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

Four retail trims, two body lengths, and meaningful equipment packages. Find the seating, cargo space, capability & comfort that make sense for the way your family travels.


The 2027 Ford Expedition makes room for the entire crew without turning every outing into a packing puzzle. Its three-row cabin, Ford Split Gate, expansive driver displays, and available four-wheel drive serve families whose plans can change between the school run, a long highway trip, and a weekend near the water.

In Savannah, that flexibility matters when carpool duty turns into a cooler-and-beach-chair load for Tybee Island or a loaded drive north toward the Lowcountry. The right Expedition starts with a practical choice: standard-length or Expedition MAX. From there, the four retail trims vary in passenger amenities, road-trip technology, adventurous hardware, and interior character.

Use the must-have Feature Finder first, explore side-by-side topics and the individual trim slides, then compare the final configurations in person at J.C. Lewis Ford. Equipment groups and packages matter here; a feature available on an Expedition is not necessarily included on every version of that trim.

Popular Ford Expedition Questions Answers in 60 Seconds

How many 2027 Ford Expedition retail trims are there?
Four: Active, Platinum, Tremor and King Ranch. The XL Special Service Vehicle is a fleet-only configuration, not a fifth retail trim.


Which 2027 Expedition trims come in MAX?
Active, Platinum and King Ranch are available as Expedition MAX. Tremor comes only in the standard-length body.


Which 2027 Expedition is the least expensive?
Active starts at $63,920 MSRP* in standard length. Active MAX starts at $66,920 MSRP*; different equipment groups, drivetrain and options change the final price.


Do the Active Select and Active Touring names represent separate trims?
No. They are two Active equipment groups: Select (200A) and Touring (202A). Touring upgrades seating, driver convenience and package access.


Which trim has the high-output 440-horsepower V6?
Tremor includes it. Certain 4x4 Platinum models can add it with Stealth Performance or Ultimate; it is not offered on Active or King Ranch.


Can an Expedition seat eight passengers?
Yes. Active Select seats eight, while an optional second-row bench is offered on eligible Touring, Tremor and Platinum builds. Standard captain’s-chair configurations seat seven.


What distinguishes Tremor from Platinum?
Tremor is the dedicated off-road trim with 4x4, locking rear differential, all-terrain tires and trail aids. Platinum emphasizes cabin comfort, available premium features and distinct performance/appearance packages.


Is hands-free BlueCruise included for the full ownership period?
No. Eligible retail equipment includes a limited trial or specified plan, with subscriptions or one-time purchase options. Verify the exact term and activation requirements for each vehicle.

What Every Retail Expedition Brings to the Drive

Start with shared utility. Then decide what deserves an upgrade.

Every retail 2027 Expedition uses a 10-speed automatic transmission with a twin-turbo 3.5L EcoBoost V6, three rows of seating, the distinctive two-piece Ford Split Gate, a 24-inch panoramic driver display and a 13.2-inch center display. The Ford Digital Experience, wireless phone integration and a broad driver-assistance foundation give even the entry retail configuration a modern starting point.

Expedition MAX is a body-length choice rather than an additional trim. It adds rear cargo room without creating a different equipment ladder. Choose the length that works for your parking and loading routine, then compare the Active, Platinum and King Ranch cabins in either size. Tremor is the deliberate exception: its standard-length body makes room for a specialized off-road setup.

Seating also deserves a closer look. The standard Active Select arrangement carries eight, while captain’s-chair layouts favor easy second-row access with seven seats. An available bench can change the count on certain upgraded trims, so the equipment group and second-row seat listing matter more than the badge by itself.


What's New for 2027

New Ways to Equip the Expedition You Want

The 2027 updates focus on choice: a new Platinum anniversary treatment, a family-oriented Active package, added premium 4x2 configurations and fresh exterior colors. The underlying retail trims remain Active, Platinum, Tremor and King Ranch.

Active Touring

Family Travel Package Expands Flexibility

  • Available on Active Touring (202A), not base Select.
  • Combines panoramic Vista Roof, Flex Powered Console, 360-degree zone lighting and a digital device holder.
  • Adds a flexible power-folding third row and related convenience features.

Body & Drivetrain

More 4x2 Premium Configurations

  • New 4x2 availability for Platinum and King Ranch.
  • Both standard-length and MAX can be ordered in these luxury trims.
  • Tremor stays standard-length and 4x4 only.

Color & Equipment

New Paint Choices & Revised Options

  • Bronze Fire Metallic Tri-coat and Nocturnal Blue Metallic join the color palette; availability varies by trim.
  • The laminated windshield becomes standard.
  • Trailer Tow Prep and Heavy-Duty Tow availability varies by trim, drivetrain and package.

