Comparison with Other SUVs in the Same Category
When comparing safety features with other mid-size SUVs like the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot, the Ford Explorer stands out due to the following:
- Toyota Highlander: Offers Toyota Safety Sense, which includes features like pre-collision detection, lane departure alert, and adaptive cruise control. It has received high safety ratings but generally lacks some of the more advanced features available in Ford’s Co-Pilot360.
- Honda Pilot: Comes with Honda Sensing, which includes collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. Like the Highlander, it has received strong safety ratings but does not match the Explorer’s range of available features.

The 2022 Ford Explorer provides a well-rounded package of performance, technology, and safety features, making it a competitive choice in the mid-size SUV segment. Its range of trims allows for customization based on budget and desired features, while its safety suite positions it strongly against competitors like the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot.
