01 / Verdict

Expedition or Land Cruiser: who leads on what

Each line is the maker’s top figure for each model across its configurations. A lead is on that best configuration, so it depends on cab, bed, engine, axle and options; the closest matching trucks are compared below. Only a maker’s own figure decides a lead.

02 / Side by side

Every figure, group by group

Each cell is the range across the maker’s 2025 configurations of that model, with the small number of the document it comes from. A figure that is an estimate, an owners’ report or a third-party figure wears its mark and never decides a lead; a group where one model has no maker figure says so.

  • A figure marked “with” needs that factory package; one without is the configuration as it comes.
