I found a build and price link on a dealers page for the 26. It shows pricing and the new options. Doesn’t look like too many changes. Marsh gray is now an option. A couple of standard features are a la carte now. I put a link below.

I don’t really care about any of the stuff they removed from the explorer so I welcome the cost savings. Add a sport appearance package to give it better wheels and grille and it would probably be the one I would buy.
The expedition looks much better with the painted liftgate. Still not sure why they didn’t do this from the get go. However now the side windows don’t line up with the rear window. Looks like there might be some black trim of the side windows that the rear window doesn’t have.
For those of you who are interested, Long McArthur, a dealership in KS, has their own build site on their website: Custom Order 2026 Ford Expedition Platinum 4-Door 4WD SUV 10A in Salina, KS - Long McArthur Ford
That's fair.......I just figured it might usher in the refresh, but you're right to do all the engineering required to add a sedan variant, just to redesign it 3 years later doesn't make much sense. Which is why Ford will do it that way lol.
That's an interesting point for a couple of reasons. First, 14' overhead doors and ceiling heights to accommodate high profile vehicles are not only necessary for typical medium duty commercial trucks, they are also required for high-roof Transits, motorhomes, and step-vans, which are vehicles we know Ford is fully committed to. The second point to consider is that this requirement for 'Ford Pro' dealers underscores how Ford's once extensive commercial truck dealer network is long gone. Most all of the former Ford heavy trucks dealers went to Sterling more than 25 years ago, and the few that survived to the present day are selling Freightliners. There seems to be very few Ford Truck legacy dealers that are around today as Ford Pro dealers.
I hate to say this, but I'd be slightly surprised if a sedan is coming that early-it doesn't make sense to do a refresh and add a new product-I'd say that in 2029 its far more likely because it will be either a deep refresh or a wholly new top hat that makes it easier to share parts with a sedan.
I don't see that making sense - why debut one model, with the others trailing? Then you'd be retooling to make the new one alongside the old version instead of just retooling the factory at one time for a next gen model? I think they'll all debut at the same time.
