The Chevrolet Suburban vs Ford Expedition

For those seeking a reliable, spacious, and powerful luxury SUV, look no further than the Chevrolet Suburban. This class of vehicles caters to shoppers with high demands, who ultimately value the additional space and amenities that come along with this vehicles size and power. There is a number of competition for the new year, and Chevrolet is now going strong on its 83rd year with the Chevrolet Suburban. This vehicle runs neck in neck with the Ford Expedition, but when it comes down to the wire, the Suburban is overall a more impressive option. A brief comparison will outline just why we say so.

A Commanding Presence

The first feature that we would like to note is the fact that the Chevrolet Suburban is larger than the Ford Expedition, which is important when it comes to two rivaling options. The Suburban has an overall length of 224.4” and wheelbase of 130”, while the Expedition is just 210” long and has a wheelbase of 122.5”. The Suburban also outshines the Expedition with its 31-gallon fuel tank, compared to 28 gallons on the Expedition. This additional space then of course plays into the increased interior space for drivers, passengers, and cargo.

Room to Move Around

The Suburban offers 45.3” of front legroom and 42.8” of front headroom, compared to 43.9” and 42” on the Expedition. The most noticeable size difference come we take a look at the luggage and cargo volume on both of these vehicles. The Chevrolet Suburban provides its owners with 121.7 cu.ft of luggage volume, while the Ford Expedition only offers 104.6 cu.ft. As for interior cargo volume, the Suburban measures out to 39.3 cu.ft, while the Ford Expedition only offers 20.9 cu.ft. With its seats folded, the Suburban then offers an impressive 76.7 cu.ft. of cargo volume, which is 13.1 cu.ft. more spacious than the Expedition. These are important numbers for shoppers who hold high value to the overall size of their vehicle.
