2020 Ford Explorer vs. Honda Pilot

New from the ground up, each new 2020 Ford Explorer in Southfield looks nothing like the outgoing model and now switches from front-wheel drive to a rear-wheel-drive platform. Unlike its top competitor, the Honda Pilot, the Explorer didn’t play it safe with an instantly recognizable design. Instead, this vehicle looks like no other vehicle in the range and its side profile is dominated by oversized wheel arches and wheels. This all-new SUV also offers the appearance of a Range Rover, thanks to a less boxy style and an all new angled roof.
