The third row is tiny, my 10 year old son says he definitely likes the Ford Explorer a lot more. I guess Fords are built pretty well, but I just know this Toyota Highlander will run forever. Oh well, guess I’m gonna have to drive an Explorer for a few days and see how we like it. Robinhedd "Guess I just got too much Mathews in me!"

It drove better than anything I tried. Not as good as my truck nut dang good for a SUV. Still happy with it.

IMO the Highlander provides a better ride but like you said drives like a minivan so I guess it's what she prefers. Lots of moms in my neighborhood have new Honda Pilots and they seems to really like them.

I have driven both to over 200,000 and neither has ever had any major issues. I purchased a year old Ford F150 with 20,000 miles six months ago. It has been to the dealership three times to fix the same issues, with no success. Ford tells me there is no fix for the issue. If you want reliability, go with a Toyota. Just one man's opinion.

I've had two friends that bought a G-class and both had a lot of issues and tires were worn out after 20-25K miles. Both of them got fed up, one traded for a Toyota and the other for a Lexus.
