2025 Ford Expedition SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Ford Expedition is available in four trim levels: Active, Platinum, Tremor and King Ranch. You also have the choice of the regular-wheelbase Expedition and the long-wheelbase Expedition Max that provides more cargo space. Both wheelbase versions can be optioned to seat seven or eight passengers.

The Expedition is powered by a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 that's available in two states of tune. The standard version produces 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, and the high-output version makes 440 hp and 510 lb-ft. The high-output version is standard on the Tremor and optional on the Platinum. Both are backed by a 10-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive is standard on all trims but the base Active trim where it's optional. Keep reading for our rundown of the Expedition's significant standard features and options.

Active
The base Active trim starts you off with:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Power liftgate
  • Eight-passenger seating (seven-passenger seating is optional with captain's chairs)
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Keyless entry and start
  • 13.2-inch center touchscreen

  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (wireless connectivity for both)
  • Google Maps and Google Assistant functionality

  • Heavy-duty towing package (four-wheel-drive models only)

All Expeditions also come with the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 package of advanced driver aids. It includes:

  • Blind-spot warning with cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Expedition and the car in front)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Expedition and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Intersection collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision during a left turn and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

  • Four-wheel drive
  • Power-deployable running boards
  • Leather upholstery
  • Massaging front seats
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated second-row captain's chairs (rear bench seat is available)
  • Power-adjustable pedals
  • Multi-color interior ambient lighting
  • 10-speaker B&O audio system

    • High-output V6 engine
    • Driver's package
    • 22-inch black wheels
    • Black exterior badging and trim
    • Black leather upholstery

Tremor
Includes the Platinum's features minus the power-deployable running boards and adds:

  • High-output V6 engine
  • 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires
  • Off-road-tuned suspension with a 1-inch lift
  • Locking rear differential (maximizes available traction during off-roading)
  • Underbody skid plates

  • Unique grille and exterior trim
  • Front seats with Tremor logo

King Ranch
The Expedition King Ranch builds on the Platinum trim with:

  • 22-inch bronze-colored wheels

  • Bronze exterior accents
  • Distinct brown leather upholstery with King Ranch logo
  • 22-speaker B&O audio system

Which Expedition trim does Edmunds recommend?

Even though the midlevel Platinum trim is markedly more expensive than the base Active trim, it's the way to go because the long list of extra features is worth the premium. Plus, you can option the Platinum with the high-output engine and with more packages than any other trim level. The 22-speaker B&O audio system and adaptive suspension in the Driver's package are worthy upgrades.
