The 2027 Ford Expedition is on sale now. It keeps the same design and 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that arrived with the redesign for 2025. The big 2027 news is a 30th Anniversary Appearance Package for the Platinum, three new paint colors, rear-wheel drive on more trims, a returning wireless charger, and a standard laminated windshield. Ford’s Build and Price tool lists starting prices from $64,415 for the Active up to $84,010 for the King Ranch, before a $2,795 destination charge.
This guide covers everything that changed, every trim and price, the special editions, colors, towing, fuel economy, and how the Expedition compares with the Chevy Tahoe. Facts come from Ford’s official 2027 Expedition website, Ford’s Build and Price tool, and order-guide details reported by Ford dealers and auto news sites. We point out anything that is not confirmed.

What’s New for the 2027 Ford Expedition?
The 2027 Expedition is not a redesign. The current generation arrived for the 2025 model year with a new look, a new cabin with a 24-inch display, and the off-road Tremor trim. For 2027, Ford made smaller but useful updates.
30th Anniversary Appearance Package
The Expedition first went on sale in 1996 as a 1997 model. To mark 30 years and more than 3 million sales, Ford created a 30th Anniversary Appearance Package for the Platinum and Platinum MAX. It adds $7,975 to the price and is purely cosmetic. There are no engine or suspension changes. Details are further down in this guide.
Three New Paint Colors
Ford added Bronze Fire Metallic, Nocturnal Blue Metallic, and Blue Ember Metallic. Blue Ember is the same eye-catching blue first seen on the Mustang Dark Horse, and it is only offered with the 30th Anniversary package. Space Silver and Stone Blue were dropped, and Oxford White is now for fleet buyers only.
Rear-Wheel Drive on More Trims
For 2027, rear-wheel drive (4×2) returns on the Platinum and King Ranch, along with models that have the Stealth Appearance package. The Active continues with a choice of 4×2 or 4×4. The Tremor stays 4×4-only. Choosing 4×2 lowers the price, which is why the King Ranch now starts lower than many buyers expect.
Why does this matter? Many families in warm states never drive in snow or on trails. Rear-wheel drive saves money up front and adds a little less weight. If you live where winters are rough, or you tow a boat up a slippery ramp, 4×4 is still the safer pick.
Wireless Charging Returns
Ford dropped the wireless phone charger for a short time. For 2027, it comes back as a faster Qi2 magnetic pad, according to a detailed video review. It is standard on the King Ranch and comes with the Driver’s Package on the Tremor and Platinum. On most other models it is optional.
Quieter Cabin and Security Upgrades
- Laminated windshield: Now standard on every Expedition. Laminated glass helps block wind and road noise.
- Ford Security Package: Theft alerts and related features are included for one year. Buyers can then pay monthly or choose a one-time, seven-year plan.
- Driver’s Package: Standard on the King Ranch and available on the Platinum and Tremor.
Lighting and Trim Changes
A review of a 2027 King Ranch points out that the full-width lower front light bar and the rear LED accent strip now appear only on the King Ranch and the Platinum Ultimate package. The Platinum gets a black grille and black roof rails in its Elite equipment group. These are small styling shifts, but they are worth knowing if you liked a 2026 model’s look.
New Family Travel Package
Active buyers can add a Family Travel Package. Dealers report it includes 360-degree zone lighting, a powered panoramic roof with a power shade, a power-folding third row that splits 40/20/40, a powered center console, front 60-watt USB ports, a device holder, and remote start. For a family that lives in its SUV, this is a big step up from the base Active.
2027 Ford Expedition Release Date
The 2027 Expedition is already at dealers. According to fleet build-out data from Merchants Fleet, order banks opened on March 27, 2026, and production began on June 8, 2026. Dealers across the U.S. now list 2027 models in stock, and published reviews show 2027 window stickers.
When can I buy a 2027 Ford Expedition? Right now. You can buy one from dealer stock or place a factory order for the exact trim, color, and packages you want. Factory orders usually take longer than buying from stock, so ask your dealer for a build week before you sign.
