2027 Ford Expedition Trim Levels & Configurations
Active, Platinum, Tremor & King Ranch

See what changes in seating, cargo capacity, luxury, trail equipment and available packages before you choose an Expedition for life in North-Central West Virginia.


The 2027 Ford Expedition brings spacious three-row seating, flexible cargo space and modern cabin technology together in one full-size SUV. It has the versatility for busy school weeks, daily drives along I-79 and weekend getaways when the whole family—and their luggage—comes along.

For families around White Hall and Fairmont, choosing the right Expedition comes down to how that space will be used. The standard-length body can be easier to accommodate in garages and parking spaces, while Expedition MAX provides more cargo room behind an occupied third row. Second-row seating arrangements and available equipment packages can make an equally meaningful difference in everyday comfort.

Start with the Feature Finder to narrow down the configurations that meet your priorities, then explore the comparisons and individual trim slides to see what each model offers. You’ll discover which features are included, where packages make a difference and which upgrades deserve a closer look at T&S Ford.

Popular Ford Expedition QuestionsQuick Answers Before You Explore

How many 2027 Ford Expedition trim levels are there?
Four retail trims: Active, Platinum, Tremor and King Ranch.


Is Expedition MAX a separate trim?
No. MAX is the longer body configuration available on Active, Platinum and King Ranch, providing additional cargo space behind the third row.


Which Expedition trim has the lowest starting price?
Active starts at $63,920 MSRP* for the standard-length model or $66,920 MSRP* for MAX, before options and applicable fees.


What is the difference between Active Select and Active Touring?
Both are equipment groups within the Active trim. Select starts with eight-passenger seating, while Touring adds heated front seats, second-row captain’s chairs and other comfort upgrades. Touring also offers the Family Travel Package.


Which Expedition trims offer the 440-hp EcoBoost V6?
Tremor includes the high-output engine as standard equipment. Platinum 4×4 offers it through eligible Stealth Performance or Ultimate packages.


Does every Expedition seat eight passengers?
No. Models with second-row captain’s chairs typically seat seven. An eligible second-row bench provides seating for eight on select Active, Platinum and Tremor configurations, while King Ranch seats seven.


Is four-wheel drive available on every Expedition trim?
Yes. Active, Platinum and King Ranch offer 4×2 or 4×4 configurations, while Tremor includes 4×4 as standard equipment.

What Every 2027 Expedition Trim Has in Common

Generous three-row space, strong V6 power and advanced cabin technology come built in.

Every 2027 Ford Expedition starts with a substantial foundation. All four trims feature a twin-turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, although horsepower varies by configuration. Inside, a standard 24-inch panoramic driver display and 13.2-inch center touchscreen with Ford Digital Experience put navigation, entertainment and vehicle information within easy reach.

Family-friendly utility is equally important. The power-operated Ford Split Gate offers flexible access to the cargo area, making it easier to manage groceries, sports equipment and luggage. Three rows of seating provide room for passengers, while adaptable rear seating helps accommodate changing cargo needs.

These strengths are part of the Expedition experience regardless of trim. Moving through the lineup brings differences in seating materials, comfort features, available packages and specialized driving equipment—not a requirement to upgrade just to enjoy the SUV’s core technology and versatility.


What’s New for 2027

New Packages, Colors & Drivetrain Choices

The four retail trims return with more ways to personalize your Expedition, from family-focused conveniences and distinctive styling to expanded drivetrain choices.

2027 Ford Expedition Platinum 30th Anniversary Edition in Blue Ember Metallic parked on a street in White Hall, WV

Platinum 30th Anniversary

Celebrate 30 Years with a Distinctive Look

  • The new 30th Anniversary Appearance Package (91A) adds exclusive badging, distinctive wheels and interior accents to Platinum.
  • Blue Ember Metallic is an exclusive available paint choice for this package, giving the anniversary model a particularly distinctive finish.
  • This is an appearance-focused option, separate from the Stealth Performance and Platinum Ultimate high-output packages, which cannot be combined with it.

Active Touring

More Conveniences Without Moving Up a Trim

  • The new Family Travel Package (90T) is available on Active Touring (202A), bringing additional comfort and versatility to the entry-level trim.
  • Highlights include a panoramic roof, Flex Powered Console, enhanced rear-seat charging, flexible third-row seating and 360-degree zone lighting.

Drivetrain Choices

More Flexibility for Premium Expedition Buyers

  • Platinum and King Ranch now offer 4×2 configurations alongside their available 4×4 models.
  • Buyers who want a premium cabin without needing four-wheel drive now have an additional, lower-priced starting configuration to consider.

