TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2008 Ford Expedition is a big, capable SUV with a truly useful and convenient third row.

The 2009 GMC Yukon Denali still ranks as one of the most stylish and comfortable ways to do serious cross-country hauling.

TCC Likes

Independent rear suspension
King Ranch leather
Room in third-row seat

Classy and upscale, not garish
Strong acceleration
Serious towing ability

TCC Dislikes

Ride isn't class-leading
Only one engine
Engine noise

XL models are tough to park
Dismal fuel economy
Tough access to tight third-row seats
