To help you learn more about both the 2019 Pilot and the 2019 Explorer, we've taken a closer look below. Keep reading for more information!
The 2019 Honda Pilot
For 2019, the Honda Pilot comes in five distinct trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite. The standard engine across all trim levels is a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. New for 2019 is the Honda Sensing suite which gets you adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, automatic high-beam assist, lane keeping assist, road departure mitigation, and frontal collision warning standard for each trim level.
In addition to this, you'll enjoy a variety of comfort and technology features. You receive a Wi-Fi hotspot, a 10-speaker premium audio system, heated rear seats, leather upholstery, driver-seat memory functions, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and more.
The 2019 Ford Explorer
When it comes to the 2019 Ford Explorer, shoppers have the choice of five trim levels: base, XLT, Limited, Sport, and Platinum. The base trim offers a 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers 290 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque. However, drivers can choose a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as an option. The Sport gets you a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 that generates 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque.
There's several features offered with the 2019 Explorer. Ranging from technology to comfort and everything in between, you'll find lots to love with the Explorer. For instance, some of the standard tech features you receive include a USB port, satellite radio, and more. Unfortunately, many of the safety, comfort, and technology features are only available when you equip various packages to your Explorer. With the Driver Connect package, you add an 8-inch central touchscreen, USB ports, Apple CarPlay, and more. The Safe and Smart package gets you blind-spot monitoring, automatic wipers, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and more.
How Can You Choose?
While both the 2019 Honda Pilot and the 2019 Ford Explorer both come with many trim levels and countless features, we believe one vehicle stands out above the other. When it comes to engine choices, there's no denying that the Ford Explorer gives you more options to consider. While this is great, we must question if it's truly necessary. After all, if you're purchasing an SUV, you're probably more concerned with the interior and all it brings to the table.
Since both vehicles get you lots of features, we must dig a little deeper. For the Pilot, you get standard features without having to equip any packages. With the Explorer, however, this isn't the case. If you want certain comfort, tech, or even safety features, you'll need to add extra packages. Ultimately, this is why we feel the 2019 Honda Pilot is a stronger contender.
