2020 Ford Explorer vs 2019 Chevrolet Traverse - Prestige Ford
2020 Ford Explorer vs 2019 Chevrolet Traverse
For good reason, the Ford Explorer has remained a best-selling SUV for more than 20 years. Drivers have always loved the Explorer’s versatility. Expect the all-new 2020 Ford Explorer to be one of the hottest SUV’s of the year. It benefits from a long list of improvements. Not only does the redesigned Explorer pack more performance, but it also offers an even greater number of luxurious features. Meanwhile, a striking exterior design makes the Explorer look more stunning than ever before. While the new Explorer is impressive, some people will also be looking at the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. In this 2020 Ford Explorer vs 2019 Chevrolet Traverse comparison, we’ll find out which one of these three-row crossovers brings more to the table.
Exterior - 2019 Ford Explorer
The 2020 Ford Explorer offers an even more exciting list of features. Ford’s SYNC 3 infotainment system remains a big highlight. While an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard, you can upgrade to a stunning 10.1-inch touchscreen. This is much bigger than the Chevy Traverse’s infotainment display. If you want to experience a more luxurious ride, opt for the Explorer’s Multicontour Seats with Active Motion. Massage functions enable these seats to treat you to an especially relaxing drive. Chevy does not offer the Traverse with massaging seats. While the Traverse offers a 10-speaker Bose audio system, it can’t make the sound quality of the Explorer’s 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo system.

Interior - 2019 Ford Explorer at Prestige Ford
When buying a new family vehicle, interior room becomes a big concern. You can trust the Ford Explorer to provide more than enough space to stretch out. Even tall drivers will enjoy being behind the wheel of the new Explorer. In comparison to the Chevrolet Traverse, it provides an extra 2.0 inches of front legroom. There’s also more legroom in the Explorer’s second row. Whether you’re traveling locally or taking a long trip on the highway, expect the new Explorer to provide superior comfort.
Mechanical - Ford Explorer specs at Prestige Ford
If you need a multi-purpose SUV, look no further than the new Ford Explorer. An optional Trailer Tow package helps you to pull a big load with confidence. Ford rates the new Explorer with a maximum towing capacity of 5,600 pounds. From campers to a trailer full of ATVs, you can use the Explorer to haul a variety of different things. Rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, the new Chevrolet Traverse is clearly not as capable as the new Explorer. Remember, trailer sway control only comes standard on the Ford Explorer. This feature gives you extra peace of mind when pulling a trailer.
Powertrain - 2019 Ford Explorer dealer
When checking out the new Ford Explorer at Prestige Ford, you’ll have three great powertrains to choose from. The base power source is a turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. It cranks out a healthy 310 pound-feet of torque. By comparison, Chevy rates the Traverse’s standard V6 engine to develop only 266 pound-feet of torque. Because of the Explorer’s additional torque, it feels a lot stronger around town. If you desire more driving excitement, check out the new Explorer ST. This model is specially engineered for serious driving enthusiasts. Twin turbochargers help its muscular V6 engine to develop a thrilling 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. When accelerating from a stop, the high-powered Explorer ST can reach 60 mph in a stunning 5.5 seconds. On the other hand, it takes the Traverse around 6.7 seconds to hit 60 mph.
Safety - 2019 Ford Explorer dealer
Like the new Ford Explorer, the Chevrolet Traverse is designed to provide great crash protection. However, Chevy does not equip the Traverse with any standard accident-avoidance technologies. Meanwhile, every new Explorer benefits from Ford's Co-Pilot360 safety package. You’ll enjoy a number of valuable driving aids, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and blind-spot monitoring. Furthermore, only the Explorer offers rear automated braking.
