Ford Explorer vs The Competition

Comparing the Ford Explorer vs. the Chevrolet Equinox in Wilmington

Here at Garnet Ford near Glen Mills and West Chester we want to ensure you and your family are getting the best SUV.  While there are many capable options on the market, the Ford Explorer gets you more bang for your buck.  The Ford Explorer is often compared the Chevrolet Equinox.  While both offer SUV space and versatility we want to share some key difference, so you can make a decision you are 100% confident about.

What's the Difference between the Ford Explorer and Chevy Equinox?

One of the major differences between these two SUVs is the Ford Explorer is equipped with All-wheel-drive while the Chevy Equinox only has Front-wheel-drive, ultimately making the Ford Explorer a more reliable ride for you and your family in Boothwyn.  The Ford Explorer has a 6-cylinder engine, and the Chevy Equinox only has a 4-cylinder engine, making the Ford Explorer a more fun and powerful drive.

For more safety, the front seat belts of the Ford Explorer are height-adjusted to accommodate a large variety of driver and passenger heights.  A better fit can prevent injuries, and the increased comfort also helps passengers buckle up.  The Chevrolet Equinox does not offer height-adjustable front seat belts.

One key difference is the Ford Explorer's corrosion warranty is unlimited miles longer than the Equinox's 100,000 miles warranty.  The Explorer has a standard "limp home system" to help keep drivers from being stranded if most or all of the engine's coolant is lost.  The engine will run on only half of its cylinders at a time, reduce its power and light a warning lamp on the dashboard so the driver can get to a service station for repairs.  The Equinox doesn't offer a lost coolant limp home mode.

Overall the Ford Explorer is a more versatile, safer vehicle for you and your family.  Visit Garnet Ford near Aston, Media, Marcus Hook, and Avondale to test drive a Ford Explorer today and see if it is the right fit for you and your family!