The Four Retail Trims Have Distinct Jobs

The main differences are not simply bigger wheels or a higher price. One trim favors family value, another cabin comfort, one factory trail driving, and one unmistakable leather craftsmanship.

Comparison Topic 2 of 5

Compare the Base Price Before Adding a Package

These figures reflect public Ford starting MSRP and should not be confused with an as-equipped Touring, Ultimate, 30th Anniversary or MAX listing.

2027 Ford Expedition Starting Prices comparison
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: Compare like-for-like body and drivetrain configurations when possible. Tremor is 4x4-only, while the other listed starting MSRPs use 4x2; a heavily optioned Platinum can also overlap higher trims. Check actual window stickers rather than base prices alone.

Comparison Topic 4 of 5

Which Expedition Needs 440 HP or Dedicated 4x4 Hardware?

Ford offers two EcoBoost engine outputs and different tow/off-road configurations. The highest tow rating requires the correct combination, not simply a trim name.

Trim Engine & Drivetrain Towing / Trail Notes
Active
  • 400 HP 3.5L EcoBoost V6

What This Means: Need the 440-hp engine but not Tremor’s trail equipment? Compare Platinum 4x4 Performance/Ultimate. For a boat or camper, confirm the individual vehicle’s tow rating and trailer package.

Comparison Topic 5 of 5

MAX Changes Cargo Capacity; Seat Layout Changes Access

Passenger count and cargo length are two separate choices. MAX gives more space behind the third row; a bench adds the eighth seating position.

2027 Ford Expedition Seating & Cargo comparison
Choice Standard Expedition Expedition MAX
Cargo behind third row ~ 22.9 cu. ft. ~ 37.4 cu. ft.
Maximum cargo, seats folded ~ 108.5 cu. ft. ~ 123.1 cu. ft.
Overall length ~ 209.9 in. ~ 221.7 in.
Eligible trims Active, Platinum
Tremor, King Ranch
Active, Platinum
King Ranch
Passenger seating
  • Seven seats with second-row captain’s chairs
  • Eight with an eligible second-row bench
  • Seating depends on trim and equipment group, not body length; King Ranch seats seven

What This Means: The MAX adds about 14.5 cubic feet behind an upright third row. That extra luggage space can matter on a fully loaded Savannah-to-Atlanta family trip when every seating row is occupied; try your real stroller or suitcases before choosing the longer body.

Additional Utility Options

  • Dealer-installed Active Life Package with cargo management system and cargo side curtain

Real-World Analysis

Active delivers the Expedition’s essential family strengths without requiring an appearance or luxury package. Select begins with the eight-passenger bench and flexible cargo space; Touring changes daily comfort more substantially with heated front seats, memory settings and power-folding second-row captain’s chairs.

For households routinely loading children, sports gear or extra passengers, the difference between the two equipment groups is worth trying in person. The optional Family Travel Package adds conveniences that support longer journeys, including power-folding third-row versatility, device charging and the panoramic roof; those features are not included on every Touring.

Choose Active MAX when the third row stays occupied and luggage space is frequently tight. The longer body is available with Select or Touring, so cargo needs need not determine the comfort group.

Where the Next Comparison Matters: Move to Platinum when ventilated leather seating, standard B&O audio and a wider choice of premium packages are priorities. An Active Touring can already cover many everyday comfort needs.

  • Black-painted roof (90A) on eligible 91A, 19B and 17A builds
  • Rear-seat entertainment on eligible configurations; restrictions apply
  • Dealer-installed Active Life cargo package available; included with 30th Anniversary builds

Real-World Analysis

Platinum makes the first substantial move into premium cabin materials while preserving both Expedition body lengths. Its standard ventilated leather front seats, heated second row and B&O audio give families a more finished long-distance experience before any optional appearance package enters the picture.

The most important decision is which Platinum configuration to build. The 30th Anniversary and Stealth Appearance packages focus on distinct visual treatments, while Stealth Performance and Ultimate add the 440-hp engine and more comprehensive chassis and premium equipment. Stealth Performance already includes Stealth Appearance and the Driver’s Package; Ultimate includes the Driver’s Package as well. These are separate package paths, not a stack of every option.

Compare a 4x2 or 4x4 Platinum with the actual equipment you want, then check the window sticker for package compatibility. Platinum MAX remains a strong choice when extra cargo capacity and a leather-trimmed cabin are priorities together.

Where the Next Comparison Matters: Choose Tremor when its integrated locking differential, all-terrain tires and underbody protection matter more than Platinum’s range of cabin and appearance choices. Tremor does not inherit Platinum’s special packages.