2027 Ford Expedition Price and Trims
Ford’s Build and Price tool showed these starting prices on October 11, 2026. Ford adds a $2,795 destination charge, plus taxes and dealer fees.
| Trim | Ford.com starting price | With $2,795 destination |
|---|---|---|
| Active | $64,415 | $67,210 |
| Platinum | $71,865 | $74,660 |
| Tremor | $83,215 | $86,010 |
| King Ranch | $84,010 | $86,805 |
Dealer order-guide base prices are slightly lower than Ford’s “starting at” figures. For example, dealer configurators list the Active 4×2 at $63,920 and the Tremor at $82,720. The gap of about $495 to $995 likely reflects the default paint on Ford’s website. Either way, use the window sticker as the final word.
Price by Body Length and Drive Type
Dealer order-guide pricing shows how body length and drive type change the cost:
| Version | Base price (dealer order guide) |
|---|---|
| Active 4×2 | $63,920 |
| Active 4×4 / Active MAX 4×2 | $66,920 |
| Active MAX 4×4 | $69,920 |
| Platinum 4×2 | $70,870 |
| Platinum 4×4 / Platinum MAX 4×2 | $73,870 |
| Platinum MAX 4×4 | $76,870 |
| Tremor 4×4 | $82,720 |
| King Ranch 4×2 | $83,015 |
| King Ranch MAX 4×2 | $86,015 |
| King Ranch 4×4 | $86,990 |
| King Ranch MAX 4×4 | $89,990 |
In simple terms, the MAX body adds about $3,000. Four-wheel drive adds about $3,000 on the Active and Platinum, and about $3,975 on the King Ranch.
How Much Is a 2027 Expedition MAX?
The Expedition MAX starts at about $66,920 for an Active MAX 4×2, before destination. A Platinum MAX 4×4 is about $76,870, and a King Ranch MAX 4×4 is about $89,990.
How Much Is a Fully Loaded 2027 Expedition?
Ford Authority built the most expensive 2027 Expedition and reached more than $100,000. Their King Ranch build included four-wheel drive, Star White Tri-Coat paint, a $7,550 black roof option, rear-seat entertainment, destination, and fees. Most buyers will land between $70,000 and $90,000.
2027 Ford Expedition Trims Explained
Retail buyers can choose from four trims. A basic XL version exists, but it is for fleet buyers like police and government agencies. The old XLT and Limited trims ended with the 2024 model year.
Active: The Value Choice
The Active is the starting point. It has the 400-hp V6, 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, cloth seats, and a second-row bench for eight passengers. It still gets the 24-inch panoramic display, 13.2-inch touchscreen, three-zone automatic climate control, and a 360-degree camera. Heated and ventilated seats are not standard on the Active, so check the package list if you want them.
Platinum: The Luxury Sweet Spot
The Platinum adds leather-trimmed seats with heating and cooling up front, heated second-row captain’s chairs, a 10-speaker Bang and Olufsen sound system, and 20-inch wheels. It is also the trim behind most special packages, including Stealth Appearance, Stealth Performance, Platinum Ultimate, and the 30th Anniversary package.
Tremor: The Off-Road Expedition
The Tremor is built for dirt roads and trails. It comes standard with the 440-hp High-Output V6, four-wheel drive, a 3.73 electronic locking rear differential, and Rock Crawl mode. Ford lists 10.6 inches of ground clearance and 33-inch all-terrain tires. That is almost two inches more clearance than other Expeditions. The Tremor only comes in the standard length, not MAX.
King Ranch: Western-Style Luxury
The King Ranch is the top trim. It has brown Del Rio leather throughout, 22-inch Sinister Bronze wheels, bronze exterior trim, power running boards, and a 22-speaker Bang and Olufsen Unleashed sound system. The Driver’s Package is standard. King Ranch models seat seven with second-row captain’s chairs only.
Key Features by Trim
| Trim | Engine | Wheels | Standout features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active | 400 hp | 18-in, all-terrain tires | Cloth seats, 8 seats, 24-in display, 360-degree camera |
| Platinum | 400 hp (440 hp available) | 20-in | Leather, heated/cooled front seats, B&O 10-speaker audio |
| Tremor | 440 hp standard | 18-in, 33-in all-terrain tires | 4×4, locking rear diff, 10.6-in clearance, Rock Crawl mode |
| King Ranch | 400 hp | 22-in bronze | Del Rio leather, 22-speaker B&O Unleashed, Driver’s Package |
Platinum vs King Ranch: Which Is Better?
