Ford Expedition vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee Review

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ford are genuine speedsters.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Jeep is quite certainly nimbler than the Ford Expedition, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Ford Expedition's engine is considerably bigger than the Jeep Grand Cherokee's. Remember that bigger engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. Torque equals pickup, and the Ford Expedition will have picked up and gone by the time the Jeep Grand Cherokee finally gets moving. The Grand Cherokee could learn a lesson or two from the Ford Expedition when it comes to torque.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Ford over the Jeep. The Expedition is likely a better choice than the Jeep Grand Cherokee as far as transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of loot or large dogs. Towing is significantly more the Ford Expedition's forte than it is the Jeep Grand Cherokee's.

Convenience
You definitely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Jeep Grand Cherokee than with the Ford Expedition, as both offer comparable mileage ranges.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a bit more head room than the Ford Expedition, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Ford Expedition make it more spacious for your passengers than the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Dimensions
The Ford Expedition is substantially more bulky than the Jeep. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Ford Expedition than the Jeep Grand Cherokee because of its larger tank. The Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ford Expedition compete for the same parking spaces. The Jeep Grand Cherokee's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a nimbler feel in daily traffic than the Expedition.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is substantially cheaper to get to the dealership than the Ford Expedition. The Ford Expedition requires a lot of gasoline compared to the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Ford Expedition doesn't pale in comparison to the Jeep Grand Cherokee when it comes to fuel economy. In terms of MSRP, the Jeep Grand Cherokee doesn't cost much less than the Expedition.

Overview
The Expedition and the Grand Cherokee have the same basic after-sale protection.
