Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Expedition offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Ford Expedition Max, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Ford Expedition and the Ford Expedition Max.

Convenience
With the Ford Expedition Max, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Ford Expedition, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Ford Expedition will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Ford Expedition Max.

Dimensions
The Ford Expedition is about the same width as the Ford Expedition Max. If you go with the Ford Expedition, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Ford Expedition Max.

Handling
The Ford Expedition has a smaller turning radius than the Ford Expedition Max, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Ford Expedition will do just as well as the Ford Expedition Max, since they have about the same towing capacity. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Ford Expedition and the Ford Expedition Max.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Ford Expedition and the Ford Expedition Max are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Ford Expedition and the Ford Expedition Max. The Ford Expedition has less cargo space than the Ford Expedition Max, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
