2019 Ford Explorer vs 2019 Chevy Traverse


If you are looking for a midsize SUV that comes standard with confidence, capacity, and flexibility, look no further than the new 2019 Ford Explorer. For 2019, the new Ford Explorer comes in 5 well-equipped models: Explorer, XLT, Limited, Sport and Platinum. All 5 Explorer models offer seating for up to 7 people with the 2nd-row 60/40 split-fold-flat seat and PowerFold 3rd-row seat, or seating up to 6 with the power-assist folding 2nd-row heated bucket seats and your choice of a pass-through to the 3rd row or a 2nd-row console. To carry up to 81.7 cu. ft. of gear, just fold the 2nd- and 3rd-row seats flat. Also, the hands-free foot-activated liftgate opens with a simple kick of your foot under the rear bumper, while the Intelligent Access key fob stays tucked in your pocket or bag. The new 2019 Ford Explorer is available with a choice of three different engines, one being the dynamic 365 horsepower 3.5-liter EcoBoost turbocharged engine.

As for the Explorer’s competition, most, like the new 2019 Chevrolet Traverse, pale by comparison. For example, the Ford Explorer offers a larger selection of engines than the Chevy Traverse. And although the new Traverse offers a decent selection of safety features including Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change, Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, and more, the new 2019 Ford Explorer simply offers more. The Ford Explorer offers available Advancetrac with Roll Stability Control, a system that enhances the Explorer’s stability in a wide range of driving conditions; Blind Spot Information System with Cross-traffic Alert, a feature that warns you when it detects a vehicle in one of your blind spots; Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning; Lane-Keeping System; Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers; and more.
