Active is the entry point into the 2026 Expedition lineup, and it's a genuinely strong place to start rather than a stripped-down base model.

Standard features on Active include:

• 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6, rated at 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque
• 24-inch panoramic display paired with a 13.2-inch center touchscreen
• Ford Digital Experience infotainment
• Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 with adaptive cruise control
• Ford Split Gate rear liftgate
• Tri-zone automatic climate control

Active comes standard with two-wheel drive, with four-wheel drive available as an option. It's available in both standard and MAX wheelbase, making it a flexible starting point whether you need maximum cargo room or a more manageable footprint.

Tremor is Ford's off-road-focused Expedition trim, worth a close look if your weekends involve gravel roads, unpaved trails, or terrain that rules out a standard full-size SUV.

Tremor adds:

• Standard High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost V6, rated at 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque
• Standard four-wheel drive with a 3.73 electronic locking rear differential
• 33-inch all-terrain tires
• Rock Crawl and other off-road-specific drive modes
• Rugged exterior styling and underbody protection

You still get the comfortable interior and tech features expected from a modern Expedition. Tremor is standard-wheelbase only, so it's worth confirming cargo needs against that constraint before deciding on this trim.

Platinum is the right choice if you want the Expedition to feel closer to a luxury vehicle.

Standard and available features include:

• Standard 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (400 hp), with the 440-hp High-Output engine available as an option
• Standard four-wheel drive
• Massaging front seats
• Panoramic Vista Roof
• Upgraded leather seating surfaces
• Premium audio system

Platinum suits buyers who log a lot of highway miles or simply want their daily drive to feel exceptional, and it's available in both standard and MAX wheelbase. It also holds its own against luxury full-size SUV competitors on comfort and refinement.

King Ranch is one of Ford's most recognizable trims, bringing its signature Western-inspired design details to the Expedition, a look and feel that stands apart from the rest of the lineup.

Standard King Ranch features include:

• King Ranch leather seating with Del Rio leather, unique Kingsville stitching, and embossed badging
• Standard four-wheel drive
• Standard 400-hp 3.5L EcoBoost V6, with the 440-hp High-Output engine available as an option
• Distinctive exterior badging and exclusive color options
• Premium interior trim and materials throughout the cabin
• Available in both standard and MAX wheelbase

King Ranch appeals to buyers who want their Expedition to have real personality and presence without sacrificing capability or comfort. Between the leatherwork and the badging, it's built to stand out the moment you pull into a parking lot.
