Active: The Capable Standard

The first of the 2026 Ford Expedition trims, the Active serves as the base model for the Expedition family. While many base models tend to be minimal in their available features, the Active offers a surprising array of desirable equipment as standard. With a twin-turbo 3.5L V6 engine producing an impressive 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, and a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, the Active has the power to tow trailers up to 9,600 lbs when properly equipped.

Additional features found on the Active trim include:

• SYNC 4
• Ford Co-Pilot360
• Rear-view camera
• Seating for up to 8

The Active offers incredible value as Ford's most accessible Expedition trim. If you're in the market for a personal Expedition and don't need the extra features included on higher trims, the Active is the ideal choice for a full-size family SUV.

Tremor: Off-Road Capability Meets Family Practicality

For buyers who want the versatility and capability of the Ford Expedition, but with some off-road cred tossed in for good measure, the 2026 Ford Expedition Tremor is the trim for you. The Tremor adds serious off-road credentials to the Expedition lineup, bringing rugged terrain features and a durable four-wheel drive system while still delivering the comfort and features of the standard Expedition.

• Four-wheel drive
• High-Output 3.5L V6 engine
• Off-road tuned suspension with extra ground clearance
• Trail Turn Assist
• Skid plates
• Locking rear differential (available)
• Unique Tremor exterior treatment
• 18" High-Gloss Black Aluminum wheels with all-terrain tires

While not the heaviest Expedition available, the Tremor still boasts a remarkable towing capacity of up to 9,000 lbs when properly equipped.

King Ranch: Distinctive Leather Seats and Practicality

For buyers looking for a family-friendly yet upscale Expedition, the King Ranch is an excellent choice. It offers distinctive leather trim and unique features throughout the cabin, alongside all the standard practicality and power you'd expect from an Expedition.

• Leather seats
• Fold-flat third-row seating
• Panoramic Vista Roof
• 22-speaker B&O Sound System
• 360-degree camera
• Hands-free liftgate
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated second-row seats
• Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go

Compared to similarly priced luxury SUVs, the King Ranch offers tremendous value.

Platinum: Ultimate Expedition

Representing Ford's pinnacle of performance, luxury, and technology, the 2026 Ford Expedition Platinum is as upscale as it gets. With standard features found on no other trim, along with upgraded versions of features found on lower trims, the Platinum is a buyer's dream.

• 22" polished aluminum wheels
• Platinum-exclusive quilted leather seats
• Massaging front seats
• Enhanced 360-degree camera display
• Head-up display
• Rear seat climate controls with a separate screen

The 2026 Ford Expedition Platinum serves as Ford's competitor to the Lincoln Navigator. If you're choosing between the two and want the luxury of a Platinum-level package, this is the trim for you, whether you're buying new or upgrading from a lower Expedition trim and your budget can accommodate the added cost.
