Description

Last year, Chevy sold more than twice as many Tahoes as Ford did Expeditions — but does that really mean it’s the better SUV? With the Expedition having undergone a full redesign for 2025 and the Tahoe receiving a slew of its own updates, the full-size 3-row SUV battle is hotter than ever. In this video, Edmunds’ Emme Hall puts the Chevy Tahoe High Country and Ford Expedition King Ranch head-to-head to find out which big ol’ SUV is best. The 2025 and 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe offer big V8s and a diesel engine, unique in the segment, along with Chevy's newest tech. But the 2025 and 2026 Ford Expedition is a newer vehicle from the ground up, with a lot more family-friendly features and powerful turbocharged engines under the hood. Whether you're looking for a large family SUV, or you want a full-size SUV to tow and haul, we've got all the details about which of these truck-based behemoths is right for you.

We ended up with both as rentals on a long family road trip last month and I have to say I’m shocked by this review because in the real world, we were 100% opposite. Us drivers were constantly fighting over the Chevy. None of us could stand how the expedition drove. It was all over the road whereas the Chevy was planted and confident. The hands-free in the expedition would yell and beep, and pulse the brakes, even with my hands on the wheel and me staring out at the road. We all were so frustrated by the system. The Chevy super cruise worked flawlessly. The Chevy had a heads up display and user-friendly controls making it easy to drive. The expedition has all these strange haptic buttons that were dangerously difficult to figure out how to use as a driver. Every single one of us hated the split tailgate in the expedition. It was always in the way when trying to reach in and just makes the process of opening and closing so much slower. One of my family members was in the market and after the trip immediately went home and bought a suburban because him and his wife couldn’t stand the expedition. All of us were so glad to get rid of it. We ended up turning it in early and exchanging it because we could not stand how awful it was on a road trip. The Chevy was hands-down, the better one in our real world experience.

Car reviewers in general are way too complacent and accepting of these ridiculous prices. I don't like to hear that $75k isn't too bad because the top trim is $90k plus

Thank you! The seating comfort in the Ford is a big win in my mind. Whether you are in the vehicle for ten minutes or ten hours comfort level matters.

THANK YOU. I love it when in a VS video the host actually says "THIS ONE is better". Watching a long video just to hear the host say "which one is better? well it's up to you" feels like a huge waste of time.
