Ford's full-size SUV lineup offers two equally powerful yet distinctive siblings: the 2024 Ford Expedition and the Expedition MAX. If you are unsure which one is right for you, your local Ford dealership is here to assist with details about each model's cargo space, towing capacity, fuel economy, and more. 2024 Ford Expedition vs. Expedition MAX: What's the Difference? The Expedition MAX Offers More Cargo Space Measuring 221.9 inches long, the Ford Expedition MAX offers more room to store your luggage than the 210-inch Expedition. Inside the larger model, you will find 34.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 73.3 behind the second row, and 121.5 behind the first row. The Expedition MAX is the right choice if you regularly plan weekend trips with your family and carry a lot of gear and suitcases. On the other hand, the Ford Expedition offers 19.3 cubic feet behind the third row, 57.3 behind the second row, and 104 behind the first row. The Expedition serves SUV shoppers who are looking for a daily driver with a lower entry price, but don't necessarily need a vehicle with extraordinary cargo space. The Expedition Boasts Better Performance A capable 3.5L EcoBoost V6 powers both SUVs, generating 380 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. The smaller framed Expedition converts the power output to an incredible towing capacity of 9,300 lbs. The Expedition MAX follows closely behind with an impressive 9,000 lbs. The extra 300 lbs of towing capacity is also accompanied by better fuel economy; the Expedition achieves an EPA-estimated 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway, whereas the Expedition MAX manages 16 and 23 mpg. If 380 hp doesn't satisfy you, numerous trims and packages are available to bump up the performance figures. For instance, the Limited and Limited MAX trim levels boost the engine's output to 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. When combined with the Stealth Performance Package, both SUVs produce 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. The Expedition Offers Additional Trim Levels The Expedition MAX is available in four trims, including the luxurious Platinum model. On the other hand, the Expedition offers six, with the two additional configurations being the XL STX and Timberline. The XL STX trim is the Expedition's base model and offers a lower entry cost than the Expedition XLT MAX. The Expedition Timberline trim level prepares your SUV to go beyond the pavement with increased ground clearance, skid plates, and underbody shielding.