Exterior Updates

Fresh Colors & Added Cabin Refinement

  • Bronze Fire Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and Nocturnal Blue Metallic join the available exterior color choices, with availability varying by trim and package.
  • A laminated windshield becomes standard across the lineup, adding another refinement designed to help reduce outside noise.

How Starting Prices Change by Trim and Body

These are base manufacturer prices, before optional equipment, destination and fees. The price of an individual vehicle depends on its configuration.

2027 Ford Expedition starting manufacturer suggested retail price by trim
Retail Trim Standard-Length MSRP* MAX MSRP*
Active $63,920 $66,920
Platinum $70,870 $73,870
Tremor $82,720 Not offered
King Ranch $83,015 $86,015

What This Means: A comparable 4×2 Platinum starts $6,950 above Active, and MAX adds $3,000 on each of the three trims that offer it. Tremor includes 4×4, so its base MSRP is not a like-for-like comparison with 4×2 starting prices.

Platinum roof, power boards, wireless charging and 22-speaker audio require eligible equipment packages; the upgraded audio/charging package is also available on Tremor. BlueCruise access is subject to compatible roads, driver attention and an active plan.

What This Means: Active Touring can deliver heated seats and family conveniences without moving into a premium trim. Platinum is the first trim with standard ventilated leather front seats; King Ranch includes high-end audio and power running boards that may require packages on Platinum.

Comparison Topic 4 of 5

High-Output Power Is Not the Same as Trail Capability

Higher horsepower and off-road capability are separate considerations: Tremor combines both, while select Platinum 4×4 packages offer the high-output engine without Tremor’s full trail setup.

2027 Ford Expedition EcoBoost powertrain and capability by trim
Retail Trim Engine & Drivetrain Capability Focus
Active
  • 400-hp / 480-lb-ft 3.5L EcoBoost V6
  • 4×2 or 4×4
  • Trailer Tow Prep included
  • Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow available on eligible 4×4 Touring builds
Platinum
  • 400-hp / 480-lb-ft V6 standard
  • Optional 440-hp / 510-lb-ft V6
    with eligible 4×4 Stealth Performance or Ultimate
  • Tow Prep or Heavy-Duty Tow by package
  • Performance options are not part of the base price
Tremor
  • 440-hp / 510-lb-ft high-output V6 standard
  • 4×4 only
  • 3.73 electronic-locking rear differential
  • Off-road suspension, 33-inch all-terrain tires and trail controls
King Ranch
  • 400-hp / 480-lb-ft V6
  • 4×2 or 4×4
  • Available 4×4 without Tremor-specific off-road hardware
  • Trailer specification depends on tow package and drivetrain

What This Means: For a boat trip to Tygart Lake, confirm the individual SUV’s tow rating and trailer equipment; more horsepower alone does not determine towing suitability. If you regularly use rough access roads, Tremor provides off-road hardware a high-output Platinum does not.

Comparison Topic 5 of 5

MAX Adds Space Behind the Third Row

MAX mainly increases luggage room and vehicle length; seating capacity still depends on the trim and second-row configuration.

2027 Ford Expedition and Expedition MAX cargo space and size
Body or Seating Choice Standard Expedition Expedition MAX
Cargo behind third row (fully upright) Up to 22.9 cu. ft. Up to 37.4 cu. ft.
Maximum cargo with rear seats folded Up to 108.5 cu. ft. Up to 123.1 cu. ft.
Overall vehicle length About 209.9 in. About 221.7 in.
Available trims Active, Platinum, Tremor, King Ranch Active, Platinum, King Ranch
Passenger seating Body length does not add a passenger seat.
Capacity is seven or eight based on trim and second-row layout; King Ranch seats seven only.

What This Means: MAX provides up to 14.5 additional cubic feet behind a fully upright third row, with about 11.8 inches more exterior length. That tradeoff matters most when passengers and luggage travel together; check garage and parking fit before deciding.

2027 Ford Expedition Expert Review

Strong Acceleration & Long-Distance Comfort

In his review of the 2027 Ford Expedition, MotorTrend’s Bob Hernandez highlights the SUV’s responsive twin-turbocharged V6 and exceptionally plush ride. The combination gives the Expedition a refined highway character while maintaining the strength expected of a full-size, truck-based SUV.

