Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Expedition offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Honda Pilot. The Ford Expedition will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Honda Pilot.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford Expedition as you will with the Honda Pilot, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). The Ford Expedition will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Honda Pilot, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Ford Expedition is a little wider than the Honda Pilot, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Ford Expedition, which is slightly longer than the Honda Pilot.

Handling
The Ford Expedition has a larger turning radius than the Honda Pilot, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Ford Expedition is clearly the choice over the Honda Pilot for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Expedition greatly out-muscles the Honda Pilot.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Ford Expedition does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Honda Pilot.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Ford Expedition and the Honda Pilot. The Ford Expedition has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Honda Pilot.
