New Ford Expedition for Sale Dade City FL

The Ford Expedition returns for the 2026 model year with all of its big-car swagger. From a new rear splitgate, a large and spacious interior, and best-in-class towing, the Expedition hits all the versatile boxes a full-size SUV is expected to.

Key Takeaways

• Redesigned in 2025, the 2026 Expedition is largely unchanged. 2025 upgrades included: modern exterior, split tailgate, upgraded infotainment, and stronger performance options.
• Trims include: XL, Active, Tremor, King Ranch, and Platinum. 4×2 and 4×4 configurations available.
• Base MSRP for 2026 starts around $57,400 for the XL 4×4, rising into the $80,000+ range for fully loaded Tremor or higher trims.

Has the Ford Expedition Been Redesigned? Is Ford Changing the Expedition in 2026?

Yes. The Expedition received a major redesign for the 2025 model year, introducing:

• A new front‑end styling and lighting, including signature LED lighting elements and an illuminated lighting bar.
• A split tailgate design (upper liftgate + lower tailgate section) for improved access and versatility.
• New tech inside: a panoramic instrument display (24‑inch unit), a 13.2‑inch center touchscreen, upgraded driver assistance & infotainment (including BlueCruise in certain trims).
• Trim lineup updates (for example, the Active trim, Tremor replacing Timberline in many contexts).

For 2026, these changes largely carry forward. There may be minor feature tweaks or color/package options updated, but no full redesign beyond what was introduced in 2025 has been announced.

What Models Are Available for the 2026 Ford Expedition?

The 2026 Expedition lineup includes:

• XL - base configuration, capable and well‑appointed
• Active - adds more comfort, upgraded tech
• Tremor - off-road capable version, with higher output and rugged features
• King Ranch - premium interior touches and luxury features
• Platinum - top-tier luxury, features, finishing

The extended “Expedition Max” version offers greater storage space.

Drivetrain options: RWD (or 4×2) for some trims, four‑wheel drive for others, with the 3.5‑liter EcoBoost® V6 engine in standard or high‑output tuning.

How Much Is a 2026 Ford Expedition?

At the cheapest, the Expedition is $63,995 for the XL trim, which comes with a respectable array of tech and finishes. The highest King Ranch trim comes in at $85,650 for a luxe interior that doesn’t sacrifice on any of the Expedition’s impressive capability.

Which Is Bigger, Tahoe or Expedition?

The base Tahoe is slightly longer overall than the base Expedition. However, the Expedition often offers more third‑row legroom, more shoulder room in certain rows, and especially when choosing the Expedition Max version, more usable cargo behind the third row.

Tahoe tends to win in maximum cargo volume when all rear seats are folded. But for towing, power, and some dimensions like height, Expedition holds its own or beats Tahoe in many key specs.

Expedition is overall more versatile, especially for towing and interior comfort.

What Is the Gas Mileage on the 2026 Ford Expedition?

EPA figures for 2026 have not been fully published. But since the 2026 model continues with the 3.5‑L EcoBoost V6 and similar configurations as 2025, the expected gas mileage should remain largely unchanged.

• 17 mpg city / 23 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined for RWD / 2WD versions.
• Slightly lower highway figures if using 4×4 or the high‑output engine.

You can check the EPA's website for updated numbers.
