Introduction
The Ford Expedition, in its fourth generation of production, is a full-size SUV ready to take you and your crew on an adventure in comfort and style with towing capacity and terrain management. The new Ford Expedition is spacious, capable, and a long-time favorite for buyers of Ford SUVs.
The Chevy Tahoe is a classic full-size SUV in its fifth generation of production and a top competitor in its class. Like the Ford Expedition, the Tahoe has second- and third-row seating so that you and your passengers can comfortably fit in this powerful SUV, whether on the daily commute or on a road trip that leads to fun.
Both SUVs stand out in the full-size SUV category, so let’s take a closer look at why and what separates these two powerful vehicles.

Updates and Upgrades: 2024 Ford Expedition vs 2024 Chevy Tahoe

Each all-wheel drive (AWD) model (XLT, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum) is now equipped with the Heavy Duty Trailer Tow package, which includes front tow hooks, giving the new 2024 Ford Expedition a rugged, edgy style.
Staying connected while on the go is more important than ever before, which is why the 2024 Ford Expedition models now have USB-C charging ports in the second row for passengers.
The 2024 Chevy Tahoe is a great full-size SUV. While there may be fewer updates and upgrades to the Tahoe in 2024, it remains a top seller in its class because it has many features that Chevy drivers know and love.
Power, Performance, and Powertrain: 2024 Ford Expedition vs 2024 Chevy Tahoe
The 2024 Ford Expedition is a powerful full-size SUV that performs when you need it to, especially when you want to pull your high-performance boats and trailers packed with off-roading equipment and gear. Powered with a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine, the 2024 Ford Expedition has a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission and seven drive modes so that you can adapt your SUV, with the turn of a knob, to the road and its driving conditions.
The 2024 Ford Expedition has impressive towing power ranging from 9,000 to 9,300 pounds, varying depending on model and drivetrain (4x2 or 4x4), and with the optional Heavy Duty Trailer Tow package.
The 4x4 Ford Expedition Timberline model is off-road capable and comes with Ford Trail Control so that you can take this full-size Ford SUV off-road and drive on challenging terrain.
The 2024 Chevy Tahoe, unlike the Ford Expedition, is powered by a V8 engine. In fact, Chevy Tahoes have always had V8 engines. In 2024, Chevy Tahoe models, except the High Country trim level, come standard with a 5.3L V8 engine. The Chevy Tahoe High Country is standard with a 6.2L V8 engine, which is also an available option for the RST, Z71, and Premier trim levels.

Every Tahoe has a 10-speed automatic transmission and is 4-wheel drive (4WD).
One area where Ford is the clear winner is in the towing capacity category. The 2024 Chevy Tahoe, depending on the engine and drivetrain, has a towing capacity range of 8,200 to 8,400 pounds.
Cargo, Comfort, and Technology: 2024 Ford Expedition vs 2024 Chevy Tahoe
The 2024 Ford Expedition, winner of the Kelley Blue Book Best Buy (full-size SUV category), is spacious, comfortable, capable, and designed with technology in mind. It has legroom, storage areas, and seating for up to eight passengers, and there is plenty of cargo space behind the first, second, and third-row seats.

The optional Ford Co-Pilot 360 keeps the driver’s focus on the all-important road with BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) alerts and Trailer Coverage, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and more.
With added charging ports in the second row for passengers, there are now six USB charging ports to keep devices ready and fully charged even when you and your passengers are on the go and in a hurry.
There are multiple ways to keep passengers happy and sound with the Dual-Headrest rear seat entertainment system. With the FordPass Connect 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, you and your passengers can connect up to ten devices.
