2027 Ford Expedition Changes at a Glance

  • 2027 is not a redesign year for the Ford Expedition. Instead the model was improved in small but impactful ways.
  • Major changes include more availability for options like the Trailer Tow Prep Package, the 4x2 drivetrain, and the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow add-on.
  • The exterior design package has also been upgraded, with a standard laminated windshield, new roof rails, tailgate applique, grille, and three brand-new paint colors.
  • Enjoy the Ford Security package, a seven-year-guaranteed protection service available for all trims.
  • The 30th Anniversary appearance package celebrates three decades of full-size excellence with unique badging and coloration options.
  • Other minor improvements ensure that the 2027 Ford Expedition at Covert Ford is the most up-to-date Ford three-row SUV.

What's New With the 2027 Ford Expedition?

As the full-size, flagship model of the Ford lineup, the 2027 Ford Expedition continues the fifth generation with the inclusion of a brand-new package: the 30th Anniversary Edition. That's right, the SUV is celebrating its third decade of high-end value with a unique configuration that boasts exclusive badging. In addition, the lineup has more options than ever, with easier 4x2 access, more benefits for choosing an Active Touring model, and better towing equipment across the lineup.

We at Covert Ford in Austin, TX, are excited to present the next upgrade for the full-size SUV. Let's take a look at what exactly you'll get when you purchase your next family-friendly vehicle.

2027 Ford Expedition Interior Design: What's Changed?

The interior of the 2027 Ford Expedition is perhaps the least changed element, outside of the new 30th Anniversary option package. You still have your choice of cloth seating, leather-trimmed upholstery, or Del Rio leather seats on the King Ranch. In the Platinum edition, the Expedition has heating and ventilation in the first row and heated second-row captain's chairs. The sole difference from last year is with the Touring Active, which now has vinyl third-row seating with auto-retracting head restraints, which can improve comfort in the back row.

You have several colors to customize your cabin to your preference, none of which has changed from 2026:

  • Ultra Dark Space Gray
  • Black Onyx
  • Salt Crystal Gray
  • Mesa (Tremor-exclusive)

What Is the 2027 Ford Expedition 30th Anniversary Package?

Exclusive for the new Ford Expedition, the 30th Anniversary Package is an add-on for those ordering a Platinum series model. This is an appearance and style upgrade which includes a variety of new options, including:

  • Wheels: 22-inch Ebony bright machined-painted aluminum wheel
  • Beltline Molding: Black
  • Badges: "30th ANNIVERSARY" and "EXPEDITION" on liftgate

This exclusive interior package does lock your exterior colors to Agate Black, Star White, or Blue Ember, and your interior is always Salt Crystal Gray.

Ford Expedition New Features: 2027 Overview

The Ford Expedition doesn't come with any brand-new features. Instead, previous safety, comfort, and convenience options are more universally available to Expedition families. For example, owners of the Active Touring model can now equip a Trailer Tow Prep Package as standard or invest in the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow for easy access to towing equipment. The Family Travel Package, including amenities like a power panoramic vista roof, digital device holder, and 360-degree zone lighting, can enhance road trips with ease.

If you're interested in advanced driver assistance features, Ford BlueCruise can also be equipped to Active Touring models, in addition to other trim levels. This hands-free driving assistance software guides you throughout streets in Austin, TX, and can serve as a guide on highways.

Plus, you still keep the variety of high-end features that make every ride in a Ford Expedition fun for the whole family. That includes a 24-inch central touchscreen, Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist 2.0 across all trim levels, early leather-trimmed upholstery options, and an available 22-speaker B&O® sound system by Bang & Olufsen®.

You can also add a variety of packages, depending on your chosen trim. Ask our team for information about whether you can build a model with:

  • Ford Security Package
  • SecuriCode
  • BlueCruise
  • Family Travel Package
  • Driver's Package

Charles "Chucky" Crittenden was the best Ford sales consultant I've ever worked with. His product knowledge is exceptional, and he answered every question I had before I even had to ask. He made the entire buying process smooth, straightforward, and enjoyable. If you're in the market for a new or used vehicle, I highly recommend seeing Chucky for your car-buying needs. You won't be disappointed.
