• 2020 Honda Pilot

Explorer vs. Pilot: Fuel Economy

Despite being more powerful, the Ford Explorer also promises greater efficiency than the Honda Pilot. Whereas the Pilot hits an EPA-estimated 19 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, the Explorer achieves up to 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. And that’s not to mention the Explorer’s hybrid powertrain option, which can go more than 500 miles between fill-ups and still tows up to 5,000 pounds.

Explorer vs. Pilot: Cargo Space

Cargo space is a must-have for many Pekin drivers, and the Explorer certainly provides it. Whether all seats are occupied or you have the back seats folded down, you’ll have more room for your gear inside the Explorer than inside the Pilot.

  • 18.2 cubic feet as standard
  • 87.8 cubic feet maximum
