Big families and big adventures call for a big SUV. That's where the 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and 2025 Ford Expedition come in. These full-size SUVs offer serious space, power, and capability. But the question is, Expedition or Tahoe, which one is the best choice for your drives around Plano? Our team at Huffines Chevrolet Plano has made this guide comparing the Tahoe and Expedition to help you decide which SUV fits your needs best.
Design and Exterior Features
The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition bring bold looks, and lighting plays a big role in both their design elements. The Tahoe offers walk-up and walk-away animations, giving it a high-tech touch. The Expedition's grille lights up and makes a bold first impression.
The Tahoe has sleek exterior details and premium upgrades. Chevy gave the Tahoe a redesigned front with new grilles and fascias across all trims. You'll also get 24-inch wheels on the RST and High Country trims. The available AutoSense power liftgate makes loading easier when your hands are full. Just stand behind the liftgate with your key fob, and it'll open automatically.
The Expedition has a strong, rugged design with long, sweeping lines. The Platinum trim gets eye-catching 20-inch Ebony Black aluminum wheels, and the Tremor model adds exclusive rugged styling.
Performance and Engine Specifications
The Tahoe sticks with classic V-8 muscle. Most trims get a 5.3-liter V-8 with 355 horsepower. Higher trims offer a 6.2-liter V-8 with 420 horsepower that's great for towing. There's also a diesel option with 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque. All engines pair with a smooth 10-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, and all-wheel drive is an available option. The Z71 trim adds off-road upgrades, such as a two-speed transfer case, all-terrain tires, and skid plates. An available air suspension lets you raise or lower the ride height when needed.
The Expedition relies on turbo power. Its 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 makes 400 horsepower, and there's a high-output version that pushes 440 horsepower. Like the Tahoe, it gets a 10-speed automatic. Ford also uses an independent rear suspension for a softer ride. If you're looking for off-road performance, the Tremor trim adds off-road features, including skid plates, all-terrain tires, and a Rock Crawl driving mode.
Interior and Technology Features
The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition both offer big, comfortable cabins with plenty of tech. But the Tahoe uses space better and keeps everything within easy reach.
Inside the Tahoe, it feels wide open. Three rows come standard, and the second row slides to make more room in the back. Storage is everywhere — under the armrest, in the center console, and throughout the cabin. The High Country trim adds luxury with real wood, perforated leather, and exclusive colors. Cargo space is also huge. With all seats down, you get 122.7 cubic feet. There's even 26 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row.
The Expedition is roomy too, but with 108.5 cubic feet of standard cargo volume, you don't get as much space. You'll have to upgrade to an Expedition MAX model for a cargo volume similar to that of the Tahoe. If you want luxury features, the Platinum trim adds leather and massaging seats. You can also pick a second-row bench or captain's chair. Every Expedition has a power-folding third row that lays flat.
The Tahoe keeps it simple and smart with its tech. Each model comes with a 17.7-inch screen that's tilted toward the driver and an 11-inch digital gauge cluster. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and wireless charging all come standard. A Bose sound system and rear entertainment screens are optional.
The Expedition is bolder with its approach to tech. Every trim has a massive 24-inch screen stretched across the dash, and a second screen sits below it for infotainment controls. It runs on Google software and supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Wi-Fi. You can even stream movies when parked with Ford Premium Connectivity.
Safety and Reliability
The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition both keep safety a priority. However, the Tahoe adds more standard features to make driving and towing easier.
Every Tahoe comes with lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection. Chevy also offers Super Cruise on the LT, RST, Premier, and High Country trims, letting you drive hands-free on mapped highways. Towing is easier, too. The Tahoe includes a trailer tire monitor, boat-ramp assist, and a navigation system that adjusts for trailer size.
The Expedition has strong safety features as well. Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking come standard, and lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control are available. BlueCruise — Ford's hands-free driving system — is also offered on select models.
When it comes to the Tahoe vs. Expedition reliability, both SUVs come with the same warranty coverage. You get three years or 36,000 miles for the limited warranty, and the powertrain is covered for five years or 60,000 miles. However, Chevy gives you a free first maintenance visit, and Ford doesn't.
Pricing and Value
The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe gives you more for less. It starts at $59,000, while the Ford Expedition begins at $62,000. That's a big difference right from the start. Chevy offers six trims, from the LS to the luxurious High Country, which starts at $78,700. The Expedition only has four trims, and its top model starts at $83,655.