MotorTrend also reports a 5.3-second 0–60 mph test for an Expedition Tremor equipped with the high-output V6. That helps put into perspective the engine’s 440-horsepower rating, demonstrating how readily this substantial three-row SUV can accelerate. The review also praises the upscale cabin, modern technology and towing capability.

2027 Ford Expedition Active

The Practical Starting Point With Meaningful Touring Upgrades

2027 Ford Expedition Active Trim Level

2027 Ford Expedition Active trim equipment, pricing and configuration
Starting MSRP* $63,920 Expedition | $66,920 Expedition MAX

Prices start with Active Select (200A) before optional equipment.

Standard Equipment — Active Select (200A)
Powertrain & Drivetrain
  • 400-hp / 480-lb-ft 3.5L EcoBoost V6
  • 10-speed automatic transmission
  • 4×2 or available 4×4; towing equipment depends on the equipment group and configuration
Seating & Cabin
  • Eight-passenger seating with second-row 40/20/40 bench
  • Cloth-trimmed seating surfaces
  • 60/40 PowerFold third-row seat
Technology & Utility
  • 24-inch panoramic driver display and 13.2-inch center screen
  • Ford Digital Experience and six-speaker audio
  • Power-operated Ford Split Gate
Available Packages & OptionsTouring (202A), Family Travel (90T) and driving choices

Active Select covers the essentials. Review Touring and Family Travel separately to avoid assuming that an advertised Active has every available comfort feature.

Active Touring (202A)

  • Seven-passenger power-folding second-row captain’s chairs
  • ActiveX-trimmed first and second rows
  • Heated front seats and steering wheel
  • Driver-seat memory and 400W Pro Power Onboard
  • BlueCruise-equipped 90-day trial on eligible vehicles
  • Available second-row bench (21F) to return to eight seats
  • Trailer Tow Prep Package included with Touring (202A)

Touring is a distinct Active equipment group, not a separate retail trim.

Family Travel Package (90T)

  • Requires Active Touring (202A)
  • Power Panoramic Vista Roof and Flex Powered Console
  • 360-degree zone lighting, device holder and front seatback 60W USB ports
  • Flexible 40/20/40 PowerFold third row and remote power-folding head restraints
  • Remote start

The package is not part of the base Active starting MSRP.

Body & Drivetrain Choices

  • Standard-length Expedition or Expedition MAX
  • 4×2 or available 4×4
  • Select and Touring equipment groups available in both body lengths

Additional Utility

  • Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package (61E) on eligible Active Touring 4×4 builds
  • Dealer-installed Active Life Package may be offered for gear management

Real-World Analysis

Active Select is a practical starting point when eight seats are used regularly. Its second-row bench, power-folding third row and well-equipped dashboard cover the main family duties without stepping up to a luxury trim.

Touring earns consideration for frequent cold-weather driving and longer trips. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel improve daily comfort, while power-folding captain’s chairs make third-row access easier. Families needing eight places can choose the eligible bench option rather than assuming Touring always seats seven.

Choose Active MAX when the third row stays occupied and luggage still needs room behind it; extra cargo capacity does not require moving to Platinum. When to Compare Platinum: Step up if ventilated leather front seats and the upgraded standard audio system are priorities you will use often.

Trim 2 of 4

2027 Ford Expedition Platinum

Premium Comfort With Distinct Appearance & Performance Packages

2027 Ford Expedition Platinum Trim Level

2027 Ford Expedition Platinum trim equipment, pricing and configuration
Starting MSRP* $70,870 Expedition | $73,870 Expedition MAX
Price Relationship* +$6,950 vs. Active

Base-price difference for comparable 4×2 standard-length or MAX bodies.

Step-Up Features — Standard
Premium Seating
  • Heated and ventilated leather-trimmed front seats
  • Heated, power-folding second-row captain’s chairs
Comfort & Technology
  • 10-speaker B&O sound system
  • Seven-color ambient lighting
  • Flex Powered Console and 400W Pro Power Onboard
Available Packages & OptionsDriver’s (59J), 30th Anniversary, Stealth and Ultimate

The Platinum badge describes a starting point, not one fixed set of option packages. Check package codes carefully—appearance, high-output performance and audio upgrades can change both cost and availability.

Driver’s Package (59J)

  • 22-speaker B&O Unleashed audio and wireless phone charging
  • Power-deployable running boards and Panoramic Vista Roof
  • Power-adjustable pedals, upgraded mirrors and illuminated rear spoiler

Availability varies by Platinum configuration; this package is included in certain performance package combinations.

