2021 Chevy Tahoe vs. Ford Expedition | Full-Size 3-Row Family SUV Comparison Test
Carlos Lago from Edmunds compares two of the biggest and most capable family SUVs on sale today. In this video, Carlos evaluates the 2021 Chevy Tahoe and the 2021 Ford Expedition, comparing pricing, interiors, cargo space, driving impressions and more. Join us for this full-size 3-row family SUV comparison test and find out which of these family haulers is the right fit for you and your lifestyle.
Redesigned for 2021, the Chevy Tahoe (and its long-wheelbase Suburban counterpart) offers the comfort, capability and convenience we’ve come to expect from a large SUV. Chevrolet upped the legroom for 2021 and added an independent rear suspension that gives the Tahoe more comfort over bumps. Inside the cabin, the Tahoe offers plenty of charging ports and a large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.
The 2021 Expedition is Edmunds’ top-ranked large SUV. The Expedition has an attractive exterior design and can be outfitted with all the features and toys you’d expect. As Ford’s largest SUV offering, the Expedition (and its long-wheelbase XL variant) has a limousine-like interior that can comfortably seat eight people. Perfect for shuffling half the soccer team to practice.
Full-size family SUVs have become all the rage over the past decade. The Ford Expedition and Chevy Tahoe are two of the most popular and top-rated full-size SUVs for families looking for that third row, extra cargo space and strong towing capabilities. But which full-size SUV is right for you and your family? We answer that question and more. It’s the 2021 Chevy Tahoe vs. the 2021 Ford Expedition in our full-size 3-row family SUV comparison test.

3.73 -> CARLOS LAGO: Hey, Carlos
Lago with Edmunds, here.
5.77 -> That's the 2021 Ford
Expedition, and that's
8.11 -> the new 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe.
10.78 -> These are the biggest,
baddest, and most capable
13.81 -> family/toy haulers you can get.
16.96 -> Inside you would expect them
to have enough room and comfort
19.69 -> for the family, enough
cargo storage and solutions
22.48 -> for all the family stuff,
on-road performance
25.3 -> and refinement so that
they drive satisfyingly,
28.09 -> and enough towing
capabilities so
29.59 -> they can carry the
toys with them, too.
31.69 -> Now in this video,
we're going to cover
33.31 -> their respective features, their
pros and cons, and at the end,
36.34 -> explain why you might
choose one over the other.
39.47 -> If you like videos like
this one, give us a like
41.69 -> and also tell us in
the comments below.
43.31 -> We really appreciate it.
44.57 -> Check out some of the links in
the description to learn more
47.07 -> about these vehicles, and also
visit Edmunds.com/SellMyCar
50.2 -> to get an instant cash offer
on your car, truck, or SUV.
54.04 -> Now each of these SUVs start at
really attractive base prices
57.85 -> in the mid $50,000
range, although
60.58 -> the average transaction
price-- or what people
62.83 -> pay at the dealership on
average-- is closer to $65,000.
67.63 -> These two, as we have them,
though, are top-of-the-line,
70.42 -> fully-loaded trim levels with
four wheel drive and all kinds
73.18 -> of other goodies, so their
as-tested prices are roughly 80
76.48 -> grand each.
77.75 -> Now beyond similarities
in pricing,
79.21 -> these two also line up with
all the other configurations
82.39 -> in terms of seating,
power, capability, interior
86.02 -> experience, and so on.
87.53 -> So let's start out by
talking about the differences
89.77 -> that you'll find
inside of each one.
95.21 -> Hopping into the Tahoe
for the first time,
96.96 -> you're greeted with a large,
generally highly-functional
100.59 -> interior that has a ton of
space and storage options.
103.65 -> The appearance-- you might
debate back and forth
106.59 -> about whether this is worth 80
grand or not on the face of it,
109.2 -> just in terms of aesthetics.
110.53 -> But in terms of
functionality, I think
112.11 -> you have a lot of
things to like, here.
