Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Cadillac Escalade than the Ford Expedition. The Cadillac Escalade offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Ford Expedition, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
The Ford Expedition requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Cadillac Escalade, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Cadillac Escalade will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Ford Expedition, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac Escalade is a little wider than the Ford Expedition, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac Escalade takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Ford Expedition.

Handling
The Cadillac Escalade has a smaller turning radius than the Ford Expedition, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Cadillac Escalade is clearly the choice over the Ford Expedition for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac Escalade has a little more horsepower than the Ford Expedition.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Cadillac Escalade doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Ford Expedition.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac Escalade and the Ford Expedition. The Cadillac Escalade has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Ford Expedition.
