When it comes to Ford’s SUV lineup, both the 2024 Ford Explorer and the 2024 Ford Expedition stand out for their performance, features, and versatility. But with differences in size, power, and capacity, each is tailored to distinct needs and preferences. Here’s a comparison to help you choose the right fit.
Design and Interior Space

The 2024 Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV offering a comfortable ride for up to seven passengers. It strikes a balance between cargo space and maneuverability, ideal for families who need ample space without the bulk of a full-size SUV. The 2024 Ford Expedition, however, is a full-size SUV with seating for up to eight passengers and significantly more cargo space, making it perfect for larger families or those who frequently travel with a full load.