113.97 -> You have options to
control everything
115.8 -> through physical buttons, voice
controls, or the touch screen,
119.52 -> as well.
120.12 -> That's nice.
120.99 -> Now one thing the
Tahoe has going
122.76 -> for it is available
nine-passenger seating,
125.7 -> and you get that on
the base LS trim level.
128.4 -> And that's the only way
you can get a front bench.
131.1 -> So if your family
requirements are
133.26 -> to replicate a clown
car experience,
135.3 -> that's the trim level
that you got to go with.
137.22 -> The rest have captain's
chairs set up like this.
140.88 -> In terms of technology features,
this generation of Tahoe
144.24 -> is newer than that
generation of Expedition,
147.27 -> so it benefits from having more
advanced stuff, essentially.
150.63 -> This screen for
example is 10.2 inches.
153.03 -> It's a big screen, and that's
standard on all Tahoes.
157.5 -> And in it you have
wireless Apple CarPlay,
159.57 -> wireless Android Auto,
wireless charging,
162.12 -> you've got USB hookups,
USB-C hookups--
164.94 -> plenty of places to
connect all your gear.
167.67 -> A lot of storage options
in this from the door
169.8 -> pocket to the center
console, but there
171.84 -> are a few weird things that
stick out with functionality.
175.35 -> This shifter, for example,
is fussy and needlessly
178.71 -> complicated, to put it bluntly.
180.27 -> It's a mixture of buttons and
levers in order to change gear.
183.54 -> And while you can
learn it and figure out
186.6 -> how to use it fluidly, it
does make a three-point turn
189.48 -> on a really busy street
needlessly stressful.
192.63 -> And while there are lots
of storage solutions,
194.55 -> one that kind of sticks out
weirdly is this guy right here.
197.67 -> It's a large, deep pocket
that we couldn't really
200.34 -> figure out a use for.
201.48 -> And so we put a bag
of Skittles in there,
203.71 -> so that's our de facto
Skittles holder now.
206.37 -> And lastly, the
center console is
208.77 -> fairly deep in terms of
storage, but it's very big,
211.32 -> so you might be wondering
what's going on here.
213.28 -> Well, it actually
slides back, like so.
218.01 -> And that's good if you want
to put a handbag right here,
221.01 -> because you can still slide
this part forward and use
223.65 -> that as your arm rest.
224.58 -> This position also gives
the second row access
226.74 -> those cup holders, and you
get more storage down here.
230.43 -> This is a complicated,
large solution, though,
233.4 -> to interior storage,
and you can't help
235.02 -> but wonder if there was a way to
design this without a motorized
238.2 -> section--
238.78 -> if there was a way to
maintain the storage
240.67 -> abilities that you have here.
242.22 -> Overall, though, this is a
generally pleasing and really
245.34 -> functional interior
that should satisfy
247.71 -> the needs of most families.
249.69 -> The front row of this
Expedition makes a really nice
251.96 -> first appearance, although
there are some trade-offs
254.13 -> versus the Tahoe.
255.9 -> For example, the layout
appears to be a little dated,
259.8 -> mostly because this
screen is smaller
262.14 -> than what you get in the Tahoe.
263.64 -> But in my view, the
appearance of the materials
267.21 -> are a bit nicer, specifically
the leather and the wood
270.9 -> material in the center console.
272.73 -> These are massive
SUVs, so both of them
274.74 -> have a ton of space
in the front row.
276.36 -> That's not really a
big concern, here.
278.25 -> But you'll notice that,
again, this screen
280.17 -> is just older in
appearance versus what
282.63 -> you get in the Tahoe.
283.81 -> It's still supports
Apple CarPlay,
285.33 -> it still supports Android Auto,
but both have to be wired.
288.03 -> But you do get wireless charging
underneath this area here,
291.27 -> and modern USB hookups like
USB, the traditional kind,
294.18 -> and USB-C, as well.
