Compare 2020 GMC Yukon vs 2020 Ford Expedition
The American automotive rivalry between GM and Ford goes back to the days before seat belts, air bags, and fuel-efficiency—before SUVs even existed. The competition continues with two larger-than-life SUVs—the 2020 GMC Yukon and Ford Expedition. At Larry Clark Chevrolet GMC, we wanted to place these spacious vehicles head to head in a family-friendly feud to see which ride is right for you.
Engine Options and Performance in these 3-Row SUVs
You may not be shopping for a full-size SUV to take to the racetrack for a joy ride, but you want your family road trip mobile to have the horses you need to get up to speed on Mississippi’s open roads. The 2020 GMC Yukon offers two engine choices: a 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 and a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 available on the LT and standard on the Denali trims.
The Ford Expedition also offers two choices—a 375-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 and a 400-horsepower variety. Both options achieve a 19-mph combined fuel economy which may appear more eco-friendly than the GMC Yukon’s 17-mpg rating. However, the GMC Yukon takes regular gas while the Ford requires premium. Add this to the fact that the top trim of the Expedition has an MSRP that’s almost $7,000 more expensive than the GMC Yukon Denali and it’s clear the GMC is the choice your wallet would make given the chance.
Both SUVs Offer An Impressive List of Safety Features
GMC and Ford have both done a good job outfitting these 3-row SUVs with the safety features family-oriented drivers are looking for. They both offer available advanced technology like lane keep assist with lane departure warning, blind spot monitors, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency breaking, and more. It’s clear these American-made SUVs share a lot of similarities, but there is one key difference.
The 2020 GMC Yukon has a 116-inch wheelbase while the Ford Expedition has a 122.5-inch wheelbase. This 6.5-inch disparity means the GMC Yukon provides a sleeker ride, offering more maneuverability when you need it most. It’s also worth noting that GMC offers OnStar roadside for world-class roadside assistants. If you want a 3-row SUV that won’t lumber along in Amory, MS, the 2020 GMC Yukon is the obvious choice.
