Competitive Sales Comparison (USA)

Ford Expedition sales grew 11 percent to 21,560 units to place second, enabling FoMoCo’s full-size SUV duo to move ahead of the GMC Yukon family for the first time in over two years. The Expedition (see running Ford Expedition sales) includes sales of the regular-length Expedition and extended-length Expedition Max.

The Chevy Tahoe and Suburban again led the segment on a combined basis, as has been the case for two decades, while posting a 20 percent decrease in sales to 33,008 units. Individually, the regular-length Tahoe (see running Chevy Tahoe sales) placed first, with a 14 percent dip in sales to 23,324 units. The Expedition followed in second. Sales of the regular-length GMC Yukon (see running GMC Yukon sales) and the extended-length Yukon XL (see running GMC Yukon XL sales) are combined this quarter, with the SUV family posting a cumulative nine percent slip to 18,013 units, falling behind Ford this time around. Meanwhile, the Jeep Wagoneer, comprised of both the regular-length Wagoneer and longer Wagoneer L (but not including the Grand Wagoneer), was next with a 136 percent leap in sales for 13,131 deliveries as the newest model here continues to gain traction in the marketplace. The extended-length Suburban (see running Chevy Suburban sales) saw a 30 percent slide in sales to 9,684 units. The redesigned Toyota Sequoia was next with a 36 percent upswing to 5,958 units, and the Nissan Armada finished last with a 45 percent dive for 3,977 deliveries.

Combined, the Chevy SUVs led the mainstream full-size SUV segment in terms of sales volume, followed by Ford duo and GMC family. The four GM full-size SUV nameplates accounted for 51,021 deliveries for a commanding 53 percent segment share, representing over half of all sales in this space.

The full-size mainstream SUV segment decreased two percent to 95,647 units during Q1 2024, meaning Expedition family sales outperformed the segment average.

The Ford Authority Take

For the first time in over two years, sales of the Ford Expedition family pushed it past its crosstown rival, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL duo. Expedition production increased in January, in February, and in March, perhaps helping Ford gain much-needed sales. However, production decreased in April, so we’ll see what kind of impact that has down the line.

An extensive reworking of Ford’s full-size three-row SUV is on the way for the 2025 model year, perhaps packed with enough changes to make a run at the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban duo.

About Ford Expedition

The 2024 Ford Expedition gains a new exterior color dubbed Wild Green as a no-cost option, along with the new Excursion Package, which adds floor liners, the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package and the Advanced Cargo Manager with black roof rail crossbars, along with suspension/drivetrain upgrades such as ControlTrac with eLSD, a 3.73-geared electronic limited-slip differential, and the Continuous Controlled Damping (CCD) system with suspension road preview. The 2024 Expedition gains one new exterior color, known as Wild Green, but ditches two colors, namely Infinite Blue Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and Forged Green Metallic.

The upcoming 2025 Ford Expedition stands to offer a handful of changes for the soon-to-be-refreshed SUV, including 24-inch wheels, redesigned taillights, and some Range Rover-like styling aesthetics along with some F-150 and Explorer touches and a split liftgate.

Furthermore, its interior, spotted for the very first time, reveals a coast-to-coast display like that found in the all-new 2024 Lincoln Nautilus. A potential Timberline has also been spotted, as well as the Expedition’s front end.
