Stivers Ford Montgomery - 2023 Ford Explorer vs 2023 Honda Pilot Comparison near Hoover AL

If you’re shopping for a midsize SUV and perhaps comparing the 2023 Ford Explorer vs the 2023 Honda Pilot, then you may be wondering how their various trim levels line up or whether they do at all. Stivers Ford Montgomery offers the 2023 Ford Explorer in a Base trim followed by seven up-level trims: XLT, ST-Line, Timberline, Limited, ST, King Ranch, and Platinum. Area Honda dealerships offer the 2023 Honda Pilot in six core trim levels, and those are the LX, Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite.

The first thing to know about these competitors is that their starting MSRPs are quite close. The base Explorer and Pilot LX are the most straightforward comparison, but we think most consumers will agree that the Ford standard equipment package is more impressive. The Explorer XLT is most directly comparable to the Honda EX-L. The Sport effectively serves as a bridge between the LX and EX-L and doesn’t live up to the name. The ST-Line and more advanced ST are sportier trims without a real equivalent in the Honda lineup. The Timberline and TrailSport are comparable as they’re both off-road models. The Limited and Platinum map to the Touring and Elite reasonably well, and Honda doesn’t have an analog for the King Ranch, which is a Western-themed variant of the Limited. Visit us near Hoover AL.
