2024 Ford Expedition Max vs. Toyota Sequoia
Which Is the Ultimate SUV for Large Families?
Are you looking to maximize passenger and cargo space by purchasing a full-size SUV? Check out what the 2024 Ford Expedition Max vs. Toyota Sequoia has to offer.
If you have a large family, you already know how hard it can be to accommodate everyone. You shouldn’t have to worry about that when you have to drive the kids to school, get the errands done with a full house, or head out for a family road trip.
We stand fully behind the 2024 Ford Expedition Max. You don’t have to take our word for it, though. Learn about all the factors that set our favorite apart in the battle between the 2024 Ford Expedition Max vs. Toyota Sequoia below.
How to Maximize Your Passenger and Cargo Space
The 2024 Ford Expedition Max and the Toyota Sequoia can seat up to eight people. That doesn’t make them equals when it comes to passenger space, though. In the Toyota Sequoia, the third row is suitable for kids but may not comfortably seat adult passengers.
In a Sequoia, the third-row legroom clocks in at just 33.7 inches. In the Ford Expedition Max, third-row passengers get anywhere from 36.1 to 40.9 inches, depending on how you set the seats. The rear seats even recline to give third-row passengers extra wiggle room.
The situation is similar with cargo capacity. The Toyota Sequoia can fit up to 86.9 cu ft of cargo with second-row and third-row seats folded down. The Ford Expedition Max can hold an impressive 121.5 cu ft of cargo.
Are These Two Full-Size SUVs Comparably Powerful?
All the legroom and cargo space in the world won’t do SUV owners any good if their vehicles can’t get down the road fully loaded. In this case, the Toyota Sequoia performs about as well as the Ford Expedition Max.
The Sequoia’s performance comes from its standard hybrid powertrain. The Expedition Max features a 3.5L twin turbo V-6, while the Sequoia combines a slightly smaller 3.4L twin turbo V-6 gas engine with an electric motor.
Surprisingly, the two SUVs also have very similar towing capacities. If you plan to take the family on road trips in your new four-door SUV, either vehicle is a good option.
The Expedition Max gets 23 mpg on the highway, while the Sequoia gets 24. They can both tow over 9,000 lbs. Keep in mind that the Toyota Sequoia has an MSRP over $5k higher than that of the Ford Expedition, which means less money for fun extra features.
Don’t Settle for Less Than the Best for Your Family
The Ford Expedition Max reliably wins KBB Best Buy awards every year. It boasts more cargo space and seating, has a powerful engine, and offers amenities like dedicated air vents and charging ports even for third-row passengers.
We aren’t saying the Toyota Sequoia is a poor-quality SUV. However, at Ray Skillman Hoosier Ford, we stand behind our brand. The 2024 Ford Expedition Max makes that incredibly easy to do. Head to our showroom so you can see everything it has to offer for yourself.
