Our team at Station GMC is here to guide you toward your ideal SUV with this GMC Yukon vs. Ford Expedition comparison. Let’s see how things shake out!

MAXIMUM CARGO CAPACITY
Large vessels like the GMC Yukon and the Ford Expedition are destined to go places. Thanks to their robust powertrains and all-terrain capabilities, these SUVs can tackle all types of adventures and keep you on the road for extended periods.
Power is one thing, and the power of choice is another. The Ford Expedition is only available with one engine: a 3.5L EcoBoost® V6, while the GMC Yukon gives you three engine options. They include:
- 5.3L V8
- 6.2L V8
- 3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel
Double take all you want—you read that correctly. The GMC Yukon is available with a diesel engine, something the Ford Expedition can’t claim. The 3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel engine perfectly blends pulling power with long-range efficiency, providing 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.
If you’re heading off the beaten path, both models are available with 4-wheel drive. They also offer off-road-tuned trim levels with a similar set of exclusive all-terrain features. One difference is that the GMC Yukon AT4 trim offers an aggressive approach angle of nearly 32 degrees, while that of the Ford Expedition Timberline trim tops out at just 28.5 degrees.
The GMC Yukon offers seating for up to nine passengers, while the Ford Expedition has room for up to eight. That means safety is more important than ever, which is why both models offer advanced driver-assistance features to help you stay confident behind the wheel.
GMC Pro Safety and Ford Co-Pilot360™ provide a similar array of standard and available safety systems. They include brand-specific versions of:
- IntelliBeam® headlamps
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
With these features on board, drivers can experience ultimate confidence on the road.
The GMC Yukon takes protection one step further with standard Teen Driver , a perfect feature for families with an up-and-coming motorist. When your teen’s key fob is in use, it can limit certain vehicle functions and automatically activate equipped safety systems to encourage better driving habits.
Need even more room? The GMC Yukon and the Ford Expedition are available as extended models. Yep, you read that right. These large vehicles become even larger, which means you’ll have more room for your growing family or for your largest cargo.
Both SUVs are available with an extended wheelbase version: the GMC Yukon XL and the Ford Expedition MAX. They’ll expand your interior space, giving your friends more wiggle room and offering more storage when you need it.
The Yukon XL extends an additional 15 inches, giving it an overall length of 225.2 inches, while the overall length of the Expedition MAX tops off at just 221.9 inches. That means you’ll have a lot more room in the GMC Yukon XL.
In fact, while the maximum cargo capacity of the Expedition MAX caps at 121.5 cubic feet, the Yukon XL provides a whopping 144.7 cubic feet of storage space. Simply lower the 60/40 split-folding second- and third-row seats, and you’ll have room for the entire football team’s equipment or your camping gear for a long weekend.
Whether you’re looking for a full-size SUV with a longer wheelbase, superior safety systems, or powerful engine options, the GMC Yukon is your go-to.
