Good news, we’ve got you covered here. Both the 2023 Ford Expedition and the 2023 GMC Yukon are both viable options when it comes to having a great amount of space. Below are just a few highlights of what to expect from these two vehicles.
Key Takeaways:
- Both vehicles have the same total over all length and width.
- Both of these are 4 wheel drive and both trailers hit 5000 lb while the Yukon takes on maximum trailering capacity at 8200 while the Expedition has 6000.
- Both SUV’s wheels are made with aluminum and the spare is made with steel.
Sizing and Space?
When looking for the bigger model, what can you expect? At first glance it does seem the Yukon has the goods on the Expedition because it has 25.5 cubic ft of cargo space which is quite larger than the Expedition’s 20.9 cubic ft. Fold down the back row of the Yukon is 72.6 cubic feet of space while the Expedition has 63.6 in of cubic space. With the upgrade in the basic model of the Expedition though, you do see more space when it comes to seating since it jumps to 8 which puts it in line with the Yukon. With this upgrade you get an independent rear axle for the 2023 Ford Expedition and 2023 Yukon Gold has a semi-floating one.
But where to compare? What are we actually looking for when it comes to the nitty gritty?
The Ford Expedition has come out being the #2 in large SUVs while the GMC still holds strong at #5, but why is the Expedition in a bit of a lead? Could it be the slightly less aggressive MSRP price or does it dive deeper than that? My bet is it goes deeper than that. The Expedition has powerful twin charged engines and the GMC has been regarded as sometimes sluggish transmission. This can be an advantage toward the Expedition. But also, with a vehicle anti-theft system that the GMC does not offer, the safety can be a higher mark that those looking to keep loved ones safe is an immediate and unwavering need.
Summary:
The 2023 Ford Expedition and the 2023 GMC Yukon both bring a variety of options to the table. But what is that you are ultimately looking for? Ford has an amazing background and GMC is nothing to sneeze at either but when you are putting out your best bet on a new SUV, you can’t honestly go wrong with either. The Expedition has the better reviews and some slamming engines which also goes easy on the wallet. To each their own, but I think I know which one I’m picking.
