2024 Ford Expedition Timberline VS Chevy Tahoe Z71 MPG & 0-60 Test: The Best Full Size SUV Is...

[@vinnie8495]

Im a Ford guy, but the tahoe looks a little better. Id still probably choose the Timberline. Really cool vehicle. My wife has the Explorer Timberline and its great. Ya those twin turbo 3.5 ecoboost v6 are quick

[@vickymanghera1369]

3.5 EcoBoost is a rock solid engine

[@Jassman3536]

Having both GM and Ford here at the house...We preferred the Timberline hands down with the exception of the looks...The GM just looks that much better. The Ford Seats, the way it drives, room and a few options were within 3k when equipped the way we wanted. The GM felt slightly smoother and I did like the 6.2. vs the 5.3 for power. The eco boost pulls better because of the turbos.

[@Tonyr0206]

I bought a new Expedition with the Stealth package last year. I told my wife, I wish I could take the front end of a Tahoe and bolt it to the front end of the Expedition. LOL

[@CORaptorguy4]

Personally I don’t like the looks of the Tahoe, I don’t know what Chevy is doing with that front end but it just doesn’t work for me, doesn’t flow with the front fenders, etc. It also looks strange from the rear. Looks wise I prefer the expedition.

[@Tonyr0206]

I had a Tahoe and an Avalanche, both with the 5.3...and felt they both were way underpowered. I then bought a 2017 Yukon Denali with the 6.2. What a difference 70+ hp makes! LOL Too bad the Denali ended up being the biggest P.O.S. I ever owned and I traded it in after 6 months of ownership.

[@HiKielLiHi]

I have a 2015 Ford Expedition XLT ain't no tahoe seeing me...I proved it too many times already...and my truck is very reliable with ZERO issues so far

[@505fastlife6]

Yeah bro I have a 2015 king ranch expedition. These new 3.5 have like 75 more hp then ours as well.

[@derekgrace9931]

I have a 2023 Timberline and it is absolutely amazing!! I’m sure he did his 0-60 comparison on normal mode, but slap the Timberline into sport mode and it’s a different beast!!! Both of these models are exceptional, just boils down to what type of person you are…Ford or Chevy.

[@luke2400]

Excellent video. I like the noise measurement part most. The comparison of seat comfortness is interesting as well. Personally, I prefer the seats of Expedition.

[@soheilmortezaeifar8125]

I drove both of them and got the Expy Max Limited 2023 and love it. The ride is harsh but, in the mountain, and high elevation the 480lb/ft @ 2200 rpm make you happy. Never ever 8 v 6.2 can do it. Breaks are also much better than Chevy.

[@gwendolynbrown9386]

I love the look of the Chevy Tahoe. The MPG is great! Love the Video!!

[@Coyote-pj1iu]

Never understood why Ford doesn’t offer the Coyote in the expedition , it would a good match up with the 5.3 Tahoe 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sethdonnelly8655]

Why would they put the coyote motor to compete with the 5.3 when the twin turbo already destroys it lol…the 5.0 is weaker than the eco boost

[@MCNUGGETS2015]

@@sethdonnelly8655I would rather have a V8 proven engine. Then a phaser rattle problem. V6 Eco is trash 🚮 😂

[@flex_007]

Both are super but I'll go with the expedition the power and features

[@9663mu]

Damn. That 0-60 was destruction

[@giovannigiannoni6662]

Was the 0-60 is Sport for the expedition? They reported that it should be around 5.9 sec for the timberlines.

[@weluvbry]

It definitely makes a difference the elevation because I have a 2022 timberline and I can do 0 to 60 5.2 seconds

[@sunburn8640]

I’ve had 4 mustangs and wife has had one. Although I also did have a 2007 C6 Z06 in Lemans Blue… that wasn’t so much a Chevrolet as it was a world beater anyways… I’d say I’m in Camp Blue Oval for sure. Yet my wife currently drives a 21’ Tahoe LT. first year of restyle in current gen before LCI. The Tahoe just looks better on the outside and the interior feels less plastic-KEY to me.. the Ford , Timberline edition closed that gap on exterior appeal immensely. But can be remedied with some bigger rubber and shift for the bow tie. Although, I’ve never driven an expedition with a 7 sec 0-60. That’s extremely fast for a super heavy truck. 2 seconds faster than the Tahoe is every bit of significant. Let’s get that straight right now. I just like the Tahoes more premium overall feel. Even if it’s in another league slow compared to the Eco truck. The new GMC Acadia Denali and AT4 and Chevy Travers RS and Z71 are super tough mid size 3 row family haulers for sure. With prices being so outrageous I can see these doing really week with their handsome looks and engorged size

[@MegaRetr]

I’ve heard mechanics saying v6 with turbo is bad for such a big vehicle)))

[@505fastlife6]

I'm a mechanic who drives a 2015 ecoboost expedition and the engine has been solid although it is a noisy engine. I put an aftermarket high pressure fuel pump and it's a lot louder than the oem.

