Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Edge offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Honda Pilot, with comparable head- and legroom. The Ford Edge offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Pilot, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
The Ford Edge requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Honda Pilot, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Ford Edge or the Honda Pilot, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Edge is much slimmer than the Honda Pilot, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Ford Edge, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Honda Pilot.

Handling
The Ford Edge has a larger turning radius than the Honda Pilot, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Honda Pilot is clearly the choice over the Ford Edge for pulling heavy loads. The Ford Edge has a little less horsepower than the Honda Pilot.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Ford Edge transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Honda Pilot.

Utility
Soccer Moms beware - the Ford Edge seats a lot fewer people than the Honda Pilot. The Ford Edge has less cargo space than the Honda Pilot, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
