2027 Ford Expedition Max: What's in stock, trim-level comparison, FAQ's.

    Updated 2026-09-27
    Quick Answer

    The 2027 Ford Expedition MAX is the long-wheelbase version of Ford's full-size three-row SUV: a 131.5-inch wheelbase instead of 122.5, 221.7 inches of length instead of 209.9, seating for up to 8, and 36.1 cu ft behind the third row versus 21.6 in the standard Expedition. Every MAX uses a twin-turbo 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with 400 hp and 480 lb-ft and a 10-speed automatic; a 440 hp, 510 lb-ft High-Output version is available on Platinum and King Ranch. For 2027 the changes are small: a 30th Anniversary Appearance Package for Platinum, three new colors, 4x2 newly offered on Platinum and King Ranch, and a MAX Active starting price of $69,395 with destination. Bob Swope Ford has 2 Platinums available right now.

    Inside the Ford Expedition Max

    What changed for 2027 (and what didn't)

    Ford redesigned the Expedition for 2025, so 2027 is a light-touch year. The headline is the 30th Anniversary Appearance Package for Platinum and Platinum MAX: 22-inch Ebony bright-machined wheels, a 30 YEARS tailgate badge, darkened trim, and exclusive Blue Ember Metallic paint. Ford also added Bronze Fire Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and Nocturne Blue Metallic, dropped Space Silver and Stone Blue, and moved Oxford White to fleet only. Two changes matter more: 4x2 is now available on Platinum and King Ranch, saving about $3,000 on a Platinum if you do not need four-wheel drive, and a laminated windshield is standard on every trim. Active Touring buyers get a new Family Travel Package that bundles 360-degree zone lighting, a digital device holder with 60W USB ports, the Flex Powered Console, a power panoramic roof, and a PowerFold third row, plus a 90-day BlueCruise trial. Unchanged: the body, the 400 hp and 440 hp EcoBoost tunes, the 10-speed, the 9,000 lb MAX 4x4 tow rating, and the 24-inch display. One note: the EPA's 2027 4x2 figure is 16/23/18 MPG, 1 MPG lower on the highway than 2026's 16/24/19.

    Trim ladder and the value story

    Ford's build-and-price site lists 2027 base MSRPs of $64,095 for Active, $71,545 for Platinum, $82,895 for Tremor, and $83,690 for King Ranch before the $2,300 destination charge. MAX adds $3,000 and skips Tremor, so with destination the ladder runs $69,395 for MAX Active, $76,345 for MAX Platinum, and $88,490 for MAX King Ranch, matching KBB's figures. Four-wheel drive adds about $3,000 on Active and Platinum. The MAX Active is the value pick: it gets the same 400 hp engine, the 24-inch display, an 8-passenger bench layout, Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, and the 27.8-gallon tank, and it is the only MAX under $70,000. MAX Platinum brings leather with heated and ventilated front seats, captain's chairs for 7, BlueCruise, the Flex Powered Console, available Continuously Controlled Damping, and access to the 440 hp High-Output engine, the 30th Anniversary package, and 22-inch wheels. MAX King Ranch is a materials step: Del Rio leather, its own grille and badging, 22-inch Sinister Bronze wheels, standard wireless charging, and a one-year BlueCruise plan, for roughly $12,000 more than MAX Platinum. Tremor's 33-inch tires and Rock Crawl mode require the short body.

    How it stacks up vs Suburban, Yukon XL, Wagoneer L

    The Expedition MAX is the shortest of the four: 221.7 inches against about 226 for the Suburban, 225 for the Yukon XL, and 228 for the Jeep Grand Wagoneer L (the Wagoneer L name was folded into Grand Wagoneer for 2026). Cars.com lists the GM pair at 42 cu ft behind the third row and 145 cu ft maximum, and the Jeep at about 43 and 117, versus 36.1 and 123.1 cu ft for the MAX. Ford wins on standard power: 400 hp and 480 lb-ft beats the 355 hp, 383 lb-ft 5.3L V8 in base Suburbans and Yukon XLs, and the 440 hp High-Output tops GM's 420 hp 6.2L and Jeep's 420 hp Hurricane six. Towing favors Ford over GM, 9,000 lbs for a MAX 4x4 versus 8,200 to 8,400, but the Grand Wagoneer L is rated to 9,860 lbs. Gas fuel economy is a wash at 15 to 16 MPG city; GM's 3.0L Duramax diesel, 21 city and 26 highway in a 2WD Yukon XL, is the class's only efficiency play. On price, the 2027 Suburban starts at $66,995, the Yukon XL at $75,695, and the 2026 Grand Wagoneer L at $70,090, against $69,395 for a MAX Active.

