Other standard features include 5-passenger seating, Sync 4 infotainment system with a 12-inch touchscreen, active grille shutters, LED headlights, and a Pre-Collision Assist system.

It also has exclusive ebony-painted 18-inch wheels, zone lighting, Ford Trail Control, a steel front skid plate, and 32-inch all-terrain tires.

King Ranch

The King Ranch brand is synonymous with rugged quality and luxury features, and the King Ranch Expedition delivers on that tradition.

It also offers enhanced tech like a Center Stack Display with a 15.5-inch touchscreen, a 12.4-inch digital cluster, and a 22-speaker B&O Unleashed sound system with a subwoofer.

Platinum

The Platinum trim level represents the peak of the Expedition line. It includes amenities that elevate driver comfort and convenience, such as the BlueCruise Hands-Free Driving system, a Continual Controlled Damping suspension, Multicontour Front Seats with Active Motion Massage, exclusive satin and aluminum design elements, and a Wollsdorf leather-wrapped steering wheel.

What Features Actually Matter Most in a Family Vehicle

Shopping for a family vehicle means prioritizing differently than any other buyer. Cargo space, third-row access, safety technology, towing capacity, and fuel economy all carry more weight when you have kids, gear, and schedules to manage. The best Ford for families looks different depending on family size and lifestyle, but the 2026 Ford SUV lineup covers every need from compact to full-size. Here is how the Ford SUV lineup stacks up for families in the Salisbury area.

The 2026 Ford Escape provides five-passenger seating with a sliding second row, 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats folded, and a practical footprint for families who want maneuverability in addition to utility. For families who need a third row, the 2026 Ford Explorer seats up to seven passengers and offers up to 85.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front row. How does a family decide between the Escape and Explorer in the Ford SUV lineup? The two-row Escape is the right choice for smaller families or those who prioritize fuel economy and a lower purchase price. The Explorer fits families who regularly carry more than five people or need the additional cargo room that comes with a longer wheelbase. For larger families or those who tow, the 2026 Ford Expedition seats up to eight and offers a MAX body style with up to 123.1 cubic feet of cargo space, the most in the Ford SUV lineup.

The Expedition runs a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 producing 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, capable of towing up to 9,600 pounds, which covers boats, campers, and cargo trailers. For families who need off-road capability without committing to the full Bronco, the Bronco Sport provides a capable compact SUV option with standard four-wheel drive and terrain management. Does the Ford SUV lineup cover hybrid and electric options for families? The Escape Hybrid and Escape PHEV bring strong efficiency, and the Mustang Mach-E provides a fully electric alternative for families ready to make the switch.

Ford Co-Pilot360 technology includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assist, and rear cross-traffic alert on models across the lineup. The Explorer and Expedition add available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving assistance, which reduces fatigue on longer family road trips. The Expedition's 24-inch panoramic digital display provides one of the most comprehensive driver information setups in the full-size SUV segment.
