What does a new Ford Expedition cost in Southwest Houston?

Ford’s published 2026 starting prices include $62,700 for the Expedition Active and $87,360 for the Expedition MAX King Ranch. Each trim carries its own price, so pick the trim first and the number follows.

Ford sets a starting price for each trim. The Expedition Platinum starts at $74,250, and the Expedition Tremor starts at $81,700. Advertised prices in Southwest Houston depend on trim and options, so check any advertised figure against Ford’s starting price for the same trim.

How do Expedition trims compare on price, seating and towing?

The Expedition Active and MAX Active both seat 8, while the King Ranch and MAX King Ranch seat 7. Ford’s published 2026 starting prices and seating for each trim:

Towing is published by configuration rather than by trim. According to Ford’s published 2026 specifications, the 4×2 Expedition tows 6,000 pounds and the 4×2 Expedition MAX tows 6,300 pounds, both when properly equipped. The 4×4 Expedition tows 9,200 pounds with 24-inch wheels or 9,600 pounds without them, when properly equipped and with a weight distributing hitch. The Expedition Tremor 4×4 tows 9,300 pounds when properly equipped, with a weight distribution hitch.

What taxes and fees go on top of an Expedition price in Texas?

Texas sales tax is 6.25% of the sales price minus your trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). Registration and title fees are separate from that tax.

The annual registration fee for a passenger vehicle of 6,000 pounds or less is $50.75, plus local county fees (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026). In Harris County, the local fee is $11.50, and the registration fee includes $1 for the TexasSure insurance verification project.

The title fee in Harris County is $33 (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, Motor Vehicle Title Manual, 2026). When a dealer sells you the car, the dealer files the title application for you, and you should get a receipt showing the car titled in your name (TxDMV, Buying or Selling a Vehicle).

Texas sets no hard dollar cap on a dealer documentary fee. A documentary fee above $225 requires a notice and a cost analysis filed with the state regulator (Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner, 2024).

Illustrative: a $62,700 Expedition Active with a $5,000 trade-in allowance leaves $57,700 taxable at 6.25%, or $3,606.25 in sales tax, before title and registration.

How do you compare Expedition prices between Houston dealers fairly?

Compare the same trim, the same options and the same fee lines at every store. Some advertised Expedition prices include a dealer-added package, so check whether the price you were quoted includes one.

We sell new Ford, including the Expedition, and have an online new-vehicle inventory. Dealers often add a vehicle inventory tax as a separate line. The Comptroller describes it as a property tax on the dealer, not the buyer, and a negotiable item on the sales agreement (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Motor Vehicle Tax Guide, 2026).

In a June 2026 5-star Google review, Jenny L. wrote: “Great price, about 11-12k in discounts and no dealer addons.”

How do you get an instant trade-in offer before you price an Expedition?

Your trade-in allowance comes off the price before Texas sales tax is figured, so the offer changes the total you pay. Get the offer before you settle on a trim.

Edmunds (2025) found that 28.2% of trade-ins in July 2025 involved negative equity, with buyers owing an average of $6,902 above the vehicle’s value. Knowing your trade’s value before you price the new Expedition keeps that gap out of the deal.

In an August 2026 5-star Google review, Kristin wrote: “Great priced cars and fair trade in value made for a quick and easy car buying experience. Maybe one of the best ones we have ever had! And we change our vehicles often. Highly recommend!”

How do you turn an Expedition price into a monthly payment?

Start with the amount you will finance: the trim price, minus your trade-in allowance, plus Texas tax and fees. We offer financing for all credit types, and we offer Ford leases along with new and pre-owned financing.

Edmunds (2025) reported that a record 19.3% of consumers who financed a new vehicle in Q2 2025 committed to a monthly payment of $1,000 or more. Set your monthly limit before you see a payment quote, so the number on the page does not set your budget.