Both are luxury trims, but they feel different. The Platinum costs less, offers eight seats, and can be dressed up with Stealth, Ultimate, or 30th Anniversary packages. It is the better pick if you want flexibility or the 440-hp engine. The King Ranch has a warmer, Western-style cabin, the bigger sound system, and more features as standard. Pick it if you want the most comfort with fewer option boxes to tick.
Platinum vs Tremor: What’s the Difference?
The Platinum is a road-focused luxury SUV with bigger wheels and a smoother ride. The Tremor gives up some luxury for off-road hardware: the High-Output engine, a locking rear differential, skid plates, all-terrain tires, and extra ground clearance. If you never leave pavement, the Platinum is more comfortable. If you camp off-road, the Tremor is the one to get.
Is the Expedition Tremor Worth It?
It is worth it if you will use it. The Tremor starts around $83,215, roughly $11,000 more than a Platinum. You get the 440-hp engine and real trail gear. For snowy roads and gravel driveways, a 4×4 Active or Platinum is usually enough and costs much less.
Platinum or Limited: Which Is Better?
The Limited trim no longer exists. It was dropped when the current generation arrived for 2025. If you are comparing a used Limited with a new Platinum, the Platinum has the newer design, 24-inch display, and more standard technology.
2027 Ford Expedition 30th Anniversary Edition
The 30th Anniversary Appearance Package is the most talked-about part of the 2027 lineup. It is offered only on the Platinum and Platinum MAX, and Ford Authority reports it costs $7,975.
What you get:
- 22-inch Ebony wheels with special 30th Anniversary center caps
- “30 YEARS” badge on the tailgate
- Ebony grille, black headlamp bezels, black roof rails, and a Carbon Black front bumper
- Salt Crystal Gray interior, a lighter cabin than the Stealth models
- Embossed anniversary center console, unique scuff plates, floor liners, and a cargo organizer
- Laminated rear side windows for a quieter cabin
Colors: Only three paints are offered: Agate Black, Star White Tri-Coat, and the new Blue Ember Metallic. Blue Ember is only available with this package.
What is the price of the 2027 Expedition 30th Anniversary model? Add $7,975 to the Platinum’s price. A 30th Anniversary Platinum 4×4 works out to roughly $82,000 before destination, based on dealer order-guide prices. The package cannot be combined with the Stealth or Platinum Ultimate packages.
Other Platinum Packages: Stealth and Ultimate
| Package | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Stealth Appearance | 22-inch Magnetite wheels, black badges, black perforated leather seats, black roof rails, laminated rear side glass |
| Stealth Performance | Stealth look plus the 440-hp High-Output V6, Driver’s Package, high-flow exhaust, engine sound enhancer, 24-inch Ebony wheels, and the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package |
| Platinum Ultimate | Premium multi-contour leather seats with massage, 24-inch wheels, lit grille bar, 440-hp engine, standard 4×4, adaptive dampers, and Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package |
| 30th Anniversary | Special wheels, badges, black trim, Salt Crystal Gray interior, Blue Ember paint option |
For reference, the 2026 Stealth Appearance package cost $3,575. Ford has not publicly confirmed every 2027 package price, so ask your dealer for a current quote.
2027 Ford Expedition Engine and Performance
Every 2027 Expedition uses a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 and a 10-speed automatic transmission. There are two tunes:
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Where you get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5L EcoBoost V6 | 400 hp | 480 lb-ft | Active, Platinum, King Ranch |
| 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost V6 | 440 hp | 510 lb-ft | Tremor, Platinum Ultimate, Stealth Performance |
Horsepower vs torque, simply put: Horsepower is about top-end speed and how quickly you keep accelerating. Torque is the pulling power you feel from a stop or when towing. With 480 to 510 lb-ft, the Expedition pulls strongly even with a full load.
There is no V8 and no hybrid. Reviewers say the V6 feels quick and smooth. One review measured about 4.9 seconds from 0 to 60 mph for a 440-hp model. Ford does not publish official 0-to-60 times.
