Premier Cape Cod
The gas Grand Wagoneer L carries 42.6 cubic feet behind its third row. The Expedition MAX Active has 37.4 cubic feet behind its third row.
For Cape Cod shoppers who tow with a full cabin, the 2027 Jeep Grand Wagoneer offers up to 10,000 lbs of properly equipped gas towing. Its headline gas tow rating is 400 lbs above Ford's published maximum for the properly equipped standard-length Expedition 4x4. The Grand Wagoneer also offers 27.9 cubic feet behind the third row in its standard body, while Ford's standard Expedition Active lists 22.9 cubic feet of optimized room there.
Both are three-row full-size SUVs with a choice of standard or extended length. Jeep calls its longer body Grand Wagoneer L. Ford calls its longer version Expedition MAX. A standard-body comparison answers one set of questions for the buyer. The long-body comparison matters for a family that keeps the back row filled and carries luggage at the same time.
| Size and cargo | 2027 Jeep | 2027 Ford |
|---|---|---|
| Standard body length | 216.1 inches | 209.9 inches |
| Extended body length | 228.1 inches | 221.7 inches |
| Cargo behind row three, standard body | 27.9 cu ft | 22.9 cu ft optimized, Active |
| Cargo behind row three, long body | 42.6 cu ft | 37.4 cu ft optimized, MAX Active |
Ford's shorter footprint is a real advantage if a driveway or garage in Barnstable limits the length of the vehicle. Jeep has the advantage in published room with the third row upright. The Jeep cargo figures and the Ford Active and MAX figures are manufacturer measurements. Ford identifies its Active cargo volume as optimized.
| Item | Grand Wagoneer gas | Expedition |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six | 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 |
| Published output | 420 hp and 468 lb-ft | 400 hp and 480 lb-ft for standard EcoBoost |
| Manufacturer's headline gas towing maximum | Up to 10,000 lbs, properly equipped | Up to 9,600 lbs, standard body 4x4 with Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package |
Ford also lists an available high-output 440-horsepower EcoBoost V6 on eligible trims. A buyer drawn to Ford's higher output has a clear reason to look at that setup. Jeep delivers 420 horsepower in its gas Hurricane without a move up to a separate high-output gas option.
Ford's 9,600-lb figure is tied to specific equipment. The 2027 Ford towing guide shows lower limits for other axle and drivetrain setups. Stretching to an Expedition MAX 4x4 changes the Ford ceiling to 9,000 lbs with the proper equipment. Jeep's 10,000-lb figure is a gas lineup maximum from its 2027 capability page. A headline rating is one reason to shortlist a vehicle. The actual trailer and the specific SUV's payload and towing equipment settle the match.
When a family takes its boat to Plymouth Harbor, the weight of the loaded boat and trailer matters. The passengers in the SUV, their gear and the weight carried at the hitch are part of the decision too. A heavier trailer is where the Jeep's higher headline rating deserves attention. For a smaller trailer, both vehicles may have enough capability in the right build.
The EPA rates the standard gas Grand Wagoneer 4WD at 17 mpg city, 21 highway and 18 combined. The rear-wheel-drive Jeep is rated at 17 city, 22 highway and 19 combined. Jeep EPA ratings by drivetrain are separate from the tow ratings. The 2027 EPA record for the Expedition 4WD lists 15 mpg city, 22 highway and 18 combined. Those EPA driving cycles reflect different types of travel. A loaded trailer will affect consumption in either SUV.
The new Jeep's basic coverage generally ends at 36,000 miles or three years, whichever comes first, under the applicable Mopar warranty. Ford's basic limited warranty uses the same time and mileage limit under Ford's coverage terms. The warranty comparison is about the basic factory term. Routine oil, tires and other wear items still belong in the ownership budget.
The Grand Wagoneer can seat seven with second-row captain's chairs or eight with the bench. Ford offers a second-row bench on Active. When the vehicle also needs to carry luggage, the third-row-up cargo figure makes the comparison much more useful than the biggest cargo number in the brochure.
