400 Horsepower Is the Starting Point for the 2027 Expedition
Calling this the "standard" Expedition engine can undersell what it actually delivers.
The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 produces 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, giving the Expedition substantial power before a buyer ever considers the available High-Output version.
That output is well suited to what full-size SUV owners ask their vehicles to do: carry large families, accelerate confidently onto the highway, climb grades with a loaded cabin, travel long distances and tow recreational equipment when properly configured.
What Is Ford EcoBoost?
EcoBoost is Ford's approach to combining turbocharging and direct fuel injection to produce strong power and torque from a smaller displacement engine than a traditional naturally aspirated full-size SUV powertrain.
In the Expedition, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 uses twin turbochargers to help deliver the low- and mid-range torque that is especially useful in a large SUV.
The result is a powertrain capable of producing 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque without requiring a V8.
2027 Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost Highlights
400 Horsepower
Standard output gives the Expedition strong acceleration for a vehicle designed to carry three rows of passengers and substantial cargo.
480 LB-FT of Torque
Strong torque is especially valuable when moving a loaded SUV, climbing grades or pulling a trailer.
Twin Turbochargers
EcoBoost turbocharging helps the V6 produce power and torque levels traditionally associated with much larger engines.
10-Speed Automatic
The broad gear spread helps support low-speed response, highway cruising and towing performance.
Available 4x4
Depending on trim, the standard EcoBoost can be paired with 4x4 for additional traction in changing road and weather conditions.
Serious Towing Potential
Select properly equipped standard-length Expedition 4x4 models can tow up to 9,600 pounds.
Why 480 LB-FT of Torque Matters
Horsepower gets attention. Torque is what Expedition owners often feel most during the kind of driving a full-size SUV is built to handle.
Loaded Family Travel
Passengers, luggage and cargo add weight quickly. Strong torque helps the Expedition remain responsive when the cabin is full.
Trailer Duty
Torque helps move a trailer from a stop and provides useful pulling power on grades and during highway travel.
Confident Highway Driving
Turbocharged torque helps provide strong response for merging, passing and changing speeds without making the Expedition feel underpowered for its size.

Which Expedition Trims Use the Standard EcoBoost?
The 400-horsepower 3.5L EcoBoost is the core Expedition engine and appears across much of the lineup.
Active and Active MAX use it as their standard powertrain, making it the engine most family-oriented Expedition shoppers will encounter.
Platinum and Platinum MAX also start with the 400-horsepower EcoBoost, although select packages can upgrade Platinum to the High-Output engine.
King Ranch and King Ranch MAX pair the standard EcoBoost with their premium Mesa-themed luxury treatment.

Towing is one of the biggest reasons families choose an Expedition over a smaller three-row SUV.
Select properly equipped standard-length Expedition 4x4 configurations can tow up to 9,600 pounds when equipped with the appropriate towing hardware.
That gives Expedition owners the ability to consider a wide range of recreational trailers, boats and campers.
It is important to remember that engine output alone does not determine towing capacity. Body length, drivetrain, axle ratio, equipment, passenger weight, cargo and trailer configuration all affect the final rating.
Ask About Expedition Towing3.5L EcoBoost Fuel Economy
The Expedition's EcoBoost V6 is designed to balance full-size SUV power with more efficient highway operation than many drivers may expect from a vehicle of this size.
Current 2027 figures show some 4x2 Expedition configurations achieving up to an EPA-estimated 16 MPG city / 23 MPG highway.
Standard-engine 4x4 configurations generally carry ratings around 15 MPG city / 22 MPG highway, depending on the exact model.
Actual fuel economy will vary with speed, weather, passenger load, cargo, towing, tire pressure, driving habits and vehicle configuration.
Who Should Choose the Standard 3.5L EcoBoost?
Family SUV Buyers
The standard EcoBoost already provides more than enough power for most families using Expedition for commuting, school, sports and travel.
Road-Trip Families
Strong torque, a 10-speed automatic and highway-oriented performance make the engine well suited for interstate travel with passengers and luggage.
Boat & Camper Owners
Properly configured Expedition models with this engine provide serious towing capability for many recreational trailers.
Drivers Wanting 4x4
Available four-wheel drive allows buyers to pair the standard EcoBoost with additional traction for Missouri winters and outdoor use.
Luxury Buyers
Platinum and King Ranch shoppers can enjoy premium interiors while retaining the standard 400-horsepower EcoBoost powertrain.
Buyers Who Do Not Need 440 HP
If 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft already exceed your everyday needs, there may be little reason to pursue the High-Output engine solely for its extra output.
Standard EcoBoost vs. High-Output EcoBoost
3.5L EcoBoost V6
- 400 horsepower
- 480 lb-ft of torque
- 10-speed automatic
- Broad trim availability
- Excellent family and highway performance
- Serious available towing capability
- Best starting point for most Expedition buyers
High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost V6
- 440 horsepower
- 510 lb-ft of torque
- 10-speed automatic
- Standard on Tremor
- Available with select Platinum configurations
- Stronger acceleration and performance
- Best for Tremor, Stealth Performance and Platinum Ultimate buyers
Do You Really Need the High-Output Engine?
For many Expedition shoppers, the answer is no.
The standard engine already makes 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. That is substantial output for family travel, highway driving and properly configured towing.
The High-Output engine becomes more compelling when you specifically want Tremor's off-road personality, the performance character of a Platinum Stealth Performance model or the flagship combination found in Platinum Ultimate.
If your priorities are passenger space, cargo room, towing and everyday performance, the standard 3.5L EcoBoost may be all the Expedition engine you need.
Built for Kansas City-Area Driving
The 3.5L EcoBoost fits the variety of driving Expedition owners encounter throughout northwest Missouri.
It has the power for interstate travel into Kansas City, the torque for towing toward Smithville Lake, the passenger capacity for family trips and available 4x4 for winter roads around Excelsior Springs, Liberty, Kearney and surrounding communities.
That ability to handle multiple jobs is exactly why the standard EcoBoost is used across so much of the Expedition lineup.
