Ford SUVs vs Competitors

Which SUV is Just Right for You? Check out our Comparison of Ford Vs. The Competition

Are you looking for an SUV that can accommodate you and your family in Tawas City? Listen, we understand that no one likes to drive around cramped and uncomfortable, especially when you've already had a long day at the office. Harsh seating combined with late afternoon traffic and complaining children is a recipe for disaster. So, to make your SUV search easier, we'll compare a list of some popular Ford SUVs vs. their competition.

Compare Your Ford SUV to the Competition

Mid-sized SUVs can accommodate growing families and make room for easy-going commutes in Oscoda. So, up first for the mid-sized SUV comparison, we've taken the Ford Edge and matched it against the Chevy Traverse and the Chevy Blazer. With gas-mileage practically identical, there are a few more ways that these mid-sized SUVs are different from one another.

Ford Edge

If you're looking for ample space for your children in the back seats, the Ford Edge can provide. It has more head and legroom than the Chevy Traverse and the Chevy Blazer. So, if your children hit a growth spurt, you won't have to change vehicles or adjust your seat to an uncomfortable driving position. The Ford Edge is also slimmer than its competition, so you'll have no problem squeezing into tight parking spaces in East Tawas. You can also tow up to 3,500lbs. when properly equipped and get a max of 335 hp for more strength.

Chevy Traverse

At 310 hp, the base level Chevy Traverse packs a little bit more horsepower than the base Ford Edge, but only by a smidge. But the lower torque level makes it difficult to transmit power to its wheels for quick bursts onto the highway. But the smaller interior is balanced by an abundant amount of cargo space. So, if you're planning on becoming the chauffeur for your kid's weekend sporting events, the Traverse can make room for equipment, luggage, and more-and it can also tow up to 5,000lbs when properly equipped.

Chevy Blazer

Torque and power both reside with the Chevy Blazer. This classic Chevy SUV does a great job providing the quick boost you need to bypass slower vehicles on the highway. The Chevy Blazer has a little less cargo space than both the Ford Edge and Chevy Traverse, but it can tow a maximum amount of 4,500lbs. when properly equipped.

Ford Expedition

The Ford Expedition sets itself apart with remarkable seating capacity. You can fit up to eight adults comfortably inside the Expedition. So, grab your kids and the grandparents and head out of town for a weekend in Hale, MI. There's also an exceptional amount of power underneath the hood. You're going to have a max output of 440 hp from your 3.5L V6 engine and a max towing capacity of 6,000lbs.

Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Brand SUVs are known for creating vehicles that handle off-road just as well as they do on paved surfaces. So, if you decide to drive the Grand Cherokee, you'll have an array of off-road features and 4x4 systems that will help you adapt to any surface in Whittemore, MI. Although you'll lose the battle in hp at a max of 293, you'll still have the strength to tow a couple hundred more pounds at 6,200. But, with much less space than the Expedition, you may have a hard time squeezing your family into this SUV.
