If you’re searching for a large SUV that provides plenty of room for the daily carpool and family road trips, it makes sense that you’ve put the Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition on your list. These SUVs provide ample interior space along with considerable horsepower and smart safety, but which one is a better match for your lifestyle and needs? Let’s compare some essential qualities to determine the winner.
With an investment as big as your next vehicle, you have to make sure you’re getting as much as you can without spending more than you need to. Both the Tahoe and Expedition have plenty to offer, while the Tahoe delivers its excellent value at a significantly more affordable price point. The price difference continues as you climb the trim range of each SUV, meaning you can enjoy the top-of-the-line Tahoe Premier with luxe-level amenities for notably less than the pricey Expedition Platinum. Experts have also praised the Tahoe for its reassuring reliability, while the Expedition has inspired less confidence in critics and automotive professionals. If you want to spend more time on the road and less time waiting at the service center, the Tahoe delivers.
When you hit the road with a cabin full of family and friends, you want to make sure that everyone is comfortable. These SUVs are both respected for their roomy interiors, but the specifics reveal which one is better suited for your longest family trips. The Tahoe can seat up to nine people, one more than the Expedition’s eight-seater capacity. The Chevy’s cabin is furnished with high-quality materials and soft surfaces throughout, while the Ford shows its close relationship to the spartan F-150 with some hard plastic materials. The standard cloth of either vehicle can be upgraded to leather upholstery, and leather-wrapped steering wheel comes standard in both models. If you plan to haul more cargo than passengers, the Tahoe is also available in a two-row configuration that swaps out the third row for more storage space.
A large SUV should provide a smooth ride even with a full cabin, and the Tahoe comes through with a gentle ride regardless of your speed. The interior remains calm and quiet even on highway busy highways, and you always feel in control despite the SUV’s size thanks to its responsive handling and braking. Even though the Expedition isn’t noisy by any means, its large frame makes it a handful to maneuver in tight parking lots. Its ride can also become noticeably turbulent over rough roads.
