Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Ford Escape than the Ford Expedition. The Ford Expedition will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Ford Escape.

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). Clearly, the Ford Escape is a better financial choice over the Ford Expedition, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions

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

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Ford Expedition is clearly the choice over the Ford Escape for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Escape has a lot less horsepower than the Ford Expedition.
