Powerful Full-Size SUV Made for All Journeys

The 2026 Ford Expedition Base model epitomizes full-size SUV capability with seating for seven to eight occupants across three rows, embracing large families or extended groups with ease. Engineered for both everyday practicality and adventurous escapades, this fifth-generation SUV launched in 2025 continues the legacy of the Expedition with refined performance and utility.

With dimensions stretching 221.7 inches in length, a generous width of 80 inches, and a height of 78 inches, the Expedition asserts a formidable road presence suitable for drivers coming from East Flat Rock or Hendersonville. Its substantial 131.5-inch wheelbase fosters enhanced passenger comfort and cabin space, ensuring ample room without feeling cumbersome on highways near Asheville.

Cargo versatility is a pillar of this SUV's design: the base model offers 36 cubic feet of space behind the third row, expanding to 75 cubic feet behind the middle row and reaching up to 123 cubic feet when folding both the second and third rows - ideal for transporting sporting gear or holiday luggage for families in Mills River or Pisgah Forest.

This model's architecture features both rear-wheel and available four-wheel drive configurations to address the needs of Brevard drivers navigating variable terrains. Whether you're cruising city streets or heading into off-pavement adventures around Lake Toxaway, the 2026 Expedition stands ready to deliver.

Bold Exterior Styling with Functional Details

Robust Engine and Driving Dynamics

The drivetrain of the 2026 Ford Expedition Base centers on a technologically advanced 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. This powerplant produces a strong 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, commanding both highway passing maneuvers on I-26 and technical towing tasks within the Brevard region.

Drivers in areas like Arden and Mills River will appreciate the Expedition's seamless transmission shifts combined with the robust engine's torque curve, providing immediate response during highway merges or when towing boats and trailers. The 10-speed automatic gearbox optimizes fuel efficiency and performance under a variety of load conditions.

Suspension tuning is focused on ride smoothness rather than sharp handling, affording a comfortable ride on both city streets and rural asphalt roads. The availability of advanced driving modes eases the effort of driving through rugged terrain for owners opting for the Tremor trim, which is specifically outfitted for off-road application with increased clearance and specialized traction systems.

The braking system features large, vented discs on all four wheels, delivering dependable stopping power critical for safe operation with heavy cargo or trailers.

Front and rear-seat passengers enjoy generous legroom and headroom, with measurements designed to ease long-distance comfort, ideal for families travelling from Pisgah Forest or Hendersonville.

Seats in the second row can be configured with either a bench seat or optional captain's chairs, enhancing passenger comfort and facilitating easier entry into the third row. The rear seating area is designed with a folding third-row center section to create a pass-through cargo tunnel, making it simple to transport lengthy items without sacrificing passenger space.

Cargo space behind each row maximizes versatility:

Additional interior conveniences include digitally compatible rear headrests equipped with device holders and multiple USB charging ports to keep devices powered during extended drives around East Flat Rock.

Advanced Technology & Seamless Connectivity

Technology serves as a cornerstone of the Expedition's appeal with both driver and passenger connectivity and convenience well-addressed, particularly for tech-savvy drivers in Rosman and nearby locales.

The instrument cluster features a striking 24-inch digital display positioned prominently near the windshield, replacing traditional gauges and providing configurable readouts such as navigation data, media, and vehicle diagnostics.
