Is an Expedition bigger than a Sequoia?
Yes the Expedition is bigger than a Sequoia, and enough so to make the Expedition a bit more comfortable and roomy than the Sequoia. The Expedition sits at 210 inches long, while the Sequoia sits at 208 inches long. The Expedition has one of the roomiest cabins in the segment because it prioritizes passenger space over cargo volume. This makes the Expedition our choice for a family road trip, due to its roomy interior, you feel like you are on your own continent, at least for the first half hour. Another big reason we lean towards the Expedition is for the Expedition Max, an extended wheelbase version of the venerable SUV. The Expedition Max gives you more cargo space and a bit more legroom. The standard Expedition has 20.9 cubic feet of space, and the Max version has 36 cubic feet of space, giving you loads more space for road trips and soccer games.
What is the Ford Equivalent to the Toyota Sequoia?
The Ford equivalent to the Toyota Sequoia is the Ford Expedition. The two family haulers both compete in the family sized SUV segment, and are of comparable sizes. That is right about where the similarities end because both vehicles focus on a couple different aspects of family SUVs so they can be competitive in their own ways.
The Toyota prioritizes cargo volume, having 2 more cubic feet of space than the Ford does, and with a shorter body this compromises passenger leg room. Beyond that the two have fairly comparable interiors in terms of class and style. The two SUVs designed to high standards, and choosing between the two based on their aesthetic will largely come down to brand preference.
