2026 Ford Expedition Trim Levels

The 2026 Ford Expedition is available in four distinct trim levels. Each configuration offers a specific set of features to meet your performance and comfort preferences.

• Active: This trim serves as a well-equipped foundation. It includes the 24-inch panoramic display and the Ford Split Gate, which allows for easier loading and unloading of groceries or sports gear.

• Platinum: For those who prioritize luxury, the Platinum features heated and ventilated multicontour front seats with available Active Motion massage. It also offers an available high-output engine for increased passing power on the freeway.

• Tremor: This off-road specialist comes equipped with 33-inch all-terrain tires, underbody skid plates, and a specialized suspension lift to handle the rugged trails of Northern California.

• King Ranch: This trim features a unique Western aesthetic with Del Rio leather and 22-inch Sinister Bronze wheels. It comes standard with BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology for a more relaxed experience on long trips.

Performance and Towing Capability

Under the hood, the 2026 Ford Expedition utilizes a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The standard configuration produces 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. If you select the Tremor or Platinum High-Output models, those figures increase to 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque.

This power translates to a maximum towing capacity of up to 9,600 pounds when properly equipped. This level of strength allows you to confidently pull a large boat to the Delta or a heavy travel trailer through the Altamont Pass. Available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist systems simplify the process of connecting and maneuvering your trailer.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Driving a large SUV in the Bay Area requires confidence. The 2026 Expedition includes Ford Co-Pilot360 technology as standard. This suite of safety features helps you stay centered in your lane and provides automatic emergency braking to help avoid potential collisions. BlueCruise is available on several trims, allowing for hands-free driving on pre-qualified sections of divided highways like Route 24.

The interior remains spacious, with seating for up to eight passengers and the Expedition MAX version provides an extended wheelbase for those who require additional cargo room behind the third row. The cabin also utilizes acoustic-laminated glass to keep the environment quiet, even when driving at highway speeds.
