Interior Comparison
The 2023 Expedition and 2023 Tahoe are full-size SUVs and, as expected, offer seating for up to eight adults. They are broadly similar in terms of interior space and cargo-carrying capacity. You can also have captain's chairs in the second row of the 2023 Expedition for a more luxurious experience. Additionally, you'll appreciate the fully flat floor that results when the second and third rows are folded to maximize cargo capacity.
The 2023 Expedition's advantage doesn't stop there. It also gives you a large 12-inch touchscreen for controlling its Sync 4-based infotainment system. The 2023 Tahoe only offers a 10.2-inch unit. What's even more exciting is that you can option an even larger, vertically oriented 15.5-inch screen on the 2023 Explorer. You can also have a 22-speaker B&O sound system and a rear-seat entertainment system. Both vehicles are Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatible across all trim levels. The Ford Sync 4 system also brings seamless over-the-air (OTA) updates.

Performance Comparison
Powertrain choices are simple on the 2023 Expedition, as you get just one. A downsized and more efficient 3.5-liter V-6 with twin turbochargers delivers 380 horsepower as standard. Still, you get 400 horsepower on the Limited trim, and ticking the Stealth Performance Package box boosts that to 440 horsepower. A 10-speed automatic transmission sends drive to the rear wheels by default, but you can select an all-wheel-drive system for better traction and off-road capability.
The 2023 Tahoe offers a choice of three engines, two of which are gasoline V-8s and one is a turbo diesel six. The gasoline V-8s come in 5.3-liter form with 355 horsepower and 6.20-liter form with 420 horsepower. The 3.0-liter turbo diesel develops 277 horsepower. A 10-speed automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive are standard, with an all-wheel-drive system available.
Safety Features Comparison
The 2023 Expedition and 2023 Tahoe offer excellent active and passive safety features. They have eight airbags, stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, and automated emergency braking as standard fitment. You can also specify adaptive cruise control if desired.
