My wife has a expedition and I have always had trucks so I can give some experience. I like my truck much better. The expedition has its uses but 99/100 times the 3rd row is folded and we only use the 2nd row as we only have 2 kids. The folded flat 3rd row is awesome for dogs because we have 2 kids. For everything else we take the truck. I have a hard folding cover on my truck, my current truck is the 3rd one I have owned with hard cover. it's great for anything, we put diaper bag back there groceries. I stuff it full of tree limbs, bush trimmings, trash and I dont have to worry about it flying out. If I need my bed the cover folds open and I have full use of my bed love it. The 1500s when the seats are folded up are great for dogs my dad had a 19 1500 (he traded it for a 2500 to pull his camper a 35ft toy hauler) he use to fold the back seat up and his 120lb golden doodle loved it back there. The 1500s to me ride better and handle better than the larger SUVs if I had to make a invasive maneuver on the highway i would rather be in the truck it stiffer less body roll. All around if you dont need the 3rd tow get the truck and never look back.
