Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Expedition than in the Toyota Highlander. The Ford Expedition will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota Highlander.

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 Ford Expedition will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota Highlander, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Expedition is much wider than the Toyota Highlander, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Ford Expedition, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Toyota Highlander.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Ford Expedition is clearly the choice over the Toyota Highlander for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Expedition greatly out-muscles the Toyota Highlander.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Ford Expedition does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Toyota Highlander.

Utility
The Ford Expedition has less seating than the Toyota Highlander, making the Toyota Highlander the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. With the Ford Expedition, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Toyota Highlander.
