Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Expedition offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the GMC Acadia, with comparable head- and legroom. The GMC Acadia offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Ford Expedition, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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 is somewhat more expensive than the GMC Acadia.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Expedition is much wider than the GMC Acadia, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Ford Expedition, which is slightly longer than the GMC Acadia.

Handling
The Ford Expedition has a larger turning radius than the GMC Acadia, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Ford Expedition has a little more horsepower than the GMC Acadia.

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 GMC Acadia.

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