Choosing SUV: Escalade VS Expedition or … ?

[Swisswatchcollector]

Hi all, i am choosing a big family SUV with a spacious interior, which is Expedition. Would also love it with a beautiful exterior which is Escalade imho. I travel often and was able to rent Esclades, Expedition, GMC Yukon and Lincoln Navigator. Expedition seems to be the most convenient to use in terms of interior ergonomics, seat/steering wheel adjustments, but materials of interior is on the lower end and exterior isn’t the most beautiful of other suv competitors.

Escalade is the most beautiful, but steering wheel/seat adjustment range still can’t give correct settings for a fully comfortable position (i am 6,5 feet tall, and i think steering wheel should be able to come out more towards driver). Also, interior isn’t that spacious as you would expect from a car that size. The way how center console is designed isn’t the best in terms of ergonomics, it’s like only good for cup holders and nothing else you can put there.

I am sure that users of this forum have huge experiences with large american suvs and would love to hear what are your thoughts on this, and what would be your choice? Thank you

Welcome to the site. If it was e, I'd split the two and try the Navigator. Better interior materials (leather ect...) While still having the steering wheel and seat adjustments you want.

I was going to say the same thing. If you like the ergonomics of the expedition, try the navigator. I would also recommend you look at the jeep grand wagoneer. It gives a pretty premium feel and has air suspension, i think that it also has the best engine out of the bunch in the 3.0 hurricane.
