With their boat-friendly tow ratings and their cavernous cabins, you can expect a cushy, adventure-friendly daily cruise from both the 2020 Ford Expedition and Toyota Sequoia. If you’re left scratching your head about which of these full-size SUVs to choose, our Jones Ford comparison guide will help you take a closer look.
Space and Style: 2020 Ford Expedition
If you’re looking for a roomy, comfortable family hauler, the Expedition will exceed your expectations. All three rows are nicely suited to road trips, with generous legroom and cushy seating for all. Out of the four trim models, three are especially luxurious, furnishing you with high-end features like leather upholstery and stylish interior design.
With the Toyota Sequoia, you also get spacious seating for up to eight passengers. And, like the Expedition, this full-size SUV offers a range of stylish luxury features, which you’ll find on its top two trim models, the Limited and Platinum. However, with the air conditioning vents blasting in the rear rows, front passengers will be disappointed in the weak front vent action.
Tech Lineup: It’s a Tie!
Here, the two SUVs go almost pound-for-pound, keeping you connected to the outside world with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity and savvy touch-screen infotainment systems. Also, both the 2020 Ford Expedition and the Toyota Sequoia come standard with the kind of safety aids that can actively solve problems, such as automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
Max Economy: 2020 Ford Expedition
Both of these full-size SUVs treat you to impressive power, the Expedition with its 375-horsepower twin-turbo V6, and the Sequoia with its 381-horsepower V8 engine. But the Expedition is much more efficient, earning up to 19 mpg combined (17 city/23 highway mpg).
Even amongst other full-size SUVs, the Sequoia lags behind in the efficiency department. With rear-wheel drive, EPA ratings reach only 15 mpg combined (13/17 mpg).
More Fun: 2020 Ford Expedition
When it comes to weekend action, the Expedition treats you to a more rugged adventure. First of all, with optional four-wheel drive and the FX4 off-roading package, Ford’s full-size SUV is extremely capable on the trail. Second of all, this SUV can tow a bigger boat, with max tow ratings of up to 9,300 pounds.
Since the Toyota Sequoia is also a full-size SUV, it’s got some sporty capabilities of its own. For instance, you can opt for the rugged TRD Sport or TRD Pro trim model, both of which supply you with features like Bilstein dampers and Fox shocks to help you navigate the elements. The Sequoia can tow lesser boats and campers, with max tow ratings of 7,400 pounds.
The 2020 Toyota Sequoia aims to please, but in the end it’s just not as satisfying as the 2020 Ford Expedition. To see for yourself, visit us at Jones Ford. We’re proud to be your North Charleston Ford dealership!