30th Anniversary Appearance (91A)

  • Unique anniversary badging and 22-inch wheels
  • Salt Crystal Gray interior with special accents
  • Blue Ember Metallic offered as an extra-cost paint choice

Cannot be combined with Stealth Appearance (60D), Stealth Performance (19B) or Ultimate (17A).

Stealth Appearance (60D)

  • Dark exterior styling, 22-inch Magnetite wheels and Black Onyx seating
  • Retains standard 400-hp powertrain
  • Driver’s Package can be specified

Different from Stealth Performance; not compatible with 30th Anniversary or Ultimate.

Stealth Performance (19B)

  • 4×4-only with 440-hp / 510-lb-ft high-output V6
  • 24-inch Ebony wheels, high-flow exhaust and controlled damping
  • Includes Stealth Appearance, Driver’s Package and Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow

Requires an eligible Black Onyx interior. Not compatible with 30th Anniversary or Ultimate.

Platinum Ultimate (17A)

  • 4×4-only 440-hp high-output V6
  • 24-inch Tarnished Dark Metallic wheels and continuously controlled damping
  • Multi-contour front seating and illuminated grille
  • High-flow exhaust and premium comfort equipment

An alternative high-output personality, not an addition to the anniversary appearance package.

Body & Seating Options

  • Standard-length or MAX; 4×2 or 4×4
  • Eligible optional second-row bench (21F) offers eight-passenger seating

Real-World Analysis

Platinum is the more substantial everyday comfort step. Ventilated leather front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs and upgraded standard audio make a difference before any appearance or performance package is added.

The package choice is the key to shopping Platinum well. The 30th Anniversary treatment emphasizes distinctive design, while Stealth Performance and Ultimate are separate 4×4 configurations with the 440-hp engine and additional driving hardware. Those paths are not interchangeable or universally compatible.

Compare a standard Platinum with Active Touring first to judge the seating, materials and sound system. When to Compare Tremor: Choose the dedicated trail setup for repeated off-pavement use; a properly equipped Platinum 4×4 can offer high-output acceleration without Tremor’s specialized off-road equipment.

Trim 3 of 4

2027 Ford Expedition Tremor

Factory 4×4 Capability For Regular Off-Pavement Driving

2027 Ford Expedition Tremor Trim Level

2027 Ford Expedition Tremor trim equipment, pricing and configuration
Starting MSRP* $82,720 | Standard-length 4×4 only
Price Relationship* Different Starting Configurations

Tremor includes 4×4, the high-output engine and factory trail hardware. Platinum starts in 4×2, so compare a similarly configured Platinum 4×4 rather than treating the base-price gap as a direct upgrade cost.

Trail-Focused Equipment — Standard
High-Output Powertrain
  • 440-hp / 510-lb-ft 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost V6
  • Intelligent 4×4 and two-speed transfer case
  • 3.73 electronic-locking rear differential
  • Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow equipment
Trail Control & Protection
  • Trail Control, Trail Turn Assist and Trail One-Pedal Drive
  • Rock Crawl mode and off-road-tuned suspension
  • 33-inch-class all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels
  • Skid-plate and fuel-tank protection
  • Front tow hooks, auxiliary grille lighting and Electric Spice details
Cabin & Convenience
  • Heated and ventilated leather-trimmed front seats
  • Power-folding second-row captain’s chairs and flexible PowerFold third row
  • Panoramic Vista Roof and Flex Powered Console
  • 360-degree zone lighting and 10-speaker B&O audio
Body Configuration Standard-length only; seven seats in standard configuration, with an eligible second-row bench for eight
Available Packages & OptionsDriver’s Package (59J) and select equipment

Tremor includes its core high-output engine and trail hardware; optional premium audio does not replace that foundation.

Driver’s Package (59J)

  • 22-speaker B&O Unleashed sound
  • Wireless phone charging and additional premium convenience features

A way to add premium audio without losing the factory trail setup.

Available Configurations

  • Optional second-row bench on eligible builds
  • Confirm any additional options and the vehicle-specific tow rating
  • No MAX body offered for Tremor

Real-World Analysis

Tremor is a capability-focused alternative to Platinum, not a conventional luxury step up. Its high-output V6, locking rear differential, underbody protection and trail controls work together for drivers who regularly travel beyond maintained pavement.

On gravel access roads and muddy trails around North-Central West Virginia, that factory equipment can be more useful than an appearance package. The all-terrain tires and off-road suspension also give Tremor a driving character worth assessing on the pavement you use every day.

