The Ford Expedition Tremor is the off-road-focused version of Ford full-size SUV. On the 2027 Expedition, Tremor adds a 3.73 electronic-locking differential, underbody protection, 33″ all-terrain tires and the 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 High-Output rated up to 440 hp. Every Expedition comes with 4×4.
People often call it the “Tremor package.” Ford actually lists Tremor as its own trim, next to Active, Platinum and King Ranch. The trail hardware comes built in, so you don’t add it piece by piece.
Here’s what we’ll cover: what the Tremor includes, how its wheels and tires are set up, what the Expedition can tow and how it stacks up against the Platinum. When you’re ready to see one in person, browse the Ford Expedition inventory at Yorkdale Ford in Toronto.
What Is the Ford Expedition Tremor Package?
The Tremor is the Expedition built for rougher ground. It keeps the size and family-hauling space of a full-size SUV. Then it adds hardware for gravel roads, muddy trailheads and snowy side streets across Ontario.
According to Ford Canada, here’s the 2027 Tremor hardware at a glance:
| Feature | 2027 Expedition Tremor |
|---|---|
| Engine | 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 High-Output, up to 440 hp |
| Drivetrain | 4×4 (standard on the Expedition) |
| Differential | 3.73 electronic-locking differential |
| Protection | Underbody protection |
| Wheels | 18″ Dark Carbonized Grey-painted aluminum with Electric Spice pocket |
| Tires | 33″ all-terrain |
What makes it different from other Expedition trims
The Tremor is the trim with dedicated off-road hardware. You can spot the difference in a few ways:
- A locking differential for low-traction ground
- Underbody protection for rocks and ruts
- Larger 33″ all-terrain tires
- Distinct Dark Carbonized Grey wheels with Electric Spice accents
Ford Expedition Tremor Engine and Drivetrain
The 2027 Tremor features the 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 High-Output, rated up to 440 hp. That’s the more powerful of the two Expedition engines. The regular 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6, by comparison, is rated up to 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque.
Why 4×4 and a locking differential matter in Toronto winters
Every Expedition comes with 4×4. On the Tremor, Ford pairs it with a 3.73 electronic-locking differential.
A locking differential makes the wheels on an axle turn together. So power reaches the tire with grip, even when the other one is spinning on ice or mud. It helps when you’re:
- Climbing a loose gravel hill
- Pulling out of a snowbank after a Toronto storm
- Crossing a muddy patch at a trailhead
- Getting a boat trailer up a slick ramp
Tremor Wheels, Tires and Underbody Protection
The tires are where the Tremor’s purpose is easiest to see. The 2027 Tremor rides on 33″ all-terrain tires mounted on 18″ Dark Carbonized Grey-painted aluminum wheels with an Electric Spice pocket.
Why 18-inch wheels with 33-inch tires
A smaller wheel with a tall tire leaves more sidewall between the rim and the ground. That extra sidewall soaks up bumps and potholes. It also gives the tire room to flex over rocks and ruts.
What underbody protection does
Underbody protection shields key parts underneath the SUV. On a washed-out road or rocky trail, it helps guard against scrapes and impacts.
Towing on the Ford Expedition Tremor
The 2027 Expedition tows up to 4,354 kg (9,600 lbs) when properly equipped with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package on 4×4 models. For a closer look at trailer behaviour, read how the Expedition handles a loaded trailer.

Expedition Tremor vs Platinum for Ontario Drivers
Both trims are excellent choices. They’re built for different priorities, so the best fit depends on how you’ll use your Expedition.
Who the Tremor suits
The Tremor makes sense if your weekends include dirt roads or trailheads. It’s also a strong fit for drivers who want off-road hardware built in. You get:
- The 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 High-Output, up to 440 hp
- A 3.73 electronic-locking differential
- Underbody protection
- 33″ all-terrain tires on 18″ wheels
Who the Platinum suits
The Platinum is for drivers who want a polished, premium feel on the road. It rides on 20-inch Ebony bright-machined aluminum wheels and features the Flex Powered Console. For 2027, the 30th Anniversary Appearance Package is exclusive to Expedition Platinum models.
Both share the Expedition roomy cabin, covered in our guide to the 2027 Ford Expedition interior, row by row.
