Compare GMC Acadia Vs Ford Explorer

If you're looking for a midsize SUV that offers a mix of ruggedness and refinement, the GMC Acadia offers plenty of the capability and comfort you look for in a daily driver. So, how does the Acadia fare when stacked against rivals like the Ford Explorer? The Acadia offers excellent fuel economy, an easygoing ride quality, an easy-to-use infotainment system, and more, so we're confident that the GMC Acadia will be the right choice for your journeys around Massachusetts.

The GMC Acadia is geared towards helping you and your loved ones stay comfortable, safe, and connected during your adventures. It comes equipped with a standard rear cross traffic alert system to assist you with safely backing out of parking spots, and it offers an available high-definition Surround Vision system to give you a better sense of what is happening around your vehicle.

Unlike the Explorer, the Acadia offers an off-road-ready trim in the form of the Acadia AT4 that comes with all-terrain tires and other off-road equipment to help you take command of rough terrain. So, if you like to wander off the beaten path, the Acadia does an excellent job of keeping up with all kinds of adventures.

The GMC Acadia offers the option to upgrade to a powerful 3.6L V6 engine, which offers impressive horsepower and torque. The best part? This engine is optional on the SLE trim. To take advantage of V6 power in the Ford Explorer, you have to climb the trim ladder to the Limited Hybrid model or up to the high-tier ST trim. So, it's easier to take advantage of more strength when you choose the GMC Acadia.
