2026 Ford Expedition

If you want a full-size three-row SUV for hauling family, friends and gear, the Ford Expedition is a great place to start. Last year, Ford fully redesigned the standard-size Expedition and massive-size Expedition Max to incorporate more modern styling that echoes the current crop of F-150 pickup trucks, with which the Expedition shares many of its underpinnings. With that redesign still looming large in the rearview mirror, we expect only minor changes to the 2026 Ford Expedition.

There are a few full-size SUVs competing for your dollars, and most have been recently updated. For the "smaller" Expedition, the most obvious rivals are from General Motors in the form of the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. However, the Nissan Armada was also recently redesigned and it's surprisingly competitive. The Jeep Wagoneer or hybrid-only Toyota Sequoia might also be worth a look. If you're looking at the bigger Expedition Max, the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL are direct competitors, as is the Jeep Wagoneer L.

The biggest changes to the newest version of the Expedition are inside, where Ford overhauled it with a more refined and better-looking interior. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the 13.2-inch center touchscreen and massive 24-inch display perched atop the dash. That 24-inch display feeds the driver information such as speed, engine rpm, and the rest of the traditional info gauges, but it also mirrors things like maps from the infotainment touchscreen, helping keep the driver's eyes on the road. It's also user-configurable. As for the rest of the redesign, we're fond of the new split tailgate. The top three-quarter section raises like a traditional tailgate, but the bottom folds like a truck tailgate, and it's strong enough to sit on.