296.07 -> Storage is straightforward
and very, very generous.
299.59 -> You have a similar front console
setup with a storage area
302.01 -> here, cup holders here, and a
big, deep storage area here.
305.35 -> But there are fewer, which
you might call gimmicks,
308.28 -> inside this front row.
309.63 -> For example, the shifter--
311.89 -> it's funny to say
this is not a gimmick,
313.56 -> because it seemed like it
was when it first came out.
315.77 -> But it's a wheel instead of the
Tahoe's button-toggle setup.
318.96 -> And although this is
still not preferable
322.11 -> versus a shifter to my use in
the way I like to use SUVs,
326.61 -> this is certainly easier than
the Tahoe's shifter design.
330.27 -> The console for storage
is just the console.
332.63 -> It doesn't move around.
333.67 -> It doesn't slide.
334.38 -> So there's less configurations,
but the space is generous.
338.43 -> Overall, this is a
more simple interior,
342.3 -> less stuff and a
little bit dated,
345.28 -> but that might be more
functional to some shoppers.
351.14 -> Hopping into the second
row of the Tahoe,
353.42 -> you're going to
find-- guess what?
354.99 -> Generous interior space.
356.45 -> That's going to be a recurring
theme for both of these SUVs.
359.65 -> The Tahoe, like
the Expedition, is
361.07 -> available with the
second row bench seat.
362.78 -> This one has the
captain's chairs.
364.76 -> And in terms of
interior roominess,
367.16 -> there's plenty of
shoulder room and leg
368.81 -> room for people of all sizes.
370.52 -> Headroom in the Tahoe
is a little bit less
372.8 -> than the Expedition,
especially with this sunroof.
375.53 -> So if you're taller
than me at 5' 10",
377.25 -> or have people who are
sitting in the second row
379.25 -> who are taller than 5' 10",
that might be an issue.
382.28 -> With regard to
seat adjustments, I
384.53 -> can slide the second
row forward or back
386.3 -> to change the leg room I have.
387.8 -> And I can also recline the seat
to make things a little bit
390.5 -> more comfortable for me, too.
391.91 -> That's all nice, well, and good.
393.8 -> There is no center
console here, but I
395.6 -> do have a split-level door
with additional storage there
398.84 -> and a map pocket up
front, of course.
401.18 -> The center console has a
couple of different hookups
403.52 -> for different devices.
404.66 -> You've got HDMI-in, USB-C, as
well, and a 120 volt outlet.
408.69 -> That's great,
because it all ties
410.06 -> in with this optional rear-seat
entertainment display, which
412.85 -> can receive the sources that
you plug in through those inputs
415.82 -> and it goes from different-- you
can plug in different sources
418.55 -> to left and right, or driver
and passenger side monitors.
421.64 -> That's great if you want to
bring along a Nintendo Switch
424.01 -> and have the second row enjoy
using that while on the road
426.6 -> trip.
427.1 -> You can also use this screen
to suggest navigation prompts
429.95 -> to the front.
430.49 -> That's a pretty cool idea.
432.38 -> So for the second
row in the Tahoe,
434.3 -> there's generally really good
comfort, pretty good space,
437.75 -> and a lot of neat technology
things to go for it here, too.
443.24 -> Getting in the second row of
the Expedition-- guess what?
446 -> A lot of space in here.
447.06 -> These are big SUVs with
plenty of room for front
449.27 -> and second row occupants.
451.1 -> This Expedition obviously has
the captain's chair set up,
454.13 -> which gives you a nice,
cozy armrest to get comfy.
456.65 -> I can adjust the seat fore-aft
for additional or less leg
460.72 -> room, depending
on how much I like
462.14 -> the people in the third row.
463.25 -> I can also recline the
seat just like the Tahoe,
465.29 -> as well, to make things a
little bit more comfortable.
468.08 -> This Expedition was not equipped
with the optional rear headrest
472.22 -> entertainment system that is
available on this that is also
474.78 -> available on the Tahoe,
but we'll skip over that
476.78 -> now because we don't have it
in front of us to talk about.
