Strongest Engine Options: 2024 Ford Expedition
Whether you’re choosing the base engine or a stronger optional version, the Expedition supplies maximum power! Its base engine, a torque-heavy turbo V6, is stronger than the Tahoe’s base engine. Also, the Expedition offers two high-output versions of its turbo V6. The strongest option, found in the off-road-ready Timberline model, is also stronger than any of the Tahoe’s engine options.
Depending on trim model, the 2024 Expedition offers three versions of its turbo V6:
- XL STX, XLT: turbo 3.5L V6 (380 hp, 470 lb-ft)
- Timberline: turbo 3.5L V6 (440 hp, 510 lb-ft)
- Limited, King Ranch, Platinum: turbo 3.5L V6 (400 hp, 480 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
Although the Tahoe doesn’t offer quite as much strength, it's pretty brawny in its own right. Also, the Tahoe offers a unique option with its tow-friendly turbodiesel engine, combining a powerful ride with improved fuel economy. With it, the Tahoe earns up to 24 mpg combined, a pretty good figure for such a big SUV.
Like the Expedition, the Tahoe offers four-wheel drive to improve performance in off-road terrain!

- 5.3L V8 (355 horsepower, 383 pound-feet of torque)

- Turbo 3.0L inline six-cylinder diesel engine (277 hp, 460 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Front-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
