Ford Expedition vs. Ford Expedition EL Review

Utility
The Ford Expedition and the Ford Expedition EL can accommodate the same number of passengers. There's no clear winner between the Expedition and the Ford Expedition EL as far as transporting cargo.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Ford Expedition and the Ford Expedition EL are legitimate sportscars.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Ford Expedition EL than the Ford Expedition because of its bigger tank. The Expedition and the Ford Expedition EL compete for the same parking spaces. The Ford Expedition's shorter wheelbase will give a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic. However, the Ford Expedition EL is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Convenience
The Expedition's fuel tank will need to be replenished more often than the unit in the Ford Expedition EL.

Cost
The Ford Expedition isn't much less costly than the Expedition EL when it comes to MSRP.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Ford Expedition and the Ford Expedition EL most certainly handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Expedition offers a bit more head room than the Ford Expedition EL, there frankly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Ford Expedition provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the Expedition EL, there frankly isn't much of a difference.

Warranty
The Expedition EL and the Ford Expedition have the same basic warranty.
