From their massive cabins to their premium power, everything is supersized in a full-size SUV. The GMC Yukon XL vs Ford Expedition debate is often top of mind for full-size SUV shoppers. We're sharing the ways the GMC SUV shines at Gillman Chevrolet GMC.

Interior Volume

There is ample space to stretch out in each of these full-size SUVs, which can each be configured for seven- or eight-passenger seating. However, the 2026 GMC Yukon XL provides extra room. It features up to 184.1 cubic feet of passenger volume, while the Ford Expedition only offers up to 171.8 cubic feet of passenger volume. The GMC SUV includes up to 44.5 inches of front legroom, while the Ford SUV only has 43.9 inches of front legroom.

Cargo Capacity

The extra space in the 2026 GMC Yukon XL also translates to more room for cargo. The full-size SUV features an ample 41.5 cubic-foot cargo area behind the third row, while the Ford SUV can only carry up to 22.9 cubic feet of cargo behind the third row. With the third row down, the GMC SUV can carry up to 93.8 cubic feet of cargo, while the Ford SUV can only carry up to 69.9 cubic feet. If you fold both the rear seats down, you can carry a whopping 144.7 cubic feet of cargo in the GMC Yukon XL, as opposed to just 108.5 cubic feet in the Ford Expedition. Even the larger Ford Expedition MAX can only carry up to 123.1 cubic feet of cargo.

Intuitive Technology

There's no denying that new GMC SUVs are high-tech and the Ford Expedition is as well. However, it's tough to compete with the 2026 GMC Yukon XL, which comes standard with an expansive 16.8-inch advanced color LCD display, as opposed to the 13.2-inch display in the Ford SUV. The GMC SUV also comes standard with Google built-in capabilities, which isn't the case for the Ford SUV.
