2026 Ford Expedition/Expedition Max
2026 Ford
Expedition/Expedition Max
As Ford’s full-sized three-row SUV, the Expedition likes to be a little over the top. One way it does that is by providing abundant space, especially in the foot-longer Max version. It’s also able to tow as much as 9,600 pounds or carry up to eight passengers in comfort. In changes for 2026, all trims are now available with an off-road underbody shield (the Tremor gets one standard), while the Platinum and above have digital device holders on the backs of the front headrests and are eligible for a new rear-seat entertainment system with wireless headphone and remote-control integration. The base trim, Active, is now eligible for a Flexible Seating third-row option with a 40/20/40 split to match the second row. The mid-grade Platinum rides on redesigned wheels and its Stealth Performance Package now includes 24-inch Ebony-painted wheels and the high-output EcoBoost V6 engine upgrade. The Platinum and Tremor have swapped Wild Green for Marsh Gray in their color palettes, and the Tremor now has ventilated front seats. The Platinum and King Ranch are also available with a two-tone exterior, pairing a black roof with select colors.