2027 Ford Expedition Fuel Economy (MPG)
| Drive | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4×2 (rear-wheel drive) | 16 | 23 to 24 | About 19 |
| 4×4 | 15 | 22 | 18 |
| Tremor (High-Output) | Not yet officially rated | ||
Ford’s website lists 16/23 mpg for 4×2 models, while dealer and news reports cite 16/24/19 from the EPA. The difference is small. Plan on about 18 mpg in mixed driving.
What that costs: At 15,000 miles a year and $3.25 per gallon, 18 mpg means about 833 gallons, or roughly $2,700 a year in fuel. Your cost depends on your gas prices and driving.
Towing Capacity
| Version | Max towing (properly equipped) |
|---|---|
| Expedition 4×4 with Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow | 9,600 lbs |
| Expedition Tremor with Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow | 9,300 lbs |
| Expedition MAX 4×4 with Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow | 9,000 lbs |
| Expedition 4×2 | 6,000 lbs |
| Expedition MAX 4×2 | 6,300 lbs |
Source: Ford’s 2027 Expedition website.
That is important if you choose the new 4×2 versions. Rear-wheel-drive models top out at 6,000 to 6,300 pounds. If you tow a large camper, choose 4×4 with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package.
Can a Ford Expedition Tow 10,000 Pounds?
No. The highest rating is 9,600 pounds. For 10,000 pounds or more, look at a pickup like the 2027 Ford F-150. Ford rates the current F-150 at up to 13,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Which Expedition Model Is Best for Towing?
A standard-length Expedition 4×4 with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package is best, at 9,600 pounds. The package is optional on the Active and Platinum, and standard with the Stealth Performance and Platinum Ultimate packages.
Do All Ford Expeditions Come With a Tow Hitch?
Dealers report a Trailer Tow Prep Package is standard on some models, such as the Active Touring group and the 4×2 Platinum. Equipment varies by trim and package, so check the window sticker for a hitch receiver and trailer brake controller.
F-150 or Expedition for Towing?
The F-150 tows more, up to 13,500 pounds, and has an open bed for gear. The Expedition tows up to 9,600 pounds but carries up to eight people in comfort. If your family and your trailer travel together, the Expedition is the more practical choice. If the trailer is very heavy, the F-150 wins.
Want a closer look? This detailed video review walks around and drives a 2027 Expedition King Ranch and covers the new 2027 changes:
Interior, Technology, and Cargo Space
The cabin carries over from 2026. Every Expedition has a 24-inch panoramic display above the steering wheel and a 13.2-inch center touchscreen. The Ford Digital Experience system has Google built in, so Google Maps and Google Assistant run natively. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
Family-friendly details stand out:
- Split Gate: The rear gate can open just the top half, which keeps groceries from rolling out. The lower section can act as a bench or table for tailgating.
- Tilting second row: One review notes the second-row seat tilts forward for third-row access without removing a child seat.
- Roomy third row: Reviewers measured adult-friendly legroom and headroom, plus power recline buttons on higher trims.
- Charging everywhere: USB-C ports in all three rows and household-style outlets on many models.
Cargo Space
| Area | Expedition | Expedition MAX |
|---|---|---|
| Behind third row | 22.9 cu ft | 37.4 cu ft |
| Behind second row | 69.9 cu ft | 84.5 cu ft |
| Behind first row | 108.5 cu ft | 123.1 cu ft |
Is the Expedition MAX Bigger Than the Expedition?
Yes. The MAX is about 12 inches longer: 221.7 inches versus 209.9 inches. Most of that extra length goes to cargo space behind the third row, which grows from 22.9 to 37.4 cubic feet. That is the difference between fitting a stroller and fitting a stroller plus luggage for a family road trip.
2027 Ford Expedition Dimensions
| Measurement | Expedition | Expedition MAX |
|---|---|---|
| Overall length | 209.9 in | 221.7 in |
| Wheelbase | 122.5 in | 131.5 in |
| Ground clearance | 8.7 in (Tremor: 10.6 in) | 8.7 to 8.8 in |
| Seating | 7 or 8 | 7 or 8 |
Length and ground clearance from Ford’s 2027 Expedition website. Wheelbase as reported by Ford Authority.
