These two SUVs have similar features, but the 2022 Toyota Highlander comes out on top when it comes to fuel efficiency and convenient features. With an available mpg that is better than the Ford Explorer, the Toyota Highlander is able to offer a longer distance traveled on less fuel. The hybrid option is available on both vehicles as well. Big fan of FWD vehicles? We recommend the Toyota Highlander over the Ford Explorer for this feature. While both models offer standard lane departure warning systems, providing an alert when drifting out of your lane is detected, the Toyota Highlander is the only one of the two that offers an available auto-dimming rearview mirror. This useful mirror senses when headlights are glaring and reflecting off of the mirror in your direction with the ability to dim that reflection, ensuring safer driving at night. When you buy a Toyota, you will also get a fantastic no-cost maintenance plan. For 24 months or up to 25,000 miles (whichever comes first), you won’t have to worry about the cost of qualifying maintenance for your Toyota Highlander. As for the Ford, you will need to earn points by paying for parts and services which can be exchanged for perks. Doesn't sound so great to us.
