The responsive 6-speed automatic transmission also compliments the engine behavior by binding with it in a flawless manner and further amplifies the smooth power delivery. The powertrain of the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV is quick and responsive both in the cities and highways. The independent rear suspension system of the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV ensures better handling and ride quality.

Models	Ford Expedition	Nissan Armada	Chevrolet Tahoe	Toyota Sequoia
MSRP	$47,125	$44,900	$47,215	$45,560
Engine	3.5L 6 cyl	5.6L DOHC 32V Endurance V8	5.3L EcoTec3 V8	5.7L i-Force V8 DOHC
Transmission	6-speed Automatic	7-speed automatic	6-speed automatic	6-speed automatic

Torque	420 lb-ft @ 2500 rpm	394 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm	383 lb-ft @ 4100 rpm	401 lb-ft @ 3600 rpm

The Nissan Armada houses the engine with the most horsepower output of 390 hp, which is followed by the Toyota Sequoia with 381 horsepower. The 2017 Ford Expedition SUV comes in as third, in terms of power output when compared to its rivals. It outperforms all the other three cars in terms of torque output with 420 lb-ft of torque, that too at a much earlier stage of 2500rpm. Followed by Toyota and Nissan with 401 and 394 lb-ft of torque, respectively. The Chevrolet Tahoe is the weakest performer, with the least engine performance of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque.

2017 Ford Expedition Acceleration Performance

The effortless powertrain of the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV is quick and responsive both in the cities and highways. The 6-speed automatic transmission is well programmed and shifts seamlessly in order to achieve a steady and uniform acceleration. When it comes to the 0-60 mph time, it is the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV that manages to do it the quickest – in just 6.4 seconds, which is quite impressive for a gigantic crossover.

Even the Nissan Armada doesn’t fail to impress with its initial acceleration and falls behind the Ford by a millisecond to reach the 0-60 mph mark. The Toyota Sequoia manages to do the 0-60 mph time in 6.7 seconds, while the Chevrolet Tahoe becomes the slowest in going from 0 to 60 mph and takes 7 seconds to do it.

Models	Ford Expedition	Nissan Armada	Chevrolet Tahoe	Toyota Sequoia
0-60 MPH	6.4 sec	6.5 sec	7.0 sec	6.7 sec
Quarter mile	15.4 sec	15.1 sec	15.3 sec	15.4 sec
Engine	3.5 L	5.6L	5.3L	5.7L
Emission (Tons/yr of CO2 Emissions @ 15K mi/year)	8.8	11.0	9.2	11.8

In the quarter-mile run, things take a turn as the Nissan jumps to the top and covers the distance in just 15.1 seconds after a second-best start. Quite surprisingly, the Chevrolet Tahoe recovers impressively from its slowest start by reaching the quarter-mile point in 15.3 seconds. On the other hand, the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV and the Toyota Sequoia end up being the last to cover the distance in a very close timing of 15.4 seconds. The 2017 Ford Expedition SUV enjoys the reputation of being the least emitting vehicle, while the Toyota is seen to have the highest emissions in the table.

2017 Ford Expedition Handling and Steering

The independent rear suspension system of the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV is an important feature that provides better handling and ride quality. The adjustable firmness of the adaptive dampers works together to isolate road impacts and maintains a smooth cabin experience. Unlike the passengers' composed experience, the driver struggles because of the deadened steering feel and its ponderous handling abilities.

2017 Ford Expedition Braking Performance

Irrespective of its huge size, the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV tends to do better than expected in its emergency braking results. The firm brake pedals perform consistently and have a respectable stopping distance for an SUV. Although the Chevrolet Tahoe houses the least powerful engine, it certainly doesn’t compromise with its braking abilities and manages to bring the vehicle to a halt from 60 mph by covering 125 feet – the best among the four. 

Model	Ford Expedition	Nissan Armada	Chevrolet Tahoe	Toyota Sequoia
Brake Front (in.)	13.5	13.8	N/A	13.9
Brake Rear (in.)	13.2	13.8	N/A	13.6
Curb Weight (lbs.)	5789	5576	5356	5730
60-0 MPH (ft.)	129	128	125	130

Falling behind by 3 feet, the Nissan Armada secures the second position, while the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV ends up being third best with 129 feet of stopping distance in spite of being the lightest among the lot by a huge margin. The one that does suffer due to its curb weight is the heaviest Toyota Sequoia and stops the vehicle at 130 feet.

