  • Big and Confident Drive

    The Ford Explorer feels like a proper big SUV. I enjoy the height, it gives you confidence when driving on the road. The V6 engine has plenty of pull and doesn’t struggle even with a full load of passengers. I use it for family outings, and the seats are comfortable with good legroom for long trips. The sound system is pretty nice too for road trips. What I really value in the Explorer is the safety, there are multiple airbags and good driver-assist features like blind spot alerts. Yes, it takes more petrol compared to smaller SUVs, but if you’re looking for space and performance together, the Explorer will not disappoint.

  • Delivers everything expected from a full-size SUV

    The GMC Yukon XL delivers everything expected from a full-size SUV. With this vehicle, you’ll get top-tier comfort, massive space, and a wealth of features. Its plush ride and cavernous interior make it ideal for road trips or families. I have taken it with six passengers on three trips and every time it has been spectacular. However, what I do not like is the predictably poor gas mileage. You should be prepared to bear the upfront cost considering the fact that full-size SUVs are quite pricey. Overall, the GMC Yukon XL is a solid choice though it is a bit costly for those prioritizing capability and style.
