2027 Ford Expedition Preview

The Ford Expedition got a major update for 2025, and the '27 model is very much business as usual. This year does bring something special, though: Ford marks the full-size SUV's 30th anniversary with a new edition and some possible styling touches. Let's break it down.

Key Takeaways:

• Car and Driver states a 30th Anniversary Edition will join the lineup in 2027.
• The Expedition's available high-output 3.5-liter V6 produces 440 ponies.
• Maximum towing capacity for the Expedition is 9,600 pounds.

What Does Ford Add to the Expedition for 2027?

Most of the Expedition will look familiar following its recent refresh, but Ford celebrates three decades of the SUV with a new member of the lineup, a 30th Anniversary Edition with unique color combinations, like Blue Ember exterior paint that changes appearance depending on the light. Beyond that, major styling or equipment updates aren't expected, but there may be some small tweaks.

How Much Power Does the Expedition Have?

Every Expedition uses a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The standard version produces 400 horsepower, while an available high-output version increases output to 440 ponies. Buyers can choose rear- or four-wheel drive. The Ford Expedition uses an independent rear suspension across the lineup.

For drivers planning to venture beyond pavement, the Tremor adds some serious off-road hardware. Its equipment includes a raised suspension, underbody skid plates, and 18-inch wheels fitted with 33-inch General Grabber all-terrain tires.

The Tremor trim is tailor-made for the terrain, with extra ground clearance and skid plates to help protect its underside, and Ford also gives it 33-inch General Grabber all-terrain tires mounted on exclusive 18-inch wheels. Rock Crawl mode is also part of the package. A hill-descent system helps control speed, while Trail Turn Assist brakes the inside rear wheel during tight, low-speed turns on soft surfaces.

How Much Can the 2027 Expedition Tow?

When properly equipped, the standard-length Expedition can tow up to 9,600 pounds. Choosing the longer Ford Expedition Max gives you additional interior room, but max towing capacity drops to 9,000 pounds.

What Kind of Gas Mileage Does the Expedition Get?

Rear-wheel-drive Expeditions earn estimates of up to 16 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. With four-wheel drive, estimates come in at 15 mpg city, up to 22 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined.

Is There Enough Room for the Whole Family?

Space is one of the Expedition's biggest advantages. Both the standard model and the longer Expedition Max offer three rows, with a second-row bench included as standard equipment. Captain's chairs are available for buyers who prefer easier access to the third row. The second and third rows fold flat to create a level cargo floor, and the power-folding third row can be operated from either the rear seating area or cargo compartment.

When the seats are up, you get 22 cubic feet of cargo space in the standard Expedition, while the Max expands to 36 cubic feet. Fold the third row and capacity increases to 61 cubic feet in the standard model and 75 cubic feet in the Max.

What Tech Comes With the Expedition?

A 24-inch screen stretches across the dash, displaying digital gauges and other vehicle and infotainment information. A second touchscreen positioned close by features the main infotainment controls.

Google software powers the system, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto included. Over-the-air updates add or improve features without a dealership visit, and passengers can access entertainment or surf the web while the SUV is parked.
