2027 Ford Expedition® in Kingsport, TN
The 2027 Ford Expedition® is a full-size, three-row SUV designed to carry up to eight occupants while supporting substantial cargo and towing requirements. Its lineup includes standard-wheelbase and extended-length Expedition® MAX configurations, with Active, Platinum®, Tremor®, and King Ranch® equipment levels serving different functional priorities. Two available 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 engines produce up to 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, while available four-wheel drive expands the vehicle’s capability across varying surfaces. The cabin combines configurable seating with power-folding rear rows, a standard 24-inch panoramic display, and available equipment such as the Flex Powered Console. Trailering technology, connected services, driver-assistance systems, and cargo-management features further support the role of the 2027 Ford Expedition® as a passenger and utility vehicle. These technical elements allow buyers to select a configuration based on passenger capacity, cargo volume, towing requirements, or off-road use.
EcoBoost® power and configurable capability
The 2027 Ford Expedition® uses a 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 as its standard engine. This powertrain produces 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, providing the output needed to move a full-size, three-row SUV and support its available trailering equipment. Ford pairs the engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission and offers 4×2 or 4×4 drivetrains, depending on the selected model. An available Terrain Management System™ includes six selectable drive modes for configuring vehicle operation according to different driving surfaces and conditions. These powertrain and drivetrain choices give the 2027 Ford Expedition® lineup several distinct combinations of output, traction, and functional capability.
High-output engine and Tremor® equipment
The available 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 High-Output engine increases output to 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. This engine comes standard on the 2027 Ford Expedition® Tremor® and remains available on Platinum® and MAX Platinum® models. The available Platinum® Ultimate Package and Stealth Performance Package also include the High-Output engine along with package-specific wheels. This additional output supports configurations intended for demanding driving, towing, and off-road conditions. It also creates a clear distinction between the standard EcoBoost® engine and the more powerful High-Output option.
The 2027 Ford Expedition® Tremor® combines the High-Output engine with equipment developed for off-road travel. A 3.73 electronic-locking differential manages power delivery, while 33-inch all-terrain tires provide a larger contact point for operation on loose or uneven surfaces. The Tremor® also includes a dedicated Rock Crawl mode within its drive-mode selection. Its minimum running ground clearance measures 10.6 inches, compared with 8.7 inches on most other 2027 Ford Expedition® models. This combination of ground clearance, drivetrain hardware, and selectable operating modes defines the specialized capability of the Tremor® trim.
Additional Tremor® equipment protects critical areas and supports travel away from paved roads. Modified Raptor® skid plates cover the front and transmission underbody areas, while Amber Active-painted tow hooks provide clearly visible recovery points. The exterior includes a Carbonized Gray off-road grille with Ebony-painted mesh and auxiliary grille lights. Black Raptor-inspired platform running boards provide access to the cabin and complement the model’s functional exterior hardware. Standard 18-inch Dark Carbonized Gray-painted aluminum wheels feature Electric Spice pockets and carry P275/70R18E all-terrain tires.
Towing capacity and trailering technology
Towing capacity varies by wheelbase, drivetrain, model, and installed equipment. Properly equipped 4×2 2027 Ford Expedition® models can tow up to 6,000 pounds, while select 4×4 standard-wheelbase models reach a maximum towing capacity of 9,600 pounds with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package. Expedition® MAX 4×2 models can tow up to 6,300 pounds, and properly equipped Expedition® MAX 4×4 models can tow up to 9,000 pounds. The Expedition® Tremor® provides a maximum towing capacity of 9,300 pounds with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package. These ratings allow buyers to match the vehicle’s configuration to the weight and drivetrain requirements of their intended trailer.
Available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ and Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ add technology intended to support hitch alignment and trailer maneuvering. Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ forms part of the truck’s available driver-assistance and towing equipment. Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ provides additional support when directing a connected trailer in reverse. These features do not replace careful trailer setup, proper loading, or active driver control. Instead, they supplement the mechanical towing capability of the 2027 Ford Expedition® with systems designed to assist during specific trailering tasks.
Fuel-economy estimates also vary according to drivetrain and engine configuration. Models equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 and 4×2 have an EPA estimate of 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. Four-wheel-drive configurations with that engine carry an EPA estimate of 15 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. The Tremor® trim, which uses the High-Output engine, also has an EPA estimate of 15 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. These ratings distinguish the available drivetrain combinations while retaining the three-row passenger layout and utility-oriented design of the 2027 Ford Expedition®.
