2026 Ford Expedition MAX Platinum

The Expedition MAX is Ford's largest SUV, a three-row family hauler that stretches the standard Expedition for extra cargo room. It squares off against the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, offering similar space with a more car-like ride. The turbo V6 pulls strongly from low revs, making the big SUV feel quicker than its size suggests. The ride is composed on the highway, though the long wheelbase means a firm step over sharp bumps. The Platinum sits above the Active and below the King Ranch in the Expedition MAX lineup, adding luxury touches like ventilated front seats and a panoramic roof. Its high-output 3.5L H/O EcoBoost V6 makes this big SUV feel eager off the line, and the four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case handles snow or gravel confidently. The available Platinum Ultimate Package adds 24-inch Tarnished Dark Machined Aluminum wheels, which sharpen the look but firm up the ride over broken pavement.
