Ford Explorer vs. Honda Pilot Near Bangor, ME

Set the Explorer against the Honda Pilot and the Explorer wins for Bangor families who want their three-row SUV to drive like it means it. Its rear-drive-based platform gives it a more confident, balanced feel than the front-drive Pilot, it offers a genuine performance trim in the ST that the Pilot has no answer for, and available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving puts it a step ahead on long trips. The Pilot is a roomy, dependable option, but for space and drive feel in one package, the Explorer is the stronger pick, and a test drive at Darling's Bangor Ford makes the gap clear.

  • Rear-drive-based platform for a more composed drive than the front-drive Pilot
  • Available ST performance trim with no Pilot equivalent
  • Available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving
