Key Takeaways
- With its much lower starting price, the 2024 Expedition offers big savings.
- Inside, the Expedition offers more head- and legroom in both the front and rear seats!
- Although both SUVs offer your choice of tech upgrades, the Expedition has the more appealing standard lineup.
- If you’re shopping for rugged power, the Sequoia has the edge, with more torque and a slightly higher tow rating than the Expedition.
Friendly Price: 2024 Ford Expedition
With its MSRP of $55,525, the 2024 Expedition can help you save a bundle on a rugged SUV. The base 2024 Sequoia’s base price is a significant hike, starting at $61,275!
Inside the three-row Expedition, you’ll find a few extra inches of front-seat head and legroom compared to the Sequoia cabin. On the other hand, the Sequoia has the wider front row, offering more space for passengers’ hips and shoulders. In the rear seats, though, the Expedition offers more passenger space in every direction!
Then again, families who travel with a ton of gear may appreciate the Sequoia’s slightly bigger cargo hold. Behind the rear seats, Toyota’s full-size SUV offers 22.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold both rear seatbacks down to create 86.9 cubic feet of maximum cargo space.
While the Expedition’s 19.3-cubic-foot cargo hold is the smaller option, the Expedition offers more maximum cargo space. Fold its rear seatbacks down to haul large items, like IKEA purchases, in up to 104.6 cubic feet of maximum space.
Besides more overall space, the Expedition also offers some style and comfort upgrades you won’t get from the Sequoia. While both SUVs offer niceties like heated front seats and leather upholstery, only the Expedition offers Ford’s Active Motion massaging front seats. You can even drive home in an Expedition cabin trimmed with genuine wood and leather!
Technology: 2024 Ford Expedition
These days, just about any new vehicle comes standard with smartphone-compatible infotainment (like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) and high-tech safety aids (like forward collision mitigation). Still, some models are better equipped than others. Thanks to its more impressive standard lineup, the Expedition has the edge here.
The Expedition’s standard infotainment setup — including the new SYNC 4 system — is the most user-friendly option. Plus, every Expedition comes standard with a big, 12-inch infotainment touchscreen, while the base Sequoia’s system comes with a measly 8-inch touchscreen.
However, if you spend a little extra, you can equip both SUVs with very similar tech features. For instance, either model is available with adaptive cruise control, wireless smartphone charging, and premium sound systems.
Powertrain Options: 2024 Toyota Sequoia
Properly equipped, both truck-style SUVs can travel off-road or tow a boat. Between the pair, though, the Sequoia delivers the strongest performance. Every trim model has the same powertrain, a torque-heavy hybrid V6. A properly equipped Sequoia can tow up to 9,520 pounds!
Here’s a quick look at the 2024 Sequoia powertrain:
- Turbo 3.4L hybrid V6 (437 hp, 538 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic
- Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
The Expedition derives its power from three versions of the same turbocharged V6. Most trim models feature the base, 380-horsepower version, but the luxurious Platinum and off-road-ready Timberline offer a little extra heft. The most powerful Expedition comes very close to surpassing the Sequoia, with 440 horses and 510 pound-feet of torque. The Expedition is also nearly as capable as the Sequoia, with tow ratings of up to 9,300 pounds!
Here’s a quick look at the Expedition’s powertrain options, depending on trim model:
- XL STX, XLT: turbo 3.5L V6 (380 hp, 470 lb-ft)
- Timberline: turbo 3.5L V6 (440 hp, 510 lb-ft)
- Limited, King Ranch, Platinum: turbo 3.5L V6 (400 hp, 480 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
The Best SUV for Your Family
While the 2024 Toyota Sequoia has the edge in the power department, the 2024 Ford Expedition supplies a strong, capable performance in its own right. And since the Expedition also delivers maximum interior comfort, a great standard tech lineup, and the lowest starting price, it’s our first choice overall!
