2021 Ford Explorer vs 2021 Honda Pilot Comparison

The new Ford Explorer is updated for 2021, offering flexible interior space and a new athletic build. It features new trims and combines steel skid plates, limited-slip rear differential, all-terrain tires with lifted ride height to make off-road exploration less hectic. The new Ford SUV also comes with more rugged exterior styling cues and intuitive interior design. The car has a heated steering wheel, heated seats in lower trims, eight-way power-adjustable front passenger’s seat, and an available cargo management system for excellent comfort and convenience. Additionally, it provides a terrain management system™, intelligent 4WD, rear-wheel drive, and towing and trailer sway control to maximize performance.

Compared to the 2021 Honda Pilot, the 2021 Ford Explorer provides more interior space, better fuel economy, more engine power, multiple powertrain choices, and greater cargo volume. It also offers a 10-speed automatic transmission, which is more responsive than the 9-speed automatic transmission the Pilot provides.
