Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost V6 4WD Limited MAX AT (2018) vs Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 3.0 Diesel AT (White Pearl) (2018): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer looking for the most powerful and spacious SUV, the 2018 Ford Expedition Limited MAX AT is the clear choice. It costs ₱4,258,000—about ₱404,000 more than the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado—but it delivers 375 PS and 640 Nm of torque, far surpassing the Prado’s 163 PS and 410 Nm. The Expedition’s 10‑speed automatic transmission, twin‑turbo V6 engine, and 4WD drivetrain make it better suited for heavy towing or off‑road adventures. Its body‑on‑frame construction and 5‑door layout with a 2+3+3 seating configuration provide ample cargo space for large families or groups. The Prado, priced at ₱3,854,000, offers a more economical diesel engine and a 5‑speed automatic but only seats 2+3+2, limiting rear passenger capacity. If budget is a primary concern and you need fewer seats or lighter duty use, the Prado may be preferable. However, for maximum performance, passenger capacity, and modern drivetrain technology, the Expedition is worth the extra investment. Both vehicles share a 3‑year/100,000 km warranty and 4WD capability, but the Expedition’s higher power output and larger interior make it more suitable for demanding driving conditions and larger families.
