2026 Ford Expedition

The Expedition lineup includes Active, Platinum, King Ranch, and Tremor trims, each offering a distinct exterior design and capability focus. The Active trim delivers a clean, modern SUV appearance with standard LED lighting and practical design elements suited for everyday driving. The Platinum trim adds a more upscale exterior with chrome accents, larger wheel options, and refined styling details that emphasize luxury. King Ranch introduces a more distinctive Western-inspired design theme with unique exterior badging and premium visual touches, while the Tremor trim stands out with a rugged, off-road-focused exterior that includes increased ride height, protective elements, and more aggressive styling designed for trail and outdoor use.

The 2026 Expedition is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine offered in multiple output levels depending on trim. The standard version produces around 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, delivering strong everyday performance for a vehicle of its size. Higher-output configurations increase performance to approximately 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, providing even greater strength for towing and acceleration under load. All engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission designed to manage power smoothly, whether driving in city traffic, cruising on the highway, or towing heavy loads across Ohio roadways.

Performance is one of the Expedition’s biggest strengths, especially for drivers who need real towing capability alongside family-friendly usability. When properly equipped, the Expedition can tow up to approximately 9,600 pounds, making it suitable for large trailers, boats, campers, and heavy recreational equipment commonly used by families and outdoor enthusiasts in the Pataskala area. Available four-wheel drive and terrain management systems improve traction in snow, rain, and off-road conditions, while drive modes help optimize performance based on load and road type. The Expedition also offers a choice between standard and extended-length Expedition MAX configurations for drivers who prioritize additional cargo space.

Inside, the Expedition is designed as a spacious three-row SUV with seating for up to eight passengers depending on configuration. The cabin focuses heavily on comfort and usability, with available features such as a large digital instrument cluster, a wide touchscreen infotainment system, and smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims introduce premium upgrades like leather seating, heated and ventilated seats, ambient lighting, and advanced comfort features designed for long-distance travel. The Expedition MAX model further enhances practicality with significantly increased cargo space, making it ideal for large families or drivers who frequently travel with gear, luggage, or equipment.

The Expedition includes a wide range of standard and available driver assistance technologies designed to improve confidence in everyday driving and towing situations. Features such as pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring with trailer coverage, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control help support safer driving on highways and in traffic. Available 360-degree camera systems and enhanced parking assistance features make it easier to maneuver such a large SUV in tight spaces, which is especially useful in suburban environments like Pataskala and nearby Columbus areas. These systems work together to provide added awareness and control during both daily driving and long-distance travel.
