GMC Yukon vs. Nissan Armada vs. Ford Expedition

Are you in the market for a powerful, spacious SUV to drive all over Archbald, PA? Then you should visit Eynon Buick GMC and check out the GMC Yukon. This stunning, rugged three-row SUV has the performance, comfort, and style that just about any driver could want. But how does it stack up to the competition? After all, models like the Nissan Armada and Ford Expedition bring plenty of positive features to the table. But we think after you take a close look at all three vehicles, you will want to buy or lease a new Yukon.

Yukon vs Armada

One standout quality of the Yukon is that it comes with three exciting engine options (all paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission) for drivers in Scranton to pick from:

  • Standard 5.3-liter V-8 gas engine (355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque)
  • Available 6.2-liter V-8 engine (420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque)
  • Available Duramax® 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel engine (277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque)

Meanwhile, the Nissan Armada has just one engine option:

  • 5.6-liter V-8 engine (400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque)

The Yukon has one engine option with more horsepower than the Armada and two options with more torque. The variety of engine options for the Yukon makes it easier to tailor your selection to meet your needs, while the Nissan Armada gives you just one option. It's also worth noting that the Yukon diesel engine has a stellar fuel economy of 27 miles per gallon highway. If fuel economy is a deciding factor for you, the Nissan Armada, which has a highway fuel economy of just 19 miles per gallon, might not cut it.

The Yukon is also much more spacious than the Nissan Armada. The Yukon has a maximum cargo volume of 122.9 cubic feet, giving you a massive amount of space to pack luggage, camping gear, and anything else you need. The Nissan Armada provides just 95.4 cubic feet of cargo volume.

Yukon vs Expedition

The Ford Expedition has a standard turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 380 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. This engine is comparable to the engine options available for the Yukon, but it doesn't really surpass them; its torque is very close to that of the two optional Yukon engines, and has lower horsepower than the 6.2-liter V-8 Yukon engine. Once again, the Yukon significantly surpasses the Ford Expedition in cargo volume. The Ford Expedition comes standard with a maximum available cargo volume of 104.6 cubic feet. This falls well short of the 122.9 cubic feet provided by the Yukon. If you are moving to a new house in Dunmore and want to make the most of your SUV's cargo volume, the Yukon is the clear winner.

The Yukon also offers a significant advantage in driver and front passenger comfort with its standard 10-way power driver seat and standard eight-way front passenger seat. The Expedition only comes standard with an eight-way power driver seat and a four-way manual front passenger seat. For long drives to and from Carbondale, PA, the Yukon makes it easier for you and your front passenger to make your seats as comfortable as possible.
