Comparison Review

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

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 Max will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Jeep Compass, which has a much lower MSRP.

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

Handling
The Ford Expedition Max has a significantly larger turning radius than the Jeep Compass, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

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

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

Utility
The Ford Expedition Max offers greater seating capacity than the Jeep Compass, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. With the Ford Expedition Max, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Jeep Compass.
