The New Changes for the 2026 Ford Expedition

About the New 2026 Ford Expedition

After a mid-cycle redesign in 2025, the 2026 Expedition is expected to remain about the same, with a few minor updates and changes, including an optional rear entertainment system, a new snazzy 24-inch wheel design, and a new exterior color: Marsh Gray. Most of the attractive features of the 2025 model are carried over to the 2026 version, making the new version a smart choice.

Updated Styling

The new Expedition has a modern appearance with its striking front grille, sporty-looking vertically stacked LED headlights, and configurable daytime running lights. The roof-rack side rails and black running boards not only add a muscular appearance, but they also add functionality to the Expedition. In 2026, Ford equipped the Expedition with a multifunction, split tailgate for versatility in accessing and using the rear of this SUV. Exciting colors offered for the Expedition include Mojave Dusk, Salt Crystal Gray, and Wild Green.

Trim Structure

Ford offers the Expedition in four trims: the Active, Platinum, off-road-ready Tremor, and the luxurious King Ranch. As you move up the trim levels, you get more upscale features like supple leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats with a massaging function, and power-folding second and third-row back seats.

Technology Upgrades for 2026

Ford gives the Expedition cutting-edge technology features. Everyone in the family will appreciate the advanced 24-inch display that runs across the dashboard of this SUV.  It also has a 13.2-inch central infotainment system with the Ford Digital Experience system. This user-friendly interface offers dynamic graphics, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, Google built-in, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Depending on the trim, the modern Expedition has BlueCruise hands-free driving technology that integrates with select roads and highways around the Dallas area. Standard driver-assistance features that come with the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 include:

  • Pre-collision assist
  • Blind-spot assist
  • Reverse brake assist
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Intersection assist
  • Exit warning

Interior Comfort and Space Updates

One of the reasons Dallas drivers choose the Expedition is its roominess. This full-size SUV has three rows of seats that can fit up to eight people. Select trims include second-row captain’s chairs instead of a bench seat, increasing seating capacity to seven. All trims have tri-zone climate control, and the three upper levels have heated and ventilated front seats and heated second-row captain’s chairs. The Tremor and Platinum models come with a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen (B&O) premium speaker system, while the King Ranch has a 22-speaker B&O sound system.

Cargo and Storage Space

Depending on the flexible seating configurations, the Expedition gets between 21.6 and 108.5 cubic feet of cargo space. Tilt-and-slide second-row seats make accessing the third-row seats a breeze. The upper models of the Expedition have power-reclining and folding third-row seats that allow you to carry large and bulky items with the push of a button.

Families with small children will appreciate the generous LATCH connectors in the back rows to help secure car carrier seats. There are plenty of cubbyholes to stash personal items, as well as water bottles and hot drink holders.

Performance and Towing Improvements

The 2026 Expedition has performance capability and towing capacity similar to a Ford pickup truck. Engine options carry over from the 2025 models and include:

  • 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 with an output of 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque
  • 3.5-liter EcoBoost High Output V-6 that produces 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque

Both engines pair with a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission for smooth shifting, and you can choose rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which comes standard on the Tremor trim. Rear-wheel drive versions have a combined 19 mpg, and the four-wheel drive models get a combined 18 mpg.

Towing Capability

If you plan on towing with your 2026 Expedition, choose the tow package with Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, Trailer Reverse Guidance, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist so you can tow up to 9,600 pounds. This impressive tow capacity allows you to haul a fishing boat to Lewisville Lake, a horse trailer for trail rides at Marshall Creek Ranch, or a camping trailer for extended family road trips.

Off-Road and Adventure-Ready Enhancements

The Tremor trim comes equipped for off-road adventures, whether you take it on rugged trails at Northwest OHV Park near Bridgeport or backcountry adventures in Sabine National Forest in East Texas. This trim comes standard with four-wheel drive, an electronic locking rear differential, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and protective skid plates. The Tremor also has a specialized Rock Crawl Mode for driving over challenging terrain.  In addition, the Tremor has Trail One Control, which includes Tail One Pedal Drive and Trail Turn Assist, and comes with a heavy-duty trailer tow package.