[@Alexander-fr1kk]

That is a horrible A/C control system on the Ford, why would they do that?

[@nicholasy2715]

can I ask your opinion, comparing 2023 Ford Expedition Timberline vs 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L V8 Summit Reserve? Which is better in terms of driving experience/handling & reliability ? I know both cars are not in the same category, but in terms of price, they are slight differences after discount. 2023 Ford Expedition Timberline is USD75,300, while 2023 Jeep GCL V8 Summit Reserve is USD 71,000 (included 5 years service package). There is also a leftover stock of zero mileage 2022 Ford Expedition Timberline selling at USD 68,200. Facing dilemma in making the right choice.

[@thebigfudge8703]

I’ve heard mechanics saying v6 with turbo is bad for such a big vehicle. V8 better in the long run. Thoughts?

[@anthonys7534]

The Ecoboost is a very proven platform now, been around since 2011. Oil changes are key to longevity. Great engines

[@SteveKirkland-h2f]

Ford ranks #1 over GMC, Chevy and Dodge, don't waste your money on Chrysler. I agree, the Chevy Tahoe does look a bit better, but I'm all in for comfort and towing... BTW JB, make up your mind...are the Ford seats soft or hard. In two of your videos, you contradicted yourself. A true reviewer doesn't make those mistakes.

[@allanw6103]

hey thanks for reviewing these big truck based suvs. not too many people comparing these off road trims prob bc they are so expensive. i would have thrown in some specs on your wagoneer also esp one with the hurricane engine. if i was going to build an overland rig i would not take either one including the new gx550 w two rows or sequoia hybrid. the zr1 diesel does have some potential. these are fine for the urban pretendos or wannabes but like you said most people wont take them off road. i dont like how the factories are specing them for off road. for one the interiors are too luxury oriented. all black int., leather, big screens, sunroofs, 2nd row captains chairs, and 3rd rows are not needed but i think they will sell alot of these anyway. i dont know much about the wagoneer yet but if i was doing an overland build i would take an expedition sxt 2row model as a base to start w regular ecoboost engine or coyote. add 1.5 inch lift w steel springs, (not air which you prob have as an added expense and fail point, but i know jeep did build a 2row wagoneer concept this past year which TFL showed) bench rear seat , no sunroof. lighter interior(to see stuff at night), cloth seats. rubber mats, skid plates, tow hooks, bigger gas tank. full size matching spare, tow hitch. keep side steps and roof rails w cross bars. some more serious folks would prob go bigger w tires like 285/70/17s. i dont mind the 265/70/18s. ford sized them right for the small lift. i saw 116t on the side which is an extra load tire i believe. 20s dont belong here on the timberline at all and will give you a harsher ride. add led lightbar. dual batteries, electronic rear locker, front limited slip. did i forget anything? oh yeah a roof top tent to top it off. simple is best and this is how you beat a lexus gx.

[@dvil51]

[@weluvbry]

lol you being above elevation definitely plays a difference because I have a timberline and I can get 0 to 60 and 5 1/2 seconds… In Ohio😂

[@jebe9337]

Magnetic ride/air ride is great until you have to repair it. Longevity wise, I’ve not seen a GM go past 60K without a need for a front end rebuild.

[@georgemendoza3615]

I’ll have to go with that expedition all day long ….. can’t stand driving around with no ventilated seats. MPG’s are a lot better. Gas prices suck . It also provides a lot more room Inside.

[@chitown38]

Do NOT I repeat do NOT buy the Chevy Tahoe!! My Nabor's rear door handles broke after 2 months. His 5.3 motor is over heating and he only has 37,000 miles. They are JUNK!!!!

[@soheilmortezaeifar8125]

Your right the reviews for Taho were horrible. My colleague had one and had lots of problem such as leaking in the cabin form the rain. GM repurchased it.