2017 Ford Expedition Towing Capacity

Towing remains an important aspect when it comes to full size SUVs like Ford Expedition, and here, Ford shines like a diamond in front of its rivals in the segment. The 2017 Ford Expedition SUV is a master hauler, courtesy of the V6 engine that generates enough power to carry an added 9,200 pounds behind it.

Model	Ford Expedition	Nissan Armada	Chevrolet Tahoe	Toyota Sequoia
Towing Capacity (lbs.)	9200	8500	8600	7400

Quite clearly, leaving all the others behind, the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV rises up as the crossover with the maximum towing capacity of 9,200 pounds. The Chevrolet and Nissan come up next with a close 8,600 and 8,500 pounds, respectively. The Toyota lurks behind in terms of towing as it can only pull an excessive of 7,400 pounds.

The massive engine output of the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV certainly isn’t designed to offer a lot of fuel efficiency. Still, it manages to hold 15 mpg in the cities, 21 mpg on the highways, and 18 mpg combined. Also, if fuel efficiency was one of your major concerns, you wouldn’t exactly be looking at a car like the Expedition. The performance and towing capacity on offer are too good to be ignored for lower fuel efficiency. Also, the Ford Expedition can be seen competing quite well against its competition in terms of MPG.

Model	Ford Expedition	Nissan Armada	Chevrolet Tahoe	Toyota Sequoia
MPG (city)	15	14	16	13
MPG (highway)	21	19	23	17
MPG (combined)	18	16	19	15

Once again, the Chevrolet Tahoe continues to impress, and this time with its fuel economy. Topping the table with a favorable 16 mpg in the cities, 23 mpg in the highways, and 19 mpg combined. The 2017 Ford Expedition SUV emerges as the second most efficient among the four. Next up is the Nissan Armada doing better than the Toyota Sequoia in cities, highways, and combined fuel economy, with a figure of 16 mpg. The Sequoia gives the least at 15 mpg combined.

As you would expect for a large crossover, the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV is ideally suited for long journeys undertaken by a large group. The cavernous interior can easily fit 8 people, and the comfortable seats further enhance the ride experience. The use of better materials could have had a more lasting effect. 

The Ford Expedition is the kind of car that can keep everyone inside it happy and comfortable. The driver will be happy with the engine, the good steering setup, and a bunch of other driver aids, while the other occupants can enjoy their spacious seats, and other infotainment features, while traveling to a long destination or while doing their regular commute.

Model	Ford Expedition	Nissan Armada	Chevrolet Tahoe	Toyota Sequoia
Passenger capacity	8	8	8	8
Front (Head/Shoulder/Leg) (In.)	39.6/63.2/41.1	40.9/63.8/41.9	42.8/64.8/45.3	34.8/66.4/42.5
Second (Head/Shoulder/Leg) (In.)	39.8/63.7/39.1	40.0/63.4/39.0	38.7/65.1/39.0	34.9/65.6/40.9
Third (Head/Shoulder/Leg) (In.)	38.3/51.9/37.7	36.4/60.5/28.3	38.1/62.6/24.8	34.5/65.7/35.3

There’s no telling apart among the four vehicles as all of them can capacitate 8 passengers. Front passengers can enjoy a generous headroom and legroom in the Chevrolet Tahoe. The Nissan Armada takes the stage when it comes to second-row passenger headroom, while the Toyota excels in the legroom area. However, Toyota does continue to suffer from the lack of headroom for the second-row passengers, while the Nissan and the Chevrolet lack legroom.

Finally, the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV favors a more spacious third-row passenger headroom and legroom as well. Meanwhile, Toyota still can’t recover from the lack of headroom; the Chevrolet has significantly less legroom for its third-row passengers. Some of the interior features in the 2017 Ford Expedition are:

• 4 way manually adjustable passenger seat
• Manually foldable third-row seats
• Reclining rear seats and split-folding rear seatback
• Rear ventilation ducts
• 1 one-touch power window
• Digital keypad power door lock
• External temperature display
• Rear parking sensors and a rearview camera
• Tilt and telescopic electric power steering with audio and cruise controls
• Destination download and guidance

How intuitive is the 2017 Ford Expedition’s infotainment unit?

