Looking for a full-size SUV that can handle your large family's needs? The 2024 Chevrolet Suburban and the 2024 Ford Expedition are top contenders. These three-row vehicles excel in carpooling, road trips, and cargo space, all while delivering impressive performance. Let’s dive into a Chevrolet vs. Ford comparison to see which SUV comes out on top.
Both the 2024 Chevrolet Suburban and the 2024 Ford Expedition offer three rows of seating, comfortably accommodating eight adults in most trims. However, the Suburban's LS trim features a front bench seat, allowing room for up to nine passengers—a feature the Expedition doesn’t offer.
Both SUVs can be equipped with second-row captain's chairs, replacing the bench seat with two separate seats that have individual armrests and adjustments. This configuration is particularly beneficial for taller or elderly family members, providing easier access to the third row.
In terms of storage, both vehicles excel with large glove boxes, center console compartments, and cup holders for each row. Higher trims include USB charging ports throughout the cabin. The Suburban offers a significant advantage with 41 cubic feet of trunk space with all seats in use, compared to the Expedition's 19 cubic feet. Folding down the second and third rows in the Suburban expands cargo capacity to a massive 144 cubic feet, meaning you won’t need to rent a U-Haul for large loads.
Higher trims of both models come with power-adjustable front seats with heating, heated outboard second-row seats, and dual-zone or tri-zone climate control with rear air vents. Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth® connectivity are standard across both lineups. The Suburban also includes a Wi-Fi hotspot as standard. Both vehicles can be equipped with rear-seat entertainment systems, perfect for keeping kids entertained on long trips.
The 2024 Chevrolet Suburban offers three engine options:
All engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and air suspension available. Depending on the trim, you can choose between rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. For off-road enthusiasts, the Z71 trim offers four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, extra underbody protection, and all-terrain tires.
The 2024 Ford Expedition is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, available in different power levels:
The Expedition also features a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, with four-wheel drive as an option.
Safety is paramount in both SUVs. The 2024 Chevrolet Suburban comes standard with automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and a full suite of airbags. The 2024 Ford Expedition includes many of these features but misses out on some advanced safety technologies. Both vehicles are equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems and child seat anchors for the second and third rows. Optional features include a 360-degree surround-view camera system and adaptive cruise control.
