Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Suburban offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Ford Expedition, with comparable head- and legroom. The Chevrolet Suburban offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Ford Expedition, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Suburban as you will with the Ford Expedition, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Chevrolet Suburban or the Ford Expedition, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Suburban is a little wider than the Ford Expedition, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the Chevrolet Suburban, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Ford Expedition.

Handling
The Chevrolet Suburban has a larger turning radius than the Ford Expedition, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Chevrolet Suburban is clearly the choice over the Ford Expedition for pulling heavy loads. The Chevrolet Suburban has a little less horsepower than the Ford Expedition.

Powertrain
The Chevrolet Suburban has much lower torque than the Ford Expedition, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Chevrolet Suburban has less seating than the Ford Expedition, making the Ford Expedition the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. With the Chevrolet Suburban, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Ford Expedition.
