2026 Ford Expedition Trims Comparison
Which 2026 Expedition trim does Edmunds recommend?
Ford hasn't released official information on the 2026 Expedition as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's Expedition, we think the Platinum is the way to go for the best all-around value. For the money, you get four-wheel drive, the heavy-duty tow package, the BlueCruise hands-free driving assist system, and a ton of features that add comfort and convenience. It's also eligible for the more powerful engine.
2026 Expedition trim level differences
[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's Expedition. We expect the 2026 model will have a similar lineup and we'll update this section once we have complete information.] The Ford Expedition is available in four trim levels: Active, Platinum, Tremor and King Ranch. You also have the choice of the regular-wheelbase Expedition and the long-wheelbase Expedition Max that provides more cargo space. Both wheelbase versions can be optioned to seat seven or eight passengers.