[@Moon222]

Mexican guy at work kept complaining about engine issues.

[@MattC.87]

To me the Yukon AT4 interior (like your 2500s) is miles better than the Tahoe interior. I’m also not a fan of the touch screen only that comes in the expedition. With drivers as distracted as they are today it is a lot safer to have a bottom to be able to reach down and grab instead of having to look at a screen

[@Mr504BLACKMAN]

It's exactly the same the only difference is the denali trim

[@emarte]

Because it is supposed to be. GMC is more luxurious than Chevy. That’s why GMC base models are more expensive than their Chevy counterparts.

[@Alexander-fr1kk]

I have to say as a Chevy or Ford fan you have to admit that the Tahoe is the king of full-size SUVs

[@freedomisntfree_44]

King of breaking down

Paying a monthly payment for a vehicle that is higher than my mortgage payment is insane. Why people continue to buy these ridiculously priced vehicles is beyond me unless everyone has become rich? After taxes and BS fees out the door close to $100,000 to drive a ford expedition? Never would I do that even if I could

[@georgezimmer4092]

The 5.3 and 6.2 is a rock solid engine

[@tomwujek4867]

If you delete the Active Fuel Management. Otherwise both have been known to destroy lifters.

[@roadrider04]

Come on man. No body races a full size SUV. You try to avoid gas stations and food stops. I love the Tahoe ride compared to the Expedition. Additionally, a tried and true V-8 over a V-6 twin turbo all day. Long term reliability has to go a less complicated engine. As usual, great job. I’m waiting on the 2025 Tahoe Z-71 or RST. 😂

[@jonremkus1630]

Tried and True? The 6.2, and to a lesser extent the 5.3, is a liability. My Yukon Denali has been in the shop since before Christmas for lifters, camshaft, and pushrods at 52,000 miles. Engine needs to be replaced. Neighbor had his 6.2 blow at 15,000. Before I crap on the turbo 6, I’d take a look at the number of GM V8s built in the last 3 years in the shop. I’m a lifelong GM guy, but it’s getting ridiculous.

[@nicholasy2715]

Problem in Tahoe is without auto hold brake

[@Harikarikillboy]

I’m a Ford guy but would get the Tahoe because I’m sick of the turbo 4/6 cylinder turbo Ford’s been shoving down our throat and pretending as if it’s as good as a V8. Look at the Bronco. You take an awesome vehicle and put…a 4cyl in it or an anemic 2.7l 6 in it. Really? A 2.4turbo in a full sized suv.

[@freedomisntfree_44]

Ford makes the best v8 too, would be awesome as an option on the expedition and bronco for sure. And even the raptor should have the 5.0 option

[@Kenopshi-q7c]

A turbocharged 6-cylinder can easily outperform a V8 if the transmission is tuned correctly. The Ford 3.5 V6 should be the most powerful engine among its price range, but sadly, it feels like the weakest. The transmission is tuned for comfort, causing the turbocharger to kick in too late.

[@Kenopshi-q7c]

I switch between a 3.0 V6 diesel GM, a 3.5 V6 Ford EcoBoost Expedition, a couple of 5.7 Hemis, a 5.6 V8 Nissan, and a 3.0 L6 B58B30M1 X7 every week. Ford feels the weakest indeed 😂

[@freedomisntfree_44]

@@Kenopshi-q7c feels the weakest? That’s flat out wrong 🤣 ecoboost is literally the fastest 1500 sized vehicle…

[@Kenopshi-q7c]

@@freedomisntfree_44 I agree with that. It has the most powerful engine and is the quickest 0-60 in the class. However, I’m not doing drag races with a poorly handling SUV. The only time I need the power is when merging on the highway and overtaking slower cars. The transmission is so comfort-oriented; it won’t downshift and provide enough torque when needed. It only gives you around 250 lb-ft of torque (feels like) in low RPMs.

Dude, my wife is faster than you in her Expedition Timberline. the posted test drivers that drove These can get 5.3 0-60. Anyways, he wants a fluffy cushy ride on off-road oriented vehicle besides that the timberline is plenty comfortable and as good in the mushy terrain can’t say much for that Chevy. It’s got some nice airbags.😂😂

[@LuckyMan-zr6nu]

Who cares about 0 to 60? i want to now about versatility for family and cargo measurements.
