At Canton Ford, we know that East Texas drivers demand a vehicle that works hard and keeps everyone comfortable.

First-Hand Experience: Real-World Capability in Van Zandt County

A Note from the Canton Ford Team:

“We recently took a 2026 Ford Expedition Tremor out for a drive around Van Zandt County to see how it handles local demands. We loaded the back with gear after a busy weekend at First Monday Trade Days, taking full advantage of the new Ford Split Gate to easily access the cargo area. The sturdy lower tailgate supported our weight perfectly while we organized our antique finds. Later in the day, we hitched up a 24-foot pontoon boat and headed down State Highway 19 toward Cedar Creek Lake. Merging onto Interstate 20 felt completely effortless thanks to the High-Output EcoBoost V6 engine. Once we arrived at the marina, the Pro Trailer Backup Assist made launching the boat incredibly simple, even on a busy Saturday. It is the perfect blend of Texas-sized capability and refined daily comfort.”

 

 

Performance and Engine Specs

The 2026 Ford Expedition is built on a foundation of proven Ford performance. You can choose the exact level of power your lifestyle requires.

  • 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (Standard): This robust twin-turbo engine delivers an impressive 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard on the Active, King Ranch, and Platinum trims, providing excellent acceleration and reliable highway passing power.
  • High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost V6: Standard on the off-road-ready Tremor and available as an upgrade on the Platinum trim, this enhanced powertrain produces a massive 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque.
  • 10-Speed Automatic Transmission: Both engine options are paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission that optimizes power delivery, towing stability, and fuel efficiency.

Drivetrain Options: Rear-wheel drive is standard on select models, while the Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System is standard on the Tremor and widely available across the rest of the lineup to help you conquer mud, sand, and heavy rain.

 

2026 Ford Expedition Capabilities.

When properly equipped with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, the 2026 Ford Expedition offers a max towing capacity of up to 9,600 pounds. This makes it more than capable of pulling large travel trailers, horse trailers, or heavy boats to your favorite vacation spots.
owing is also smarter than ever before. The available Pro Trailer Backup Assist allows you to steer your trailer in reverse simply by turning a dedicated knob on the dashboard. The Pro Trailer Hitch Assist automatically aligns the SUV with your trailer coupler, taking the frustration and guesswork out of hooking up. Additionally, the available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system now features Lane Change Assist, making long trips down I-20 or commutes into the Dallas metroplex much more relaxing.

With the push of a button, the entire center console can slide backward to give front passengers more open space to store a purse or bag. Alternatively, moving it forward provides second-row passengers with easier access to climate controls and cup holders. The exclusive 40/20/40 folding third-row bench seat is another fantastic innovation. It allows you to create a long center aisle, which is perfect for sliding in fishing rods, skis, or lumber, all while still safely seating passengers on either side. You no longer have to choose between carrying long cargo and bringing your friends along for the ride.

The visual centerpiece is the massive 24-inch panoramic driver display perched at the top of the dashboard. This strategic placement keeps vital information, such as your speed and navigation routes, close to your natural line of sight. This digital cluster is paired with a vibrant 13.2-inch center touchscreen featuring the new Ford Digital Experience. With Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto, you can seamlessly integrate your digital life on the go without cluttering the cabin with cords.
