In the land of big roads, there are even bigger expectations for vehicles that traverse them. Full-size SUVs aren’t the strongest sellers, but customers who need or want the space appreciate their existence. And—not that this is cheap—you don’t need to spend more than $100,000 to get into one. For 2026, the Ford Expedition , Nissan Armada , Jeep Grand Wagoneer , and GMC Yukon Denali all offer three rows and a variety of interpretations of an SUV for the family on the go.

Of course, there’s no getting around the sheer size or fuel-economy ratings when you consider buying a car this big. With value and efficiency in mind, which one of the four full-size SUVs we just mentioned presents the best overall package?
Six- and eight-cylinder engines rule this space; no engineer would trust a gasping four-cylinder to adequately motivate these body-on-frame mountains. Four-wheel drive comes as standard across them all. You can see all the engine sizes and outputs listed in the spec chart at the end of this story, but just for fun, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer is the quickest to 60 mph at 5.4 seconds, with the Nissan Armada’s 6.3 seconds being the slowest.

The Armada, at 6,082 pounds, is the heaviest member of this comparison field. It’s followed by the 6,079-pound Grand Wagoneer, the 6,032-pound GMC Yukon Denali, and the 5,844-pound Ford Expedition. And although we did not get to try out hauling and towing capacities during this test, the Ford can manage 1,344 and 9,200 pounds, the GMC 1,450 and 8,000 pounds, the Jeep 1,321 and 10,000 pounds, and the Nissan 1,466 and 8,500 pounds.
As for fuel economy , something that ought to be on everyone’s mind: The Jeep has the best mileage of 17/23/19 mpg city/highway/combined, followed by the Ford’s 15/22/18 mpg, then the Nissan’s 17/19/16 mpg, and ending with the GMC’s 14/18/16 mpg.
