Alpine Ford – How the 2026 Expedition Platinum Makes Big-Trip Driving Easier for Families around Colorado Springs, CO

When weekends turn into miles and memories, the 2026 Expedition® Platinum® keeps your crew relaxed, organized, and confident. This three-row SUV pairs effortless power with a hushed, leather-trimmed cabin that turns daily carpool and I-25 road trips into something you can actually look forward to. With Ford Digital Experience anchoring a wide 24-inch panoramic instrument panel display and a crisp 13.2-inch center display, you get a clean, elegant interface for navigation, streaming apps, and multi-device connectivity. Add a Panoramic Vista Roof® for open-air light and the available B&O® Unleashed Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® with 22 speakers for a rolling concert hall that keeps playlist battles friendly. BlueCruise hands-free highway driving — equipped with a trial plan — helps ease long-haul fatigue, while the 360-Degree Camera and Ford Co-Pilot360® Active 2.0 bring parking-lot peace to crowded weekend destinations.

Expedition Platinum doesn’t just feel upscale — it’s practical. Heated and ventilated first-row seats and heated second-row captain’s chairs handle Colorado temperature swings, while the power-folding third row, abundant USB-C ports in every row, and the clever Flex Powered Console keep devices powered and the cabin picked up. The standard 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 and 10-speed automatic deliver smooth, confident power, and when your itinerary includes campers, boats, or ATVs, the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package and trailer-savvy tech such as Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist help you line up and pull away with confidence. Expedition Platinum proves you do not have to choose between premium comfort and do-it-all versatility.

• Cabin comfort: Leather-trimmed seating with available Multi-Contour Seats with Active Motion® massage, Tri-Zone Automatic Temperature Control, and a Panoramic Vista Roof®.
• Driver-assist confidence: BlueCruise hands-free highway driving trial, Ford Co-Pilot360® Active 2.0, 360-Degree Camera, and Reverse Brake Assist.
• Trailering support: Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, and an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller.
• In-vehicle tech: Ford Digital Experience with a 24-inch panoramic instrument panel display, 13.2-inch center display, and available B&O® Unleashed Sound System with 22 speakers.

Families often ask where Platinum best fits the SUV landscape. If you want premium materials, thoughtful amenities, and long-drive tech without stepping into full-size luxury pricing territory, Platinum delivers. The standard 20-inch wheels look right at home at the trailhead or valet; available 22- and 24-inch wheel options dial up the stance. And because this SUV is engineered for real family life, practical features such as 360-Degree Zone Lighting, Phone As A Key, Pro Power Onboard™ 400W outlets, and the Ford Split Gate with Open On Approach make after-dark load-ins, athletic practices, and mountain-house weekends easier and safer.

Alpine Ford — serving Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Canon City — is ready to help you build an Expedition Platinum that suits your lifestyle. From choosing the right seating configuration to mapping out trailering tech, our product specialists will guide you feature by feature so you get exactly what you want and nothing you don’t.
