When it comes to full-size SUVs that can genuinely do it all, few vehicles have held the top spot as consistently as the Ford Expedition. For 2026, Ford carries forward the sweeping fifth-generation redesign introduced last year, and for good reason. The updates on the 2026 Ford Expedition were significant enough that tinkering for the sake of it would only distract from what is already a strong package.

2026 Ford Expedition Overview

The 2026 Ford Expedition boasts a confident front-end design with styling cues inherited from Ford’s truck lineup. Vertical LED headlights with signature daytime running lights emphasize the broad grille, where the Blue Oval badge takes center stage. One standout exterior feature is the Ford Split Gate, which combines a power-operated upper liftgate with a fold-down lower tailgate for easier loading and tailgating, with the lower gate able to support up to 500 pounds. Wheel sizes range from 18 inches on Active trims to 22-inch alloys on upper models, with massive 24-inch wheels available for buyers who want maximum visual impact. 

Eight exterior color options are available for 2026 Ford Expedition, and most are offered across all trims. The one exception is Stone Blue Metallic, which is available on Active, Tremor, and Platinum but not King Ranch. For the first time in Ford Expedition history, a black-painted roof on Platinum and King Ranch trims are also available.

2026 Ford Expedition Exterior Colors Include: 

• Agate Black Metallic
• Dark Matter Gray Metallic
• Marsh Gray
• Glacier Gray Metallic Tri-Coat
• Space Silver Metallic
• Oxford White
• Star White Metallic Tri-Coat
• Stone Blue Metallic

Performance & Power

The 2026 Ford Expedition is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine. In Active, Platinum, and King Ranch trims, the engine produces 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. A high-output version is rated at 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque and is standard on the Tremor trim, with availability on select Platinum configurations through option packages. A 10-speed automatic transmission is standard across the lineup. 

When properly equipped with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, the 2026 Ford Expedition is capable of towing up to 9,600 pounds, making it well-suited for trailers and large boats. Ford’s Intelligent 4WD system uses a Terrain Management System with seven selectable drive modes with torque distribution adjusting automatically to maximize traction and stability.

2026 Ford Expedition Drive Modes Include: 

• Normal
• Eco
• Sport
• Tow/Haul
• Slippery
• Trail
• Deep Conditions

MPG

The fuel efficiency is acceptable for a vehicle in this class, and Ford keeps numbers consistent across the 2026 Expedition lineup. This makes it to where your trim choice is about features rather than fuel economy trade-offs.

With rear-wheel drive, the 2026 Ford Expedition is rated at up to 19 mpg combined, 16 mpg in the city, and 24 mpg on the highway. Models with 4WD are rated at 18 mpg combined, with 15 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. In mixed real-world driving, owners can expect around 16 to 17 mpg, with highway cruising occasionally stretching to 23 mpg under steady conditions at 75 mph. 

These numbers are made possible by Ford’s 3.5-liter EcoBoost technology, which combines direct injection, twin turbochargers, and variable valve timing to deliver V8-level capability with the efficiency of a V6.

0-60 MPH

Despite weighing well over two and a half tons, the 2026 Ford Expedition gets moving with genuine urgency. The standard-output engine gets the Expedition from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 5.8 to 6.5 seconds depending on body configuration and drivetrain. 

At the Edmunds test track, a 2026 Expedition Platinum test vehicle sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds, which is more than a second quicker than a Chevrolet Tahoe tested with its most powerful V8. 

Interior Offerings

Inside, the 2026 Ford Expedition offers seating for up to eight passengers. The second row features either power-folding captain’s chairs or a versatile 40/20/40 split-bench design with tip-and-slide functionality. Available interior amenities include heated leather steering wheels, power-adjustable pedals, and a panoramic vista roof with a power sunshade. Third-row passengers have 36.5 inches of legroom in the standard-wheelbase model. The 2026 Ford Expedition Max adds even more cargo flexibility behind that row for families who need every cubic inch. What sets each trim apart inside comes down to materials and configuration. 

Trim Interior Differences:

• Active opens with cloth upholstery, which is entirely appropriate for its price point and practical use case.  
• Platinum adds heated and ventilated front seats, fixed running boards, and a panoramic sunroof.
• King Ranch features saddle-brown leather upholstery in an upscale Southwest-inspired theme. 
• Tremor keeps things sport-focused with contrasting accents that match its rugged exterior personality. 

Advanced Technology

The 2026 Ford Expedition comes equipped with a 24-inch digital instrument cluster, a 13.2-inch touchscreen, navigation, multiple USB ports, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Google Maps, Google Assistant, satellite radio, six audio speakers, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology is available as a one-time purchase for $2,495 or a one-year plan for $495, with Platinum and higher trims receiving a 90-day trial included.

Platinum trims add a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system and can be fitted with a 22-speaker B&O system through the Driver’s Package. King Ranch trims come standard with the 22-speaker Bang & Olufsen Unleashed Sound System. 

Included Safety

There are standard safety features included across all trim levels, meaning even Active buyers get a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technology without needing to move up the lineup. The available BlueCruise system layers hands-free highway capability on top of this already robust foundation, further reducing driver fatigue on long road trips.

Standard safety features on the 2026 Ford Expedition include: 

• Front and Rear Parking Sensors
• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Forward Collision Warning
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Automatic High-Beam Assist
• Blind Spot Monitoring
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
• Surround-View Camera
• Lane Keeping Assist
• Lane Departure Warning
• Pedestrian Detection 

2026 Ford Expedition Price

Even though the 2026 Ford Expedition costs a tad more than its direct rivals, it offers a strong value proposition. The base Active trim has just about everything you could want in a modern full-size SUV, from a roomy eight-seat interior and sleek infotainment layout to a brawny twin-turbo engine and an integrated trailer brake controller. Pricing is straightforward and scales logically with capability and content. Overall, you can expect the price of the 2026 Ford Expedition to fall somewhere between $58,000-$81,000.

Price by Trim

Each 2026 Ford Expedition trim brings distinct value. Active trims deliver full-size practicality at the most accessible price. Platinum trims upgrade comfort and audio significantly. The Tremor is built for drivers who want off-road capability with standard high-output power. King Ranch trims add 22-inch bronze wheels, bronze exterior accents, adaptive suspension dampers, brown leather upholstery, grille inserts, special bumper trim, and contrast stitching for a distinctive, ranch-inspired luxury experience.
