Ford Explorer vs Chevy Equinox

Performance

When Walterboro want power from their mid-size SUV, the Ford Explorer provides it with ease, and it gives you more engine choices than the Chevy Traverse does. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 of the Explorer has more horsepower and torque than the V6 of the Traverse, but if you want more efficiency, the Ford Explorer offers a turbo-four that gets more miles per gallon in cities while having more torque than the lone Traverse engine. That extra torque can help with acceleration as well as towing.

Interiors

While many Johns Island, SC drivers looking at a mid-size SUV are doing so because of parental duties, there may be times you're driving other adults around. If that's the case, your passengers will find more first and second-row legroom in the Ford Explorer as well as more headroom in each of the three rows than what the Chevy Traverse provides. Want to make your vehicle unique? The Ford Explorer provides more interior customization options than the Traverse, so you can enjoy the stylish Desert Copper seats and choose between cloth or leather in the Ford SUV.

Safety

Passenger safety is vital in any car, but we know that it's a priority of mid-size SUV drivers. Well, the Ford Explorer and Chevy Traverse both scored well on NHTSA crash test ratings thanks to smart airbag placement and strong frames, but the Explorer has several safety systems not in the Chevy Traverse. For example, it has a front-facing 180-degree camera that helps when pulling out into a street, and it can help you parallel park with enhanced active park assist, which the Traverse can't do.