The Jeep has available dual-view FamCam, which puts a view of the rear seats on the front display. Available rear entertainment uses independent touchscreens for the second row. Ford gives front occupants a standard 24-inch panoramic display and 13.2-inch center display on Active. That's an attractive setup for the driver who wants a broad, high-mounted screen. Ford also offers BlueCruise hands-free highway driving on eligible builds and routes, subject to the system's conditions.
| Manufacturer starting MSRP | Price |
|---|---|
| 2027 Jeep Grand Wagoneer | $65,000 |
| 2027 Ford Expedition | $63,920 |
Ford’s published starting MSRP is $1,080 lower. Both figures are manufacturer starting prices, before applicable destination, options, taxes, title and registration. An equipment match changes the price comparison. A Ford with the towing package and the Jeep with the seating and towing equipment you want are the useful vehicles to put side by side.

The Jeep wins on published third-row-up cargo in these matched length classes. That's an advantage for an airport pickup or a weekend trip from Dartmouth with a full crew. The standard Jeep's published advantage over standard Expedition Active is 5.0 cubic feet behind the back row. The long Jeep's published advantage over MAX Active is 5.2 cubic feet. Jeep also has the higher manufacturer headline gas towing figure.
Ford is 6.2 inches shorter in the standard class and 6.4 inches shorter in the long class and has the lower published starting MSRP. If indoor parking sets the limit, the difference can be more important than the cargo numbers. Its available 440-horsepower option is also worth a look if peak engine output is the deciding feature.
A family heading for Sesuit Harbor with a larger boat and regular third-row passengers can benefit from the Grand Wagoneer's towing capability and room behind the third row. The standard Jeep offers both in the shorter body. The L gives a family that frequently fills all three rows a deeper cargo area.
For a household whose everyday parking space at home in Marshfield is the harder limit, the Expedition's shorter body is useful. The standard Grand Wagoneer is the shorter of the two Jeeps. It gives the family a third row without the added length of the L. Our 2027 Grand Wagoneer specs list both Jeep lengths and the available seating layouts.

The standard Expedition is 209.9 inches long, while the standard Grand Wagoneer measures 216.1 inches. The Ford is 6.2 inches shorter. In a garage, compare both against the clear depth with the door shut, and keep room for the walk around the bumper and the liftgate's movement.
The Grand Wagoneer L offers 42.6 cubic feet behind row three, and Ford lists 37.4 cubic feet of optimized room for Expedition MAX Active. The published difference is 5.2 cubic feet. Bring a folded stroller or luggage to compare usable shape as well as the volume figures.
Ford's 9,600-lb maximum applies to a properly equipped standard-length 4x4 with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package. The comparable Expedition MAX 4x4 tops out at 9,000 lbs. Check axle and drivetrain details against the Ford towing guide before matching either body to the loaded trailer.
Yes. Ford lists a 440-horsepower high-output 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 on eligible models, while the regular EcoBoost is rated at 400 horsepower. The Jeep's gas Hurricane is rated at 420 horsepower. Use the exact equipment sheet when comparing a Ford listing with a particular Grand Wagoneer.
These are the longer bodies in each lineup. Expedition MAX is 221.7 inches long and Grand Wagoneer L is 228.1 inches long, a difference of 6.4 inches. Both add storage behind the third row versus their own standard body, so check how much gear you carry with that row upright.
Factory starting MSRP is $63,920 for Expedition and $65,000 for Grand Wagoneer. The difference in factory starting prices is $1,080 before destination or options. Compare the specific body, seat layout and tow package you need, because those can change the price gap at the dealership.
Start with a bench-equipped SUV and count all eight belts. Jeep offers an eight-seat layout on eligible builds in either length, and Ford offers a bench on Active. A family with eight people and luggage should compare the long-body cargo areas with every row set for passengers.
For the Jeep side of the price comparison, the standard gas body spans $65,000 to $101,400 and the L spans $68,000 to $104,400, both before destination.
