Luxury feels most convincing when effort disappears. This new 2027 Ford Expedition Platinum 4x4 in Dark Matter Gray Metallic is built to remove the small struggles that come with a large three-row SUV. Power-deployable running boards make the step inside easier, the Ford Split Gate opens as you approach and the seven-passenger cabin is ready for a busy family day in Wesley Chapel or Tampa.

The climb disappears first. Open a door and the running boards lower into place, then tuck away once everyone is aboard. Parks Plus paint protection, rain repellent and headlight protection help preserve the Dark Matter Gray finish and 22-inch Ebony Bright machined wheels through Florida sun and storms.

The scramble for space disappears next. Heated second-row seating gives passengers a comfortable place to settle in, while the 40/20/40 PowerFold third row changes the balance between people and cargo. The Split Gate with Open on Approach also simplifies loading groceries, luggage or sports equipment.

Black Onyx leather-trimmed seating brings Platinum comfort to the front. Heated and ventilated seats, driver memory, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel and tri-zone climate control help the Expedition adapt as needs change. Parks Plus interior protection, cabin sanitizer and antimicrobial treatment add useful care for family use.

Highway fatigue becomes less of the trip. BlueCruise includes a 90-day trial for compatible hands-free highway driving support, while Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0 and the driver-facing camera add assistance through changing traffic. For families comparing a new 2027 Ford Expedition Platinum near Tampa, longer Florida drives can feel more manageable.

A 24-inch panoramic screen places important information across the drivers view, while a separate 13.2-inch display handles entertainment, settings and connected features. Wireless charging keeps a compatible phone powered, and the one-year connected package supports compatible Ford app functions and remote start.

The compromise between luxury and capability disappears underneath. Fords 3.5L EcoBoost V6 and 10-speed SelectShift automatic provide confident response with passengers, cargo or a compatible trailer aboard. Intelligent four-wheel drive, Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control and selectable drive modes prepare this Expedition for heavy rain, loose surfaces and changing grades beyond New Tampa, Lutz or Land O Lakes.

Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow equipment expands what this Platinum can bring along, while Trailer Sway Control adds support once connected. Pro Power Onboard supplies up to 400 watts for compatible devices away from an outlet around Odessa or Zephyrhills.

Every new Ford Expedition at Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. Parks Plus also adds nitrogen tire service, anti-theft VIN etching, stolen-vehicle assistance, roadside assistance and collision loyalty benefits.

What remains is a Dark Matter Gray Expedition Platinum with seven-passenger flexibility, premium technology, intelligent 4WD and towing hardware working together without making the driver manage every detail. Price includes $1,395 dealer added accessories.
