Stop in today to see why the 2024 Ford Explorer specs beat out the rest when compared to other three-row SUVs, including the Honda Pilot and Kia Telluride.

Impressive Design

It’s easy to see from the outside that the 2024 Ford Explorer makes a bold impression with a massive grille and sporty design. The exterior is decked out with black door handles, a body-colored rear spoiler, a power liftgate and your choice of 18-inch or 21-inch wheels. This luxury SUV comes standard with LED headlamps while premium trims feature adaptive headlamps with LED signature lighting. The 2024 Ford Explorer at Ford of Port Richey is available with a twin-panel moonroof, heated power folding side mirrors, quad chrome exhaust tips and body-colored door handles.

When comparing the 2024 Ford Explorer vs Honda Pilot, you’ll find that the all-new Pilot does offer standard 18-inch wheels but only 20-inch wheels with premium trim levels. This SUV is available with a moonroof, too, but LED headlights are a premium option, as well as an active shutter grille. A side by side look at the 2024 Ford Explorer interior vs Honda Pilot interior shows that both models offer three-row seating

The 2024 Ford Explorer interior features cloth or leather seats with cargo hooks, grab handles and tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control as standard features. An upgrade gains you a 10-way power driver seat, multicontour seats with Active Motion^®, heated second row seats and heated and ventilated front seats. A heated steering wheel is available as well as a PowerFold^® third-row rear seat to expand the cargo space.

The 2024 Honda Pilot interior features similar seating options and tri-zone temperature control. Heated and ventilated front seats are available but you don’t get heated rear seats with this Honda SUV.

Multiple Engine Options

A comparison of the 2024 Ford Explorer vs Honda Pilot shows that you only get one engine option with the Pilot but two with the all-new Explorer from our Ford dealership in Port Richey, FL. The 2024 Ford Explorer is powered by a 300-horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost^® I-4 engine that delivers 310 lb-ft of torque while paired with rear-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic transmission. This luxury SUV is available with a 400-horsepower 3.0-liter EcoBoost^® V6 that generates 415 lb-ft of torque while paired with all-wheel drive.

In contrast, the 2024 Honda Pilot features a 285-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine for all trim levels with a 10-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It’s clear to see that when it comes to power and performance, the 2024 Ford Explorer is the most powerful of the two SUVs.

Enhanced Safety Features

Get ready to see the Ford Co-Pilot360^™ Safety Suite in action on a test drive of the 2024 Ford Explorer trim levels. This safety suite includes pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection, a rear view camera, blind spot monitoring, cross traffic alerts and lane departure warnings with lane keeping assist. Premium trims of the 2024 Explorer offer a 360-degree camera and reverse brake assist.

While the 2024 Honda Pilot does feature the Honda Sensing^™ Driver Assist suite with collision mitigation with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings and adaptive cruise control, only premium trims offer blind spot monitoring that comes standard with the 2024 Ford Explorer from our Ford dealership in Port Richey, FL.

Stand-Out Interior Technology

With plenty of room and comfort features, the 2024 Ford Explorer interior is clearly impressive, but wait until you see the bold technology. All configurations come standard with a push-button start, remote keyless entry, a Wi-Fi hotspot and smartphone syncing via Apple CarPlay^® and Android^™ Auto. An 8-inch touchscreen, USB ports and a 6-speaker sound system are standard with the entry-level trims, but an upgrade gains you a voice-activated navigation system, remote start, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen display with the SYNC^®3 infotainment system.

The 2024 Ford Explorer interior also offers a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen^® audio system, Active Park Assist 2.0 and intelligent access. The 2024 Honda pilot interior does feature smartphone syncing, a push-button start and USB ports. However, this Honda SUV is only equipped with a 7-inch or 9-inch touchscreen display and a Wi-Fi hotspot is a premium option.
