Engine & Performance

|---|---|
| Engine | 3.5L V6 |
| Transmission | Automatic |
| Drivetrain | 4WD |
Under the hood of the 2026 Expedition, the 3.5L V6 engine provides the mechanical muscle necessary for the agricultural and equestrian demands of Middle Tennessee. This powertrain is paired with a standard automatic transmission and 4WD across the focus trims, ensuring traction on the rolling hills of Shelbyville or the muddy access points along the Duck River in Manchester. While the Active and King Ranch trims utilize the standard configuration to achieve a combined 20 MPG, the Platinum trim features the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 High Output Engine as included equipment. This high-output variant is engineered for rapid acceleration, as evidenced by a 0–60 mph time of 5.5 seconds recorded in professional testing.
The mechanical integrity of this SUV supports heavy-duty utility, making it a favorite for local horse breeders hitching a trailer for the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration. To maintain this level of performance over years of hauling, owners can source genuine components through our Parts Department designed specifically for the EcoBoost platform. The Tremor trim further optimizes this power for rugged terrain, though the specialized off-road tuning adjusts its fuel efficiency to 15 city / 22 hwy MPG. Whether navigating gravel farm lanes or merging onto regional highways, the powertrain remains composed and stable, providing the torque required to move a full cabin of 9 passengers and their gear without hesitation.
