If you’re looking for a tough, reliable new SUV, you can’t go wrong with Ford! At Joe Machens Capital City Ford, we offer a full lineup of high-performance Ford SUVs to choose from, all catering to a broad range of budgets and driving needs around Columbia. Two of our bestselling SUVs are the Ford Edge and Ford Explorer and offer strong performance specs and excellent capabilities over all types of terrain. They’re both great choices, but which model better suits your needs: the Ford Edge or Explorer? If you’re struggling to decide between these two excellent vehicles, check out the comparison guide below!
Price is often the first thing that drivers consider when shopping for a new ride, so it’s a great place to start our guide. The Ford Edge has already been updated for the 2024 model year, while the Explorer is still in its 2023 model. Therefore, the Edge is a bit pricier on its entry-level trim compared to the Explorer; however, you’ll notice that the top-level Edge trim is actually more affordable than its Explorer counterpart!

Another key difference between these two SUVs is their interior space. They’re both classified as midsize SUVs, but the Ford Edge is a bit smaller than the Explorer and offers two rows of seats instead of three and a smaller rear cargo bay. Here are the relevant interior dimensions for both vehicles:
