Chevrolet Tahoe vs Ford Expedition: 0–60 and Quarter-Mile Comparison

This comparison looks at verified acceleration results for the Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition, covering 0–60 mph times, quarter-mile times, and broader acceleration comparisons across 35 Tahoe tests and 25 Expedition tests. It also gives context across the model-year ranges for Chevrolet and Ford full-size SUVs.

In production form, the Expedition holds the quicker headline results in both key measures: a 4.9-second 0–60 mph time and a 13.5-second quarter-mile in the 2025 Max Platinum (Stealth Performance Pack), compared with the Tahoe’s best production marks of 5.7 seconds and 14.1 seconds in the 2018 Premier RST Performance Package. The fastest overall 0–60 result differs slightly, with the non-production, modified 2018 Callaway Tahoe Premier RST SC560 at 4.8 seconds. Median 0–60 figures also favor the Expedition, 6.5 seconds to 7.5.

Methodology

All 0–60 and quarter-mile results are sourced from independently published road tests by reputable automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed times are not included. When multiple publications test the same vehicle, each run is listed separately. Production and non-production results are clearly distinguished throughout. Fastest 0–60 and fastest quarter-mile records are treated as independent measurements and may come from different tests, trims, or sources.
