Key Points

- The Tahoe has more engine options than the Expedition.
- Each SUV has similar cabin, tech, and safety features.
- The MSRP range of the Expedition is about $55,000–$84,000.

Did the new Expedition change much?
Ford made minor changes to the 2024 Expedition, but no major changes have occurred with this model. These minor changes include a new Wild Green paint color, front tow hooks on certain trims, USB ports for second row seating, and a change from three-year to one-year in-dash navigation. Besides these changes, the 2024 Expedition has the same exterior as the 2023 model.
These exterior features include a stunning front grille, sculpted body curves, and nice LED headlights. Among the different trims, you notice slight differences in exterior style. For example, the Timberline trim has a more versatile, sporty presence while the Platinum trim has a fancy vibe. An important thing to note is that the front tow hooks are only available with the XLT, Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum trims because they have AWD.
How big is the Expedition’s cargo space?
The new Expedition’s cargo space has the following figures:
- Behind third row: 19.3 cubic feet
- Behind second row: 57.5 cubic feet
- Behind first row: 104.6 cubic feet
These are the legroom figures for the Expedition:
- Third row: 36.1 inches
- Second row: 42.6 inches
- First row: 43.9 inches
Along with these cargo spaces, the Expedition’s interior is comfortable and accommodating. You can choose a trim that has nice, normal seating or get fancy leather upholstery with massage functionality. Furthermore, the other materials that make up the storage, dashboard, and other aspects of the cabin can be as functional or luxurious as you want.
However, going for the higher trims will give you more interior features that will make your driving experience more comfortable and convenient. The biggest features of the Expeditions interior are its adjustable cargo spaces, great legroom, and pleasant cabin. An important thing to note is the Expedition does have more second and third row legroom than the Tahoe.
The Expedition’s tech has SYNC 4 software with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Along with the software, the Expedition has a large 12.0-inch touchscreen, an 8.0-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless charging pad, multiple USB ports, Wi-Fi hotspot, in-dash navigation, and a 12-speaker B&O sound system. For a large SUV, the Expedition offers exceptional technology.
Did the 2024 Tahoe change at all?
The 2024 Tahoe did not change at all from the previous model, but it is expected that the 2025 Tahoe will have a major redesign. Nevertheless, the Tahoe continues its athletic but contemporary style. Like the Expedition, the Tahoe has trims that can be more basic or more upscale.
For example, LS trim has the main looks of the Tahoe, but the High Country trim has chrome accents that give Tahoe a classy vibe. Another example is the Z71 trim. If you are someone who wants a sporty feeling while driving a Tahoe that has large all-terrain tires, a skid plate, red recovery hooks, and a distinctive honeycomb trim, the Z71 trim is the option for you.
How big is the cargo space in a 2024 Tahoe?
The new Tahoe has the following cargo spaces:
- Behind third row: 22.0 cubic feet
- Behind second row: 72.6 cubic feet
- Behind first row: 122.9 cubic feet
Here are the legroom figures for the 2024 Tahoe:
- Third row: 34.9 inches
- Second row: 42.0 inches
- First row: 44.5 inches
Along with these figures, the Tahoe’s cabin is spacious. It has three rows of seats with a slidable second row for better accessibility and comfort to third row passengers. Preferably, most people opt for captain’s chairs in the second row for better comfort and legroom. The biggest things the Tahoe offers though are its large cargo spaces and legroom. It does have more cargo space and front legroom than the Expedition, but overall the Expedition is more comfortable.
With interior tech, the LS trim offers an 8.0-inch touchscreen with a 4.2-inch digital gauge cluster. If you upgrade to a trim higher than the LS, you get a larger 10.2-inch touchscreen with a 12.0-inch digital cluster gauge. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot are standard features across all trims. Along with these software features, you get multiple charging ports for added convenience. Optional upgrades include a Bose stereo system and two 12.6-inch displays mounted behind the front seats for rear-seat entertainment needs.
The new Expedition’s engine is a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 that has 380 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. If you need more power, the Timberline has 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque, which makes it ideal for off-roading. The Expedition can tow up to 9,300 pounds and has a fuel efficiency of about 17/23 mpg.
The Expedition’s safety features are lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, rear-cross traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and BlueCruise, which is Ford's hands-free driving system.
What is the 2024 Tahoe’s engine?
The 2024 Tahoe has three engine options:
- 5.3-liter V8 creating 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque (15/20 mpg)
- 6.2-liter V8 creating 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque (14/18–20 mpg)
- 3.0-liter turbodiesel I6 creating 277 hp and 460 lb-ft (21/28 mpg)
Every engine option is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and can be configured in RWD or AWD. The Tahoe can tow up 8,400 pounds, which is 900 pounds less than the Expedition's capacity. However, you get more options to choose from than the Expedition.
Choosing the 6.2-liter engine delivers more power than the Expedition's 3.5-liter basic tune up (except for the Timberline tune up), or going with the 3.0-liter turbodiesel offers better fuel economy than the Expedition's engine.
Chevy's Safety Assist system provides the Tahoe with safety features like lane-keep assistance, parking sensors, automatic emergency braking, and the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system.
