Why Choose The Nissan Pathfinder Over The Ford Explorer?

To begin with one of the most notable differences, the new Nissan Pathfinder has a starting MSRP* that is $5,000 less than the Ford. While both vehicles provide seating for up to seven, the Nissan has a bigger engine and more passenger volume than the Ford. If you need to get your whole team to practice, think about which new SUV will be the most comfortable for your passengers. Not only is the Pathfinder more comfortable thanks to its larger passenger volume, but it also has more cargo capacity than the Explorer. If it's an adventure-ready SUV that you're looking for, look no further than the 2020 Pathfinder.

Two more areas where the Pathfinder surpasses the Explorer is in fuel capacity and towing ability. Not only does the Pathfinder allow for longer time between fill-ups thanks to its larger fuel tank, but it can also tow more than the Explorer. When you want full-sized performance and capability, it's the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder over the competition.
