2026 Ford Expedition vs 2025 Ford Expedition

• After a full redesign for 2025, the 2026 Expedition only sees minor updates.
• These full-size SUVs deliver the same rugged performance, offering your choice of two twin-turbo engines and trail-friendly four-wheel drive.
• Of their eight exterior paint colors, these Expedition model years have seven in common!
• The 2026 Expedition (from $62,700*) manages to start at nearly the same price as last year's SUV (from $62,500*)!

So, what exactly are the differences between 2025 and 2026 Expedition models? After a major makeover just last year, Ford hasn't made any big changes to the new SUV. The 2026 Expedition does introduce a new paint color, Marsh Gray. And some features have been shuffled around the lineup. Otherwise, though, this innovative family hauler is a lot like the one Ford introduced in 2025, kicking off the fifth-generation Expedition lineup!

Fifth-Generation Expedition Highlights

• New trim model lineup: the base XL, mid-level Active, trail-ready Tremor, posh Platinum, and ruggedly upscale King Ranch
• BlueCruise semi-autonomous driving hardware comes standard on Tremor, Platinum, and King Ranch models; it's optional for the Active (subscription required)
• New Ford Digital Experience infotainment system is standard equipment
• One-year subscription to the Ford Connectivity Package is standard, giving you unlimited Wi-Fi data on the go
• All-new Ford Split Gate is part liftgate, part fold-out tailgate

When it comes to power and performance, nothing has changed between the 2025 and 2026 Expeditions. With two high-powered twin-turbo V6 engines available, you'll always have plenty of strength at your command. Properly equipped, either Expedition can tow a boat or camper weighing up to 9,600 pounds!

And while four-wheel drive is optional for the base XL and mid-level Active trims, it's standard for the rest. This trail-ready gear helps make these Expeditions equally capable of exploring everything from the swamps to the springs!

Powertrain Options

• Standard twin-turbo 3.5L V6 (400 horsepower, 510 pound-feet of torque)
• Standard on Tremor, optional for Platinum: high-output twin-turbo 3.5L V6 (440 hp, 510 lb-ft)
• 10-speed automatic transmission
• RWD or optional 4WD
