Chevy's changes for 2025 aren't as drastic as the Ford's tweaks to the Expedition, but they are still a big deal. On the outside, we get more expressive headlights and tail lights, bigger wheel options (because BIGGER is always better?), and some subtle tweaks to the bumpers. Under the hood, the main change is to the diesel engine: it's GM's revised 3.0L inline-6 turbodiesel rated for 305 HP and 495 lb-ft and you can now get it in the off-road Z71 trim. GM says it took a while for them to re-work the cooling systems in order to shoehorn the long engine in the Z71 and still have the tow hooks you'd expect.
Don't want an oil burner? There's still the same 5.3L V8 or 6.2L V8 as before.
On the inside the big change is to the dashboard where we find a more modern design and MASSIVE screens. The standard center screen is a nearly 18-inch touchscreen while the instrument cluster is handled by an 11-inch LCD. The combined screen real estate is less than we find in the "new" Expedition, but the touchscreen portion is significantly bigger so if you're a fan of CarPlay, Android Auto, or just expansive Google maps, you'll likely prefer the Chevy system. It's also worth noting: the Chevy can have a HUD while the Expedition's 24-inch driver screen takes the place of navigation, HUD and cluster all-in-one.
Bottom line: The Chevy's interior and demeanor is now the truckiest in the segment. Ford went in a more "CUV" like direction with the Expedition and the Wagoneer has always been more "Super-sized Grand Cherokee" than "SUV RAM".
What do you think? Based on looks alone, would you get this or the updated Ford?
