2021 GMC Yukon Reviews SummaryWith the redesigned 2021 GMC Yukon, several good things happen. First, GMC improves passenger space and cargo space by stretching the wheelbase and switching to an independent rear suspension design. Second, those same changes, coupled with a new adaptive air suspension option, enhance the full-size SUV’s ride and handling. Third, payload ratings rise by as much as 100 pounds. Fourth, the Yukon gets a significant technology upgrade. But at the same time, the new Yukon takes a couple of steps backward. Tow ratings can’t match the outgoing Yukon, and in some cases, fuel economy numbers worsen rather than improve. Still, all things considered, the new 2021 Yukon represents advancement. | |
2022 Ford Expedition Reviews SummaryCertain cars garner a surprising amount of attention. While driving a 2022 Ford Expedition Limited in Stone Blue Metallic with one of the Stealth Edition option packages, we received numerous compliments on this SUV, and it was all related to the paint color and the wheels. Fortunately for Ford, the 2022 Expedition’s beauty is more than skin deep. This is a terrific full-size SUV in all ways but one. | |

Look and feel
The Yukon stands out with its rugged yet refined aesthetic, offering a premium feel without the luxury badge. In contrast, the Ford Expedition boasts a fresh face and revised styling for 2022. Both SUVs offer different interpretations of style and luxury, catering to different preferences.
Performance
CarGurus rates the 2021 GMC Yukon at 6 out of 10 for performance, while the 2022 Ford Expedition scores 7 out of 10. The Yukon offers a range of powerful engine options, excellent for everyday driving. However, the Expedition excels in towing capacity and provides a comfortable ride and ample torque from its twin-turbocharged V6 engine.
Form and function
The 2021 GMC Yukon provides ample passenger and cargo space, with improved comfort and functionality compared with its predecessor thanks to its independent rear suspension. Its trunk capacity ranges from 25.5 cubic feet with the third-row seats in place, to a huge 144.7 cubic feet with all rear seats folded.
In comparison, the 2022 Ford Expedition offers generous seating space with improved rear-seat entertainment options and a larger cargo hold in the Expedition Max configuration. Cargo capacity ranges from 19.3 cubic feet behind the third row, to 121.5 cubic feet with all rear seats folded, meaning it’s not quite a match for the Yukon in this regard.
Technology
The 2021 GMC Yukon excels in technology with advanced infotainment systems, wireless connectivity options, and a range of safety features. The 2022 Ford Expedition offers next-generation infotainment systems, including Amazon Fire TV for rear-seat entertainment, but users may find some quirks with its system functionality.
Safety
Both the 2021 GMC Yukon and the 2022 Ford Expedition come equipped with a suite of advanced safety features. The Yukon offers various driver assistance technologies, while the Expedition introduced new safety enhancements like Road Edge Detection and BlueCruise hands-free driving technology.
