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
