2025 Ford Expedition vs 2025 Nissan Armada
Drivability and Capability
With the Nissan Armada’s upgrade, both brands of family SUVs have turbocharged engines with 400 or more horsepower this year. Armadas can tow more this year, but the rating is 8,500 pounds.
However, the Expedition is stronger with its 10-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive. It can pull up to 9,600 pounds -- a full 1,100 pounds more. Even the Expedition Max -- with its longer wheelbase -- can tow up to 9,000 pounds.
The 2025 Nissan Armada's new suspension aims for a smoother ride quality. Even so, the Ford maintains its advantage in ride refinement and composed handling. The Ford Expedition provides a smooth, comfortable ride, absorbing road imperfections well, even on rough surfaces.
Entertainment Connectivity and Driver Assistance
Both SUVs have large touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. While the Nissan has improved its dash tech, the Expedition SUV enjoys a better reputation for its intuitive and user-friendly interface.
The two brands provide a long list of standard safety devices. However, the Ford brand offers trailer coverage with its blind spot system. It also has numerous trailering devices, including the Pro Trailer Backup Assist. This device allows the driver to backup the SUV and the trailer separately by using a convenient dial.
Exterior and Interior Redesign of the 2025 Nissan Armada
For 2025, the Nissan Armada in Goodyear AZ has grown bigger and more accommodating. Nonetheless, it still doesn’t quite match the Expedition in terms of 2nd-row and 3rd-row space. Furthermore, the Armada’s makeover doesn’t improve its small cargo hold. It still lacks about four cubic feet compared to the Expedition. Of course, the Expedition Max is the best of the bunch with its full-size cargo hold.
As for style, Armada exteriors have a bolder grille,improved sheet metal and more interesting lines. Expeditions continue to rule their class with a ruggedly handsome exterior. King Ranch and Platinum Expeditions add more excitement with distinctive grille and wheel ornamentation. Learn more in this Expedition Review.
FEATURES COMPARISON
New Armadas in Goodyear AZ boast a modern design rendered with a higher quality of materials compared to the previous generation. High-tech features are balanced with more comforts such as an 8-way power driver’s chair and a 4-way power passenger chair.
Expeditions offer an equally contemporary design with more advanced features from the entry level package. Standards include a 10-way power driver chair and an 8-way power passenger chair. A power-adjustable console and a split-cargo gate for special access are among its exclusive features. 
Conclusion
With more exclusive features and an excellent reputation, the Ford Expedition continues to outshine the Nissan Armada, despite its upgrades. Expeditions are better prepared to handle the needs of big families and to pamper luxury buyers.
