Full-size SUVs have long been serving as the family vehicle of choice if you need to haul a lot of people and/or cargo while towing a boat or a camper without breaking a sweat. This segment is as competitive as ever, and two of our favorite full-sizers are the high-tech 2025 Ford Expedition and the hybrid 2025 Toyota Sequoia. Let’s see how these two compare.
2025 Ford Expedition
The Ford Expedition gets a thorough refresh for the 2025 model year. In addition to updated aesthetics inside and out, it has a new off-road-ready Tremor model, a split liftgate, a new infotainment system, and wider availability of the BlueCruise hands-free system. Pricing starts at $63,695.
Ford Expedition Highlights
Bigger interior: The Ford Expedition has more cargo space and third-row legroom than the Toyota Sequoia. Ford also offers an extended-length Expedition Max with even more space. This is the one to get if you’ll actually use the third row every day; your passengers will thank you.
BlueCruise: Ford’s BlueCruise semi-autonomous driving system allows for hands-free highway driving on 97 percent of controlled access highways across the U.S. and Canada. It’s available on every trim, and Toyota has no such hands-free system.
Split liftgate: The Ford Split Gate on the 2025 Expedition keeps things from rolling out of the cargo area when you open the hatch. It also creates a little bench for tailgating, and the available Cargo Tailgate Manager can work as a backrest, shelf, or table.

2025 Toyota Sequoia
The Toyota Sequoia has the distinction of being the only hybrid in the full-size SUV class. Granted, it’s a hybrid tuned for performance and towing muscle more than frugal efficiency, but it’s still more efficient than most of its rivals. Pricing starts at $64,120.
Toyota Sequoia Highlights
Turbo hybrid powertrain: The i-FORCE MAX twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain in the Toyota Sequoia produces more power and torque than the base turbo V6 in the Ford Expedition while returning better fuel economy. It’s hard to argue against more power and lower fuel costs.
Six trims: The Toyota Sequoia has more variety in its model range than the Ford Expedition. With a Western-inspired 1794 Edition, a highly luxurious Capstone trim, a rugged TRD Pro model, and three more trims in the mix, there’s a Sequoia for everyone in the market for a full-size SUV.
Load-leveling rear suspension: This option helps level the Sequoia by lowering or raising its height according to driving conditions. It helps keep this big SUV stable, especially while towing heavy loads.

Similarities
The size, price, and tow ratings of these two SUVs are pretty similar. They also both have seating for up to eight and a turbo V6 under the hood, albeit with a hybrid system in the Sequoia.
Conclusion
We love the power and efficiency of the Toyota Sequoia’s turbo hybrid powertrain, but the Ford Expedition is generally a better family SUV. The extra interior space, two available body lengths, and split liftgate enhance the Expedition’s versatility, and the hands-free driving option is something you can’t get in the Sequoia.
