2024 Ford Expedition vs. 2024 Chevy Tahoe

If you’re looking for a large, powerful, and comfortable SUV, you might be interested in the 2024 Ford Expedition and the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe. Both of these vehicles offer spacious interiors, advanced technology, and impressive performance. But which one is better for your needs and preferences? To help you have a clear idea of which SUV suits you best, our team at Riverside Ford in Macon, Georgia, has compared the two models in terms of engine specs, fuel economy, towing capacity, cargo space, and safety.

Engine and Performance

The 2024 Ford Expedition is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine that delivers impressive performance. The base engine generates 380 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, while higher trims boost the output to 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. Drivers have praised the Expedition’s engine for its strong acceleration and linear power delivery, making it a joy to drive as you pick up speed.

Meanwhile, the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe offers a range of engine options to choose from. The base engine is a smooth 355-horsepower V-8, with a larger 420-horsepower V-8 option available. If you’re looking for better fuel economy, the turbocharged Duramax diesel engine provides more thrift than the two gas V-8 engines. The Tahoe’s engines are also known for their smooth operation and ample power, providing you with a comfortable and responsive driving experience.

Fuel Economy

When it comes to fuel economy, the 2024 Ford Expedition and 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe offer different performances. The Expedition, equipped with two-wheel drive and a six-cylinder, 3.5-liter engine, boasts a combined mpg of 19 (17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway). If you opt for the four-wheel-drive model, the combined mpg drops slightly to 18, with 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.

In contrast, the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe comes with two-wheel drive and an eight-cylinder, 5.3-liter engine and has a combined mpg of 17, with 15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. Its four-wheel-drive model has the same combined mpg but drops to 14 mpg city and 18 mpg highway. Based on these EPA ratings, the new Ford Expedition has a slight advantage over the Chevrolet Tahoe in fuel economy.

Towing Capacity

The 2024 Ford Expedition and the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe are both impressive vehicles when it comes to towing capacity, but there are notable distinctions between them.

The 2024 Ford Expedition boasts a maximum towing capacity of up to 9,300 pounds when properly equipped. This capacity varies based on several factors, such as engine size, drivetrain, and if it has a towing package. For instance, a 2024 Ford Expedition that comes with a 3.15 or 3.31 axle ratio can tow up to 6,000 pounds, whereas a 2024 Ford Expedition two-wheel drive with a 3.73 axle ratio and a trailer tow package can tow up to 9,300 pounds.

In contrast, the 2024 Tahoe has a towing capability of 7,600 pounds to 8,400 pounds depending on the engine size, whether it’s two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, and if a tow package is installed. For instance, a 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe with two-wheel drive and a 5.3-liter engine can pull 7,900 pounds without the trailering package and 8,400 pounds with the trailering package.

If you opt for a 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe with four-wheel drive and a 6.2-liter engine, you can pull 7,600 pounds without the trailering package and up to 8,100 pounds with the trailering package.

So, while both vehicles offer substantial towing capacities, you’ll generally be able to tow more weight with the 2024 Ford Expedition than with the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe.

Cargo Space

If you’re in the market for a large SUV, cargo space is likely a top priority. The 2024 Ford Expedition offers an impressive amount of cargo space, with 19.3 to 20.9 cubic feet of space behind the third row, 57.5 to 63.6 cubic feet of room behind the second row, and 104.6 cubic feet with all rear seats folded down.

Opting for the long-wheelbase Expedition Max gets you even more space, with 73.3 to 79.6 cubic feet of room behind the second row, 34.3 to 36 cubic feet behind the third row, and 121.5 cubic feet with both rear rows folded down.

On the other hand, the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe also provides ample cargo space. It offers 25.5 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, 72.6 cubic feet behind the middle seats, and 122.9 cubic feet behind the front seats. This makes the Tahoe competitive with the Expedition in terms of cargo space. However, it’s important to note that the exact cargo space can vary depending on the specific model and configuration of the vehicle.

Safety

The 2024 Ford Expedition and the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe are both equipped with a variety of safety features, but there are some differences between the two.

The Ford Expedition’s safety features include anti-lock brakes, stability control, front-impact air bags for the driver and passenger, side-impact air bags for the front seats, overhead air bags for side collision or rollover protection, and a security system. Additionally, it offers standard forward collision warning, automated emergency braking, and available lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist. There’s also a BlueCruise 1.0 hands-free driving technology that lets you enjoy a more stress-free driving experience on the open road.

The 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe also comes with anti-lock brakes, stability control, front-impact air bags, side-impact air bags, overhead air bags, and a security system. However, it goes a step further by offering standard Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of six advanced safety and driver-assistance features, including forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, and front pedestrian braking.

Furthermore, the Tahoe has added front and rear park assist and lane-keeping assist with lane departure warning as standard features on all trims. Higher trims come with Super Cruise driver assistance technology that allows for hands-free driving on compatible roads.
