    Inside the Ford Expedition Max

    Body-on-frame, redesigned for 2025

    The 2025 Expedition is a ground-up redesign, new exterior styling, new dashboard, new tech stack, and updated chassis tuning. It remains body-on-frame (sharing architecture with the F-150), which is the reason it tows what it tows and why the cabin sits as upright as it does. Both the standard wheelbase Expedition and the long-wheelbase Expedition MAX are part of the lineup; MAX adds meaningful third-row legroom and cargo space behind the third row at the cost of a longer turning radius. RWD is standard on lower trims; 4WD is optional or standard depending on trim, and is recommended for central-Kentucky winter weather and any serious tow duty.

    Two engines, one transmission

    The standard 3.5L EcoBoost V6 powers most of the lineup, paired with a 10-speed automatic. A High-Output version of the 3.5L EcoBoost adds power on top trims (verify exact horsepower figures on a specific build sheet, since 2025 redesign output figures should be confirmed against ford.com). Either engine is more than sufficient for daily duty; the High-Output makes the most sense if you regularly tow near the maximum or want quicker passing power with all three rows occupied. Tow rating reaches roughly 9,600 lb properly equipped, enough for boats, small to mid-size travel trailers, and utility loads.

    Trim strategy and the 2025 cabin overhaul

    Active is the value entry. ST-Line and ST-Line variants add sport-styled trim, leather, and additional tech. Platinum sits at the luxury end with premium leather, the 24-inch panoramic display, B&O Unleashed audio, and ventilated/massaging front seats on top configurations. King Ranch brings the signature Mesa-themed leather and unique exterior accents. Tremor is the off-road-capable trim, High-Output V6, 33-inch all-terrain tires, off-road-tuned suspension, electronic locking rear differential, raised ride height, and exposed front tow hooks. BlueCruise hands-free highway driving is available across most of the lineup; Co-Pilot360 driver-assist features are standard.

    Frequently Asked Questions about the 2026 Ford Expedition Max

    The 2025 model year is a full redesign, new exterior styling, an entirely new interior with a 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen and an available 24-inch panoramic display, updated chassis tuning, refreshed trim lineup, and broader BlueCruise availability.
    Expedition MAX uses a longer wheelbase, which adds significant third-row legroom and cargo space behind the third row. The standard-wheelbase Expedition is shorter, easier to maneuver, and easier to park. Both share the same powertrains, trims, and tech.
    A 3.5L EcoBoost V6 in standard tune on most trims, and a High-Output version of the 3.5L EcoBoost on top performance/luxury trims (Tremor and the upper Platinum/King Ranch tier). Both pair with a 10-speed automatic. Confirm the exact horsepower for a specific build on the window sticker or on ford.com.
    Up to approximately 9,600 lb when properly equipped with the trailer tow package and the right axle ratio. Always confirm the exact rating on the door-jamb sticker of the specific vehicle.
    It uses a 4WD system rather than AWD. RWD is standard on lower trims; 4WD is optional or standard depending on trim. Tremor and most top-trim configurations are 4WD-standard.
    Up to 8 with a second-row bench, or up to 7 with a second-row captain's-chair option. Three rows on every Expedition; the MAX adds significant third-row legroom.
    Ford's hands-free highway driving system. It uses cameras, radar, and a driver-monitoring camera to allow eyes-on, hands-off driving on more than 130,000 miles of pre-mapped North American divided highways. It's available on most 2025+ Expedition trims.
    A 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen is standard, with an available 24-inch panoramic display on higher trims and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
    Yes. Tremor adds the High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 33-inch all-terrain tires, off-road-tuned suspension, electronic locking rear differential, raised ride height, exposed front tow hooks, and skid plates, making it one of the few genuinely off-road-capable full-size SUVs on the market.
    Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beams, and a rearview camera. Higher trims add adaptive cruise with stop-and-go and BlueCruise hands-free driving.