Tremor comes only in the standard-length body, and Platinum 4×4 can offer the same engine output through selected packages. When to Compare King Ranch: If premium materials and audio matter more than off-road hardware—or MAX cargo space is essential—King Ranch offers a different direction.

Trim 4 of 4

2027 Ford Expedition King Ranch

Signature Leather Styling With Premium Audio & Amenities

2027 Ford Expedition King Ranch Trim Level

2027 Ford Expedition King Ranch trim equipment, pricing and configuration
Starting MSRP* $83,015 Expedition | $86,015 Expedition MAX
Price Relationship* Similar Starting Prices, Different Configurations

King Ranch starts in 4×2 while Tremor includes 4×4 and the high-output V6. Compare similarly equipped 4×4 vehicles before treating the base MSRP gap as meaningful.

Distinctive King Ranch Equipment
Signature Interior
  • Mesa Del Rio leather-trimmed seating
  • Southwestern-inspired detailing and accent materials
  • Power-deployable running boards
Technology & Design
  • 22-speaker B&O Unleashed audio included
  • Sinister Bronze exterior details and unique King Ranch appearance
  • Wireless phone charging and premium convenience equipment
Powertrain & Body
  • Standard-output 400-hp EcoBoost V6
  • 4×2 or 4×4; standard-length or MAX
  • Seven-passenger captain’s-chair configuration
Changes From Tremor King Ranch replaces Tremor’s specialized trail appearance and off-road hardware with a leather-focused luxury cabin; it does not inherit the high-output 440-hp engine.
Available Packages & OptionsBody length, drivetrain and connected services

King Ranch comes generously equipped. The main choices are body length, drivetrain and optional access plans, rather than the Platinum appearance or high-output performance packages.

Body & Drivetrain

  • Standard-length Expedition or longer Expedition MAX
  • 4×2 or 4×4 configuration choices
  • Standard seven-passenger seating with second-row captain’s chairs
  • Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow equipment included on eligible King Ranch 4×4 configurations

Connected Services & Driver Assistance

  • Available one-time purchase option for BlueCruise access, subject to Ford terms and compatible highways
  • Longer-term Ford Connectivity and Ford Security Package options available; activation and service terms apply

Real-World Analysis

King Ranch takes the Expedition in a distinctive luxury direction rather than continuing Tremor’s off-road equipment. Mesa Del Rio leather, rich interior detailing and the standard 22-speaker audio system define the experience without needing to build an extensive package combination.

That appeal is strongest when cabin materials and entertainment are part of nearly every drive. The longer King Ranch MAX is available for families who still need luggage space with the third row occupied, while the standard-length body keeps the same signature interior personality.

King Ranch uses the standard-output V6 and does not inherit Tremor’s locking differential or dedicated trail protection. When to Compare Platinum: Choose Platinum if you prefer configurable appearance packages or available high-output performance over the King Ranch leather theme.

Narrow the Final Choice

What Changes Between the Closest Expedition Choices?

The Expedition lineup is not one straight ladder of upgrades. These five comparisons help you decide when a different body style, equipment group or trim offers something worth choosing.

Standard Expedition vs. MAX

Choose the standard Expedition when three rows meet your passenger needs and a shorter body makes daily parking or garage access more convenient.

Consider Expedition MAX when the third row stays occupied and you regularly need room for luggage behind it. For a full-family trip to Canaan Valley, that extra cargo space can be more useful than moving up a trim.

Active Select vs. Active Touring

Choose Active Select when eight-passenger seating and the Expedition’s standard technology cover your needs without additional comfort equipment.

Consider Active Touring when heated seating, a heated steering wheel and easier third-row access through captain’s chairs will improve everyday use. An available bench can preserve eight-passenger seating, while the Family Travel Package adds another level of convenience.

Active Touring vs. Platinum

Stay with Active Touring when family conveniences and heated seating provide the comfort you’re looking for. It may already meet your needs without the expense of a higher trim.

Move to Platinum when ventilated leather seating, upgraded audio and a more refined interior will make a meaningful difference on frequent drives. Its additional appearance and performance packages offer flexibility, but only if those upgrades matter to you.

Platinum vs. Tremor

Choose Platinum when cabin comfort is your priority, even if you want the available high-output V6. An eligible Platinum 4×4 performance package can deliver that extra power without requiring Tremor’s dedicated trail equipment.

Choose Tremor when you regularly encounter conditions that justify factory off-road suspension, underbody protection and specialized traction equipment. Tremor is a capability-focused alternative, not simply a more expensive Platinum, and it does not offer MAX.