478.88 -> In terms of
entertainment options,
480.41 -> though, you do have USB.
481.82 -> You have USB-C hookups,
you have a 120 volt outlet,
485.21 -> and you've got a 12 volt port,
as well, for power and device
488.93 -> connectivity.
490.16 -> From back here, rear
passengers, just like the Tahoe,
492.41 -> can adjust the climate settings.
493.79 -> But you also have
the ability, here,
495.29 -> to play with the audio
settings for the front row,
498.05 -> much to the likely annoyance
of the people in the first row.
501.05 -> But overall, this is a
comfortable, spacious place
503.99 -> to be that should get very few
complaints from the passengers.
509.42 -> Now I'm going to
show you what it
510.79 -> takes to get in the third row of
the Tahoe by dropping the seat
514.09 -> and climbing in myself.
515.11 -> So pull this lever twice,
it flips up out of the way,
518.78 -> and you climb in.
524.97 -> And then John is
going to shut the door
526.59 -> and move the seat
back to a position
528.24 -> that people would
actually sit at.
531.51 -> And as you can see,
space is OK back here.
534.54 -> My knees are touching
the seat back,
536.22 -> but third rows are generally
designed and used for kids.
539.4 -> So I'm an average size
adult and I fit in here.
542.22 -> That's fine for
me, but that means
544.35 -> it's going to plenty of
room for normal-sized kids.
546.69 -> Also a USB-C port and a cup
holder back here, as well.
550.02 -> To get out, there's
a button on the side
551.88 -> that I'm going to press to
drop the seat to that position,
554.65 -> and then I'll pull
this to flip it up,
556.23 -> and then I'm free to get out
as soon as mom opens the door.
560.32 -> Now I'm going to get in the
third row of the Expedition.
562.65 -> Instead of the seat flipping
down flat and lifting up,
564.96 -> instead the seat
actually moves forward
567.69 -> and slides up like that.
568.92 -> Just kind of a
difference in process.
571.41 -> Once I get it back in
place, I don't need help
574.28 -> from our lovely assistant
because the seat goes back
576.45 -> to its normal position.
577.98 -> I have a pretty decent
amount of space back here,
580.83 -> similar to that of the Tahoe.
582.54 -> Again, third rows are
primarily used by kids, so not
585.27 -> too big of an issue.
586.33 -> But if you do have to fit
a larger person back here,
588.87 -> they're going to appreciate
that the third row reclines.
592.17 -> Now they might hit their
head on the back here,
594.6 -> but it's going to make
things a little bit more
596.64 -> comfortable for them.
597.62 -> In terms of power outputs,
you have the older kind
599.7 -> of USB hookups back here,
as well as a 12 volt power
602.49 -> outlet over my right shoulder.
621.15 -> Looking at the
Tahoe's cargo area,
623.37 -> per row, on paper,
when it comes to specs,
625.62 -> you have more storage space
than you do in the Exhibition
628.65 -> by anywhere between 5 to 15
cubic feet, approximately
632.64 -> speaking.
633.36 -> When you look at the
space, it actually
634.98 -> doesn't look that significant,
but there is more here.
638.13 -> Underneath this floor you
have kind of a shallow area
640.59 -> to hide additional equipment.
642.76 -> And then you have a 120 volt
outlet underneath this flap,
646.29 -> here.
646.95 -> Let's drop all the
seat rows so you
649.14 -> can see what that looks like.
650.5 -> The third row, you can only
drop one seat at a time,
654.69 -> but they do fall pretty quickly.
657.58 -> The second row drops
very quickly, as well,
660.78 -> and you end up with a
large, generally flat area
663.6 -> for whatever you want to haul.
667.84 -> With the Expedition, you
have less cargo volume
670.3 -> on paper versus the
Tahoe, but there
672.04 -> are some nifty tricks in here
that we'll talk about later.
