Performance
Strong Engines for Robust Capability

The new Chevy Tahoe' standard V8 engine generates 355 horsepower. Optional engines include a 420-horsepower V8 and a 305-horsepower turbodiesel engine. Its maximum towing capacity is 8,400 pounds.
Technology
Dazzling Infotainment and Digital Instrument Displays
When it comes to infotainment and driver information displays, bigger is usually better. The new Ford Expedition comes with a 24-inch panoramic digital instrument display working in concert with a 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen. It's easy to see and a cinch to operate. It even comes with Google Maps and Google Assistant functionality.
The new Chevy Tahoe's displays include an 11-inch digital instrument cluster and a 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen. It doesn't come with Google Maps or Google Assistant.
Safety
A Wealth of Leading-Edge Safety Features
All Ford Expedition trims come with the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 package of driver assistance features to help you avoid accidents. It includes eight advanced active safety technologies, including evasive steering assistance.
The Chevy Tahoe also has a wide array of driver aids, but evasive steering assistance isn't standard.