Driver’s Package (59J)

  • 22-speaker B&O Unleashed audio upgrade
  • Wireless charging
  • Power-adjustable pedals
  • Upgraded mirrors
  • Illuminated rear spoiler

Other Available Options

  • Second-row power-folding bench (21F) raises seating from seven to eight
  • Rear-seat entertainment (18E) available, but cannot combine with the digital device holder
  • Dealer-installed Active Life cargo package available

Real-World Analysis

Tremor is designed around a cohesive factory off-road setup. The standard 440-hp engine works with its locking rear differential, all-terrain tires, underbody protection and trail controls, so shoppers get the specialized hardware without assembling several separate Platinum packages.

On sandy, rutted access roads or trips to remote campsites around coastal Georgia, that combination offers added confidence and control. On everyday pavement, its larger all-terrain tires and higher suspension are still part of the driving experience; the choice should reflect how often the trail equipment will actually be used.

Tremor seats seven with its standard second-row captain’s chairs, offers an eight-seat bench, and comes only in the standard-length body. If regular family travel demands MAX cargo space or the 440-hp V6 without Tremor styling and trail equipment, compare a properly equipped Platinum 4x4.

Where the Next Comparison Matters: King Ranch trades trail specialization for a very different ownership experience: distinctive leather craftsmanship and premium audio. It does not inherit Tremor’s 440-hp engine or dedicated off-road hardware.

  • Rear-seat entertainment (18E), subject to equipment restrictions
  • Dealer-installed Active Life cargo package

Real-World Analysis

King Ranch centers the Expedition experience on materials you see and touch every day. Its Mesa Del Rio leather theme, distinctive details and 22-speaker B&O system create an unmistakable cabin character without selecting a separate premium-audio package.

The seven-passenger captain’s-chair layout is central to the experience, and both standard-length and MAX bodies are available. Families who routinely travel with all three rows occupied may appreciate the MAX cargo area, while anyone requiring eight seats should compare an eligible Active, Platinum or Tremor bench configuration.

King Ranch uses the standard-output 400-hp V6 and offers 4x2 or 4x4. It is an alternative luxury direction, not the continuation of Tremor’s trail equipment. For stronger acceleration and a different premium presentation, Platinum Stealth Performance or Ultimate 4x4 are the most relevant counterpoints.

Where the Next Comparison Matters: Compare Platinum when you prefer a different interior treatment or want the available 440-hp high-output V6, Stealth styling or 30th Anniversary appearance package.

Other Package Notes: The optional Ford Connectivity and Ford Security packages relate to connected services, activation and plan terms rather than a trim-specific performance upgrade. The dealer-installed Active Life cargo package is offered across the retail trims and included with eligible Platinum 30th Anniversary builds. Check individual window stickers for package combinations and dealer-installed equipment.

Narrow the Final Choice

Make the Final Call Between Expedition Configurations

The right Expedition isn't always the next step up in price.
These quick comparisons highlight the differences that matter most.

Expedition vs. Expedition MAX

Standard Expedition offers three-row flexibility in a shorter body that's easier to manage in tighter parking spaces.

Expedition MAX adds approximately 14.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, making it especially useful when passengers and luggage travel together.

Active Select vs. Active Touring

Active Select delivers eight-passenger seating, cloth upholstery and the Expedition's core technology at the lowest starting price.

Active Touring adds heated front seats, upgraded materials and standard second-row captain's chairs, with an optional eight-seat bench and Family Travel Package.

Active Touring vs. Platinum

Active Touring provides many of the comforts families use regularly, with available upgrades for longer trips.

Platinum adds ventilated leather front seats, B&O audio and a wider selection of premium appearance and performance packages.

Platinum vs. Tremor

Platinum prioritizes premium comfort and customization, with an available 440-hp V6 in eligible 4x4 performance packages.

Tremor includes the 440-hp engine, locking rear differential, all-terrain tires and dedicated trail hardware as standard, but isn't offered as MAX.

Tremor vs. King Ranch

Tremor emphasizes off-road performance with its high-output engine, trail suspension and protective hardware.

King Ranch takes a different direction with signature Mesa Del Rio leather, standard 22-speaker B&O audio and available MAX configurations, while retaining the 400-hp V6.

Choose the Equipment Before the Appearance

Start with body length and seating, then decide how much comfort, towing or off-road capability you'll use. Once those priorities are settled, choose the interior and appearance packages that make your Expedition your own.

Still Deciding?

Which Expedition Fits the Way You Travel?

Choose the kind of trip you make most often. Each result suggests a configuration to compare first and an alternative when your priorities change.

