Although the Toyota Highlander also features three-zone automatic climate control, it only offers 84.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the second and third rows folded flat.

There’s No Competition When it Comes to Capability

Under the hood of the 2023 Ford Expedition is a 3.5L EcoBoost^®V6 engine that outputs a thrilling 380 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque. Choose a model like the Ford Expedition Limited, and power is boosted to a whopping 400 horsepower. Mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, the Ford Expedition is capable of towing up to 6,000 lb.

Ensuring that you never worry about overcoming obstacles, the Expedition also features a standard 9.8-inches of ground clearance.

Move over to the 2023 Toyota Highlander and you’ll find a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine under the hood that only generates 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.

Additionally, the Highlander only includes a standard eight inches of ground clearance compared to nearly 10-inches with the Expedition.
