vs 2023 GMC Yukon XL in Paynesville, MN
Maximum opportunities. Maximum excitement. Maximum comfort. All of this (and much more) is waiting for you in the new 2023 Ford Expedition MAX. The MAX in this model’s name refers to the fact that its wheelbase is ten inches longer than that of the original Ford Expedition, which means you’ll have even more room to get comfortable when you choose the Ford Expedition MAX. This massive SUV didn’t come to play — it came to perform. Its 3.5-liter EcoBoost® engine is both powerful and efficient, providing the strength needed to haul heavy loads while still reaching an impressive EPA-estimated 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.1 Equipped with an independent front and rear suspension, the Ford Expedition MAX handles like a dream, especially when taking corners or maneuvering over uneven terrain. And speaking of taking this SUV off the beaten path, its available Control Trac® Four Wheel Drive will take your off-roading trips to the next level. Don’t shrink your plans to fit a small SUV — go big or go home with the 2023 Ford Expedition MAX.

The new 2023 GMC Yukon XL is a heavy hitter, but it doesn’t deliver as much as the new 2023 Ford Expedition MAX does in several crucial areas. For instance, the Ford Expedition MAX offers more for your money, since its standard engine is capable of a whopping 380 horsepower2 — no upgrade needed to get an impressive amount of power. In contrast, the standard engine in the GMC Yukon XL can only muster up 355 horsepower. If you’re planning to tow with your new SUV, the Ford Expedition MAX offers a higher maximum available towing capacity than its rival does. Inside the cabin, the Ford Expedition MAX wins again, since its base model is equipped with a standard 12-inch touchscreen display and standard power-folding second- and third-row seats. The base model of the GMC Yukon XL is only equipped with a standard 10.2-inch touchscreen display, and its second- and third-row seats can only be folded down manually. Want a Blind Spot Warning System in your SUV? The Ford Expedition MAX offers one as a standard feature in its lowest trim, which means you’ll get to enjoy this helpful, protective feature no matter which trim you choose. And finally, both models can be equipped with available rear-seat entertainment systems and available hands-free driver assistance technology, adding even more enjoyment and convenience for you and your passengers.
