The 2025 Ford Explorer and 2025 Honda Pilot are midsize SUVs with three rows of seating, available all-wheel drive, and cabins peppered with storage cubbies. In other words, they’re both highly practical means of running errands, coping with a commute, or tackling long road trips. But which one is the better buy?
This year’s Explorer is the best it’s been in quite some time. Ford has revised the styling, updated the interior and added some new technology features. Not much changes for the 2025 Pilot. But it’s still pretty fresh from its 2023 full redesign and is easy to consider a class benchmark. Edmunds automotive experts put these SUVs head-to-head to help you decide.
