Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Explorer than in the INFINITI QX60. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Ford Explorer and the INFINITI QX60.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford Explorer as you will with the INFINITI QX60, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). Clearly, the Ford Explorer is a better financial choice over the INFINITI QX60, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Ford Explorer is a little wider than the INFINITI QX60, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Ford Explorer takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the INFINITI QX60.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the INFINITI QX60 is clearly the choice over the Ford Explorer for pulling heavy loads. The Ford Explorer has a little more horsepower than the INFINITI QX60.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Ford Explorer transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the INFINITI QX60.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Ford Explorer and the INFINITI QX60.
