The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
7.2
8.2
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2009 Chrysler Aspen has a nice interior but—Hybrid model aside—there are few other reasons to choose the 2009 Chrysler Aspen over roomier full-size SUVs. The 2008 Ford Expedition is a big, capable SUV with a truly useful and convenient third row.
