2026 Ford Explorer Specs vs. the Competition

When West Memphis SUV shoppers compare performance, it often comes down to horsepower, torque and confidence-building capability features.

If you're commuting, carpooling, or road-tripping, cabin usability makes a big difference, especially when you want third-row flexibility and everyday climate comfort. The 3-row Explorer SUV offers luxuries like a standard 13.2 touchscreen and Tri-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control, ensuring everyone enjoys the ride ahead. The Grand Cherokee, meanwhile, only offers an available third row and dual-zone climate control, leaving you wanting more. And if you choose a Highlander in West Memphis, you'll have to settle for a much smaller touchscreen display.
