Suburban = 355hp 383tq
Expedition = 375hp 470tq
Yes I would say the Suburban overall is much less powered
Let me explain
Torque is a rotating force produced by an engine’s crankshaft. The more torque an engine produces, the greater its ability to perform work.
With almost 100 more ftlbs of torque and 4 more gears to chose from the Expedition should have towed better than the Suburban period.
And I don't care if you disagree or not. If you cant tell the Expedition is sagging a lot more then the Suburban you need to get your eyes checked or update the prescription on your glasses. The Suburban is damn near level the entire time and the Expy is clearly not.
You make it sound like every model prior to 18 is riding around on wagon wheels or something. Sacrifice the comfort of your family are you serious!!!!! Ive had no complaints from my family of 5 concerning the comfort of the ride when towing or not.
Yea but if you buy a GM you get a Denali with the 6.2L. My next SUV when this thing dies out (if it ever does) will most likely be the GMC, they are sexy, sound good, and fly (fastest full size on the market). The GM 6.2L outperforms everyone else's powertrains in the table. The 5.3L in the burb feels kind of ancient but it is fine still. The GMs have some of the best suspensions on the market and ride very nice, anyone who says they ride that bad is a liar. They have good materials, very truck like features and appearance, and perform well.
5.3: 355 horse and 380 torque
6.2: 420 horse and 460 torque even with the lower ratings the 6.2 still outperforms ford and everyone else in every category.
Normally I'm not a higher trim guy but if it means a monster motor I'm all in.
Still love my expys, and still like the 4th gen and who knows it may grow on me. Everyone's got their own tastes.
