2024 Ford Expedition King Ranch Dominates Chevy Tahoe In Saskatchewan
Is bigger truly better?
The 2024 Ford Expedition King Ranch poses this question as it sits at the start-line, with the new Chevy Tahoe Premier revving beside - and then it delivers a resounding No as it speeds away. Despite offering a smaller engine suite, this SUV dominates the competition; and it proves that less can indeed be more.
Prepare, Saskatchewan, for the ultimate sport-utility upgrade.
2024 Ford Expedition King Ranch: Performance Specs
Fear no challenge. Deny no adventure.
Anchoring the 2024 Expedition King Ranch is a segment-defining 3.5L V6. Crafted from die-cast aluminum, this EcoBoost engine generates up to 400 HP (at 5,000 RPM) and 480 lb.-ft of torque (at 2,250 RPM). Twin turbochargers assure seamless power, while a 10-speed automatic transmission offers SelectShift performance. Independent variable cam timing enhances valve overlapping; and a final drive ratio of 3.73 promises balanced handling on straightaways and sharp curves alike, creating precise control.
To further impress, the new Expedition King Ranch delivers a 0 to 60 rating of approximately five seconds - as well as a top speed output of 113 miles. Despite its family-friendly styling, this ride offers robust performance on the backroads.
It also leaves the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe Premier struggling to keep pace.
Though it boasts a larger engine suite - a 5.3L V8 - the Premier only offers 355 HP (at 5,600 RPM) and 383 lb.-ft of torque (at 4,100 RPM). It shares a 10-speed automatic transmission with the Expedition, but it fails to deliver the necessary speed: generating a 0 to 60 rating of approximately seven seconds. This sluggish performance will leave drivers underwhelmed.
The Winner: 2024 Ford Expedition King Ranch.
2024 Ford Expedition King Ranch: Economy Specs
Achieve more than horsepower in Saskatchewan.
The 2024 Expedition King Ranch has been tailored for everyday convenience - fusing its V6 engine with a series of efficiency options. Direct-injection technology enhances fuel atomization and decreases turbo lag, affording improved resource distribution; while aluminum alloy cylinder heads shed crucial pounds from the block, reducing the strain cast-iron can create. Electric power-assisted steering requires less energy to achieve maximum results, and the inclusion of an Intelligent AWD further bolsters performance.
This drivetrain - which blends ControlTrac technology with an independent short and long arm (SLA) suspension - yields peerless handling as terrains change, assessing acceleration, wheel spin, traction outputs, and other key metrics. When sudden deviations are detected, the system can regulate torque distribution and improve handling. This reduces power strain and creates a more efficient ride.
When these elements combine, they afford up to 16 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway - and they also allow the new Expedition King Ranch to sail past its Tahoe competitor.
The Chevy Premier’s larger engine demands more fuel than the Expedition - and, because of this, it yields a less than impressive output. The V8 delivers 15 MPG in the city and 20 MPG on the highway, and this translates to a shorter drive-range (a maximum of 480 miles per single tank, compared to Ford’s 510 miles). Expect adventures to be interrupted by frequent gas station visits.
The Winner: 2024 Ford Expedition King Ranch.