Disclaimer: EPA-estimated city/hwy mpg for the model indicated. See fueleconomy.gov for fuel economy of other engine/transmission combinations. Actual mileage will vary. On plug-in hybrid models and electric models, fuel economy is stated in MPGe. MPGe is the EPA equivalent measure of gasoline fuel efficiency for electric mode operation.
Passenger space and adaptable seating
The 2027 Ford Expedition® provides three seating rows with configurations for seven or eight occupants. Active and MAX Active models include standard seating for eight with front captain’s chairs and bench seats in the second and third rows. An available second-row captain’s-chair configuration reduces capacity to seven while creating two separate second-row seating positions. Platinum®, MAX Platinum®, and Tremor® models seat seven as standard and can accommodate eight with an available second-row bench. King Ranch® and MAX King Ranch® models provide standard seating for seven with front- and second-row captain’s chairs and a third-row bench.
Folding seats and interior flexibility
Active and MAX Active models use a manually folding 40/20/40 second-row bench and a 60/40 PowerFold® third row. The third-row seats in these configurations include power recline and manual head restraints. Their divided seatbacks allow occupants to preserve some rear seating while creating room for longer or larger cargo. The power-folding function also reduces the physical effort required to change the third-row arrangement. This seating design supports frequent transitions between passenger transportation and cargo use.
Platinum® models provide leather-trimmed, heated and ventilated front seats along with power-folding, heated second-row captain’s chairs. Their flexible 40/20/40 PowerFold third row adds power recline and power headrests. The Tremor® trim uses a similar three-row arrangement and adds Black Onyx trim with Electric Spice rollover stitching. Tremor® logos on the front-row seatbacks further identify the specialized model. These interior treatments distinguish the Tremor® while retaining the adaptable passenger and cargo layout used throughout the lineup.
King Ranch® models feature Del Rio leather seats with heating and ventilation for the front row and heating for the second row. Power-folding second-row captain’s chairs allow occupants to change the seating position through powered controls. A 40/20/40 PowerFold third row provides power recline and power headrests. This arrangement maintains seven-passenger capacity while supporting multiple combinations of occupied seats and folded cargo surfaces. The model-specific Mesa Del Rio leather and Kingsville stitching also separate the King Ranch® interior from the other 2027 Ford Expedition® configurations.
An available Flex Powered Console adds another level of cabin adaptability on Platinum® models. The console can move between the front and second rows, allowing occupants to reposition the storage and control area as needed. A digital device holder provides a dedicated location for compatible personal devices. Together, these features address storage, organization, and device use within the three-row cabin. Their placement and powered operation also complement the configurable seating system of the 2027 Ford Expedition®.
Audio and comfort equipment
Audio equipment changes according to trim level. Active models include an AM/FM/MP3 system with six speakers. Platinum® and Tremor® models use a B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® with 10 speakers, including a subwoofer. King Ranch® models add a B&O® Unleashed Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® with 22 speakers, including a subwoofer. These configurations establish distinct audio equipment levels across the 2027 Ford Expedition® range while integrating with the vehicle’s display and connectivity systems.
Heated seating also varies by model and row. Platinum® provides heated and ventilated front seats along with heated second-row captain’s chairs. Tremor® includes leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats and power-folding, heated second-row captain’s chairs. King Ranch® extends heating to its second-row seats while retaining ventilation for the front seating positions. These features support occupant comfort across multiple rows rather than limiting temperature control to the driver and front passenger.
Cargo space and exterior utility
The standard wheelbase of the 2027 Ford Expedition® measures 209.9 inches long, while the Expedition® MAX extends overall length to 221.7 inches. Both versions measure 94.6 inches wide with the mirrors included. Vehicle height ranges from 77.9 to 78.9 inches, depending on the model, with the Tremor® measuring 78.9 inches high. The standard 2027 Ford Expedition® provides a maximum cargo length of 90.4 inches, while Expedition® MAX increases that measurement to 102.2 inches. The MAX body therefore supplies up to 11.8 inches of additional cargo length compared with the standard-wheelbase configuration.
Cargo volume and folding configurations
The standard wheelbase 2027 Ford Expedition® models provide 22.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. Folding the third row expands available volume to 69.9 cubic feet behind the second row. Folding both rear rows increases maximum cargo capacity to 108.5 cubic feet behind the first row. These measurements show how each seating change alters the vehicle’s available storage area. The divided rear seatbacks also allow occupants to balance cargo capacity with passenger requirements.
