Compared to the 2022 Toyota Highlander, the 2022 Ford Explorer has the upper hand with more back row headroom, front row legroom, and cargo space. It outshines the Toyota SUV with greater towing capacity, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and a power liftgate on the base Explorer trim. The Explorer offers a base trim turbocharged 2.3L 4-cylinder with 300 hp and 310 lb-ft, a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 that makes 400 hp and 415 lb-ft, and a 3.3L hybrid V6 that produces 318 hp and 322 lb-ft. With these powertrains, the Ford SUV has more significant outputs than the Highlander’s engine. In addition, standard rain-sensing windshield wipers are available on five Explorer trims, but only two top Highlander trims make the feature standard.