The 2017 Ford Expedition SUV is an infotainment sanctuary with abundant features and numerous connectivity options. The Sync 3 infotainment has an 8-inch touch screen display with user-friendly controls and is compatible with Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

No matter how capable the engine is, or how good a car is to drive, there comes a point, beyond which the lack of a proper infotainment system can be a problem, such as setting up navigation, vibing to your favorite music while leisurely cruising on the highway. With the Ford Expedition as your companion, you won’t have any troubles in that department. Major infotainment features are-

• 6 total speakers
• USB connection
• Auxiliary audio input
• Separate rear audio
• Speed sensitive volume control
• Satellite radio
• AM/FM stereo

The Ford Expedition is one such vehicle that stays true to the ideals of a true American SUV. It's huge and is capable of scaring small car drivers just by showing up on the rear mirrors. The use of aluminum body panels has reduced the weight of the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV up to a great extent. The smooth surfaces and the handsome square face of the Ford complement its exterior lighting and chrome trims. 

Ford follows the traditional dimensional aspects of a 3-seater SUV, however from a driving point of view, one has to evaluate the garage spaces and parking spots before employing the docking maneuvers. The front parking sensors and the 360-degree camera come in handy in this regard. 

Model	Ford Expedition	Nissan Armada	Chevrolet Tahoe	Toyota Sequoia
Curb weight (lbs.)	5789	5576	5356	5730
Length(in)	206.5	208.9	204.0	205.1
Width(in)	78.8	79.9	80.5	79.9
Height(in)	77.2	75.8	74.4	77.0
Ground clearance (in)	8.7	9.1	7.9	9.9
Wheelbase (in)	119.0	121.1	116.0	122.0
Track width (in) F/R	67.0/67.7	67.5/67.9	N/A	67.9/69.1

Other than being the longest of all, the Nissan Armada has balanced dimensional characteristics. Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Tahoe is the shortest length-wise and height-wise other than being the widest and having the least ground clearance and wheelbase. Some of the key features in the 2017 Ford Expedition are:

• Intermittent rear wipers
• Privacy glass
• Rear defogger
• Roof rack
• Variable intermittent wipers
• Skid plates
• Step running boards
• Rear Liftgate door with a manual flip-up window

Ford Expedition vs Nissan Armada

The heavy-duty SUV Nissan Armada is a luxury crossover with posh styling and excellent drivability. The interior ambiance is maintained by the Bose audio, 8-inch touch screen infotainment system, and its navigational characteristics. Features like automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control ensure a safe and secure riding experience, while the 5.6-liter V8 engine pumps out a roaring performance.

In comparison with the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV, the new Nissan Armada has quite an impressive engine performance and fairly similar acceleration numbers. But it sure does need work on its braking and fuel efficiency. It does have a better passenger seating space and lacks behind in cargo volume.

Ford Expedition vs Chevrolet Tahoe

The new Chevrolet Tahoe has earned its reputation as a dominating player in the SUV world with its full-size crossover dimensions and heaps of high-tech features, including forward collision warning and lane-keeping assist. The 5.3-liter V8 engine is responsible for its outstanding performance, while the interiors are maintained by its user-friendly infotainment system.

Up against the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV, it does lack behind in its engine output and acceleration, performs better with its brakes, is exceptionally fuel-efficient but has lesser interior spacing and cargo volume.

Ford Expedition vs Toyota Sequoia

Powered by the 5.7-liter V8 engine, the new Toyota Sequoia is a perfect SUV in all sense and represents the reputation of Toyota immaculately. With fresh exterior designs and loads of active safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning, Toyota makes sure it doesn’t leave any stone unturned.

When it is compared with the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV, we get to see that it has a somewhat powerful engine output and quite similar acceleration figures but lacks behind in terms of braking and a lot more in terms of fuel economy. What’s compromising is its congested seating area, although it can accommodate a large amount of luggage.

Overall, the 2017 Ford Expedition is exactly what you need in an all-around road cruiser. Performance, economy, and practicality - you name it and the Ford gets it done better than most of its rivals. What can be bothering is the high base price. But, if you are looking for a long-term purchase of a family SUV, we would highly recommend you to go for the 2017 Ford Expedition SUV as it’s definitely worth it.