674.86 -> Underneath this area,
you have a storage well
677.83 -> that is slightly deeper than
the Tahoe, but half as wide.
681.17 -> So the space-- whether
you get any more or not
683.56 -> is kind of debatable.
685 -> Dropping the seats-- one
button press to drop.
688.03 -> They are motorized, but they
do take longer than the Tahoe.
693.62 -> There's also no 120
volt outlet back here,
696.86 -> but there is a 12 volt.
Those drop down very quick.
701.52 -> The really nifty thing is
back related to this thing.
705.95 -> This flips in a couple
of different ways
708.2 -> to do some neat tricks.
712.25 -> Those drop down,
that rests in here,
714.89 -> and you have a
cargo shelf that's
716.93 -> great when the third row
is up, because let's say
719.12 -> you have a lot of short
items that need to be stored
721.49 -> and you have a lot of people
that you want to carry.
723.66 -> You've doubled the amount of
space that you have to offer.
726.44 -> The other neat thing this
does is act as a barrier.
731.75 -> So if you have a
bunch of stuff in here
733.37 -> that's going to roll
around, when you've parked,
735.26 -> open this up, this is going to
prevent it from falling out.
737.72 -> So less cargo space on paper,
but a really neat tray system
741.83 -> that almost balances that out.
746.88 -> Let's talk about towing.
747.96 -> Now, as always, max
tow ratings vary
750.69 -> depending on the configuration
and options of your vehicle.
753.72 -> In the case of
these SUVs, each one
755.97 -> offers a tow package
that obviously improves
758.55 -> their capabilities, and it does
so with an integrated trailer
761.16 -> brake controller, an
upgraded radiator, a couple
763.71 -> other things, as well as driver
aids specifically for towing.
767.79 -> Now with that tow
package equipped,
769.47 -> the Expedition has a
higher max tow rating
772.05 -> than any Tahoe with its tow
package equipped-- somewhere
774.96 -> between 800 to 1,000 pounds.
777.72 -> So long story short,
with a tow package,
779.97 -> Expedition has more
bragging rights
781.86 -> when it comes to max towing.
785.47 -> Let's talk engines.
786.46 -> With the Expedition,
your only choice
788.62 -> is a twin-turbo 3
and 1/2 liter V6,
790.84 -> but it comes with two
different power outputs.
793 -> At the highest trim level-- the
platinum, like we have here--
795.55 -> it's 400 horsepower.
796.81 -> But all of their Expeditions
have 375 horsepower.
800.38 -> The Tahoe has more engine
options available-- two V8s
804.13 -> and 3-liter turbo
diesel 6 cylinder.
806.56 -> But there are limitations
on which trim level
808.93 -> you can get which engine with.
810.32 -> For example, the 6.2-liter
V8, which is the bigger,
813.08 -> more powerful V8 of the two,
is only available in the High
816.37 -> Country trim that we have here.
818.32 -> Also, you can't get
the turbo diesel
820.15 -> with the Z71 off-road
trim, because the engine
822.73 -> hangs too low.
824.26 -> Most Tahoes will have a
5.3-liter V8 that makes 355
828.58 -> horsepower, and on paper, that's
certainly less than what you
831.73 -> get with any engine
in the Expedition.
834.1 -> Now as for fuel
economy, the Expedition
836.5 -> is rated at 19 MPG combined,
regardless of configuration.
840.58 -> For comparison, the Tahoe
with the 5.3-liter V8,
843.34 -> the more comparable engine,
it's rated at 18 MPG combined,
846.94 -> also regardless
of configuration.
849.25 -> In our experience, it
is harder to achieve
851.98 -> that EPA figure in
the Ford Expedition
854.53 -> than it is to achieve
that figure in a Tahoe,
857.8 -> so that one MPG difference
really doesn't matter.
