Powertrain Excellence on the 2018 Ford Expedition

The Ford model in this 2018 Ford Expedition vs 2018 Chevy Tahoe comparison comes standard with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, while the standard engine in the 2018 Chevy Tahoe is a 5.3-liter V-8. Usually the contrast between a V-6 and a V-8 would mean that the Ford cannot offer the performance that full-size SUV shoppers are looking for, but nothing could be further from the truth. The V-6 on the 2018 Ford Expedition not only offers the top engine output (coming in at 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, compared to 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet on the 2018 Tahoe) but it even delivers better city and highway mileage.

Even when it comes to towing, the 2018 Ford Expedition offers up to 9,300 pounds of towing, while the 2018 Chevy Tahoe tops out at 8,600 pounds. That is respectable, but definitely less than you can get with the Ford model.

These are just a few of the advantages offered by the 2018 Ford Expedition. To learn more about this bold and capable model in the Brainerd MN area, contact a member of the Kimber Creek Ford sales team.
