2020 Ford Expedition vs Chevy Tahoe

Ford Expedition vs Chevy Tahoe: Standard Engine Specs

We’ll start with a look under the hood to see what kind of power these two vehicles offer. When we observe their standard engine specs, we see that both vehicles give us high-energy engines with plenty of power.

For the Ford Expedition, the standard engine is a 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 that generates 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Compare this to the 5.3L V8 engine from the Chevy Tahoe, which produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque.

The difference in engine output is especially noticeable when we consider towing capacity. Both SUVs are built for towing, and even have an available Max Trailering Package that can help you get the most out of your vehicle. Take a look at their towing specs below, when equipped with this package:

	2020 Ford Expedition	2020 Chevy Tahoe
Two-wheel drive (2WD) towing capacity	9,300 pounds	8,600 pounds
Four-wheel drive (4WD) towing capacity	9,200 pounds	8,400 pounds

With an additional 700-800 pounds in capacity over the Tahoe, the Expedition is the SUV to pick if you have some heavy towing to do.

Ford Expedition & Chevy Tahoe Interiors

When it’s time for your next family road trip, the Ford Expedition and Chevy Tahoe have what it takes to keep you comfortable, entertained, and well-connected as you cruise down the open highway.

For example, passengers in the back seat will be so busy watching a movie on the available rear-seat entertainment system, they’ll forget to ask, “Are we there yet?” This feature is available for both the Tahoe and Expedition.

Meanwhile, front-seat riders can stay connected to their favorite smartphone apps through available Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration, all while keeping their phone safely out of their hands.

Both SUVs have three rows of seats with an 8-person seating option. When you’re packing up luggage, you may be able to pack a bit more into the Ford Expedition, based on their cargo area measurements:

	Ford Expedition	Chevy Tahoe
Cargo volume (behind first row)	104.6 cubic feet	94.7 cubic feet
Cargo volume (behind second row)	63.6 cubic feet	51.7 cubic feet
Cargo volume (behind third row)	20.9 cubic feet	15.3 cubic feet

As you can see above, the Tahoe has almost 10 cubic feet less cargo volume in total than the Expedition. This means that Chevy drivers may have to leave more behind on their next road trip than drivers in the Ford SUV.