861.49 -> If you want the most
fuel economy you can get,
863.74 -> though, you want the
turbo diesel in the Tahoe
866.17 -> because that's rated at
either 22 or 24 MPG combined,
869.57 -> depending on if you
get four-wheel-drive
871.24 -> or two-wheel-drive.
876.47 -> When it comes to
driving the Expedition,
878.15 -> the biggest, most
clearest advantage
880.22 -> this has over the
Tahoe is the engine.
883.25 -> Listen to this.
886.26 -> Actually, maybe not listen.
887.74 -> But if you can sense that
acceleration, it's very strong
892.89 -> and it feels very good.
895.06 -> That is, of course, when
you've matted the gas pedal.
897.27 -> When you're driving
around normally,
899.13 -> this engine feels like it has
more power at lower engine
902.82 -> speeds, and the shifts
feel-- with that added power,
905.4 -> they feel a bit more smooth.
906.57 -> So this thing, at lower
speeds, is both more smooth
910.74 -> and feels more powerful, too,
and that's a nice advantage
913.86 -> to have.
914.55 -> Of course, you're
lacking a V8 sound track,
916.89 -> but when it comes to that
sensation of acceleration,
919.2 -> this smoothness
and this power I'd
920.79 -> happily take versus the Tahoe.
923.55 -> The other thing that
I like about driving
925.26 -> this Expedition is the
visibility, at least
927.96 -> the forward visibility, seems
to be a bit better, as well.
931.44 -> Whether it actually is
or not is up for debate.
934.51 -> But from what I perceive
from the driver's seat,
937.08 -> this dash appears to be
lower and shorter in length,
940.14 -> so that gives me a better
command over the road in front
943.44 -> of me.
944 -> One thing I like that
the Expedition does,
945.75 -> as well, is that I can't lower
the third row from the driver's
949.68 -> seat but I can
drop the headrest,
951.39 -> and that's going to
clear up my rear view
953.7 -> mirror from the obstructions
that the headrest normally
956.61 -> have.
958.02 -> The visibility seems stronger
from the driver's seat
960.42 -> of the Expedition.
961.17 -> And that's important,
because the exterior camera
963.21 -> system in this isn't
as robust or as high
965.91 -> resolution as what
you get in the Tahoe.
967.59 -> It's functional, sure.
968.55 -> It still tells you
everything you need to know,
970.51 -> but it's just not as
nice as the Tahoe's.
973.14 -> That gets back to this screen,
and I'm looking forward
975.39 -> to the day that
Ford adds the larger
977.79 -> screen that we've seen in the
new F-150 to the Expedition.
981.09 -> Overall, though, this is a
very easy, large SUV to drive,
985.65 -> easy to maintain in your lane,
and the power from that turbo
988.44 -> V6 is really nice to explore.
991.63 -> Granted I'm driving
the high-end Expedition
993.42 -> with the most powerful
V6 you can get, of course
996.21 -> it's going to feel good.
997.3 -> But it is a nicer
offering than what
999 -> you get in the Tahoe with
regard to power delivery
1002.42 -> and how that power feels.
1003.94 -> That seems to be
the biggest strength
1005.48 -> of this SUV on the road.
1010.8 -> The Expedition has the nicer
feeling power train around
1014.01 -> town, but you've got to love
the sound of a 6.2-liter V8.
1021.02 -> That's just satisfying.
1022.94 -> The Tahoe's advantage
over the Expedition
1026.18 -> is definitely ride
handling and comfort.
1030.57 -> This is a smoother, softer ride
overall versus the Expedition,
1034.76 -> with less vibration, less ride
frequency coming in and shaking
1038.24 -> things around.
1039.47 -> One of the key differences
between these two
1041.54 -> is how they option
their suspension.
1044.45 -> While both these SUVs are
available with adaptive dampers
1047.54 -> on most versions, the
Tahoe goes a step further
1050.33 -> by offering air springs on
both the Z71 and High-Country
1054.29 -> trim levels.
