2020 Durango vs. 2020 Explorer | Allentown, PA
Are you in the market for a high-performance, family-friendly SUV? Chances are good that you have added the 2020 Dodge Durango and 2020 Ford Explorer to the top of your list. But how can you choose between these three-row SUVs? When you look at them side by side, it becomes abundantly clear that the Dodge Durango is the superior option.
Price
While price probably won’t be your sole deciding factor, it doesn’t hurt that the 2020 Durango is offered much more affordably than the 2020 Explorer. In fact, by going with the Dodge’s base model over the Ford’s, you will save $6,180.
Performance
It’s no secret that Dodge is known for its high-performance vehicles. Despite being offered at a considerably lower price, the 2020 Durango boasts significantly more power than the 2020 Explorer. For example, the Durango’s top-of-the-line 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 engine is capable of towing up to 8,700 pounds. On the other hand, the Explorer maxes out at just 5,600 pounds.
The Dodge Durango’s most powerful edition is the Durango ST, whose engine is capable of producing 475 horsepower. Ford offers a similar variant, called the Explorer ST. The biggest difference is that it only manages to eke out 400 horsepower.
In total, the 2020 Dodge Durango offers three engines to choose from while the 2020 Ford Explorer limits you to two options.
Styling
While style ultimately comes down to personal preference, the Dodge Durango’s athletic sculpting is miles ahead of the Explorer’s design. LED lighting, strong lines, and the split crosshair grille make the Durango far more imposing than the new Ford Explorer; you can even get your Durango with available Mopar® dual racing stripes. The Durango also rides on larger wheel options and is available with an easy-to-use roof rack system.
