The numbers say it all in the competition between the 2021 Ford Expedition and the 2021 Nissan Armada. Not only is the Ford Expedition notably more fuel-efficient, but it also offers more interior space and delivers a more comfortable ride from its independent rear suspension.
With 171.9 cubic feet of passenger space, the cabin of the 2021 Ford Expedition is tailor-made for family life. The difference is most notable in the third-row seats, where the Expedition offers 36.1 inches of legroom. In the Armada, rear-seat legroom measures just 28.4 inches. That’s 7.7 inches more space for knees and feet to make themselves at home. Follow that with 20.9 cubic feet of cargo space and you have the ideal daily driver for suburban bliss.
The Expedition’s 3.5-liter V6 is torquier than the Armada’s engine and lends to an impressive tow rating of up to 9,300 pounds. Power routes through a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission.
