2027 Ford Expedition: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2027 Ford Expedition is the addition of rear-wheel drive to the King Ranch and Platinum trims. This is otherwise a light update, with a newly standard laminated windshield and a few trim-level equipment adjustments rather than a redesign.
About the 2027 Ford Expedition
5th generation (2025-present), third model year; minor equipment and drivetrain-availability update after the 2025 redesign.
Ford presents the Expedition as a full-size, three-row family SUV built for carrying people, cargo, and trailers without giving up everyday comfort. Its identity centers on adult-friendly seating, standard-length and extended-length MAX bodies, a powerful twin-turbo V6, large dashboard displays, and the multifunction split rear gate. Compared with many rivals, it emphasizes family usability, strong towing capability, roomy third-row seating, and a dedicated factory off-road trim.
Active remains the family-focused core model, with three-row seating, a power-operated split rear gate, a 24-inch panoramic display, and a 13.2-inch center touchscreen. King Ranch emphasizes rich leather and premium audio, while Platinum focuses on comfort and technology. TREMOR is the off-road model, pairing standard four-wheel drive and underbody protection with a 440-hp V6.