Will it fit in your garage? A standard Expedition is about 17.5 feet long, and a MAX is about 18.5 feet. Many older home garages are about 20 feet deep, which leaves little walking room with a MAX. Measure your garage, including the space in front of the bumper, before you buy.
Safety and Driver-Assist Features
Every Expedition includes Ford Co-Pilot360 driver aids, including automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping help, and a 360-degree camera. Ford BlueCruise hands-free highway driving is available, with a trial included on many retail models. After the trial, it is a paid subscription.
Crash test ratings: For the 2026 Expedition, NHTSA ratings shown by Kelley Blue Book include 5 stars for frontal crash and side crash, and 3 stars for rollover resistance. A 3-star rollover rating is common for tall SUVs. NHTSA had not posted separate 2027 ratings when this article was written. Check NHTSA.gov for updates.
2027 Ford Expedition Colors
| Color | Status | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agate Black Metallic | Returning | No charge | All trims |
| Bronze Fire Metallic | New | $495 | Not with 30th Anniversary |
| Nocturnal Blue Metallic | New | $495 | Not on King Ranch or 30th Anniversary |
| Dark Matter Gray Metallic | Returning | $495 | Not with 30th Anniversary |
| Marsh Gray | Returning | $495 | Tremor and Platinum only |
| Star White Metallic Tri-Coat | Returning | $995 | All trims |
| Glacier Gray Metallic Tri-Coat | Returning | $995 | Not with 30th Anniversary |
| Blue Ember Metallic | New | Package only | 30th Anniversary only |
Colors and costs as reported by Ford Authority from Ford’s order guide.
Dropped for 2027: Space Silver Metallic and Stone Blue Metallic. Oxford White is now fleet-only.
King Ranch colors: Agate Black, Bronze Fire, Dark Matter Gray, Star White, and Glacier Gray. Nocturnal Blue is not offered on the King Ranch. Tremor colors: Agate Black, Bronze Fire, Nocturnal Blue, Dark Matter Gray, Marsh Gray, Star White, and Glacier Gray. Platinum colors: All retail colors, though the 30th Anniversary package limits you to three.
One design note: the center section of the tailgate is gloss black on every Expedition, whatever the paint. Some buyers love it, others do not, so see the color in person. A black roof is also available for about $7,550.
2026 vs 2027 Ford Expedition
| Feature | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Design and engine | Current generation | Same |
| 4×2 on Platinum and King Ranch | No | Yes |
| 30th Anniversary package | No | Yes, $7,975 |
| New colors | – | Bronze Fire, Nocturnal Blue, Blue Ember |
| Dropped colors | – | Space Silver, Stone Blue |
| Wireless charging | Removed | Back, upgraded to Qi2 |
| Laminated windshield | Not on all models | Standard on all |
| Family Travel Package (Active) | No | Yes |
Should you buy a 2026 or 2027? If a dealer offers a strong discount on a leftover 2026, it is a smart buy because the two model years are mechanically the same. Choose the 2027 if you want the new colors, the anniversary package, wireless charging, or a lower-priced 4×2 Platinum or King Ranch. You can also read our earlier guide to the redesigned Ford Expedition for background on this generation.
2027 Ford Expedition vs Chevy Tahoe
| Spec | 2027 Ford Expedition | 2026 Chevy Tahoe |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $67,210 (with destination) | $63,495 (with destination) |
| Engines | 3.5L twin-turbo V6, 400 or 440 hp | 5.3L V8 (355 hp), 6.2L V8 (420 hp), 3.0L diesel (305 hp) |
| Max towing | 9,600 lbs | 8,400 lbs |
| Cargo behind third row | 22.9 cu ft | 25.5 cu ft |
| Combined mpg | About 18 | 17 (V8), up to 24 (diesel) |
Tahoe figures from J.D. Power and GM Authority.
Should I Buy a Tahoe or an Expedition?
Choose the Expedition if you want more towing, strong turbo power, the Split Gate, and clever family features. Choose the Tahoe if you want a V8 or diesel engine, a slightly lower starting price, a bit more cargo room behind the third row, or available air suspension. Both are excellent family haulers, so drive both.
