2027 Ford Expedition: What's New, Trims, Specs & Features
The 2027 Ford Expedition debuts a massive 24-inch panoramic display as part of the redesigned Ford Digital Experience. That tech overhaul pairs with an available 440-hp High-Output EcoBoost and up to 9,600-lb towing capacity. This page covers every trim, spec, and change, with current inventory available at George Coleman Ford.
What's New for 2027
The headline change on the 2027 Expedition is the 24-inch Panoramic Display, the largest screen ever fitted to an Expedition, running the new Ford Digital Experience interface. It sits alongside a 13.2-inch center touchscreen, giving the cabin a genuinely different visual presence compared to previous-generation interiors.
Ford also adds the Platinum 30th Anniversary Appearance Package this model year, exclusive to Platinum trims and featuring the new Blue Ember Metallic exterior color not available on any other trim or configuration.
The available 440-hp High-Output tune of the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 arrives with 510 lb-ft of torque, paired specifically with the Tremor for serious off-road and towing duty. The standard engine still produces 400 hp and 480 lb-ft, which keeps the non-Tremor lineup capable without requiring the performance upgrade.
Ford expanded the Tremor trim's off-road geometry as well. The Tremor posts a 10.6-inch minimum running ground clearance, a 28.2-degree approach angle, and a 24.3-degree departure angle, figures that put it in direct competition with purpose-built off-road full-sizers.

Trim Lineup
The 2027 Expedition comes in seven configurations split between the standard-wheelbase Expedition and the longer Expedition MAX. Both share the same powertrain and core tech but the MAX adds meaningful cargo and seating room.

The entry trim arrives with 18-inch Dark Alloy-painted aluminum wheels, P265/70R18E all-terrain tires, the 24-inch Panoramic Display, Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and USB-C ports for all three rows. Available in 4x2 or 4x4.

Steps up with 22-inch Sinister Bronze diamond-cut wheels on King Ranch, 20-inch Ebony bright-machined wheels on Platinum, upgraded interior materials, available Continuously Controlled Damping suspension, and the optional B&O Unleashed Sound System with 22 speakers.

Compare Expedition vs Expedition MAX
Performance & Powertrain
The standard 3.5L EcoBoost V6 puts out 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Ford rates this engine on regular unleaded but recommends premium for maximum torque output and during heavy towing cycles.
The available High-Output tune raises output to 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. Both engines use twin turbochargers, port fuel and direct injection, and a die-cast aluminum block.
Towing on the 4x4 Expedition reaches 9,600 lbs with the optional Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package and a 3.73 axle ratio. The 4x2 Expedition is rated at 6,000 lbs. MAX variants reach 9,000 lbs (4x4) or 6,300 lbs (4x2) with the same package.
EPA fuel economy comes in at 16 city / 24 hwy / 19 combined for 4x2 models and 15 city / 22 hwy / 18 combined for 4x4 models.
Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist are standard through Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, making trailer hookup and reversing more manageable without a spotter.

Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The 2027 Expedition seats 8 passengers across three rows (7 on King Ranch with the captain's chair layout). First-row headroom measures 41.8 inches and legroom reaches 43.9 inches. The third row offers 37.4 inches of headroom and 43.5 inches of legroom when the second row is pushed fully forward, which is genuinely usable for adults on shorter trips.
Cargo behind the third row checks in at 22.9 cu ft on the standard Expedition and 37.4 cu ft on the MAX. Push both rear rows forward and the MAX opens up 123.1 cu ft of total cargo space.
The available 40/20/40 PowerFold Third-Row Seat with Power Recline simplifies configuring the cabin. The Power Ford Split Gate tailgate with available Open On Approach lets you open the cargo area hands-free when carrying gear. The Flex Powered Console is an available option that reconfigures the center console for different passenger or storage needs.
Technology & Infotainment
The 24-inch Panoramic Display is the defining interior feature of the 2027 model year. It runs the Ford Digital Experience and integrates with the separate 13.2-inch center touchscreen that handles climate and media controls.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard across all trims. Every row gets USB-C ports (dual-port in each location), so all three rows of passengers can charge simultaneously.
The available B&O Unleashed Sound System by Bang & Olufsen includes 22 speakers with a subwoofer. It is standard equipment on King Ranch and an available upgrade on Platinum and Tremor trims. The available 360-Degree Zone Lighting illuminates specific exterior zones around the truck, which is particularly useful when loading cargo at night or working around a campsite.
A Ford Security Package is included for one year from the warranty start date.

Safety & Driver Assistance
Every 2027 Expedition ships with Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 as standard equipment. The full suite includes:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, and Dynamic Brake Support
- Lane-Keeping Alert, Lane-Keeping Assist, Driver Alert, and Road Edge Detection
- 360-Degree Camera System covering front and rear
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go
- Lane Centering
- Predictive Speed Assist
Child safety infrastructure includes LATCH anchors and child door locks on both rear rows. The 360-degree camera system makes low-speed maneuvering in parking lots and tight spaces notably less stressful in a vehicle measuring 209.9 inches long.
Who It's For and How It Compares to the Prior Year
Buyers stepping up from a 2025 or 2026 Expedition will notice the 24-inch Panoramic Display immediately. The prior interior architecture used smaller screens and did not offer a panoramic format. The Ford Digital Experience represents a structural interior update rather than a minor software refresh.
The High-Output engine option at 440 hp and 510 lb-ft is a meaningful step above the 400-hp standard tune for drivers who regularly tow near the vehicle's rated limit or need the extra margin for mountain grades heading up toward the South Carolina Foothills. The Tremor trim brings that output together with 10.6 inches of ground clearance and a locking rear differential, making the 2027 Expedition MAX the only configuration in the lineup that combines genuine off-road geometry with three-row family practicality.
Buyers who prioritize interior space and maximum cargo should look at the MAX trims first. Those who want the most off-road capability should go directly to the Tremor. Buyers centered on interior luxury and the B&O sound system as standard should start with King Ranch.
