Ford Expedition vs Toyota Sequoia

The Expedition tows 9,600 lb, the Sequoia 9,520 lb. Ground clearance reaches 8.8 in on the Expedition and 9.1 in on the Sequoia. Ford Expedition and Toyota Sequoia side by side, 2025 model year, from the makers’ own documents.

This page compares the 2025 Ford Expedition (Expedition 5th gen, 2025–present) and 2025 Toyota Sequoia (Sequoia XK80, 2023–present): the newest model year in which both have maker figures, in US-market units. Newer model years in our data (Sequoia 2026) have too few maker figures to compare, so the page uses the newest year in which both have enough.

01 / Verdict

Expedition or Sequoia: 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.

Towing and GCWR
The Expedition tows 9,600 lb, the Sequoia 9,520 lb. Ford’s documents disagree about a towing figure, so no leader is named.
Payload and GVWR
Only the Sequoia has a payload figure in our data: it carries 1,730 lb of payload. The Expedition has none, so no leader is named.
Ground clearance and angles
The Expedition has 8.8 in of ground clearance, the Sequoia 9.1 in. The Sequoia leads by 0.3 in on its best configuration. At the best configuration: approach angle Expedition 21.5°, Sequoia 23.0°; breakover angle Expedition 19.3°, Sequoia not in our data; departure angle Expedition 23.5°, Sequoia 20.0°.

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.

  • Each is its model’s lowest trim with four-wheel drive (four doors where the data splits by body), with the first engine and gearbox the maker lists for it.
  • A figure marked “with” needs that factory package; one without is the configuration as it comes.

Which has more payload, the Expedition or the Sequoia?

Only the Sequoia has a payload figure in our data: it carries 1,730 lb of payload. The Expedition has none, so no leader is named. This is the maker’s top figure for each model across its 2025 configurations; what a given truck can do depends on its cab, bed, engine, axle and options.

Which has more ground clearance, the Expedition or the Sequoia?

The Expedition has 8.8 in of ground clearance, the Sequoia 9.1 in. The Sequoia leads by 0.3 in on its best configuration. This is the maker’s top figure for each model across its 2025 configurations; what a given truck can do depends on its cab, bed, engine, axle and options.

How do the Expedition and the Sequoia compare in size?

Length: Expedition 209.9–221.7 in, Sequoia 208.1 in; wheelbase: Expedition 122.5–131.5 in, Sequoia 122.0 in. The range runs across cab, bed and wheelbase choices.

Which model years does this Expedition vs Sequoia comparison use?

This page compares the 2025 Ford Expedition (Expedition 5th gen, 2025–present) and 2025 Toyota Sequoia (Sequoia XK80, 2023–present): the newest model year in which both have maker figures, in US-market units. Newer model years in our data (Sequoia 2026) have too few maker figures to compare, so the page uses the newest year in which both have enough.