Is the Expedition Bigger Than a Tahoe?
They are close in size. The standard Expedition is 209.9 inches long, and the Tahoe is a similar length. The Tahoe has a little more space behind the third row, while the Expedition MAX competes with the longer Chevy Suburban.
Which Is Safer, Tahoe or Expedition?
There is no simple winner. Both offer automatic emergency braking and other modern driver aids. Compare the latest NHTSA and IIHS results for the exact model years you are considering.
Other Rivals to Consider
- GMC Yukon: The Tahoe’s more upscale twin. See our 2027 GMC Yukon guide.
- Toyota Sequoia: A hybrid-only full-size SUV. Read about the 2026 Toyota Sequoia.
- Ford Explorer: Smaller and cheaper, if you don’t need full-size space. See the 2027 Ford Explorer.
- Lincoln Navigator: The luxury version of the Expedition, built on the same platform with a more upscale cabin and a higher price.
Ownership Costs and Warranty
A full-size SUV costs more to run than a sticker price shows. Plan for fuel, tires, insurance, and subscriptions.
- Fuel: Roughly $2,700 a year at 15,000 miles and $3.25 per gallon.
- Tires: 22-inch and 24-inch wheels look great, but replacement tires cost more than 18-inch tires.
- Subscriptions: BlueCruise, Connectivity, and Security plans cost extra after their trials.
- Insurance: Rates depend on your age, record, ZIP code, coverage, and trim. Before you shop, you can estimate your car insurance costs with our free calculator. It asks for no personal details and gives a rough budget number, not a quote.
| Warranty coverage | Length |
|---|---|
| Bumper-to-bumper | 3 years or 36,000 miles |
| Powertrain | 5 years or 60,000 miles |
| Corrosion (perforation) | 5 years, unlimited miles |
Ford’s standard New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Ford does not include free scheduled maintenance.
Which 2027 Expedition Is Right for You?
- Big family on a budget: Active 4×2 with the Family Travel Package.
- Snow-belt family: Active or Platinum 4×4.
- Camper or boat towing: Any 4×4 with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package.
- Trail explorer: Tremor.
- Luxury with style: Platinum with the Stealth or 30th Anniversary package.
- Most comfort, fewest choices: King Ranch.
- Lots of luggage: Any MAX model.
How to Order a 2027 Ford Expedition, Step by Step
- Pick your body length. Choose the standard Expedition for easier parking or the MAX for more cargo space.
- Pick 4×2 or 4×4. Choose 4×4 for snow, trails, or towing more than about 6,000 pounds.
- Choose a trim and packages. Use Ford’s Build and Price tool to see live pricing for your build.
- Get written quotes. Send the same build to two or three dealers and compare the out-the-door price, including fees.
- Buy from stock or place an order. Stock is faster. A factory order gets you the exact color and options but takes longer.
- Add long-term plans at order time. Ask about one-time Connectivity, Security, and BlueCruise plans, which may cost less than monthly payments over time.
- Inspect at delivery. Check the paint, packages, and window sticker against your order before you sign.
Before You Buy: A Quick Checklist
- Does your trailer weigh more than 6,000 pounds? If yes, skip 4×2.
- Do you need eight seats? Avoid the King Ranch, which seats seven.
- Do you carry lots of luggage with all seats in use? Consider the MAX.
- Do you want the 440-hp engine? Look at the Tremor, Platinum Ultimate, or Stealth Performance.
- Are you happy with the gloss-black tailgate panel? See your color choice in person.
- Have you checked insurance costs? Big, expensive SUVs can cost more to insure.
Common Complaints and Things to Check
No vehicle is perfect. Reviewers and owners commonly mention these points about the current Expedition:
- Price: Well-equipped models easily pass $80,000.
- Fuel economy: About 18 mpg combined, which is normal for the class but still costly.
- No air suspension: The Tahoe and Yukon offer it. The Expedition offers adaptive dampers on some packages instead.
- Gloss-black tailgate panel: It appears on every color, which not everyone likes.
- Subscriptions: Some tech features need paid plans after the trial ends.
Before buying any Expedition, check for open recalls with the VIN at NHTSA.gov, and ask the dealer to show that all recall work is complete.
