Coming astonishingly close in starting price, the 2021 Ford Expedition and 2021 Chevy Tahoe are certainly priced to compete. We can’t say the same for what you get for your investment.
The Chevy Tahoe has standard automatic emergency braking, but only the 2021 Ford Expedition has automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic high beams built into the starting price. Other features optional on the 2021 Ford Expedition include leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, heated/ventilated front seats, retractable running boards, active noise cancellation, a dual-headrest rear-seat entertainment system, and optional all-wheel drive, which includes a terrain-management system.
The Tahoe has a cargo volume of 25.5 cubic feet, but if heaps of cargo space is what you’re after, we suggest taking a look at the Expedition MAX. The extended-wheelbase version of the Ford SUV offers 36.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third-row seats, or 121.4 cubic feet with the back two rows folded.
