Worcester families pick the Expedition Tremor for trails, King Ranch for comfort
The Tremor is the trim built for the rough stuff, and the King Ranch is the one built for the drive home with the kids in the back. Both are full-size three-row SUVs, so the choice comes down to what your family does most. The Tremor carries 10.6 inches of ground clearance and 33-inch all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels. The King Ranch carries 22-inch all-season tires and a cabin finished in Mesa/Ebony with Del Rio leather seats, console, door and steering wheel.
Our showroom sits on Washington Street in Auburn.
How much do the 2027 Expedition Tremor and King Ranch cost?
Ford lists the Tremor at a starting MSRP of $82,720 and the King Ranch at $83,015 for the 2027 model year, so the two sit in the same price range. The MAX King Ranch, the longer version, lists at $86,015. Those are starting prices for each trim, so a family should expect the final number to move with the options it adds.
How much power and towing does each 2027 Expedition trim have?
The Tremor is the only trim here with the High-Output version of the 3.5L EcoBoost V6, rated at 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. Edmunds notes the high-output engine is standard on the Tremor and optional on the Platinum. The King Ranch uses the standard 3.5L EcoBoost V6, rated at 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, and it is the only engine offered on that trim.
For towing, the 4×4 Tremor is rated at up to 9,300 pounds when properly equipped with a weight distribution hitch. A family planning to tow a boat or a trailer should check the rating for the exact configuration before buying, because the figure changes with wheel size and hitch setup.
How many passengers and how much cargo fit in each Expedition trim?
For the 2026 model year, the Tremor seats seven or eight, and the King Ranch seats seven (Ford, 2026). The Tremor offers 69.9 cubic feet with the second row in place and 22.9 with the third in place, the same figures listed for the King Ranch.
Legroom is the same across the 4×2 and 4×4 Expedition models, at 43.9 inches in row one, 41.1 inches in row two and 36.5 inches in row three. Families with car seats in the second row should measure their own seats against the cabin before they buy.
What standard equipment comes on the Expedition Tremor and King Ranch?
The Tremor is off-road-ready from the factory. It comes with Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System, a 3.73 electronic-locking differential, 18-inch Dark Carbonized Gray painted aluminum wheels with an Electric Spice pocket, and 33-inch all-terrain tires. Ford’s Tremor page also lists heated and ventilated front captain’s chairs, a 24-inch panoramic display, a 13.2-inch center display, a 360-degree camera, Pre-Collision Assist with automatic emergency braking, and Trail Control.
Ford’s 2026 warranty for the Expedition covers 3 years or 36,000 miles basic, 5 years or 60,000 miles powertrain, and 5 years with unlimited miles for corrosion (Ford, 2026).
Which 2027 Expedition trim has the features your family needs?
Start with the trail. The Tremor has 10.6 inches of ground clearance, and the King Ranch has 8.7 inches of minimum running ground clearance. Both are 4×4 figures from Ford’s own specifications. The Tremor also carries a 3.73 final drive ratio with an electronic-locking rear differential.
Then look at the cabin. The King Ranch brings Sinister Bronze grille bars, Mesa Del Rio leather with Norias Solid stitching forming the console, and 22-inch wheels with P275/50R22 all-season tires. A family that spends most of its miles on pavement and wants a quieter, more finished cabin will find more to like in the King Ranch.
When is the Tremor or the King Ranch the wrong Expedition for your family?
The Tremor is the wrong pick for a family that never leaves paved roads. Its off-road hardware, 33-inch tires and 10.6 inches of ground clearance do more than a daily school run needs, and the price difference is real. The King Ranch fits that family better, with its leather-and-wood cabin and its 22-inch all-season tires.
The King Ranch is the wrong pick for a family whose weekends are gravel roads, trail trips and mud. Its 8.7 inches of ground clearance and all-season tires are built for pavement. Ira Ford Auburn sells both trims, so a family can drive each one before choosing.

Massachusetts charges a 6.25% sales tax on a vehicle bought from a registered dealer, and the buyer pays it.
