The Car Connection's Take

TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2021 Chevy Tahoe gets larger, roomier, comfier, and loaded with more features than a cineplex.

The 2020 Ford Expedition sets a benchmark for full-size SUVs, with rugged ability and sophisticated sensibilities.

TCC Likes

Available air suspension
Roomier third row
10-speed automatic

Vast interior room
Swift acceleration
Swell cabin, especially trimmed in Platinum

TCC Dislikes

Some in-state college educations are cheaper
Optional adaptive cruise control
Need a bigger garage

Sticker price well into Range Rover territory
Needs the biggest parking spots
Fuel economy's a downer
