Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Explorer offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Land Rover Range Rover, with comparable head- and legroom. The Ford Explorer will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Range Rover.

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 Land Rover Range Rover, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Explorer is much slimmer than the Land Rover Range Rover, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Ford Explorer takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Land Rover Range Rover.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Land Rover Range Rover is clearly the choice over the Ford Explorer for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Explorer has a lot less horsepower than the Land Rover Range Rover.

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

Utility
The Ford Explorer offers greater seating capacity than the Land Rover Range Rover, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
