Â
Standard 13.2-inch LCD Touchscreen Infotainment System
The Ford Explorer is built to impress with an updated digitized center console that features a large infotainment touchscreen. The 4Runner is stuck in the past with an eight-inch touchscreen and wired-only connections for smartphone integration.
Three Rows of Comfort
The Ford Explorer can accommodate up to eight passengers with three rows of plentiful seating and a generous cargo hold. Access to the second and third rows is easy with one-touch and power-folding options. The 4Runner is only available as a two-row SUV, maxing out passenger seating at five.
Let the Outdoors In
Bring light and air into the cabin with the large glass panoramic moonroof. The Toyota 4Runner only offers an optional, smaller moonroof on some models.
ÂPractical Solutions for Gear, Groceries, and More
When the second and third rows are unoccupied, the Ford Explorer's interior can become a large cargo hold with seats that fold down to create a level, flat cargo hold. The 4Runner lacks the space, dimensions, and creative storage solutions built into the new Explorer.
Confident Trailer Control
The Ford Explorer and Toyota 4Runner offer trailer sway control as a standard feature to make trailering safer, but the Explorer goes a step further with AdvanceTrac® and RSC® (Roll Stability Control™) to bring more confidence in tricky trailering situations.
Impressive Towing Capabilities
The Ford Explorer and Toyota 4Runner are capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Connected Technology
The new Ford Explorer takes connected technology above and beyond the basics with a wide range of features designed to enhance your in-vehicle experience. The Toyota 4Runner comes standard with an eight-inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, both of which are wired connections. Compared to the advanced features and wireless capabilities that come standard on the Ford Explorer through a brilliant 13.2-inch LCD touchscreen, the 4Runner feels downright outdated.
YouTube Streaming
While in park, YouTube streaming, internet browsing, and Google Play is available to make wait times more fun.
Connected Apps
Google, Amazon, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™, seamlessly connect, work, and play in the new Ford Explorer.
Convenience in Every Row
Eight USB ports are scattered throughout the cabin, including two ports for third-row passengers and three 12-volt power sockets so everyone can stay charged up no matter how long the trip.
Powertrain Options
The new Ford Explorer is available with one of two powerful engine options, both of which beat the 270-horsepower V6 that is under the hood of every new Toyota 4Runner. Both SUVs offer standard rear-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive for added traction and off-road worthiness.
2.3L EcoBoost® I-4
The Explorer boasts a standard turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque.
3.0L EcoBoost V6
The upgraded V6 engine is standard on the ST trim, making 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque.
Safety and Driver Assistance Technology
The newest Ford Explorer is more sophisticated than ever, offering a wide range of safety and driver assistance features as part of Ford CoPilot360â„¢. The Toyota 4Runner offers similar features as the Explorer as part of Toyota Safety Sense P, but lacks some of the same features like emergency braking in reverse, which can save lives by automatically stopping the vehicle before colliding with a cyclist, children, elderly pedestrians, or nearby obstructions.
