The 2022 Ford Expedition fares well when put up against the 2022 Chevrolet Suburban starting with wallet-friendly pricing in the lower trims, more impressive technology features and hefty capabilities. The standard engine of the Expedition can be outfitted to offer increasing variations in horsepower and towing is estimated at 9,300 pounds. Let’s look at it closely.
Power
The 2022 Ford Expedition comes with a twin turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 paired to a 10-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive or 4WD. The standard horsepower is 380 hp but with the Limited it increases to 400 hp or add the Stealth Performance package to get it to 440 hp. Much more than the Suburban from start to finish. It can tow up to 9,300 pounds and RWD gets 17/23 mpg or AWD 17/22 mpg (city, highway).
The 2022 Chevrolet Suburban on the other hand, offers three engines to choose from. The base is a 5.3-liter V-8 with 355 horsepower and 21/20 mpg. An available 3-liter turbo diesel inline-six with 277 horsepower and 21/27 mpg makes up the second option. Last is a 6.2-liter V-8 with 420 horsepower and 21/20 mpg. There are optional adaptive dampers and adjustable air suspension but not much else to compete with the hauling capabilities of the Expedition.

Conclusion
Although the 2022 Chevrolet Suburban does offer a little more in standard safety features and technology, the tech is less impressive than what the 2022 Ford Expedition does. You won’t get as much in horsepower and towing either so we don’t think the more expensive starting price is worth it. Choose the 2022 Ford Expedition for your next capable transportation.
