Best Full-Size SUV: Testing 4 of the Biggest On Sale Today
Four big, body-on-frame SUVs enter the arena. Only one will win. It’s time to see which is the best full-size SUV.
Car hire services, ranch owners, extraordinarily large families, and those who tow small mountains pay attention—this comparison is for you.
We gathered four of the best large, body-on-frame SUVs currently on sale. These big sport utilities excel in hauling people, cargo, and sizable trailers. But more than that, the higher-end models are crammed full of luxury, technology, and comfort.
Managing editor Mike Schlee, freelance writer and photographer Jeff Wilson, and myself spent the week driving all four of this big-boned bruisers. At the end of the week, we were all in agreement about which SUV was best, but there were some surprises elsewhere in the ranks. Read on for the full story.
Chevrolet Tahoe Vs Ford Expedition: Which Full-Size SUV Is Right For You?
The Chevrolet Tahoe is the latest in a long line of full-sized, body-on-frame sport utility vehicles that have served as the most popular big people movers for decades.
The Tahoe rides on the shorter wheelbase version of the GMT1XX while the Suburban is the longer wheelbase model and together, they form the modern iteration of the legendary GM SUV lineup. While the Tahoe and Suburban models were formally introduced in the early 1990s, large GM SUVs have been the leader in the segment since the 1950s.
The top competitor for the large GM SUVs from Ford is the Expedition, which was introduced for the 1997 model year. The Expedition may not have the half-century of SUV history behind it, but the big Ford is based on the same basic underpinnings as the F-Series pickup. In other words, the Expedition is essentially an SUV version of the bestselling truck for the past 40 years, so it has proven to be quite popular since hitting the market.
