Towing is what the 2026 Ford Super Duty was built for. The headline numbers are best-in-class — up to 23,000 lbs maximum towing on the F-250, up to 38,000 lbs gooseneck on the F-350 DRW, and up to 40,000 lbs gooseneck on the F-450. This guide walks through what the Super Duty can pull, what equipment matters, and the real central Minnesota scenarios buyers come to us for — cattle goosenecks, horse trailers, fifth-wheel campers, and serious commercial loads.

The single biggest decision when ordering a 2026 Ford Super Duty is not XL versus Lariat or Crew Cab versus SuperCab — it is gas versus diesel, and which of the four available engines fits your actual use. Ford offers the 6.8L 2V V8 Gas, the 7.3L 2V V8 Gas Godzilla, the 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel B20, and the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke. The diesel adds roughly $10,000 to the purchase price — a meaningful number that has to pay back through use.

The 2026 Ford Super Duty lineup at Jay Malone Ford spans five retail trims — XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum — each built around a different kind of buyer. Picking the right one comes down to how you actually use a heavy-duty truck: stripped-down work truck for fleet and contractor use, family-friendly XLT, comfort-focused Lariat for personal use, distinctive King Ranch luxury, or top-tier Platinum with Platinum Plus Package for the ultimate equipment level.

The 2026 Ford Expedition is offered in two body lengths — standard and the longer Expedition MAX. The MAX adds up to 11.8 inches of additional cargo length and up to 37.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, which translates into a meaningfully different vehicle when you actually load it up with passengers and gear. For some central Minnesota families, the MAX is a clear upgrade. For others, the standard length is plenty. This guide walks through the actual differences and how to decide.

Buyers cross-shopping the 2026 Ford Expedition typically have three other vehicles on their list: the Chevrolet Tahoe, the Chevrolet Suburban, and the Toyota Sequoia. All four are body-on-frame, full-size, three-row SUVs built around the same use case — family hauling, real towing capacity, and the kind of long-haul comfort that makes road trips work. This guide compares the 2026 Expedition against all three competitors honestly, calls out where each vehicle wins, and helps you figure out which one fits.

The 2026 Ford Expedition was built for the kind of family hauling that defines central Minnesota life — a fishing boat to Belle Lake on Saturday, a pop-up camper to a state park on Sunday, the side-by-side trailer to a hunting lease in November, and the kids' gear plus grandparents on the long drives in between. Available max towing of up to 9,600 lbs when properly equipped puts the Expedition in the upper end of the full-size SUV segment. Pro Trailer features make towing genuinely easier than it used to be.

The 2026 Ford Expedition runs the most advanced technology stack Ford puts in any SUV — a 24-inch panoramic display paired with a 13.2-inch center stack, the Ford Digital Experience with Google services built in, and BlueCruise hands-free highway driving available across the lineup. Most of it is standard equipment from Active up. Some of it requires specific factory options that have to be ordered at build time and cannot be added later. Here is what to know.

The 2026 Ford Expedition Tremor is the first off-road-focused Expedition Ford has ever built. It is not a styling exercise — it is a substantially different vehicle than the rest of the lineup, with a 440-horsepower High-Output engine, modified suspension, electronic-locking rear differential, fuel tank skid plates, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and a Rock Crawl drive mode that did not exist on previous Expeditions. For central Minnesota buyers who actually use off-road capability, the Tremor finally gives the full-size Expedition the hardware to match.

The 2026 Ford Expedition lineup at Jay Malone Ford spans four retail trims — Active, the all-new Tremor, Platinum, and King Ranch — each built around a different kind of buyer. Picking the right one comes down to how you actually use a full-size SUV: family hauling versus off-road weekends versus highway luxury versus showing up at the deer camp in something that turns heads. This guide walks through every trim, what each one includes as standard, what packages matter most, and which one fits which buyer.
