2022 Ford Explorer vs 2022 Honda Pilot
For the 2022 model year, the Ford Explorer for sale at Brattleboro Ford offers a new ST-Line trim with sporty styling and makes the rear-wheel drive available on the ST trims. In addition, the Timberline model is now available with a second-row bench, and the High-end King Ranch and Platinum models can be equipped with either a pair of captain’s chairs or a second-row bench seat. The three-row SUV offers a sturdy turbocharged base engine for strong acceleration. It also has a standard tri-zone automatic climate control system and seats with massage functions. It continues to come with advanced Ford Co-Pilot360 active safety features, including tech like intelligent adaptive cruise control, auto high-beam headlamps, and a lane-keeping system. In addition, a strong-sounding Bang & Olufsen premium audio system and SYNC® 3 infotainment system are available.
Compared to the 2022 Honda Pilot, the 2022 Ford Explorer has the upper hand with a lower starting price, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and better fuel economy on the highway. The Explorer offers up to 5,600 pounds towing capability, but the Honda SUV can only tow 3,500 lbs. In addition, it provides a more potent standard engine: a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder that makes 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The Ford SUV offers a greater passenger volume and more cargo space. Shoppers can get pedestrian-detection capabilities, rear automatic braking, and a surround-view parking camera on the Ford Explorer but can’t find it on the Honda Pilot.
