Specs at a Glance
Drivers searching for a powerful full-size SUV featuring a longer wheelbase should evaluate the 2027 Ford Expedition MAX. Delivering a roomy interior, substantial towing potential, and advanced technology, this vehicle makes a lasting impression. Prospective buyers often evaluate the Active against the high-tier Platinum edition. Below is an overview examining how these configurations measure up.
Performance
Standard motivation for both Expedition MAX trims comes from a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine generating 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. Upgrading to the Platinum trim unlocks an optional high-output variant calibrated by Ford to yield 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, offering greater throttle response when towing heavy equipment. Each powertrain pairing utilizes a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Rear-wheel drive is standard on the Expedition MAX Active, though four-wheel drive remains an option. Conversely, four-wheel drive is standard on the Expedition MAX Platinum. Furthermore, the Platinum trim incorporates an adaptive suspension system that improves overall ride refinement and control.
Appearance
The Expedition MAX Active features a commanding exterior design, highlighted by a carbon-black grille and signature LED headlights. Complementing its stance are 18-inch dark alloy wheels, black roof side rails, and fixed running boards. Exterior color options for this base trim total six shades, including Dark Matter Gray Metallic and Bronze Fire Metallic Tinted Clearcoat.
Stepping up to the Expedition MAX Platinum introduces several styling upgrades. Larger 20-inch alloy wheels give the vehicle an elevated profile, while a refined front fascia highlights its premium design language. A panoramic Vista Roof is fitted standard on the Platinum, whereas it is offered via an optional package on the Active trim.
Features
An array of modern technologies comes equipped on the Active trim. Anchored by a 24-inch panoramic display, the cabin houses a 13.2-inch infotainment screen integrated with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Built-in Google Maps and Google Assistant enhance navigation and voice controls, while the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 driver-assistance package delivers added peace of mind.
The Platinum trim introduces higher levels of interior luxury. Notable standard amenities include leather-appointed seating, climate-controlled front seats, multi-color ambient interior illumination, and a 10-speaker B&O audio system.
