2026 vs. 2027 Expedition
For 2027, Ford adds a 30th Anniversary Appearance Package on Platinum (with Blue Ember Metallic paint), two new colors (Bronze Fire and Nocturnal Blue), and 4x2 availability on Platinum and King Ranch.
EPA rates the 2026 4x2 at 16/24/19 and the 2027 4x2 at 16/23/18; 4x4 is 15/22/18 for both years.
Used Expedition: what to check
Ford redesigned the Expedition for 2025 with the 24-inch panoramic display and Split Gate, so a 2025-or-newer Expedition has the current interior; on any used one, confirm 4x4 and the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package if you tow near 9,000 lbs.

Certified used Expedition: how CPO changes the decision
Swant Graber Ford is a Ford Blue Advantage dealer: a Gold Certified Expedition (up to 6 years old, under 80,000 miles) adds a 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty and a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.
- Gold Certified: Ford models up to 6 years old and under 80,000 miles, 172-point inspection, 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty, 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.
- Blue Certified: vehicles up to 10 years old and under 150,000 miles, 139-point inspection, 90-day/4,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty.
- Swant Graber Ford participates in Ford Blue Advantage's 14-day/1,000-mile Money Back Guarantee; Ford's conditions apply.
- Non-certified used vehicles at Swant Graber include 45 days / 5,000 miles powertrain, on used units 10 model years or newer with under 150,000 miles. See dealer for details.
How it changes the decision: Gold Certified's 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage is longer than the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty on a new Ford, so a 2–4-year-old Gold unit can be the value play if you don't need the newest changes.
