"Expeditions are the same as Expedition EL's except in length. Same height and width. And the Expedition is not a offroad SUV, nore is Suburban. They are multi-purpose people movers. They haul cargo, passengers, trailers and other things. I doubt a Toyota Land Cruiser can haul a trailer as easily as a Expedition. And Explorers are mid-size SUV's, not full-size. Land Cruisers are full-size."
If you want to talk about the capability the Toyota Land Cruiser, my Land Cruiser can tow up too 6,500lbs; while the standard Expedition can only tow 6,000lbs. I think the Land Cruiser is a all-round better vehicle than the Expedition, which is why I bought one. Ford Expeditions’ are nice, don’t get me wrong, (I have owned two of them) However I needed a more capable vehicle.
The Land Cruiser also has better factory fit and finish, than the Expedition, while also having a better reliability record.
It is also noted that Ford designed the first generation Expedition with the Land Cruiser mind (they wanted it to be able to compete with Land Cruiser) not just the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban. However due to Land Cruiser’s more prominent background, more luxurious passenger cabin accommodations, it’s Off-Road capability and its fit and finish quality; Ford abandoned the idea of the Expedition competing with the Land Cruiser.
