Short answer

  • The 2027 Ford Expedition keeps the 2026 powertrains — the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 and the 440-hp High Output V6 on Tremor and select Platinum packages.
  • 2027 changes are packaging: 4x2 on more trims, Trailer Tow Prep standard on Active Touring and 4x2 Platinum, a Family Travel Package, a 30th Anniversary package, a laminated windshield and new colors.
  • If a 2026 in stock has the build you want, it can be the better deal; if you want a new 2027 package or color, order.

you want a 4x2 King Ranch or Platinum, the Family Travel Package, the 30th Anniversary look, or Bronze Fire / Blue Ember paint.

How long an order takes: factory order timeline.

A 2025-2026 trade-in is the same generation as the 2027 and often the sweet spot. Older years need more care; see best used years and years to avoid.

Frequently asked questions

Did the engine change for 2027?

No. Both years use the 3.5L EcoBoost V6, with the 440-hp High Output V6 on Tremor and select Platinum packages.

What colors are new for 2027?

Bronze Fire Metallic Tri-coat, Nocturnal Blue Metallic and Blue Ember Metallic. Space Silver and Stone Blue were dropped, and Oxford White is fleet only.

Is a 2026 Expedition a better deal?

Often, if one in stock matches what you want, since incentives on outgoing models can be stronger. We'll price both at invoice side by side.

What does an Expedition cost out the door at Swant Graber Ford?

We sell new Fords at invoice pricing with no mandatory dealer add-ons. Out the door is the agreed price plus Wisconsin sales tax, title and registration, plus our $127.50 documentary fee, which is the only dealer fee.