Tremor vs. King Ranch

Choose Tremor when its standard 4×4 hardware and high-output V6 support the kind of rough-surface driving you actually do.

Choose King Ranch when signature leather materials, distinctive styling and premium audio are more rewarding than dedicated trail capability. King Ranch also offers MAX. Their starting prices may appear close, but Tremor begins with 4×4 while King Ranch begins with 4×2, so the comparison is not like-for-like.

Choose the Configuration Before the Badge

Start with the requirements you cannot compromise on: passenger seating, cargo space and the driving conditions your Expedition must handle. Then compare the comfort and technology you’ll use most often. The right combination may be an equipment package or MAX body style rather than the next trim in the lineup.

Your Day-to-Day Priorities

Start with How You Use Your Expedition

Choose the routine that sounds most familiar. See a trim to compare first, plus another configuration worth considering if your priorities change.






Trim to Compare First

2027 Ford Expedition Active Select

For frequent eight-person trips, Active Select gives you the second-row bench that makes a full carpool possible without moving to a higher trim.

Also compare: Active Touring with the optional bench if its heated comfort and added conveniences would get regular use.

Trim to Compare First

2027 Ford Expedition Active MAX

When passengers occupy all three rows, Active MAX leaves more room for their bags behind the third row without requiring a luxury trim.

Also compare: Platinum MAX if long-distance comfort, especially ventilated front seats, is equally important.

Trim to Compare First

2027 Ford Expedition Active Touring (202A)

Touring makes frequent trips with third-row passengers easier through its captain’s chairs, while heated front seats and a heated steering wheel help on cold mornings.

Also compare: Platinum if ventilated leather seating would make warm-weather driving noticeably more comfortable.

Trim to Compare First

2027 Ford Expedition Platinum

If you spend hours at a time on the highway, Platinum’s ventilated leather front seats and upgraded audio make the comfort step more meaningful.

Also compare: Active Touring if heated seats and everyday convenience already cover your priorities.

Trim to Compare First

2027 Ford Expedition Tremor

When ruts, mud and uneven ground are a regular part of the trip, Tremor’s factory trail protection and traction systems have a clear purpose.

Also compare: Active 4×4 if your outings mostly involve paved roads and occasional maintained gravel.

Trim to Compare First

2027 Ford Expedition King Ranch

For drivers who value how the cabin looks and feels on every trip, King Ranch builds its signature leather and premium audio into the experience.

Also compare: Platinum if you prefer a different interior style or want an available high-output performance package.


Frequently Asked Questions

Details Worth Settling Before You Shop

Get answers about package compatibility, fuel, towing, connected driving features and purchase costs.

Can Platinum's 30th Anniversary Package be combined with the 440-hp V6?

No. The 30th Anniversary Appearance Package (91A) cannot be combined with Stealth Performance (19B) or Platinum Ultimate (17A), the packages that offer the 440-hp high-output V6 on Platinum. Choose the anniversary styling or the high-output performance package.

Does the 2027 Ford Expedition require premium gasoline?

No. Ford's 2027 Expedition owner's manual specifies regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Check the owner's manual for your vehicle for fuel guidance before towing or other demanding use.

Is Open On Approach included with every Ford Split Gate?

No. The power-operated Ford Split Gate is part of the Expedition's core equipment, while Open On Approach is available on select configurations. Check the individual vehicle's equipment list for that feature.

What should I check before towing a heavy camper or boat?

The highest 2027 Expedition tow rating of up to 9,600 pounds requires a properly equipped 4×4 configuration with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package. Check the vehicle-specific tow rating, hitch requirements and loaded trailer weight before choosing an SUV.

Can I use Ford BlueCruise while towing a trailer?

No. Ford states that BlueCruise cannot be used while towing. Its hands-free driving capability is limited to designated compatible highways and still requires an attentive driver.

What happens when the included Ford BlueCruise plan or trial ends?

Continued hands-free BlueCruise use requires an active plan after any included trial or plan period. Plan duration and purchase options can vary by vehicle, so check the connected-services details for the specific Expedition.

Do the starting MSRPs include options and destination fees?

No. The starting MSRPs in this guide exclude optional equipment, destination and delivery charges, taxes, title, registration and applicable dealer fees. A dealership's advertised selling price is a separate vehicle-specific offer; review the window sticker and full purchase quote.

Where can I compare a 2027 Expedition at T&S Ford?

Browse available Expedition inventory online or visit T&S Ford at 2231 White Hall Boulevard, Whitehall, WV 26554 to compare available vehicles and confirm their installed equipment.
