Large vessels like the Expedition MAX and the Suburban require a lot of power to get rolling. Often, models of this stature tend to stick to these big guns. However, the Ford is ready to prove that the big dogs are just as stealthy as they are strong.
So, what powers these two SUV behemoths? The Ford comes standard with a 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine that generates up to 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque with the proper fuel. A high-output version of the same engine is available, and it boosts your drive with 440 ponies and 510 lb-ft of torque.
Although the Chevy has three engines, none are as powerful as the Ford’s. Its standard 5.3L V8 engine generates 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. When equipped with its 6.2L V8 engine, it gets close with 420 horsepower. Close, but no cigar.
The Expedition MAX takes capability to the max. Its maximum 9,000-pound towing capacity proves this. If you choose the Suburban, you’ll need to haul lighter cargo since it can only tow up to 8,300 pounds.
The sky is the limit for the Ford Expedition MAX. It was built to support your large family, haul heavy gear, and topple terrain! It goes where other large SUVs can’t, including the Chevy Suburban. How is this possible? These off-roading tools help the Expedition MAX release its wild side:
- Available Intelligent 4WD
- Best-in-class 10.6-inch ground clearance
- Terrain Management System™ with 7 drive modes
- Ford Trail Control™ and Trail 1-Pedal Drive
- Control Trac® 4WD System
Will the Suburban also fare well on the off-roads? Let’s just say that its name is indicative of its natural habitat. We’d stick with the Expedition MAX for your wildest adventures.
The Ford and the Chevy continue to go above and beyond inside. They transform their cabins into spaces you can call home.
When you’re at home, you feel at peace. Sliding into the Expedition MAX or the Suburban will provide that same warm and fuzzy feeling thanks to these standard and available creature comforts:
- Tri-zone automatic temperature control
- 8-passenger seating
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Heated steering wheel
- 8-way power driver's seat with lumbar support
Say goodbye to your favorite spot on the couch. The available 10-way power driver’s seat in either SUV is ready to take its place as your throne.
Are you ready for some me-time? Take your throne and turn your attention to the vast infotainment displays in either SUV. The Suburban delivers an 8-inch touchscreen that can be upgraded to a 10.2-inch display. The Expedition MAX goes above and beyond again by making a 12-inch center stack standard! Talk about being easy on the eyes.
Behind the wheel, your vehicle’s most vital information is presented on an 8-inch productivity screen in the Ford. The Chevy falls short again with a 4.2-inch instrument cluster display.
The Expedition MAX and the Suburban make great family cars because they have the strength and flexibility of a superhero and the comforting essence of your happy place. To seal the deal, these SUVs also have safety suites to give you peace of mind.
Ford Co-Pilot360™ and Chevy Safety Assist are the standard driver-assistance suites on the Expedition MAX and the Suburban. They’re designed to help keep you safe from Point A to Point B. These features play pivotal roles in your protection:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane-Keeping System
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps
Say hello to confident driving!
If you want an SUV that always has your back, choose the Ford. It comes standard with BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, which monitors your blind spots and other hard-to-see places as you drive or while in Reverse.
Similar features are available on the Chevy when you upgrade to a higher trim level.
You and your family deserve the most fun-inducing, dependable, and comfortable SUV possible. The Ford Expedition MAX and the Chevy Suburban are top contenders; however, the Ford’s more flexible performance, enhanced screens, and additional safety make it the ultimate winner.
