Specs at a Glance
The 2027 Ford Expedition MAX represents an ideal option for drivers seeking an extended-wheelbase full-size SUV. Designed with a massive interior, serious towing potential, and intuitive technology, it stands out in its class. When purchasing, customers frequently compare the entry Active trim to the luxurious Platinum trim. Here is a breakdown highlighting the distinctions between the two models.
Performance
A 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine comes standard on both configurations, delivering 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. Exclusively on the Platinum trim, Ford offers a high-output tuned version of this engine, elevating output to 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque for extra muscle when pulling heavy trailers. Both powerplants partner with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Rear-wheel drive is standard on the Expedition MAX Active, with four-wheel drive available as an upgrade. In contrast, the Expedition MAX Platinum comes standard with four-wheel drive. The Platinum trim also gains an adaptive suspension system, providing a smoother ride and enhanced cornering confidence.
Appearance
The exterior design of the Expedition MAX Active emphasizes athletic styling. Key elements include a carbon black front grille, signature LED lighting, and 18-inch dark alloy wheels. Fixed running boards and black roof side rails complete the rugged look. The Active is offered in six distinct paint colors, including Bronze Fire Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and Dark Matter Gray Metallic.
The Expedition MAX Platinum adopts an elevated exterior aesthetic. Standard 20-inch wheels give it an assertive profile, paired with an upscale front fascia. Furthermore, the Platinum model includes a panoramic Vista Roof as standard equipment, whereas the Active trim offers it as an option.
Features
The Active trim boasts an impressive standard feature list. Central to the dashboard is a 24-inch panoramic display housing a 13.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capability. Built-in Google Maps and Google Assistant streamline daily driving, while the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 safety suite provides comprehensive protective technology.
Inside the Platinum trim, high-end cabin amenities abound. Occupants enjoy premium leather upholstery, climate-controlled front seats, a 10-speaker B&O sound system, and custom multi-color ambient interior illumination.
