In this Edmunds review, we pit the Ford Expedition against the Jeep Grand Wagoneer to see which of these massive 3-row SUVs deserves your hard-earned cash. First up, the Ford Expedition. Our Platinum tester proves that Ford knows exactly what buyers want in a full-size SUV. It has an incredibly comfortable, settled ride that almost feels more Lincoln than Ford, and it’s packed with well-executed tech like Ford's BlueCruise hands-free driving system. The spacious interior is well thought out, too, offering loads of storage and a user-friendly dual-screen setup that retains important physical controls. Plus, with a robust turbocharged six-cylinder engine, this new Ford Expedition has plenty of towing power. On the other side, the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer offers a cavernous interior with arguably the best third-row experience in the class, thanks to massive rear windows and excellent headroom and legroom. It’s also a towing powerhouse, capable of hauling up to 10,000 pounds. However, despite its luxurious intentions, the Grand Wagoneer falls short in a few key areas. The cabin relies heavily on smudge-prone gloss black plastics, the infotainment software feels laggy, and its engine actually makes significantly less power this year after Jeep merged the model lines. Out on the road, the Jeep feels noticeably floatier and more cumbersome than its Ford rival. So, which is the better buy? While the Grand Wagoneer is a solid pick if maximum towing capacity and third-row comfort are your top priorities, the Ford Expedition takes the crown in this SUV review. It delivers a much more polished driving experience, superior value, and better in-cabin technology, making it the definitive winner.

I wish Ford would let you option the massage seats with the 22 inch wheels like my '21 Platinum has, instead of packaging them with the 24's. Makes no sense. People who value massage seats also value the smoothest ride.

The high HP engine is not a different tune, its a different motor. Different pistons, turbos and fueling system etc.

The Grand Wagoneer is a better value than ever before, and the Expedition has never been this good. Which would you pick? Or does something like the Nissan Armada, Chevy Tahoe or Toyota Sequoia suit your needs better?

The GW still competes with the Navigator and Escalade. You just need the higher trims.
