2024 Ford Explorer
vs Other Makes

Why the Ford Explorer is Better Than the Competition

The Ford Explorer invented the quintessential family SUV and continues to deliver an affordable, spacious, and capable vehicle filled with modern tech and conveniences. When stacked against the competition, the Ford Explorer is, hands-down, the top contender in a crowded field of popular mid-size SUVs. Find out why with a test drive at Courtesy Ford of Rome.

Interior Layout & Comforts

The Ford Explorer is extremely versatile with an interior design that focuses on practical comforts suitable for families and workers alike. The Explorer's built tough nature means steady durability no matter what life throws your way. Like top competitors, the Explorer offers three rows of seating with a large cargo hold easily accessed through the rear liftgate. Selecting from one of the eight model options will vastly change the interior experience as you move up the trim level ladder, allowing for suitable options for drivers looking for a commercial vehicle or families looking for the ultimate comforts. You won't find as wide an appeal to different types of driving needs in top competitors.

Power & Performance

The Ford Explorer has two engine options: a standard 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder and a 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. Both engine options are more powerful than comparable engine selections from top competitors, including the Hyundai Palisade (291 horsepower), Kia Telluride (291 horsepower), Jeep Grand Cherokee L (290 or 357 horsepower), and Toyota Grand Highlander (265 or 362 horsepower). The Explorer is also rated to tow up to 5,600 pounds.

Advanced Technology

The Ford Explorer offers plenty of connected tech and advanced safety systems to make it competitive in a crowded field, often for much less than competitors like the Jeep Grand Cherokee or the Toyota Grand Highlander. Standard on every model is a large touchscreen infotainment system with staples like Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
