If you’re shopping for a big SUV that can carry the family, tow serious weight, and still feel manageable in everyday driving, the Ford Expedition should be near the top of your list. The 2026 version doesn’t reinvent the wheel—Ford already gave it a solid update in 2025—but there's still plenty to love. Here’s what you need to know about the new 2026 Ford Expedition.
Key Takeaways
- The 2026 Ford Expedition and Expedition Max start at $64,995 and climb to $86,655. Pricing effective as of September 17, 2025.
- You’ll see models in our showroom in late 2025 or early 2026.
- We don't expect major changes for the Expedition—it had a big update last year.
Expedition Trim Levels and Changes for 2026
Ford freshened the Expedition last year with a new liftgate, sharper interior, and more tech, and that work carries forward. The off-road-focused Timberline trim was swapped out for the Tremor, which leans even harder into adventure-ready upgrades. With all that in play, we expect any changes to be minor for the upcoming model year.
Here’s how pricing stacks up for the trims:
- Active: $64,995
- Platinum: $76,545
- Tremor: $83,995
- King Ranch: $86,655
The Expedition continues with its twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6, good for 400 horsepower in most versions, or up to 440 horsepower in high-output form. Every model uses a 10-speed automatic and comes in either rear- or four-wheel drive. The independent rear suspension smooths out the ride, keeping this big SUV more comfortable and composed than you might expect.
The Tremor trim stands out if you want to leave the pavement behind for the trail. It adds a lifted suspension, skid plates, chunky 33-inch tires, and features like Rock Crawl mode, Trail Turn Assist, and downhill cruise control. On the towing front, the Expedition handles up to 9,600 pounds, while the longer Expedition Max checks in at 9,000 pounds.
EPA numbers for 2026 aren’t official yet, but last year’s figures should give you a good baseline. Rear-wheel drive versions were rated at 16 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, while four-wheel drive models came in slightly lower at 15 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.
The Expedition's Cabin and Tech Features
Ford retains one of the Expedition’s biggest selling points: a massive 24-inch digital display that combines gauges and infotainment in one sleek setup. Below that, there’s a smaller touchscreen that handles climate and quick-access functions. Everything runs on Google’s software platform, so wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
Other conveniences include over-the-air software updates, built-in Wi-Fi, and the ability to stream shows and movies while parked. Higher trims add premium audio, wireless charging, and upgraded seating materials that make this SUV feel every bit as upscale as its rivals.
When You’ll Be Able to Buy One
With towing capacity that rivals trucks, a cabin built for long hauls, and off-road chops for buyers who want to get adventurous, it’s still one of the most versatile SUVs around. Look for it to arrive late this year or early 2026. If you’re ready to see how the new Expedition stacks up, stop by our Alan Jay Ford Wauchula showroom.
