The 2021 Ford Expedition vs Chevy Suburban
Posted on August 10, 2021
Large SUVs are versatile vehicles for drivers that want interior space as well as hauling capabilities. Both the 2021 Ford Expedition and the 2021 Chevy Suburban are known for their space, comfort, and sport. With so much in common, it is easy to see why potential buyers draw a comparison between the two vehicles.
Yet in a head-to-head 2021 Ford Expedition vs Chevy Suburban comparison, it is easy to see that the Ford wins out when it matters the most.
Capability
While the Chevy Suburban offers a little more horsepower than the Ford Expedition, mostly thanks to an optional (and expensive) diesel engine, it still cannot match the Expedition's performance. When properly equipped, rear-wheel drive Expedition models can tow up to 4,218kg. Four-wheel-drive models can manage up to 4,173kg, and the extended-wheelbase Max model tows up to 4,082kg.
Safety
The 2021 Ford Expedition gets the edge in the technology category as well because it offers better standard offerings than the Suburban. While the Suburban comes in at a slightly lower price (less than $2,000 difference), it does not offer anywhere near the driver-assist technology and infotainment technology that the Expedition does.
The Expedition comes standard with higher quality safety features, such as Ford's Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assist technologies. While the Suburban only offers forward collision mitigation, the Expedition features automatic emergency braking, a blind spot information system, a lane-keeping system, a rearview camera, and more.
Infotainment
In terms of infotainment, the 2021 Ford Expedition might have a slightly smaller touchscreen (8.0-inch compared to the Suburban's 10.0-inch), but it more than makes up for it in additional features. In a review of Expedition's technology offerings, it comes standard with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, as well as satellite radio, voice recognition, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and four USB ports.
Interior Comfort
The 2021 Ford Expedition is a classy vehicle, even if it is due for a mid-cycle redesign. Even so, its interior still rivals the newly renovated three-row Suburban. The Expedition offers many upscale options, including soft leather upholstery, heated seats, and second-row captain's chairs. Even on the lowest model, a power-folding third-row and 15 cupholders come standard to increase the storage space.
The Suburban never feels quite as classy as the Expedition, even when it is equipped with all the optional features. The design and materials of the Chevy are just not as high-end as what drivers will get in the Ford.
2021 Ford Expedition vs 2021 Chevy Suburban
In a final comparison, even though the 2021 Chevy Suburban brings its A-game with its new redesign, the 2021 Ford Expedition still beats it handily. The 2021 Ford Expedition is the best option for drivers looking for a regal and powerful large SUV that has space and capability without lacking in style and technology.
Bennett Dunlop Ford offers many models of the 2021 Ford Expedition SUV for drivers in Regina and across Canada that want a traditional full-size SUV that goes far beyond traditional.