    Pros and Cons

    Pros
    • 36.1 cu ft behind the third row, 14.5 cu ft more than the standard Expedition, with all 8 seats in use.
    • 400 hp and 480 lb-ft are standard, and 440 hp and 510 lb-ft are available on MAX Platinum and MAX King Ranch.
    • A 9,000 lb tow rating on MAX 4x4 comes with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, Class IV receiver, and integrated trailer brake controller as standard equipment.
    • The 24-inch panoramic display, 13.2-inch center touchscreen, and Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 with adaptive cruise and lane centering are standard on the base MAX Active.
    • The 27.8-gallon fuel tank holds 4.2 gallons more than the standard Expedition's 23.6-gallon tank.
    • Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, Pro Trailer Backup Assist 2.0, and a 360-degree camera are listed as standard in Ford's Expedition towing guide.
    • Roadside assistance runs 5 years or 60,000 miles, matching the powertrain warranty, and corrosion perforation is covered for 5 years with unlimited miles.
    Cons
    • Cargo behind the third row trails the Suburban and Yukon XL (about 42 cu ft) and the Grand Wagoneer L (about 43 cu ft) by 6 to 7 cu ft.
    • The MAX 4x4 tows 600 lbs less than a standard Expedition 4x4 (9,000 vs 9,600 lbs) and 860 lbs less than a Grand Wagoneer L.
    • The 4x2's 16/23/18 MPG rating is 1 MPG lower on the highway than in 2026, and well behind a diesel Yukon XL at 21 city and 26 highway.
    • The High-Output engine calls for 91 octane premium and is not offered on MAX Active, so the cheapest 440 hp MAX is a Platinum at $76,345 before the engine option.
    • MAX King Ranch reaches $88,490 with destination before options, about $12,000 over MAX Platinum, and the Tremor is not offered in the MAX body.

    Frequently Asked Questions about the 2027 Ford Expedition Max

    Every 2027 Expedition MAX uses a twin-turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost V6 and a 10-speed SelectShift automatic. The standard tune is 400 hp at 5,200 rpm and 480 lb-ft at 3,300 rpm on regular 87 octane. MAX Platinum and MAX King Ranch can add the High-Output version at 440 hp at 5,400 rpm and 510 lb-ft, which Ford rates on 91 octane premium fuel. The Tremor gets the High-Output engine standard but is not offered in the MAX length.
    Not much, since the current generation launched for 2025. The 2027 additions are a 30th Anniversary Appearance Package on Platinum (22-inch Ebony wheels, 30 YEARS badging, exclusive Blue Ember Metallic paint), three new paint colors, 4x2 availability on Platinum and King Ranch, a standard laminated windshield, and a Family Travel Package with a 90-day BlueCruise trial for Active Touring. Engines, the 10-speed, the 9,000 lb MAX 4x4 tow rating, and the 24-inch display carry over.
    The EPA lists the 2027 Expedition 2WD at 16 MPG city, 23 highway, and 18 combined, and the 4WD at 15 city, 22 highway, and 18 combined; the EPA does not publish a separate MAX entry, and Ford's spec sheet shows both wheelbases share the same powertrain. The 2WD figure is 1 MPG lower on the highway and combined than the 2026 rating of 16/24/19. The MAX's 27.8-gallon tank works out to roughly 500 miles of highway range at 18 MPG combined.
    Up to 9,000 lbs for a MAX 4x4 with the 3.73 rear axle and the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, which Ford's towing guide lists as standard on 4x4 models. A MAX 4x2 with the 3.31 axle is rated at 6,300 lbs. Trailers over 7,000 lbs require a weight-distributing hitch, and the maximum tongue load is 900 lbs. The standard-length Expedition 4x4 is rated higher at 9,600 lbs.
    The MAX rides on a 131.5-inch wheelbase and is 221.7 inches long, against 122.5 and 209.9 inches for the standard Expedition, and the extra length goes to the cargo area. Behind the third row the MAX holds 36.1 cu ft versus 21.6, behind the second row 75.4 versus 60.8, and with both rows folded 123.1 versus 108.5 cu ft. The MAX also gets a 27.8-gallon tank instead of 23.6 gallons, weighs about 130 lbs more, and turns in 43.3 feet instead of 41.0. It costs $3,000 more in any trim.
    Three: MAX Active, MAX Platinum, and MAX King Ranch. Ford's base MSRPs for the standard-length trims are $64,095, $71,545, and $83,690, and the MAX body adds $3,000, so with the $2,300 destination charge the MAX starts at $69,395 for Active, $76,345 for Platinum, and $88,490 for King Ranch. The Tremor ($82,895 base) is standard length only. Four-wheel drive adds about $3,000 on Active and Platinum.
    Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 is standard on the MAX Active with adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane centering, and predictive speed assist, and higher trims get Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0, which adds intersection assist. Pre-Collision Assist with automatic emergency braking, a 360-degree camera, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist 2.0 are also standard. BlueCruise hands-free highway driving is optional on Active, equipped on Platinum, and equipped with a one-year plan on King Ranch.
    Ford's 2027 warranty guide lists 3 years or 36,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage, 5 years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain, 5 years or 60,000 miles on the safety restraint system, and 5 years with unlimited miles for corrosion perforation. Complimentary roadside assistance also runs 5 years or 60,000 miles. Each coverage ends at whichever limit comes first.