Expedition® MAX models provide 37.4 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row. Folding that row increases available capacity to 84.5 cubic feet behind the second row. With both rear rows folded, the MAX configuration supplies up to 123.1 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the first row. The added body length creates a larger cargo area in every measured seating arrangement. It also gives the MAX a maximum cargo length of 102.2 inches for longer items.
Split-gate access and cargo management
A Power Ford Split Gate provides separate powered upper and lower sections for rear cargo access. The available Open On Approach function can operate the gate as an authorized user approaches the vehicle. The split design can support the loading of larger items while creating a lower platform at the rear opening. This arrangement also allows users to access portions of the cargo area without operating the rear closure as a single panel. Its powered operation integrates the gate with the other convenience and utility features of the 2027 Ford Expedition®.
An available Cargo Tailgate Manager expands the function of the rear cargo opening. It can serve as a backrest, shelf, or table and supports a maximum capacity of 35 pounds. These configurations provide a usable exterior surface for organizing equipment or supporting activities near the vehicle. The Tailgate Manager remains separate from the folding seating system, allowing cargo-area functions to continue outside the cabin. Its multiple positions add practical flexibility without changing the vehicle’s interior layout.
Available 360-degree Zone Lighting illuminates areas around the 2027 Ford Expedition® through lights positioned in the headlamps, roof rails, liftgate, and spoiler on select models. The system can support cargo loading, campsite setup, or other exterior tasks performed in limited light. Platinum® models feature black fixed platform running boards, while King Ranch® models use Black Onyx power-deployable running boards. Tremor® models receive their own Raptor-inspired fixed platform running boards. These exterior components combine access, illumination, and model-specific equipment within the 2027 Ford Expedition® lineup.
Wheel and tire specifications also vary according to model. Active uses standard 18-inch Dark Alloy-painted aluminum wheels with P265/70R18E all-terrain tires. Platinum® uses standard 20-inch Ebony-painted bright-machined aluminum wheels with P275/60R20 all-season tires. The King Ranch® includes 22-inch Sinister Bronze-painted diamond-cut machined-face aluminum wheels with P275/50R22 all-season tires. Tremor® uses 18-inch wheels and all-terrain tires as part of its off-road-oriented configuration.
Displays, connectivity, and driver assistance
Technology in the 2027 Ford Expedition® centers on two large standard displays and the Ford Digital Experience. A 24-inch panoramic display can present driving data, maps, music, and other vehicle information near the driver’s forward line of sight. A separate 13.2-inch center display provides access to compatible infotainment and vehicle functions. Ford Digital Experience supplies customizable software and graphics across the interface. This display arrangement separates frequently viewed driving information from functions managed through the center screen.
Connected services and device access
The available Ford Connectivity Package includes one year of service and provides access to connected features. Its 5G Wi-Fi hotspot can connect up to 10 devices within 50 feet of the vehicle. The package also supports compatible music and video-streaming applications from the Google Play™ store. Google Maps™ navigation operates through the center display when the required service and equipment are active. These functions allow occupants to connect multiple devices while keeping navigation and compatible applications within the vehicle interface.
The available Ford Security Package provides customizable Theft Alerts through the Ford app. If the vehicle goes missing, dedicated Ford agents can track it and work directly with law enforcement to assist with recovery efforts. The package comes included for one year on eligible vehicles. Owners can also use compatible Ford app functions to access remote features and check fuel-level information. These connected services require the appropriate vehicle equipment, activation, and service availability.
Co-Pilot360™ and BlueCruise® systems
Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist 2.0 equips Active models with Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, and Predictive Speed Assist. Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0 on Platinum®, Tremor®, and King Ranch® models adds Intersection Assist to that group of technologies. Available trailering aids include Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ and Pro Trailer Backup Assist™. These systems supplement driver awareness and control during compatible operating conditions. They do not make the 2027 Ford Expedition® autonomous or replace the driver’s responsibility to remain attentive.
Ford BlueCruise® is optional on Active and MAX Active and equipped on Platinum®, Tremor®, King Ranch®, and their applicable MAX configurations. This hands-free highway driver-assistance feature operates on designated controlled-access highway sections called Blue Zones. Ford states that the system covers 97 percent of controlled-access highways in the United States and Canada. BlueCruise® supports hands-free operation only in compatible areas and under the required conditions. The driver must continue monitoring the road and remain prepared to resume full control.
