Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Chevrolet Blazer than the Ford Explorer. The Ford Explorer will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Blazer.

Convenience
The Chevrolet Blazer requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Ford Explorer, 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). When looking only at MSRP, the Chevrolet Blazer will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Ford Explorer.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Blazer is much slimmer than the Ford Explorer, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Chevrolet Blazer is slightly shorter than the Ford Explorer, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Blazer has a lot less horsepower than the Ford Explorer.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Blazer does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Ford Explorer.

Utility
The Chevrolet Blazer has less seating than the Ford Explorer, making the Ford Explorer the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
