What Trim Levels and MAX Wheelbase Body Styles Are Available on the 2027 Ford Expedition?

The 2027 Ford Expedition is available in four core trim levels—Active, Tremor, King Ranch, and Platinum—with the extended-wheelbase Expedition MAX offered on the **Active**, **King Ranch**, and **Platinum** models for additional cargo space and cargo length.

The Active serves as the entry trim for the 2027 Expedition lineup, with standard 18-inch aluminum wheels, tri-zone automatic climate control, a 24-inch panoramic display, and a 13.2-inch center display. The Tremor adds specialized off-road equipment and the high-output EcoBoost V6, while the King Ranch features premium Mesa Del Rio leather, distinctive Sinister Bronze exterior details, and a 22-speaker B&O Unleashed audio system. The Platinum adds leather-trimmed seating and upscale comfort features while offering upgrades such as Multi-Contour front seats with Active Motion massage, Continuously Controlled Damping suspension, and the available 30th Anniversary Appearance Package.

Wheelbase options separate the model line into standard and MAX variants. Standard 2027 Expedition models use a 122.5-inch wheelbase and measure 209.9 inches long overall. The extended Expedition MAX increases the wheelbase to 131.5 inches and overall length to 221.7 inches. The MAX provides 37.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 84.5 cubic feet behind the second row, and up to 123.1 cubic feet behind the first row.

When local drivers plan long mountain commutes along the U.S. 421 corridor near Deep Gap, the extended cargo floor of the MAX chassis accommodates gear for large families without sacrificing third-row legroom.

What Engine Powers the Off-Road 2027 Ford Expedition Tremor Trim?

The Tremor trim stands out with its off-road enhancements and a boosted 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine delivering 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque.

Engineered specifically for rugged terrain, the high-output twin-turbo V6 supplies an additional 40 hp and 30 lb-ft of torque compared to the standard EcoBoost engine. Power is distributed to all four wheels through an electronic active transfer case coupled with a 3.73:1 electronic-locking rear differential that locks the rear axle for balanced traction across loose soil, mud, or steep incline obstacles.

Beyond its engine upgrade, the Tremor features off-road hardware designed for wilderness trails:

  • 33-inch all-terrain tires mounted on unique 18-inch dark alloy wheels
  • 10.6 inches of ground clearance with approach, breakover, and departure angles optimized for steep grades
  • Steel underbody skid plates inspired by high-performance off-road trucks
  • Modified Higher Ride Suspension with premium passive shocks
  • Trail Turn Assist, which brakes the inside rear wheel during tight turns on unpaved surfaces to shrink the turning radius
  • Rock Crawl drive mode and Ford Trail Control, which automatically manages acceleration and braking to help maintain a selected speed over challenging terrain

For drivers exploring backcountry trails near the steep ridges surrounding Linville, this off-road platform combines heavy-duty trail capability with three-row cabin comfort.

Key technology features integrated into the package simplify trailer setup and maneuvering:

  • Pro Trailer Hitch Assist: Uses the rear camera and corner radars to control steering, throttle, and braking automatically while backing up to align the hitch ball directly under the trailer coupler.
  • Pro Trailer Backup Assist: Allows the driver to guide the direction of a backing trailer using a simple dashboard knob while the vehicle controls automatic counter-steering.
  • Integrated Trailer Brake Controller: Synchronizes the electric or electric-over-hydraulic brakes on the trailer with the vehicle’s service brakes for controlled stopping.
  • Extended Blind Spot Information System: Monitors hard-to-see lanes along both sides of the SUV and extends detection coverage along the full length of attached trailers.
