The Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade are a a half-second slower to 60 than the Expedition and the Suburban/Yukon XL are almost a full second slower than the Expedition Max.

The Expedition feels more car-like and the interior of a regular Limited trim is better than an Escalade.
It only drops down to V4 when you're cruising or coasting. I've not driven the new Expedition yet. I will admit I am partial to GM products, and I especially dislike the Ford infotainment systems.
