Ford Expedition vs. Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Review

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Ford Expedition and the Chevrolet Suburban 2500 are true sportscars.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Ford Expedition is most certainly more maneuverable than the Chevrolet Suburban 2500, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the flip side, keep in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Ford Expedition and the Chevrolet Suburban 2500 have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the Chevrolet Suburban 2500. The Ford has no lessons to learn as far as pickup from the Suburban 2500.

Utility
The Ford Expedition and the Chevrolet Suburban 2500 can accommodate the same number of passengers. The Chevrolet Suburban 2500 is a better choice than the Expedition with respect to transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of cargo or big pets.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the Chevrolet Suburban 2500's front cabin compared to the Ford Expedition. While the rear of the Ford provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the Chevrolet Suburban 2500, there really isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Suburban 2500 is substantially heavier than the Ford Expedition. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Chevrolet than the Ford Expedition because of its bigger tank. The Ford and the Chevrolet Suburban 2500 compete for the same parking spaces. The Chevrolet Suburban 2500's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; however, the Expedition may give a sprier feel in daily traffic.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Ford Expedition to the dealership as the Chevrolet Suburban 2500. When it comes to MSRP, the Ford Expedition doesn't cost much less than the Chevrolet Suburban 2500.

Warranty
The Chevrolet Suburban 2500 and the Ford Expedition have the same basic after-sale protection.
