The 2000' Chevrolet Suburban and the Ford Excursion may seem to be closely related on first impression but just take a closer look and you will notice many differences. The main differences that cause competition between the two are size, cost, fuel economy, and engine power. The first difference most everyone heard about the two vehicles is size. The Excursion is made two inches taller and seven inches wider. With this simple statement you may have seen the Excursion being a better vehicle, but the suburban has qualities that contrast to the Excursion's. Another difference between the two vehicles is the price. A standard excursion may cost up to 3-4 thousand more than the suburban does which is one way that makes the suburban a more cost efficient vehicle but it is not the only way. Next is the fuel economy. The Excursion gets about 3 miles per gallon less than the Suburban in city driving and even worse on the highway. It may not seem like much at first but in the long run there will be an enormous amount more money spent for gas on the Excursion rather than the Suburban. Finally there is the engine power. The 2000 Suburban comes standard with a 5.4 liter V-8 while the excursion comes standard with a 5.5 liter V-8. The excursion has a noticeable amount of more towing capacity and torque but it also makes for a more irritable engine noise in the cabin of the vehicle. The Suburban has a slightly less towing capacity than the Excursion but has slightly better acceleration and top speed with more responsive handling. So when in comes down to choosing between the two, you will have to decide if you want a slightly larger vehicle with more cargo space and a better towing capacity, or a vehicle with a more comfortable ride and handling system that is also much more cost efficient than the other.
