up to 37.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row and 300 additional pounds of towing capacity on 4x2 models.
Platinum
Platinum steps up to 20-inch Ebony-painted bright-machined wheels, front- and second-row heated seats, 360-Degree Zone Lighting, and available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving. The available High-Output engine (440 hp) and the 30th Anniversary Appearance Package are both exclusive to this trim. The MAX Platinum matches these features with the longer body.
Tremor
Tremor is the off-road variant. It is standard with the 440-hp High-Output engine, 33-inch all-terrain tires, a 3.73 electronic-locking differential, Rock Crawl mode, 10.6 inches of ground clearance (versus 8.7 inches on most trims), the B&O Sound System with 10 speakers and a subwoofer, and the Power Panoramic Vista Roof with Power Shade. Maximum towing on the Tremor with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package reaches 9,300 lbs.
King Ranch
King Ranch leads with 22-inch Sinister Bronze-painted diamond-cut machined-face aluminum wheels, Mesa Del Rio leather with Kingsville stitching, the Driver's Package, and BlueCruise hands-free highway driving with a one-year plus 90-day subscription included. The MAX King Ranch adds the longer wheelbase with the same luxury appointments.
Performance & Powertrain
Every 2027 Expedition pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift capability. The standard 3.5L EcoBoost V6 produces 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. Platinum and MAX Platinum buyers can upgrade to the High-Output version of the same 3.5L V6, which raises output to 440 hp and 510 lb-ft. The Tremor comes standard with that High-Output engine.
On 4x2 Active models, EPA fuel economy reaches 16 city / 23 highway. The 4x4 configuration and the High-Output engine bring that to 15 city / 22 highway across most trims. Maximum towing tops out at 9,600 lbs on properly equipped 4x4 standard Expedition models with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The standard Expedition seats up to 8 passengers across three rows. Active models come with front captain's chairs and bench seating in rows two and three as standard. Platinum, Tremor, and King Ranch models default to front and second-row captain's chairs with a third-row bench, seating seven, with an available bench upgrade on select trims to reach eight.
A 60/40 PowerFold third-row bench seat is standard across the lineup. Behind the third row, the standard Expedition holds 22.9 cubic feet. Fold the second row and that grows to 69.9 cubic feet. Maximum capacity with all rear seats folded is 108.5 cubic feet.
The MAX body adds meaningful space. Behind the third row, MAX models carry 37.4 cubic feet, expanding to 84.5 cubic feet behind the second row and 123.1 cubic feet maximum. The extra wheelbase also adds up to 11.8 inches of cargo length compared to the standard body.
Families in Annapolis moving gear to the Eastern Shore or heading up I-97 for weekend trips will find the MAX body's cargo depth genuinely functional. The available Flex Powered Console adapts the center console layout to passenger or storage needs without removing any components.
Technology & Infotainment
The 2027 Expedition's standard Ford Digital Experience centers on a 24-inch panoramic display paired with a 13.2-inch center touchscreen. Both are standard across all trims. Wireless Apple CarPlay and USB-C ports at every row are also standard.
Platinum trims and above include BlueCruise hands-free highway driving, which enables hands-free operation on more than 130,000 mapped miles of divided highway. King Ranch models include a one-year plus 90-day BlueCruise subscription at no added charge. The B&O Sound System with 10 speakers and a subwoofer is standard on Tremor and brings theater-quality audio to the cabin.
Available 360-Degree Zone Lighting, which projects light from the headlamps, roof rails, liftgate, and spoiler, is particularly useful for campsite setups or nighttime hitch connections. Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist are standard across the lineup.

Safety & Driver Assistance
Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 is standard on every 2027 Expedition and includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Automatic Braking, the 360-Degree Camera System with front and rear cameras, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, Child Door Locks, and LATCH child seat anchors.
Platinum models add Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0, which brings Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, Predictive Speed Assist, and Intersection Assist. The Ford Security Package, new for 2027 as a standard inclusion, provides connected vehicle security for the first year with subscription or one-time purchase options afterward.
Who It's For / vs. the Prior Year
Buyers upgrading from a 2026 Expedition gain two new color choices, the 30th Anniversary Package option on Platinum models, and 4x2 availability on Platinum and King Ranch. Those changes matter most for buyers who want upper-trim features without 4WD pricing or weight, and for Platinum shoppers who want a styling-focused package tied to the model's milestone year.
The Tremor remains the right call for buyers who want genuine off-road capability without leaving full-size SUV practicality behind. Its 10.6-inch ground clearance, locking differential, and Rock Crawl mode separate it from every other Expedition trim.
Buyers focused purely on cargo should weight the MAX body seriously. At 37.4 cubic feet behind the third row versus 22.9 cubic feet on the standard body, the size difference is substantial for a family running youth sports equipment, camping gear, or home supply runs.