1055.37 -> These air springs further
improve ride quality
1057.77 -> and have benefits like
being able to lower
1059.78 -> the Tahoe for better
aerodynamics or easier access,
1062.63 -> or lift it up for
improved ground clearance.
1065.54 -> In total, though, this makes
for a more comfortable ride
1068.36 -> in the Tahoe.
1070.1 -> And that also relates
to seat comfort.
1072.51 -> When you hop in
the Expedition, you
1073.97 -> find that the seats
are very soft.
1075.59 -> When you hop in the Tahoe, you
find the seats are very firm.
1078.56 -> That would make you think that
the Expedition seats are more
1081.14 -> comfortable, but the longer
you ride in the Expedition,
1083.06 -> you realize that that
softness helps balance
1084.8 -> the additional
bumps from the ride,
1086.26 -> whereas the firmness
in this Tahoe
1088.19 -> feels less comfortable
at first, but you
1090.35 -> realize it works over time.
1092.3 -> How that will show
up to you, you really
1093.98 -> need to sit in the seats
to determine for yourself.
1096.59 -> But that's been my experience.
1099.29 -> I like that the Tahoe
I can raise and lower
1101.57 -> the third rows when I'm stopped
with these buttons up here.
1104.96 -> I can't drop the headrests
individually, though.
1107.55 -> Another thing you notice
driving the two back-to-back
1109.76 -> is that the Tahoe has a
seemingly harder front view
1113.81 -> to look out of.
1114.56 -> Part of that has to do with
the height of the dash,
1116.39 -> or what you perceive to
be the height of the dash,
1118.09 -> and also the length of the dash.
1119.66 -> The front view doesn't seem to
be as spacious or as forgiving
1123.29 -> as it does in the Expedition.
1125 -> On the contrary, you have a more
sophisticated exterior camera
1128.81 -> system available in the Tahoe--
1130.59 -> higher resolution,
more angles, and that
1132.26 -> gives you plenty of
clearance when you're
1133.97 -> navigating tight parking lots.
1135.98 -> On top of that, to me, the
ride and handling of the Tahoe
1138.62 -> also makes this an easier
vehicle to maintain in its lane
1142.25 -> when you're driving on normal
city streets or on the freeway.
1145.29 -> And that's an
important attribute
1146.66 -> to have when you're talking
about SUVs this large.
1149.99 -> So it might be a
push between the two
1151.64 -> when it comes visibility and
overall driving experience.
1154.88 -> Expedition has a
nicer engine, Tahoe
1156.86 -> has a nicer ride,
steering, and handling,
1158.57 -> and comfort really
depends on what
1160.49 -> you seek out of your seats.
1163.3 -> I'll just say I
also like the fact
1164.72 -> that this Tahoe has
a head-up display.
1166.58 -> I'm a big fan of those.
1168.31 -> I wish more cards had them.
1172.82 -> So which one of these
SUVs should you get?
1174.57 -> Well, in our rankings,
these are the two best
1177.06 -> in the full-size SUV
segment, but the Expedition
1179.91 -> has a slight edge.
1181.62 -> It's so close, though,
that in reality, there
1183.57 -> are plenty of reasons
why you might choose one
1185.52 -> over the other.
1186.55 -> Let's start with
the Chevy Tahoe.
1188.16 -> It has more engines available--
two V8s and a turbo diesel.
1191.34 -> It rides and handles
better, and the interior
1193.65 -> has more space in
terms of cubic feet.
1196.56 -> You also get newer and more
modern technology appointments
1199.59 -> because it's a newer
generation vehicle.
1202.47 -> The Expedition is
a bit more simple,
1204.3 -> and that can be more
appealing to some people.
1206.28 -> There's fewer power
trains available,
1207.9 -> and what is there is actually
really good-- stronger
1210.07 -> than most of the V8
offerings in the Tahoe.
1213.03 -> You have a more functional
interior with less--
1215.52 -> let's say, gimmickry--
and ultimately,
1217.89 -> a higher tow rating.