Configuration to Compare First

Active Select (200A)

Eight seats in the entry equipment group

Why It Fits

Active Select seats eight with its standard second-row bench, making it a practical starting point for school pickups, sports and everyday errands. You also get the Expedition’s core displays and Ford Split Gate.

Also Compare

Active Touring (202A) adds heated front seats and a more comfortable second row. Select the available bench (21F) if you still need eight seats.

Configuration to Compare First

Active MAX — Select (200A)

Extra cargo space with the third row occupied

Why It Fits

Active MAX Select keeps the standard eight-seat bench and adds meaningful luggage room behind an occupied third row. The available dealer-installed Active Life Package adds cargo-management features for gear-heavy trips.

Also Compare

Active Touring MAX (202A) with the available Family Travel Package (90T) if longer trips call for added rear-passenger charging and flexible third-row seating. An optional bench preserves eight seats.

Configuration to Compare First

Active Touring (202A)

Family comfort with a useful package upgrade

Why It Fits

Touring brings heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and power-folding second-row captain’s chairs. Add the available Family Travel Package (90T) when passenger charging and a more flexible third row matter on long trips.

Also Compare

Platinum (600A) if ventilated leather front seats and standard B&O audio would make frequent long drives more enjoyable.

Configuration to Compare First

Platinum (600A)

Premium seating with room to personalize

Why It Fits

Platinum starts with heated and ventilated leather front seats. Look for the Driver’s Package (59J) if 22-speaker audio matters, or the 30th Anniversary Appearance Package (91A) if its exclusive styling and available Blue Ember finish are the draw.

Also Compare

King Ranch (400A) if you prefer its signature Mesa Del Rio leather and 22-speaker sound system already included, rather than choosing a Platinum package.

Configuration to Compare First

Tremor (501A)

Trail capability included from the factory

Why It Fits

Tremor includes the 440-hp V6, electronic-locking rear differential and protective trail hardware as standard. Those features make the difference on regular trips to rough campsites and uneven access roads.

Also Compare

Platinum 4x4 with Stealth Performance (19B) or Ultimate (17A) if you want 440-hp performance with a more road-focused setup and the option of a MAX body.

Configuration to Compare First

King Ranch (400A)

Distinctive materials and premium sound included

Why It Fits

King Ranch includes its Mesa Del Rio leather and 22-speaker B&O Unleashed audio without adding a package. Its distinctive cabin comes in standard-length or MAX configurations.

Also Compare

Platinum (600A) with the available Driver’s Package (59J) if premium audio matters most but you prefer a different interior theme or appearance options.

Expedition Questions

Answers Before You Choose a Vehicle

Confirm the seating, towing, engine and package details that can change the Expedition you take home.

Is the Expedition MAX a separate trim or a longer body style?

MAX is the longer body style available on Active, Platinum and King Ranch. The 2027 Tremor comes only in standard length. MAX adds cargo room behind the third row without changing the trim lineup.

Can the 2027 Ford Expedition tow 9,600 pounds?

Yes. A properly equipped standard-length Expedition 4x4 with Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow (61E) can tow up to 9,600 pounds, excluding configurations with 24-inch wheels. Trailers over 7,000 pounds require a weight-distributing hitch. Expedition MAX 4x4 is rated up to 9,000 pounds. Confirm the individual vehicle’s towing and payload limits before towing.

Can I get eight-passenger seating with an upgraded cabin?

Yes. Active Select seats eight as standard, while Active Touring, eligible Platinum and Tremor configurations offer an optional second-row 40/20/40 bench (21F). King Ranch seats seven. Check the seating layout and package compatibility on the specific vehicle.

Which 2027 Expedition trims offer the 440-hp engine?

Tremor includes the 440-hp High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost V6 as standard. Platinum offers it with the 4x4 Stealth Performance (19B) or Platinum Ultimate (17A) package. Active and King Ranch use the 400-hp V6.

Can I combine the 30th Anniversary Package with Platinum Ultimate?

No. The 30th Anniversary Appearance Package (91A) and Platinum Ultimate (17A) are separate, incompatible Platinum configurations. The anniversary package offers exclusive styling and available Blue Ember Metallic paint; Ultimate is the 4x4 high-output performance and luxury path.

Is the Family Travel Package standard on Active Touring?

No. Family Travel (90T) is optional on Active Touring (202A). It adds the panoramic Vista Roof, Flex Powered Console, digital device holder, zone lighting and flexible third-row equipment. Confirm package code 90T on the window sticker.

Does BlueCruise let you drive hands-free everywhere?

No. BlueCruise provides hands-free driver assistance only on compatible mapped highways. The driver must remain attentive and ready to take control. Equipment, activation, trial periods and subscription terms depend on the vehicle and selected plan.
